About this house rental

Located in Idyllwild-Pine Cove, this lovely house for $369 per night is a great option for your next trip. Almost Heaven is a charming “old Idyllwild” cabin located on Strawberry Creek. Walking distance from town, you can meander along the creek and be in town in 5 minutes or walk along the road and arrive in 10. The original cabin was built in 1923 and expanded over the years to four bedrooms and three bathrooms. It’s the perfect size for families or groups of friends. Spacious yet warm and inviting. The back deck is surrounded by nature on all sides. Looking out over a grove of trees, you can hear the soothing sounds of the seasonal Strawberry Creek. The backyard is park like and expansive, stretching from the deck through the trees to the creek. The grand room, centered around a brick fireplace, is furnished with handmade, vintage cedar couches and chairs, a game table and a beautiful, hand-carved cedar dining table. There is also a 65” smart TV for snuggling up and watching your favorite TV show or movie. This grand room allows families the space to be together yet plenty of room to do different activities. The very well-equipped kitchen is also a cozy gathering place with a Franklin stove, a coffee bar and an expandable vintage table with leaves right inside the table - way cool! A big picture window brings nature right inside this comfy room with access to a sizable back deck, equipped with a jacuzzi for enjoying the starlit nights. There is also a 12’ cedar picnic table that will accommodate a large group. Or you can sit on the porch swing and enjoy the beauty of the natural surroundings. A barbecue is available to guests, as well as a washer/dryer located in a small utility room on the deck. The front porch catches the early sunlight and is a delightful spot to enjoy a morning cup of coffee. We think the name “Almost Heaven” fits this very special cabin perfectly! Bedroom #1 - King bed in a very large room with a cozy sitting area, jack and jill bathroom shared with Bedroom #2 The 3rd bathroom with clawfoot tub/shower is located between the grand room and the kitchen. Bedroom #2 - Two double beds with jack & jill bathroom shared with Bedroom #1.

If I had to make any recommendations or requests, It would be that there are sheets on the beds, there was a mattress cover sheet but the one that you cover up with wasn't on the beds, actually there was one on the biggest room but not the other 3. Everything else was great. Thank You

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved almost everything about the cleanliness, cozy Cabin vibe with loads of room for all. We were six adults and one 5 year old. We truly had a magical experience partially due to the service setting us up beforehand. Seamless. Wonderful. Will come again soon!

Overall this was a great property, and was an amazing location. So close to town center and an easy walk or drive. The property is gorgeous, and we loved walking along the creek through the back yard. The house itself is huge and the bedrooms were spacious and clean. Plenty of clean towels and sheets. And the living room and kitchen were so cozy. On the negative side, the back deck is ready to fall through in places and desperately needs to be replaced. We had to avoid the entire right side of the deck since multiple boards were so soft and clearly falling apart that were had a real fear of one of us (or one of the kids!) falling through. We were also really excited for the hot tub, but unfortunately none of the jets on half of the tub were working. All in all, would definitely recommend, but it definitely needs some maintenance updates, especially for safety reasons.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It is a beautiful home but clearly equipped more for winter than the extreme heat we are experiencing now. Please add more fans at least. There was no soap or body wash in the bathrooms. Much less shampoo/conditioner. One person forgot their phone charger at the cabin and the company has not responded to return it.

Clean house, clear instructions, excellent stays.

We had a great stay here, plenty of space for the 8 people. The view from the jacuzzi is gorgeous looking out over the deck into the forest. The kitchen was well stocked. Quick walk to the town. Perfect house and we'll stay again!
