Fern Valley Cabin | Rare & Authentic in Prime Location, Views, Chef Kitchen & Style

2 Bedroom Cabin in Fern Valley, Idyllwild-Pine Cove

Once owned by Dinah Shore, this 1953 tastefully restored cabin is located on a 1/2 acre of beautiful forest in prime Fern Valley. Highlights are chef kitchen, central air and heat, fireplaces, views from windows, loads of architectural character and two very separate sleeping areas great for groups or families.
This classic cabin is the perfect place to tuck away for a nature loving, hiking, climbing, cooking, or chilling week or weekend with friends/family/collaborators, in a spacious and tastefully furnished and updated true Idyllwild gem. The house is located in Fern Valley with an elevation near 6000 feet above sea level. Tall pines surround the home and views of trees and peaks are seen from the windows and all points of the property. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful and makes for a wonderful walk just outside the door, and of course world-class hiking and mountaineering are just minutes away.
This cabin was recently updated with modern amenities while staying true to the original character of the house. Most of the house is original, so it has its nuances too and is suited to guests who appreciate its historic charm.
The kitchen is very well equipped, with new high quality appliances, professional cookware, tableware, lighting and linens and aims to please the professional to the home cook. The 2006 vintage AGA stove is dual fuel with a propane gas range, and electric heat for the 3 ovens (roasting, convection and standard).
The bedrooms are conveniently very separate so that the sound from one will not disturb the other. Two spacious bedrooms are the perfect arrangement for two couples, a group of friends or a family.
Designed around the original cabin, the main living room has a loft above it with another room added on making the upstairs a large open floor plan suite. The bed is Queen sized. There is a balcony off of the room and the bathroom is a half bath. The loft is a lounge/ game/ movie watching area.
The main bedroom is downstairs through a hallway off of the main cabin. It has a California King bed, a fireplace, a full bathroom with tub and radiant floor heat. It also has a porch and a separate non-keyed entry.
The third full bathroom is downstairs and it has a shower.
This living room has couch and lounge chair seating for 4 plus a card table for 4. There is a fireplace here as well.
For hikers, several trail heads are in walking distance (Humber Park (1.1 miles), Ernie Maxwell (1 mile) and Suicide Rock(1/2 mile). For those who want to stay behind, the house is an experience and delight in itself with many windows to gaze from, nooks in which to play games and watch movies, and plenty of table space to read, write or work remotely with the lightning fast internet.
There are sitting and eating areas outside to enjoy the morning light or the late afternoon sunset. No open fires in Idyllwild- sorry. But the house has two fireplaces. One in the main bedroom and one in the living room.
This house is on high speed internet but most cellular service does not work here. Depending on your cell service it is possible to enable Wifi calling on your cell phone. That is how we make and receive calls. There is a landline as well.
The town is walkable (1.5 miles) but you will likely prefer the short drive down to the town. The village tree is lit for the holidays and you might even catch Max the dog Mayor of Idyllwild stumping from his pickup truck. The village has many restaurants, coffee and gift shops and a tiny but awesome movie theater, a climbing shop to gear up for the peaks and great village grocery with organic produce and plant-based options.
We are also available to answer your questions and help you to make the most out of your Idyllwild stay.
We allow pets upon approval. But we will only consider house-broken, well behaved, mature animals with conscientious and tidy human caretakers. Tell us about your friend.

Summary: Communication with the property manager was very good for any concern we had. The cabin is really clean and cozy. They have firewood that you can use for 25 per day. The kitchen is easy to cook in! Feels very private even though it is close to a road. We definitely want to return some day!

Summary: We have stayed in several Idyllwild, Arrowhead, and Big Bear cabins, and this is, by far, one of the most authentic cabin experiences we've had. The timbered cabin is on a beautiful, serene property and has everything you'd need to enjoy your time in the woods. The kitchen is well-equipped and open. There are dining tables here and on the front deck. The primary bedroom is down a short flight of stairs and has its own vintage bathroom and a deck. Bring a couple camp chairs to sit here or on the small balcony upstairs, which is an ideal place to read a book or watch the jays and squirrels in the trees. The loft contains a lovely bedroom that opens up to a hallway. At the other end of the loft is a mattress and TV. There's even a small washroom upstairs. The front deck is spacious and has a wooden swing, a dining table, and space to set up another chair or two. One of my favorite spots on the property was the set of Adirondack chairs, from which you can look up to see the top of Suicide Rock (yes, this name does need changing) or a sunset. The property is not far from town, but the area is at a higher elevation (be aware if you are prone to altitude sickness). The neighborhood is quiet and great for evening or morning walks. Trails are nearby, too. Kate was very responsive and her rules are logical and fair. The only improvement I can think of is to have a larger trashcan outside. But that's a small inconvenience versus the excellent experience.

Summary: This old restored cottage is in a great location in Fern Valley. The owners did a nice job of renovating the kitchen with modern new Appliances. There are two working fireplaces to help warm up the house along with some mini split heaters in the bedroomsThe cottage is surrounded by some large pines for privacy. We enjoyed our time there despite having to leave a day early to escape before the snow got too deep.

Summary: Our stay in Idyllwild was great. The cabin was clean, spacious, and well equiped, and made for a very comfortable place to stay. We can strongly recommend this property.

Summary: There is so, so, so much to love here -- from the gorgeous cabin, tastefully refurbished without destroying the cozy vintage charm, to the generous and thoughtful amenities and the excellent and welcoming host. Our stay was wonderful, the property especially well-suited to a family of four who love to cook. So many details, from the Aga stove, to the stone fireplaces, stained glass and carved woodwork, picture windows and beautifully redone tongue-and-groove ceilings... a true wow. We will definitely be back!

Summary: We really enjoyed our stay here. Great kitchen for home cooking, and the neighborhood was beautiful for quiet walks in nature. Looking forward to returning someday.
