Description
Some cabins spend years trying to recreate this feeling. This one never lost it. Built in 1957 and thoughtfully maintained over the decades, this 2 bedroom, 1 bath mountain retreat captures the warmth and authenticity that first drew people to Idyllwild. Vaulted wood ceilings, rich knotty pine walls, original built-ins, and a classic split-face brick fireplace with a full-width mantel create inviting living spaces filled with vintage character and mountain charm. The efficient 816 sq. ft. floor plan lives larger than expected, with an open living and dining area that flows seamlessly to a spacious deck completed just one year ago. The kitchen retains its original personality while offering everyday functionality, and quality dual-pane windows throughout provide comfort and energy efficiency. Recent improvements include a new electrical panel, Generac whole-house generator, and extensive deck replacement. Set on a .30-acre parcel in Idyllwild's desirable Banana Belt, the property enjoys sunnier winter weather, lower snow accumulation, usable grounds, and a one-car carport. This cabin has genuine soul and timeless appeal.
