Cabin vacation rentals in Winchester

We had a wonderful stay at this very cute, charming, and peaceful cabin nestled in the heart of Idyllwild. The location was perfect — just a short walk to town, yet it still felt tucked away and off the grid, offering plenty of peace and quiet. The cabin was cozy and thoughtfully decorated, with all the comforts we needed for a relaxing mountain getaway. We especially loved how close it was to some of the best hiking trails in the area, making it easy to explore the outdoors without much driving. Whether you're looking to unwind or adventure, this cabin strikes the perfect balance. We would absolutely book again!

I would definitely recommend this place and would gladly stay again. The host was amazing, and the cabin was beautiful, clean, well-maintained, and very comfortable. I felt completely safe throughout my stay. Thank you!

Jill’s Wander Wild cabin was everything we were hoping for and more. It was fully stocked, and quiet and only minutes from town. The hot tub was wonderful, the bed was comfy and we absolutely loved listening to nature on the deck and drinking coffee in the mornings. We did a puzzle, listened to some music and just enjoyed the surroundings while we fell in love with the town. We will certainly be back if she’ll have us!

Jeff’s cabin was very peaceful, clean, and enjoyable. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay again. Jeff was very responsive and kind. Thanks for our stay Jeff!

Fantastic getaway in the mountains, next to a babbling brook, with everything you could want. Just a quick trip down to the village but far enough away that it was super quiet. I'd been dreaming of an A frame with giant windows and a patio overlooking the trees and this was exactly it. That, plus the bonus of a cozy place to watch movies and hang out inside. It was my first trip to Idyllwild and I hope to come back again to stay here.

Five stars! Heather was a very friendly and responsive communicator, we loved the cabin, it's amenities, and how close it is to Idyllwild town center. sitting in the hot tub staring at stars was such a dreamy summer moment. Accomodated 6 adults very well. Grateful for our awesome getaway!

My husband and I just spent a fantastic Father's Day weekend at Lauren's house. The home is charming, decorated with comfort in mind and has all the extra details that really make a vacation home special. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is well-stocked, including welcome treats, and while we didn't have little ones, there's plenty for them to do, such as games, painting, and books. For adults, there are other games, a hot tub and a great little downtown area with shops and restaurants not far away. It was so peaceful and the weather was great while we were there. Our dogs loved the fenced-in area and wandering on a leash on the unfenced part of the grounds. Lauren, the host, was very responsive and flexible with checkout. I highly recommend and hope to return!

Just a short trip with our two young daughters ages 5 and 3. At first glance this listing seemed only perfect for dogs. But after a closer look, totally perfect for toddlers too, the fence gave it a sense of security for sure. We all enjoyed the jacuzzi day and night. The house is beautiful, but you're not worried about your kids messing things up. the host makes it very inviting and a cozy feel of being at home. If it this beautiful in the summer, I can't imagine what is looks like in the winter! See you soon!

Perfect weekend getaway in the mountains! This 2 bed / 2 bath home was perfect for our little family (2 adults, 10 month old & 2 dogs). Downstairs- 1 bdr, 1 bathroom, kitchen, dining & living, sliding door to patio. Upstairs - 1 bdr(no door), 1 bathroom. We brought our own pack&play crib (but we noticed this Airbnb has one too!) & set it up in the downstairs bdr. Note: we also brought our own portable blackout curtains which were much needed. The downstairs bathroom has a tub. Upstairs- the bdr doesn’t have a door but there’s a short mesh safety gate which is perfect for dogs & babies. The kitchen was well-stocked for cooking. Really appreciated the secure dog run for our dogs! They had no problem going potty out there. Also something to note: there’s a lot of noise outside the house including roosters, woodpeckers that peck at windows, birds and other animals that land on the roof. If you’re sensitive to noise, bring earplugs. Overall the home was clean & organized.

Great place to stay! It’s close by hiking trails and close to town. Would recommend this location to anyone visiting Idyllwild.

We had such a wonderful stay at the Wavy Pines cabin. We were so happy to find a pet-friendly home that we could bring our whippet to share the fun with. Our dog had a blast going up and down the stairs and exploring all the smells outside and experiencing his first snow! The neighborhood was so serene and quiet, we felt so relaxed and it was an easy, short walk to a national forest trail that our dog also enjoyed very much. The town is only a few mins drive away which had restaurants and grocery stores so we were short of nothing during our stay. We look forward to staying again during our next trip to Idyllwild someday!

