Tahquitz Rock Lodge

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

It's about time you treated yourself to an escape, and this dog-friendly Idyllwild vacation rental is the perfect place to do it! Relax and rejuvenate in this gorgeous log cabin, enjoying the warm wood-burning fireplace, evergreen tree surroundings, and restorative atmosphere all around you.

Located in peaceful Idyllwild, CA, voted L.A.'s Best Mountain Getaway, this quiet cabin will give you some much-needed rest and seclusion from your busy life. Take a breather and take it easy. Here in Idyllwild we have you covered, and you don't need to worry about a thing. More adventurous travelers will also love the proximity to the Suicide Rock trailhead and Tahquitz Rock for hiking and rock climbing.

Everyone in your group will want to spend their time in the living room, curled up on one of two couches as the fire crackles merrily from the wood-burning fireplace. During the day, you'll love looking out the large, floor-to-ceiling windows at the trees, reading a book or watching a show on the flatscreen. The TV also has a DVD player, so remind the kids to bring their favorites from home! If they forget, there's a selection of movies provided for your use.

Calling all aspiring chefs! If you love to cook, the fully equipped kitchen is the perfect place for you to prepare and enjoy a delectable meal. Complete with modern appliances, cookware, and a small dining table when it's time to eat, you'll be more than comfortable dining here.

At bedtime, you'll have your choice between two spacious bedrooms, each with intricate wood detailing and a queen-size bed, and one master with a queen-size bed, an en suite bathroom with a jetted tub, and private deck access. There is also one more full bathroom for your use. A double futon right in the living room is also available to sleep a couple more guests, for a total of eight. Dogs are also welcome to come along for an additional nightly pet fee.

Worried about missing out on work back home? Bring your laptop along, connect to the free WiFi, and never miss a thing! You'll have so many amenities here to make sure you're comfortable and feeling right at home, from the WiFi and cable to keep you connected to the washer/dryer to ensure your things are nice and clean. You'll even have a library of books and selection of games to choose from.

In the summertime, step outside to the deck where you'll find a dining table, your very own gas grill, and gorgeous views of the surrounding forests. You'll love spending time out here, enjoying your meal in the great outdoors or reading a book as you breathe in the fresh mountain air.

In Idyllwild, Shakespeare fans will love checking out 'Will in the Woods,' an annual production each fall which features selections from the Bard's plays and sonnets. Besides this famous festival, there is also an annual international film festival and plenty more arts-focused events throughout the year.

If you're less about the arts and more about exploring the great outdoors, Idyllwild has that too! Climb over rugged landscapes, doing your best 'Wild' impression as you hike part of the infamous Pacific Crest Trail, or play it safer and explore one of the many trails and rock climbing sites closer to your home away from home.

Cabin with potential but some key misses
While the cabin has a lot of good things going for it - good mountain and forest views, big windows, wrap-around deck, it has a few comfort, repair and appearance issues that impact the overall stay experience.

Great spring break with teens
I took 4 teens and our older dog to stay here for two nights. The cabin was easy to find and lovely. The rooms and bathrooms were nice as was the kitchen. I LOVED the wrap around porch! We were able to play games and have a fire in the cozy living room. It was a perfect escape. I saw in other reviews that dogs struggled with the stairs, but we did not have that issue. I also saw on other reviews that the front stairs are difficult for some to navigate and I don’t think there’s a photo that really shows the walk from the car to the front door. I will say we were surprised at the steps as the cabin sits high above the road, but we didn’t find them to be an issue to climb. The views from the cabin, deck, fireplace, and grill outside were all very appreciated. Overall this was a great place for our group and we would definitely recommend it!

Beautiful, but… not family friendly!
It’s a great place to stay with a group of people or younger family members. Beautiful views, great location. Little kids or older family members, not friendly. The stairs to the house are steep and slick. After those stairs you have a narrow, very vertical stair case to the the kitchen. Great property otherwise. Owner left a wonderful binder with seriously great information/instructions, we used it several times.

Dream cabin
The cabin is a dream and has a good, cozy feel. Everything worked. The cabin was very clean, the layout is great, plenty of space. The zero plastic amenities was nice touch. We enjoyed the view to the mountain tops, trees surrounding the cabin, the deck with teak furniture, the quiet location, walking distance to trails, simply everything was so wonderful.
