About this house rental
Only 25-minutes from the valley floor, this estate is thoughtfully designed for large groups, featuring a main house with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms (hosting 12 beds) plus a detached 5th bedroom "casita" with a queen bed.
We want you to feel completely at home on the ridge! We provide a comprehensive house manual with tips on the best local trails and stargazing spots. We’ll leave you to your privacy, but we’re just a message away if you need anything at all. We love this mountain and are happy to help you make the most of your stay
Located in the exclusive Springcrest community of Mountain Center, you are perfectly positioned between the desert and the pines.
Idyllwild (15 mins): Head up the hill for world-class hiking, local art galleries, and the famous Idyllwild gastronomy scene.
Palm Desert (25 mins): Take the breathtaking "Palms to Pines" scenic highway (Hwy 74) down to El Paseo for high-end shopping and dining.
Adventure: Minutes from Lake Hemet (boating/fishing) and various trailheads for the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT).
You will have exclusive access to the entire 3-acre estate and the full 4-bedroom main residence. Please note: The driveway is quite steep, reflecting our high-altitude ridge location. We recommend vehicles with good clearance, and while the driveway can accommodate 5+ cars, we suggest arriving during daylight hours for your first visit to get comfortable with the terrain.
Welcome to a premier 3-acre estate designed for those who need more than just a place to sleep. Perched on a dramatic ridge in the San Jacinto Mountains, this architectural sanctuary offers a rare combination of high-capacity lodging and serene, panoramic views of the Coachella Valley.
Strategic Layout for Groups & Retreats:
Individual Sleeping:
With 12 beds across 4 spacious bedrooms, your group can enjoy individual sleeping arrangements rather than sharing—a must-have for professional off-sites or friend groups.
Dual-Kitchen Efficiency:
Two full kitchens allow for seamless catering. Use one for main meal prep and the second as a dedicated beverage station or snack hub for your workshops.
The "Silent Zone":
Located in a designated quiet area, the property is the ultimate "Digital Detox" environment. The 500 sq. ft. flexible bonus space is ideal for yoga, breakout sessions, or a temporary workspace.
Nature’s Backdrop:
Breathtaking Vistas: Floor-to-ceiling windows and massive wrap-around decks offer front-row seats to the valley below.
Stargazer’s Paradise:
Our high-altitude location and low light pollution make this a premier destination for viewing the Milky Way.
Adventure Access:
You are just minutes from the Pacific Crest Trail and Idyllwild’s famous hiking, making this the perfect home base for high-altitude training.
Other Details to Note
Quiet Hours: To preserve the tranquility of the Ribbonwood "Silent Zone," we strictly enforce outdoor quiet hours starting at 10 PM.
Connectivity: While we encourage a "unplugged" experience, the home is equipped with high-speed internet suitable for video conferencing and streaming.
Seasonal Beauty: At 4,000+ feet, you may experience light snow in the winter—please plan for 4WD or chains if visiting during the colder months.
