Idyllwild, California is a sleepy mountain town near Palm Springs. It’s slow-paced, part hippie, and fully charming. Lately, great design has been making its way to this high altitude village and plenty of Los Angeles-based creatives are turning this hotspot into their mountain getaway. Take a look at some of the super cool Airbnbs that are springing up around town.

THE OWL PINE
This 100 year old cabin boasts an incredible stone fireplace and antique details rarely found in nearby Airbnbs. They’ve made the old feel completely new in a style that incorporates darker tones, uncommon patterns and vintage details. This a definitely a breath of fresh air when is comes to contemporary design - which isn’t an easy thing to do. Viva la cozy!
THE PATRICIAN
This two-person Airbnb is not only extremely affordable, it’s dreamy beyond belief. The color palette of soft grays and peaches leads you out to your own private patio under the pines. Rarely do mountain getaways feel so airy and light, and this one has us in the clouds for sure.

GLAMP IDY
If they consider this gorgeous little cabin (with its own freestanding fireplace) glamping, then they’ve reinvented the entire genre. This adorable place in town is not only extremely budget-friendly, but they’ve maximized the use of the space in the most charming way. Plus, they’re connected to the Idyllwild Brewery, so you get free beers with your stay. Cheers to that!

MOUNTAIN MODERN
Hygge-hygge! Who doesn’t love a good A-Frame? This wood-paneled mountain home is a refreshing mix of mountain and boho that really takes A-frame style to the next level. With three beds and two baths, you can get all your friends together and live out your Sunset magazine fantasies for the weekend. Plus, the huge deck juts out under the trees for some dreamy night sky watching.

THE BOULDER LODGE
How much admission would you pay just to sit by the fireplace? Uh, yeah. Built into an actual boulder, this home combines a little southwest style with clean modern pieces. We’re into it. Soooo into it.
