White Horse Cabin

Idyllwild, California

White Horse Cabin is an awesome, close-by getaway, perfect for 2-6 people. And if you're lucky enough to own horses, we can ccommodate them too. Unlike most local cabins, we offer over a half acre to spread out, set back nicely from the road for extra privacy, with the grounds including facilities for up to 6 horses. A classic mountain A-frame with modern appointments, White Horse Cabin is a short 1 mile from the center of charming downtown Idyllwild. This quaint mountain village sits at 5,000 ft elevation between Palm Springs and Temecula. This exceptional private residence is lovingly cared for by its owners, giving guests an immediate feeling of "home" rather than "rental." Enjoy your quiet mountain retreat amongst towering pines and fragrant cedars, listening to Strawberry Creek rushing outside your back door...or visit the village with its shops, restaurants, theater, and numerous special events and art venues.

The cabin offers an abundance of windows and four large sliding doors beckon you to take in the fantastic forest and Strawberry Creek views. Close the drapes, and the fireplace, with its huge rock hearth, dominates the view and quickly warms the cabin. Two large skylights provide a feeling of warm sunshine and moonlight at night.

Your "back yard" starts with a huge deck overlooking Strawberry Creek. Step down off the deck and follow a few short steps down to a rustic outdoor creek-side seating area - a perfect place to enjoy an evening glass of wine or just listen to the rushing water.  The home has a great sense of spaciousness and room to spread out. A very "far away" feeling, but very close to town - a great combination!

Your Stay at White Horse Cabin includes the following accommodations for your horses: A large 110' x 70' flat paddock, shaded by large cedar trees, with soft forest floor footing. Inside the paddock are two 12 x 16 pipe stalls and one 16 x 30 pipe stall that adjoins the three-sided barn/shelter; this allows for complete separation of 4 horses (3 in stalls, one in paddock) with a maximum of 6 allowed on property; all stalls turn out into the paddock, which also has two large double gates on either side to facilitate pull-through of trailers.

Water and power are available at stalls/barn. Three sided barn shelter allows for feeding/shelter out of the weather; three tie-up rails adjacent to paddock for easy tack-up. Room in barn to store extra feed. Horses are visible right outside front windows of cabin.

Trail access is an easy 1.5 mile trailer ride up to Humber Park and the higher elevations, or if you prefer to ride quiet blacktop streets and lower elevations, you can access the Ernie Maxwell trail in about 1.5 miles. This connects to the entire Idyllwild trail system and into Garner Valley and McCall's Horse Camp. The town of Idyllwild is completely surrounded by National Forest, County, and State Park trails.

Starting at $155 per day (minimum 2 day stay required)
