Loved staying at the Nook. It was so peaceful and comfy. We had everything that we needed. Just brought clothes and food. I would definitely recommend to stay at the Nook if you want some peace and quiet.

Weekend Trip to Serene forest privacy for 4WD
We had the pleasure of renting both the Creekside Container Cabin and the Canvas Tent during our stay, and it was such an amazing experience! The Creekside Container Cabin was perfect for those moments when we wanted a bit more comfort and structure. The beautifully handcrafted furniture added such a charming and personal touch to the space, and the big picture window allowed us to soak in the gorgeous surroundings from the cozy indoors. Having a sink with gravity-operated water and the nearby composting toilet was convenient, and the large patio with bar seating became our favorite spot to relax with a morning coffee. The fact that bedding and basic kitchen supplies were provided made our stay even easier. The cabin has a thoughtful design and provides an ideal "glamping" experience – not overly fancy, but still comfortable and immersive in nature.
What made our trip even better was being able to pair this cabin with the Canvas Tent, giving us options to enjoy both a cozy indoor space and a more rugged camping experience for our group. Both sites are close enough to offer the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation, all within minutes of downtown Idyllwild. The hosts were incredibly accommodating, and their warm hospitality made everything even better. We highly recommend this rental – or better yet, rent both and enjoy the best of both worlds like we did!

Thank you guys so much for an excellent birthday weekend. Such great hosts greeted us the evening of our arrival and even put a happy birthday flag out with very short notice . Cabin is secluded with only the sounds of nature which was exactly what we were looking for. Still close enough to town to not be inconvenient. Definitely will be coming back.

Weekend Trip to The Engels Nest Fall Leaves!
The cabin is so cute and easy to find/access! It was less than a 5 minute drive from the lake and there were lots of trails nearby. The trails were a bit tricky to navigate with little signage so we didn't venture too far but the views were still great. I would recommend bringing essentials (shampoo, body wash, coffee) but the cabin had pots, pans, toaster, dishes, etc. I would definitely recommend this cabin for a relaxing slow paced weekend away!

The Nook is truly a special place. It is tucked away in the woods, and on the quietest road you can imagine. I don't think I saw a car driving by the while time we were there so if you are looking for true peace and quiet, this is it!
The property itself has so many amenities, like a fully stocked kitchen, painting nook, tons of boardgames and books. It also has a TV for cozy movie nights!
The bedrooms were SO cozy too and the bathroom even had a jetted tub!!
We were so sad to leave the Nook, and are already planning our trip back.
Thank you again, Abby!

Weekend Trip to Serene forest privacy for 4WD
This spot is very private! Great spot for star gazing and exploring along the mountain side. Perfect for dogs to roam off leash (with supervision, the owner warned of occasional mountain lions). We went in August and the day was very hot but the evenings were very pleasant. The trail going up to the location is short but DEFINITELY requires 4WD. The campsite had everything you need and the owners were very responsive and even came out to guide us in to the spot. We for sure will be coming back again!

We had a wonderful long weekend in the mountains at The Nook. Abby, our host was very responsive and helpful. The cabin was clean, cozy and well stocked with everything you would need for a comfortable stay. Would definitely recommend. The dirt road was a bit of a challenge but after a couple times back and forth you figure it out. Would stay there again.

Weekend Trip to The Engels Nest Fall Leaves!
We had the most wonderful time staying at this beautiful cabin, was very hard to leave!
Really did feel like home, so cozy and comfortable.
Just a few minutes from some very special spots, such as inspiration point where you can witness a truly spectacular sunset, also the very cool Black Dog Social Club, had a lovely time listening to live music there, sipping on a beer overlooking the lake… just perfect. Thank you to Jodi and family for opening up this unique and beautiful home, we’ll be back!
You should book to stay here, you won’t regret it.

Weekend Trip to The Nook
The Nook was such a cozy respite with a lovely view of the land. The house was surrounded by trees, birds and critters, and Abby was a kind and helpful host. I look forward to returning to this corner of the woods!

What a treasure! The Nook was a peaceful, rejuvenating place that I am so happy my dog and I stayed at! Besides it being spacious and cozy at the same time, it is extremely clean, safe and perfectly decorated! The Nook had everything I needed exactly when I needed it. It felt like it was created knowing what I needed or wanted before I even knew. Most thoughtful kind family that hosts you and by the end of your stay you find yourself leaving a new home away from home. More than worth the stay. *It is 8 min away from town, hikes, huge park and go get a spa day pass at the local resort! So much to do!*
