About This Home

The Little Red: A Storybook Cabin in Idyllwild1Bd + Loft | 1 Bath | 486 Sq Ft | .37 Acres | Built 1955 | Bunkhouse + Laundry | Whole-House Generator | Turnkey + Fully Furnished Don't let the square footage fool you. At 486 square feet, this mountain cabin delivers more life per square foot than most homes three times its size, and the .37-acre fully fenced lot -- over 16,000 square feet of mountain property -- gives you a backyard that punches well above its weight.The bones are original -- the cabin was built in 1955. The systems are new. A raised roof with fresh insulation installed just five years ago, updated electrical panel, an energy-efficient mini split for heating and cooling, and a wood-burning fireplace insert that turns a January snowstorm into the best night of the weekend. Inside, the main level is complete -- an open plan kitchen, dining, and living room flowing together, a bedroom tucked behind a barn door with a skylight overhead, and a full bath behind a second barn door. A loft sleeping area accessed by a ship's ladder sits above it all.Step outside and the property opens up. The deck is oversized by any measure, with multiple seating zones, a covered porch, and room to host a crowd. A hammock hangs between the pines, a treehouse deck sits elevated in the canopy, and there is more than enough room for dogs to run. This is a property built for people who want to live outside as much as in.Two additional outbuildings round out the compound: a converted bonus sleeping space and a dedicated laundry and washroom shed. A whole-house Generac generator means this property functions beautifully in every season, through every storm.Small by design. Extraordinary by every other measure. The Little Red is ready for whatever you have in mind.