Arriving here was like walking into your home. It was immediately inviting, comfortable and clean. Nathan was quick to respond when I asked about bringing our two cats and he was more than happy to host them. I originally picked his cabin for the fenced in yard, but the tree top deck ended up being phenomenal! Myself, my husband and both cats spent the entire weekend on that deck enjoying the quiet and watching all the wildlife. We are already planning to stay here again and will be staying even longer next time!

Great cabin and location. We felt right at home. Really enjoyed the weekend and this place! Easy to communicate with the host as well.

People were not kidding in their reviews. This place is so peaceful and so lovely, so organized, and just like eeeeeveryone else said- that bed. It is heaven. Will def be staying here again.

Kate was a wonderful host! Quick and smooth communication, and beautiful home close to town and hikes. Highly recommend!

This was a wonderful stay! Stayed here for our Anniversary, and it could not have been more perfect! The space was really well maintained, and clean! Monica provided a lot recommendations of activities for the weekend stay! When up to Palomar Observatory and took a tour, did a couple of hikes near the state park which were gorgeous!! 10/10 best recommendation by far!! We took the Weir trail all the way down to the little creek and found a nice and shady spot to sit have a little picnic. Spent one night going down to Temecula and had dinner at Baily’s for our anniversary dinner. A fun and friendly dining spot, really friendly staff, with live music. Overall stay was great! Would definitely recommend and stay here again!!

Vanessa and John's cabin in Idyllwild is an amazing getaway. The views are spectacular. Our first night it was raining which created the conditions for one of the best sunsets I have ever seen. My seven year old daughter referred to it as the house above the clouds. The place was well stocked, everything was well organized and clear. Place was spotless and town was just a short drive away. The only thing I will say is that it is right next to the road which does get some traffic, so not as isolated as it appears in the photos. But that is well worth the stay. Would definitely stay here again.

Staying at John and Lara’s cabin in Idyllwild felt like stepping into a movie—cinematic, well-curated touches, dreamy natural lighting, and deeply peaceful energy. Tucked away in the trees with minimal neighboring homes in sight, it offered privacy and stunning forest views and distant mountain ridges from nearly every window. Plenty of squirrel and bird friends to watch! The kitchen has a cozy, homey farmhouse feeling, while the living room has a pioneer charm with all the modern comforts. It felt like a true escape—quiet, serene, and full of soul, and yet walking distance to Idyllwild’s town center. We slept like babies and didn’t want to leave. I honestly wish I could buy this place. Would absolutely love to return one day.

Marisa and her team are very attentive to detail, conscientious, and offer a lovely getaway if you are in need of some R&R. Very convenient to the town of Idyllwild, and all the great nature attractions in the area.

Had an excellent city escape again up in Idyllwild. The large fenced in backyard was a major bonus and the dogs loved it! This is not my first stay in one of Melissa's idyllwild homes and im sure i will be back again! This definitely hit the spot for what i needed for my get away.

Aradi’s place was cozy and comfortable. The house was clean and fully stocked, with good space. The beds were very comfy and the towels were lovely and fluffy. We had a little ladies getaway and loved sitting outside on the Adirondack chairs and on the deck with our cheese and wine. Aradi messaged back promptly when I had questions before checkin. It was peaceful and quiet and I would totally stay here again!

The house is lovely, we especially enjoyed the trees and how calm and secluded it felt. The house is smartly furnished, with an intelligent and elegant attention to decoration and detail. The screened windows and doors on the upper level allowed us to be comfortable even though the weather was warm during our stay, and the downstairs bedrooms were cozy. The only real challenge with the property is that you have to carry everything up a long steep set of stairs. If you have packed heavy suitcases, or are brining food in a cooler, bear this in mind. We didn't have any problems with this, but it was a bit of a chore when we loading and unloading the car. The host makes this very clear in the listing, and we loved the place. In practice, the stairs are part of what allows the house feels so pleasantly secluded. Our visit was in June and we are definitely of a mind to visit again, perhaps during the winter when we could enjoy having a fire in the wood-burning stove.

We had an awesome weekend. The cabin was very clean and it was very peaceful. It was wonderful to find a place that had a fenced in yard for the pups to run around. We cooked most meals there and the kitchen was well equipped. Thank you for sharing!

Astrid was friendly and communicative and let us check in earlier which was really appreciated! Her place actually looked better than the photos and was a lovely rustic retreat. Close to town. My only regret was not utilizing the hot tub but it was scorching temps the weekend we went!
