Get out of the city and head to the beautiful country from this Idyllwild vacation rental. Located west of Highway 243, the home sits in a secluded wooded area with plenty of undisturbed nature outside your doors. If you're looking for more action, just a mile north lies Idyllwild's town center, with eclectic gift shops, quaint cafes, and entertainment venues. Wake up refreshed and ready for new adventures, including a day of bombing down local singletrack on a guided mountain bike tour with The Hub Cyclery. Some guests may prefer learning about the area's ecology and natural history at the Idyllwild Nature Center two miles north or trekking through wilderness on the Mt. San Jacinto Summit Trail, which begins 11 miles north. There are also fun live music performances and stand-up comedy shows at the Rustic Theater one mile up the road, and a variety of watersports, such as fishing, kayaking, boating, and stand-up paddle boarding, are only eight miles south at Lake Hemet. If you're in the mood for a day trip, drive 22 miles west to Hemet for museums, shopping, and other attractions in the heart of San Jacinto County. Kids will love playing in interactive exhibits at the Fingerprints Youth Museum, and the whole family will adore learning about dinosaurs that once roamed in the area at the Western Science Center. You could also catch a performing arts show at the Ramona Bowl Amphitheater, rent a boat and explore Diamond Valley Lake, or hike, bike, and trek even more nature trails around the town.

This home exudes plenty of cabin character with a wraparound outdoor deck, knotty pine walls and cabinets, high ceilings, forest-themed decor, and even a free-standing fireplace. Start a fire in the living room's fireplace and settle into the couch, a rocking chair or a comfy recliner to enjoy a DVD while the fire warms the room. You could also use the home's WiFi to plan your next hike in the San Jacinto wilderness, freshen your clothes in the washer/dryer, or take a relaxing soak in the private hot tub.

When you get hungry, head into the kitchen to whip up a feast using modern appliances and a variety of cookware. Share meals at the dining table, or dine alfresco on the wraparound deck at a glass-top table. As you dine, take in the gorgeous mountain views, then play a fun game in the horseshoe pit.

Retire for a restful slumber after a full day of mountain activities. Additional sleeping space is provided on one futon and one extra mattress. Warm and cozy with quilted bedding, carpeted floors, shaded windows, and nightstands with reading lamps, the bedrooms will deliver a great night's sleep to all vacationers.

Cozy but outdated
The beds were very clean and comfortable. A couple of small updates could be made, such as providing cushions for the outdoor chairs, cleaning the outdoor table, providing firewood, and providing coffee. Otherwise it was a great spot and very close to town.

Cute and Quiet
Super cute cabin, nice and rustic (and nostalgic!) We enjoyed the hot tub after our adventures in Idyllwild, and the fully stocked kitchen was very appreciated. This is a great place to stay if you want a little place close to shops and trails. We'll definitely be back!

Idyllwild
A beautiful location, a charming older home, and a lovely deck. Very quiet at night, and great walks in the area. But as per some previous reviews, several things could be addressed. There are no cushions for the iron deck furniture, which make it very uncomfortable out there. In the kitchen, there are only five spoons, no teakettle, and not many cups. But the house was cool, with windows open, and the bedrooms were great.

Bears Din in the Summer
uncomfortable for the summer months. No cold air. The fans just circulate the warm air. Cute home but could use some window air units if using during the summer. The house itself is cute. Just lacking some extra amenities for those hot summer days.

Cozy Cabin
Upon walking in, this cabin is as cozy as it gets! Wood burning fireplace, beautiful mountain decor, very clean, and has all the necessities for a pleasant stay. I especially enjoyed the complimentary eco friendly toiletries. Super close to town and convenient for dog owners!

Great Cabin!
The Bear's Den was a great little place to stay in Idyllwild. The cabin was clean and very comfortable. The cabin was well heated with three furnaces. It was very close to town and to the hiking trails, and the hot tub was clean and warm. We will definitely stay here again!

A great place to stay
The place overall is as bigger than I had thought, cozy, and in a great location. I did have a few hiccups with the cleanliness and the missing cushions on the outdoor chairs. Thankfully the property management was very good with communication and helped fix the problem. I would definitely recommend to stay at this mountain home!

House was fine, there are better options
The house was clean, beds were clean, etc. but everything is so so so outdated. Small upgrades are really needed here. If you plan to cook, bring your own seasonings. Bring your own coffee or plan to buy some. Bring your own ice. The hot tub was clean and comfortable, but overall we would not stay here again. The location was close to the square so that was convenient and very close to Inspiration Point where we caught an incredible sunset, but there are better options in Idyllwild.

All good, could have had some cleaner walls, but PLENTY of bath towels and spa towels. Good toiletries, more than adequate kitchen wares. Will stay again. P.S. sorry we didn't wash the sheets but we did wash the towels.

Nice and Cozy but...
You must bring all the necessary essentials like foil, extra napkins seasonings, etc. there were very minimal pans to use so if your bringing anything for the oven there were no pans. make.sure jacuzzi works.and let them know right away as they take long to respond. we had no access to jacuzzi as breaker went out, we had to wait 2 days for them to fix when trying to chat with someone for issue it takes so long if it's sms.

Our visit to the Bear Den
Overall, we enjoyed our visit. The cabin is rustic and a bit worn but clean and comfortable. Beds were great! A couple of negatives. The weather was perfect for sitting on the rear deck but could not do so as there were no chair cushions. Also, a dinky 30 inch tv in this age when you can buy a 50 inch smart tv for under $300 and a 40 inch for under $200!! Also, some written instructions on accessing the available tv programming would be helpful.

The property is nice. The area is amazing! Cleanliness wasn't quite to our expectations, but I will admit to being a clean freak. Spa cover ripped when we opened it. no WIFI/internet, thank you for the refund. The cabin amenities advertised are in need of upgrades. Overall, the atmosphere of the cabin made us relax from our daily stressful lives. Thank you for that! Knowing what to expect from this property we would stay again.

This cabin was pretty nice, comfortable beds and plenty of room. The couch, however, was completely coated in dog hair, and there weren't quite enough quilts and blankets to keep everyone warm. The managers also failed to notify us of a planned power outage Saturday night. Despite all this, I would stay here again (provided the dog hair issue is dealt with), as it was quite spacious, with a nice kitchen and comfortable beds, and the price was excellent.
