Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Past Guests:

“Cute little house just a few minutes drive from downtown Idyllwild. Very quiet and relaxing.” - Billy

“This place is perfect for a getaway! Not only is the home very cool, hip and beautiful...but the private environment is also top-notch.” - Patrick

“Wonderful view from the porch and close to town and great hikes. Super comfy and cozy inside. Highly recommend.” - James

☆☆ BEDROOMS ☆☆
Each of the cabin’s two bedrooms are furnished with comfortable, brand-new queen-sized beds, luxurious bedding, blackout blinds, and a mini-split system providing instant access to heat and air conditioning. Will you choose the downstairs bedroom with easy access to the wine fridge or the upper-level bedroom for a more lofty experience? Both bedrooms offer beautiful wood paneling that brings the feeling of nature indoors.

☆☆ BATHROOM ☆☆
The modern bathroom features sleek gray accents, a tile backsplash, and is outfitted with a rainfall overhead shower, a sink, a toilet, and other amenities. Don’t worry about packing towels, we’ve got you covered so you can pack light!

☆☆ KITCHEN ☆☆
The full kitchen is sure to please the chef of your group. The Cuisinart Air Fryer/Toaster/Convection oven can handle all of your needs! Combine this workhorse with our Instant Pot and Traeger wood pellet BBQ out back, and you'll be unstoppable when it comes to preparing delicious meals during your stay.

The cabin also has a refrigerator, small 2-burner ceramic cooktop, Pod coffee maker, and microwave oven. The cupboards are stocked with all of the kitchen gadgets you’ll need. Or be LAZY and pick up from the incredible Idyllwild restaurants listed in our welcome binder. Just don't forget to use the wine fridge while you are at it!

You can enjoy your meals at the kitchen counter (seating for two), the kitchen table (seating for four), or head outside to the outdoor dining area (seating for four) to eat while taking in the fantastic greenery views.

☆☆ LOUNGE ☆☆
The open floor plan of the main level makes it easy to hang out as a group between the kitchen and living room area. As the designated chef of your group whips up meals, you can sit back and relax on the comfy sofa and stream your favorite shows on the flat-screen TV or watch one of the beautiful sunsets from the deck.

The living room faces west, which allows you to see spectacular sunset views from the comfort of the sectional sofa. Admire the beautiful reflections or light dancing off the original stained glass window above and let the serenity of being surrounded by the forest soak in.

There is also a DVD player and blackout blinds to set the mood if you need darkness. You can use the high-speed WiFi to stream music through the Bluetooth sound bar or get some work done. Feel free to stream movies through the Lazy-A Netflix account on the 50-inch LCD TV. If you’re here only for relaxation and good times, we have an extensive collection of board games to enjoy.



The living room can be heated by the centrally located wood-burning stove and augmented by mini-split air-condition units in each bedroom if needed to take the edge off those frosty winter mornings and evenings.

☆☆ OUTDOOR SPACE ☆☆
The perfect mountain getaway wouldn’t be complete without an epic outdoor area. The newly revitalized back deck, front deck, and side deck feature incredible views, a private hot tub, an outdoor dining space, and cozy Adirondack chairs for enjoying your morning coffee or an evening glass of wine outdoors while listening to the birds chirp and the breeze rustling the leaves.

Fire up the Traeger wood pellet BBQ to cook the perfect meal and have a relaxing sway in the dual hammocks in the outdoor space. Don't forget you are in stargazing territory - we recommend downloading an app, sitting in the hot tub or on the back deck at night, and enjoying the constellations free of light pollution.

Lovely little spot. Difficult turn around and parking for Titan sized truck. If staying during cold weather bring your own firewood. Only a “starter” pack is provided (five logs for a 3 nite stay) but blankets provided were quality and warm. It’s a lovely little a-frame in the woods and a nice get away.

Loved everything about it!
Our stay at the Lazy A Frame was so great. Everything is well thought out, beautifully designed, and makes sense. It was great to be able to relax in the hot tub after a day of hiking (which still felt like new btw), or read on the balcony overlooking the forest in the morning light. We would stay here again for sure and would recommend it to friends and family for a great weekend getaway or extended stay.

Great getaway
An adorable and private little A Frame just about 10 minutes outside of Idyllwild. Everything was as listed and expected, and we appreciated the fire wood and bottle of rose and waters at check in. Highly recommended! (By the way - they are not joking about needing an appropriate vehicle to get down the private road. We had a 4WD crossover, so no issues, but a standard sedan could definitely not make the road even in the best of conditions. Luckily, there is a nearby paved road that is a short walk away, too.)

The Lazy A Frame is a beautiful little cabin with a cozy wood burning stove, a hot tub under the stars and an awesome back patio that makes you feel like you’re sitting up in the middle of the pines! I unfortunately had to cut my trip short, but am hoping to be back soon!!

Great A-frame in the mountains
We stayed 2 nights in the lazy A. Cool location tucked away in the hills. Feels very secluded. We really enjoyed the jacuzzi and the record player. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
