Description

This cozy 1959 2 Bdrm/1.75Bth cabin has evolved over the years, yet still greets you with its warm mountain charm, including interior knotty siding, original rock fireplace, several skylights + bright wrap-around kitchen. The two bedrooms, found on opposite ends of the cabin, have air-tight wood stoves with lots of windows to enjoy the surrounding trees. Sit on the back deck and watch the sun rise or the light of the full moon coming over the mountain ridge. Seller has continued to enhance the cabin, including adding new sliding glass door to back deck, dual-glazed windows + shower in main bedroom. Big pluses are easy handicap access, bordering two streets with multiple parking areas, original outhouse converted to a tool shed, completely fenced property, an open back yard that's filled with meandering paths and flowering fruit trees, and an easy stroll to town. This is move-in ready, as it comes fully furnished, including appliances and kitchen ware. Looking for the perfect cozy cabin, close to town? Look no further, as here it is!

    "There are many dog-friendly people in the neighborhood, and there are great trails and hiking areas where leashed dogs are welcome; however not all dogs in idyllwild are socialized, and there are not many enclosed public spaces where dogs can safely play together off-leash."

    "It’s a very small village of About 1,800 full time residents. It’s a resort mountain town with no skiing. It’s known for rock climbing & hiking. Perched above the low desert of Palm Desert people escape here from the high heat there. No fast food and Mom and pop shops. Dogs as Mayors for the village. It’s like living back when everyone knew your name, kids could ride their bikes, and they were safe. It’s a secret, not many people even know we are up here. So shhh we like it that way! It’s Magical!"
