ABOUT THIS CABIN

Welcome to Black Mountain, your dreamy hideaway nestled in the heart of Idyllwild, California. This cabin was inspired by the mesmerizing night sky, reflecting deep blues and rustic browns throughout the space, creating a unique vibe that’s hard to forget.

As you walk in, you’ll be greeted by a spacious living area with a cozy stove and smart TV for those lazy evenings. The views from here are stunning – it’s like having nature’s best artwork on constant display.

You’ll find a comfortable king-size bed waiting to lull you into a peaceful sleep. Imagine waking up to the soft chirping of hummingbirds – it’s pure magic.

When hunger strikes, the open-concept kitchen is ready for action. It has everything you need to whip up your favorite meals. And meal times become a cozy, intimate affair with the counter seating for two.

Your personal spa awaits in the bathroom, adorned with soothing teal tiles that add a refreshing pop of color. It’s the perfect place to refresh and rejuvenate after a day of mountain hikes.

A true highlight is the private deck. Here, you can soak in your hot tub while enjoying the calming sights and sounds of Strawberry Creek and the surrounding forest. Whether starting your day with a hot cup of coffee or ending it with a glass of wine, this spot is perfection.

At Black Mountain, you’re not just staying in a cabin – you’re stepping into a story that’s all yours. Book your stay and start creating your mountain memories today.

“ Great place to stay! Walkable to main Idyllwild restaurants which meant we didn't have to worry about parking. Cabin was very clean and just like the pictures. Hot tub was very nice after day of exploring. "

“ Wow...I was considering between this location and something a little more out of town. So glad I went with Erics spot as some night we could even just walk right across the street to find some amazing food. It's an incredible mix between feeling private but also in the heart of the town. The hottub felt private and the view was incredible. Will definitely book again if I come back in the summer time. "

“ My fiancé and I had a wonderful stay at this air b n b! It’s very close to the main town of Idyllwild, but super peaceful and serene. You can hear the stream right outside from the deck which was a wonderful sound to listen to while drinking coffee in the morning. The hot tub was perfect to sit in at night and look at the mountains and stars at night. Very clean and cozy, would highly recommend. Eric and Jasper were very friendly and communicative, making sure we had everything we needed and had a very positive experience. "

“ The Airbnb was exactly as described and had everything we could've needed or wanted. The bath robes were a great touch, and the bed was so comfortable and cozy. It was so nice to have a private deck and hot tub. We loved walking around town and exploring the creek. The only addition that would've been nice was a couch blanket! "
