On Valentine's Day, February 14, 2019, heavy rains poured down across the Inland Empire, causing closures to numerous roads. The two biggest road closures were CA-74 coming out of Hemet and CA-243 coming up from Banning. The news has really dramatized many into thinking that Idyllwild and Pine Cove were inaccessible and cut off, and that simply is not true.

We've added a new feature to our Booking Engine (where you book a cabin). At any time, a site visiter can click any number of CHECK AVAILABILITY buttons throughout the site. The first panel that is displayed is requesting the minimum requirements, such as the days desired for a rental, followed by the number of guests.
NOW WITH FILTERED RESULTS
The next screen will show you all of the available units, each in their own box. At the right, there are a number of check boxes that will allow you to refine your search, so that you can search for only cabins that meet the days wanted, but also include a hot tub, wood burning stove, WiFi and is Pet Friendly. You list will update in real time.

Once you have clicked the "Check Availability" button, this will not lead directly to that specific cabin's availability page, but rather, it will allow you to see what is available amount all cabins given the desired dates and number of guests.
Initial Check Availability Booking Page
Once you have entered the desired dates and the number of guests, you will be presented with all of the cabins that fit those settings. Scan down to find the cabin name you had initially desired. In the near future, we will jump directly to that cabins availability, so please be patient. Additionally, we will have options what will allow you check boxes for cabins with Hot Tubs, Pet Friendly, WiFi, Views and Creeks. Only those cabins that fit those settings will be shown.

In late July, a fire, which became known as the Cranston Fire, broke out lower on the mountain along side State Highway 74. As the fire quickly spread up the mountain, authorities ordered an evacuation of over 4,000 homes in Idyllwild, Pine-Cove, Lake Hemet area and Mountain Center Community. Additionally, State Hwy 74 was also shut down. We moved our operation offsite and began calling vacationers to cancel their reservations until the fire was no longer a risk and was under control. We did what any responsible company would do and refunded vacationers the funds that they had already put out. Of course, this is a major financial lost for us and the cabin owners, but it had to be done.
Luckily, the fire fighters got the Cranston Fire under control and Idyllwild and Pine Cove were saved and virtually untouched. Much of this had to do with the quick action of our First Responders and our Fire Fighters. Additionally, Fire Authorities avoiding what could have been a major disaster by warning home owners to clear dry brush around their properties and the removal of thousands of dead and dying trees in previous years. Those efforts saved Idyllwild and Pine Cove.
In the following weeks, as Idyllwild began to normalize, we started hearing about vacationers who did not get their vacation funds returned, with some vacation rental firms saying that they were not responsible for "Acts of God". While those firms profited from their action, the backlash was swift, when a rash of poor reviews popping up online that last for years. We were really surprised that any company would treat their customers in such a manner.
We at Idyllwild Vacation Cabins firmly believe that if you take care of our vacationers, everyone benefits in the long run. We know that those vacationers will return, year after year. It's no wonder that Idyllwild Vacation Cabins has more 5 Star Reviews than any other rental agency.
