About This Property

Creekside Hideaway, where the character of 1926 Idyllwild meets understated mountain luxury. Set along the creek and tucked among the pines, this beautifully updated retreat offers the rare combination of a creek-front setting and an easy walk to town. Authentic cabin charm blends seamlessly with modern comforts, private outdoor spaces, and a rare detached guest bungalow. The 784-square-foot main cabin offers 2 bedrooms and 1 beautifully remodeled bath, with a warm, intimate feel that invites you to slow down and savor mountain living. The refreshed kitchen features new countertops, sink and faucet, stove, and dishwasher, while fresh interior paint, resealed and stained exterior logs, and new exterior doors enhance its timeless appeal. An upgraded 220V electrical panel, air conditioning, and washer/dryer bring contemporary convenience to this classic mountain setting. The separate 216-square-foot studio bungalow adds flexibility, with its own bathroom, kitchenette, new flooring, recessed lighting, and interior paint. Ideal for visiting family and friends, a creative studio, home office, or potential rental use, the bungalow also enjoys a private fenced yard. Outdoor living takes center stage with a newly replaced deck and covered outdoor area, perfect for morning coffee, long dinners, or cocktails beneath the pines. A separate spa/hot tub deck creates a private setting for unwinding under the stars. Fenced grounds, a repaved driveway, asphalt parking, wood shed, and tool shed add practicality. With its vintage soul, creek-front location, walk-to-town convenience, thoughtful updates, and beautifully curated outdoor spaces, Creekside Hideaway is a rare opportunity to experience Idyllwild at its most authentic--rustic, refined, private, and ready to enjoy.
