About This Home
Nestled amongst the pines, this charming mountain retreat is being offered for sale for the very first time! Set on an expansive 13,939 square-foot lot, this two-story cabin features 2 bedrooms, and 1.5 bathrooms. Situated high on the mountain amid crisp alpine air—at approximately 6,000-foot elevation—this classic A-frame cabin provides a true sense of solitude. The open, light-filled main level features a classic stone fireplace and large windows that frame the forest from every angle. Sliding glass doors open to a generous wraparound deck built for gatherings with family and friends. A convenient half-bath completes the main floor, while upstairs you'll find two comfortable bedrooms, a full bathroom, and private balcony perched amongst the treetops. Lovingly maintained over the years, recent improvements include a new deck and rear stairs (2014); updated flooring, carpet, toilets, vanities, and kitchen paint (2019); and a new roof (2021). Charming downtown Idyllwild is a short drive away, where you can discover quaint shops, galleries, and restaurants. Also close to fabulous hiking. Explore the San Jacinto trailheads, including the route up Mount San Jacinto—one of the famed “Six Pack of Peaks” hiking trails. For fishing and boating adventures, Lake Hemet is a jaunt away. Whether you're looking for weekend escapes or a long-term sanctuary to reconnect with nature, this is a rare opportunity to own a family cabin that has been cherished for generations.
