Description

A15 minute walk to town, The Wren's Nest is a quaint, cozy cabin built in 1949 that has been updated retaining so much of its original charm! This mountain home is set amid towering pines with landscaped grounds, inviting front porch with view of Lily Rock while dining al fresco, a back deck, dog run and features newer bathrooms and kitchen plus so many other luxurious little touches throughout. Tongue and groove walls, original hardwood floors, rock fireplace and skylight highlight the Living Room. Cook up a storm in the retro kitchen with top of the line appliances, dishwasher, washer/dryer closet and sunny breakfast area. Mornings were made to curl up out on the deck on the cozy outdoor sectional with a cup of coffee, watching the jays, squirrels and rabbits which frequent the property or enjoy a short stroll to Idyology, Cafe Aroma, or down the hill into town. There is a huge, fenced back yard with fruit trees, butterfly bushes and lilacs. The primary bedroom is oversized with dramatic 3/4 bath. A charming full bath in the hall services the guest bedroom. Successful Airbnb vacation rental managed by Woodland Park-summer guests are allowed to use the pool and cookout facilities.

    "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."

    "Good luck finding people to rent to you if you have a dog for a town that has a dog for a mayor it doesn’t like dogs. You need them too. Cause there is a bunch of wild life around you might need help to protect from "

    "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!"
