ENJOY FOREST VIEWS IN FRONT OF THE FIREPLACE OR OUT ON THE BIG DECK. SERENITY CABIN is just a 2 hour drive from San Diego, Orange County or Los Angeles, and less than an hour drive to Palm Springs. Located in Idyllwild, next to the San Bernardino National Forest, and at over 6000 foot elevation, SERENITY CABIN is in a quiet setting just half a mile to wilderness hiking and challenging rock climbin
g trails, and about a mile to Idyllwild town center. Warm and cozy enough for 1 or 2, yet roomy enough for up to 6 people, SERENITY is a tastefully decorated vintage 1961 cabin. Enjoy our knotty pine interior and huge wood-burning fireplace. You will arrive for your vacation with everything ready for you, including fresh linens and towels and a fully stocked kitchen. Managed by Quiet Creek Vacations. Relaxation mode sets in almost immediately. Our forced-air heater keeps all the rooms warm and cozy on those chilly nights. SERENITY has two large bedrooms (1 queen; 2 twin beds), plus a queen sofa bed and 1 Bath (with tub/shower). At nearly 1000 sq ft, it is roomy, yet cosy. There's a big deck with a BBQ, and a large back yard surrounded by HUGE, ancient pines, oaks, and cedar trees. A hammock swings between the trees. Winter is really special, and we usually get lots of snow. The kids will enjoy sledding out back in the winter. Build a snowman or snow-woman! Feed the birds and squirrels. Listen to the coyotes and owls at night, and see more stars than you ever have before. Gorgeous and relaxing! The views from SERENITY CABIN will remind you of Yosemite National Park. Enjoy Lily Rock and Su***de Rock from the front of the cabin and Su***de Rock from the huge back deck. Whimsical tree carvings of a bear and raccoons are out back. The big deck is great for just sitting and birdwatching (over 30 species seen over one weekend!). SERENITY is cosy and warm in the winter, with cool breezes in the summer. See gorgeous autumn colors, or take photos of the springtime wildflowers. A very clean, comfy cabin for a romantic get-away, holiday or family gathering. SERENITY CABIN is near the Idyllwild Arts campus, with weekly concerts, plays, lectures and art. Great restaurants, shops, galleries, live music and a movie theatre in town. Hiking, mountain biking and rock climbing all within a short distance. Two nearby lakes for fishing. Horseback riding available at the nearby Little Yellow Ranch. Fantastic birdwatching, right from the deck. 1/2 mile to Humber Park trailheads for hiking and climbing. Less than 1 mile to Idyllwild town. Activities at 1000 Trails in Pine Cove (~5 miles north of town), for a $10 day-use fee: swimming pool, kids' playground, horses for rent. Idyllwild town has fun festivals including a 4th of July parade, the Lemon Lily Festival and others. Sorry, no smoking and no pets. SERENITY CABIN is not suitable for non-ambulatory guests.
