About this property

The Banana Belt Bungalow (air-conditioning! - 4WD/AWD required)

Note for Summer: Bungalow has Mini Split Air-Conditioner!

Charming, rustic guest house cabin has beautiful views of neighbouring mountains and the canyons and below. If you look at the map you'll see it is located on the edge of undeveloped, San Jacinto wilderness, which makes it the perfect, secluded and peaceful mountain getaway.

The Banana Belt Bungalow is on a shared property with another house, but has its own drive and private entrance. Feels very private and secluded, but still only a five minute drive from idyllic downtown Idyllwild.

The bungalow has a 3/4 bath, kitchenette with microwave, toaster oven and fridge, small two person table, three seater sofa, wood-burning stove fireplace, and a four poster queen-sized bed. There is also a mini split air conditioner and a television with an amazon fire stick.

The porch has two swinging hammock chairs.


****FULL DISCLOSURE****
There is a short section of an unmaintained dirt road just before you get to the property. During these now winter months there are a lot of times when 4wd or awd is necessary to make it all the way to the parking spot of the cabin. Please check weather and road conditions before booking.

Super convenient (and BEAUTIFUL) location
Check in was a breeze. Consistent communication with the owner made the whole stay hassle-free. You are less than 5 minutes from town, but nestled up in the hills with a gorgeous view of the mountains. The wood burning stove kept the cabin nice and warm. We will definitely be back!

Our trip was super fun and warm with the cool fire place. Everything was amazing except there was a half eaten sandwich or half of some type of food in the microwave when we got there.

Communicative Host
Jeff was very quick to respond with questions I had prior to booking our stay. Very friendly and nice! Cabin is cute and has a great view! Photos in the listing seem to be from a time when everything was/looked new in the cabin. Some items show heavy signs of wear and one of the chair swings on the porch was missing. Bummer for watching the sunset since the chairs looked so cute in the photos/listings. Nice place to stay if you want a view and don’t need all the bells and whistles.

Great solo getaway spot
Took some time to myself to recharge and unplug. Definitely had a good experience doing so here. Easy drive to the town for any supplies, great view from the porch, cozy space.

Perfect Location.
This spot is very ideal for those that wanna get away and enjoy something simple, but nice with a great view. Jeff was super quick to respond to any questions we had, and the check in process was very easy. The cabin is away from everything but super close to downtown which makes it ideal for those who either wanna be away, or spend the day in the city. The only knock I would say is the bed is a little rough, but other than that, everything else is perfect.

Great view, close to town
Located near the very end of the road, this property is quite secluded with the exception of two neighboring homes, but you hardly notice them. The view is 180 degrees facing south, including Santa Rosa mountains, Thomas mountain and Palomar mountain. We were here to hike, and it was perfect for us. The kitchenette is basic, fine for breakfast, lunch or a microwave dinner. We ate out every night, so it worked fine for us.

Awesome little spot! My band played a show in the area and 3 of us stayed here with our side kick dog Skid! We all loved the views and the stars at night. If you rent this place in the warmer months. You don’t need 4WD but an SUV or Truck would be best
