The Most Amazing Views in Idyllwild! - Sleeps 16
About this house rental
Located in Idyllwild-Pine Cove, this lovely house for $581 per night is a great option for your next trip. Dwelling at Ponderosa is a spectacular 4000 square foot vacation home located in beautiful Idyllwild, Ca. The house is perfect for weekend getaways, retreats or family reunions. Sleeps up to 16 with the most amazing views imaginable!! The owner is an architect and the home was meticulously designed with keen attention to both aesthetics and function. This home provides a visual experience and natural setting that has absolutely amazed past guests. The kitchen is fully equipped with all necessary bowls, pans, griddles and cookware and dining service for 16. Additionally, there are two dishwashers...nice!! The upper level has a Great Room which includes a dining area that has a table that seats 14-16. There is also a separate library with an ever growing stock of books. (This room also makes a great place for the kid's to play, yet still stay in site. The room has a glass door to view the ruckus yet keep the quiet). Also, the library has a game table and a case of board games and puzzles. But please note, what the house is not stocked with any media nor does it have WIFI. Our desire for this home was to create an environment where people can experience close community and interaction with each other and nature; thus, there is no television, computer, cable, internet, etc. (Cell phone reception is excellent, however). There is an eight foot glass barn door that opens to the outdoor patio which has a direct view of Lily Rock and creates a lovely indoor/outdoor feel. The bedroom level is uniquely laid out, where each bedroom has its own sink. In addition to the two suites that have their own bath, there are two showers and and three toilets, all of which are in their own separate rooms. Nobody ever hogs the bathroom in this home!! Please note that the house is set up on the hill, which provides amazing views and privacy. However, there are 40 steps from the driveway to the house and the site is steep in some areas.

We needed a clean and comfortable place for a family get-together over the weekend, and found this place. The place was just right for the size and the needs of our family, a clean, well-stocked accommodation with the right amenities in terms of the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, a large sized room to interact, have fun connecting with each other - together and in smaller groups by age and enjoy games across generations.
The place is a nice getaway from everywhere in SoCal , tucked away in the idyllic Idyllwild -Pinecove area in the San Bernardino National Forest. The 1+ hour drive from Temecula to here was well-worth, given the scenic vistas on the way, and at the venue.
Tony, the owner shared clear instructions and floor plans well in advance that made the check-in, stay and check-out process very easy. He was very responsive throughout the process.
The house was designed for large family/friend gatherings with a view to reduce distractions from modern technologies such as TV and internet, and encourage close and fun-filled in-person interactions. The highlight of the house is the great room on the third floor with amazing scenic views of the mountains, if you can muster the stamina to climb the 40+ stairs to get there! 😊
In summary, if you're looking for a quiet retreat with a group of near and dear ones, this is a perfect place for you!

Pleasant Stay
We loved the view of this cabin. It’s big and comfortable. We loved how quiet the neighborhood is. We wished it had extra blankets for every bed. We did need a 4 wheel drive vehicle since road was icy during our stay! Overall, we enjoyed our stay and spending time with family!

A Great Place to (re)Connect with family and friends!
It was the perfect place for the kids, significant others and the grands! Great spaces for games, quiet conversations and privacy.
We had an amazing time and enjoyed the fresh air and quick access to local hiking trails. Idyllwild (the town) was a great place to explore.

Great place to unplug!
We had a tall order. We wanted to find a place that had a great view, was spacious, not too far from town, but secluded enough to feel separated from the world.
We specially looked for a place that had no cable tv, wifi or distractions. This place checked all the boxes!!! We'll definitely be back.

It’s a excellent place to get away
We all enjoy the cabin, our main reason we choose this location was to enjoy the snow, when we were driving up we were kind of sad, because there weren't snow, but likely for us this cabin us located in an area where the sun don't reach it much, the cabin has a big private backyard were we found enough snow to have fun.
The inside has enough room for everybody.
Overall we are very happy with this place and we are planning to come back next year

Amazing Experience!
Aside from the beautiful view and area, the cabin itself was amazing! It felt like we were in a friends house. It was a great place to relax and have fun and we didn't feel crammed at all. The group we brought up had so much fun, it was hard to leave! When we got there the place was very neat and clean and there we're no signs of any problems. Our team was able to have great quality time, team building moments and so much more. We would pick this place 10/10 times again!!

Blessed to Have Experienced This Place!!!
What a beautiful peaceful place. This home is everything that it was described and much more. What a great place to relax, enjoy the beautiful sounds of nature, fresh air and more important enjoy quality time with family and friends. The rooms and home is 5 STAR!!! NO INTERNET, NO TV!! That was a big plus. Cell phone coverage is great. I say that because we were able to have our children run around and enjoy playing board games, talk to each other, and enjoy the fireplace and relax. If your looking to disconnect from your everyday life, come and see for yourself this amazing place.

Great for a family
Our family had a wonderful family reunion at this magnificent facility. We were treated well and had a great time. Memories were made that will be held precious forever. I thought the stainless steel in the kitchen was very practical for maintenance. There were lots of in-house activities with the library and game room.

EXCELLENT vacation stay
We stayed at this beautiful vacation home with my family over the July 4th weekend. The home is a true masterpiece. The owner is an architect and his attention to detail is evident in every corner of the 3 story home. I can say with confidence that this is the crown jewel of all the vacation homes in Idyllwild. The rooms, all in all, accommodate over 20 people very comfortably with plenty of linens, towels, bathrooms, sinks, and baths. The highlight of the house is the high-ceiling living room, dining room, and kitchen on top of the 3rd floor, with huge glass windows and a sliding glass door leading to a patio with great views of the trees and mountains. Simply breathtaking! The pictures, shown on the website really don't do it justice. I loved the idea of no TV! It brought everyone together in a beautiful way. Lots of board games to keep everyone busy for hours. The kitchen was more than fully equipped. I've only got good things to say about the place and how easy it was to deal with the owner and can not wait to plan our next vacation there. Thank you Tony for a great experience!

Just Amazing
I rented the house to celebrate my birthday with my family and friends and I could not be happier!!!
FLOOR PLAN: the owner is a architect and you can tell how smartly everything is designed!
BEDROOMS: each bedroom has its own sink and 21 people fit easily. Enough toilets and showers.
KITCHEN: designed and equipped to entertain a large group of people. Maybe only the refrigerator is quite small for so many people. But we had extra coolers with us and there was no problem to keep our drinks and food chilled. We prepared all our meals in the house and the big kitchen was a fun place to hang out.
LIVINGROOM: just amazing! The best of all: the eight foot glass barn door that opens to the outdoor patio which has a direct view of Lily Rock.....
OWNER: It was very easy to communicate with Anthony and he emailed me all detailed information and floor plans of the house with the rental agreement.
OVERALL: very happy and I would like to rent the house again.
Thank you Anthony for offering us your amazing home,
Monika
