Welcome to the mile high mountain town of Idyllwild nestled in the San Jacinto mountains This is an idyllic getaway in Idyllwild just 5 minutes from the town's restaurants and shopping. Multiple levels of outdoor patio space wrap the home to maximize viewpoints from every direction. This Two bedroom two bath is tucked back in the woods along a quaint babbling brook (created and restored by renowned local artist Star Gioli) where if lucky you may just catch some wildlife, taking a sip or cooling off Thoughtfully restored with careful design consideration of decor. The home is the essence of a mountain cabin. The kitchen has an open layout with breathtaking views from the eating area while the view centric living room keeps you warm with a cast-iron stove and heated main floor flooring on those winter days where there may be a snowfall in this mile high city. The bathrooms are upgraded to modern taste yet with a cozy vibe and the bedrooms are wrapped in nature themed wallpaper. It all completes a beautiful aesthetic in this mountain cabin. This is a perfect getaway, with potential for a thriving vacation rental, scenic, comfortable, and well maintained. Idyllwild is calling and this Home has all the answers.
