Camp Malarki 2 Cabins, Gated Yard, kids play area

Less than a half a mile away from Idyllwild's town center our very family friendly property will be a great place for your group to stay and explore the Idyllwild area. Our remodeled camping themed space consists of 2 cabins, 3 bedrooms, a loft play area for the kids with their own tv and play camping area, and a fully fenced in yard. You can pull into our driveway, close the gate and leave the car behind as you relax in our wooded yard and deck area or take the short walk into town.

Our cozy property has been recently remodeled and consists of two 1930's cabins. It is the perfect place for a small group to escape to the mountains while being close to the "action" in the town of Idyllwild. Vintage camping found items adorn the walls of our modernized cabins, so that you will have everything that present day humans require with the comforting nostalgia of years gone by.

You can rent our larger cabin, Tallulah, only if you don't need all the space. Here is a link to that listing:
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/876207718963849644?guests=1&adults=1&s=67&unique_share_id=52a28601-e3ea-4d0f-9f16-00ed89f6f348

We will never rent the cabins out separately at the same time, so if you choose to rent out the larger cabin only another group will not be able to rent out the small cabin during your stay. We do not rent out the small cabin on it's own.

Our main cabin's interior, has two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen with washer dryer, a large living area downstairs with a dining nook & reading areas and a two room lofted kid play area upstairs.
The smaller cabin has one bedroom, living room area, dining area, full bathroom with bathtub/shower combo and full kitchen.

Our bedrooms & bathrooms have smaller footprints as the cabin was built in 1931 and everything was smaller back then, however they are cozy and we think you will find that they are fully equipped with everything you should need for your stay. In our main cabin, we have window/wall air conditioning units in both bedrooms and central heat throughout the cabin. Right now, there is only A/C in the bedrooms. In the smaller cabin there is a minisplit unit in the living room area that provides a/c and heat and a wall heater in the bathroom as well.

In the main cabin, the master bedroom has a rustic king size bed with an ensuite bathroom, & jet tub/shower combo. There are blackout shades and charging stations for all of your modern day electronics, reading lamps as well as mood lighting, along with a small closet and luggage racks for your luggage. We have an a/c unit in the bedroom that can be controlled separately.

The master bedroom also has an ensuite full bathroom with jetted shower/tub combo.

In the main cabin, the 2nd bedroom has a bunk bed with a twin size bed on top and a queen size bed on the bottom. There are also black out shades, charging stations, reading lamps, a clothes hanging area and small luggage racks. there is also an a/c unit in this room that can be controlled separately from the other bedroom.

The 2nd bathroom has a tub/shower combo and both bathrooms come stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, linens and storage/cabinet & shelves.

The smaller cabin has one bedroom with king size bed, reading lamps, night stands, charging stations, room darkening shades and a wall heater. There is a small closet as well as a bench area for luggage, etc.

All of our bedrooms have TVs with Roku/firestick access to internet based streaming apps.


In the Main cabin, the kitchen is a galley style kitchen with access to our back deck area. It is fully equipped and stocked with all the equipment you should need. We have a drip coffee maker and keurig and will provide some coffee packets, creamer and sugar. We also usually have cooking oils, salt & pepper and basic spices. We have a propane BBQ for grilling on our back deck. There is a washer/dryer located at the far end of our kitchen. If you have any specific requests, please let me know and I will let you know if we have it available.

In the small cabin, there is another fully stocked kitchen with gas stove/oven combo, microwave, sink, refrigerator and coffee station which comes stocked with Keurig and some coffee supplies. There is not a dishwasher in the smaller cabin.

In the main cabin, the living area has a small sectional as well as a nook dining area, rocking chair, game/puzzle/book cabinet, cushioned reading area and a small sidebar area for extra storage. We have strong wifi and a large television with cable and Roku. You will need to log into your own profiles to use the internet streaming apps. We also have a stone wood burning fireplace at the center of our living space.

We have a very unique space in our loft upstairs which is stocked for fun and ready for the kids! Our unique, log-ladder-esque stairway leads to the upstairs area which has a bean bag and cushioned tv hangout area in the first room and a camping themed play area in the back room. The tv hangout area comes with a roku enabled tv and is ready for video game console hookups. The camping themed play area has a small tent, toy bins, faux lit campfire area with log shaped cushions, and a starry night sky projector with bluetooth speaker. **Please note that the upstairs has lower than normal ceilings. It's definitely meant for kids, as a lot of adults will not be able to stand up straight while walking up there.

The smaller cabin's living area consists of a small dining area, and small sectional couch that can be pulled up to make either a larger lounging area a small futon style bed. If you would like to use this as a bed, please be aware that it is rather hard, so it it may not be the most comfortable sleeping situation and probably best suited for kids.

Our entire yard (front & back) is fenced in so when you drive into our driveway, you can close the gate behind you and let the kids and dogs run free. We have a deck with dining area, propane grill, and Adirondack chairs off of our kitchen. There are also rocking chairs on our front deck and cornhole equipment available. Our backyard area is wooded and fairly large, although it is slightly sloped and un-landscaped. We have garden gnomes hidden around and it's a great place to setup scavenger hunts.

If you book through this listing, you will have access to the entire property and both of the cabins, Tallulah & Guilley. We won't ever have separate guest groups on the property at the same time, so the entire property is yours. Our "Camp Malarki" is named after my long time furry companion, Barki Malarki. The two cabins on the property are named after my mom's pups Tallulah & Guilley. The "Camp" is just one yard with two separate cabins on it. It's a fun inspired property so we wanted to name it something fun too!

The entire property is all yours, so I will not be present on the property at all during your stay. However, I can help you out as needed via phone and we have local contacts who can be available to help out as well if needed.

New Riverside County Regulations require that we collect a copy of your valid government ID, address, phone number, and sign that you are aware of your requirements as a the responsible renter for the property. We have a form that we will send you before your stay so that you can submit all of this information securely to us.

Additionally, we are required to have a noise monitoring device monitoring for excessive noise 24 hours a day. The device monitors noise on the exterior and interior of the property however it will not be recording anything, it will simply notify us if there is excessive noise so that we can contact you to rectify the situation before we become a nuisance to our neighbors.

This property is incredibly well done. Delightful decor - down to every detail. Very clean, modern cabins that are well stocked with dishes, coffee/tea, soaps/shampoo and linens. It seems very family friendly—including gated property that would allow little ones to explore the yard. A short walk into town. It was really a wonderful experience
