What is a Short-Term Rental?

A Short-Term Rental (STR) is any rental under 30 days. Traditionally in Idyllwild, they were long known as “Vacation Cabin Rentals” or “Vacation Home Rentals”. They’re all the same thing, just Short-Term Rental (STR) is a more modern and generic term.

Roughly half of the STRs in Unincorporated Riverside County are in Idyllwild. The remainder are mostly in Temecula’s Wine Country with only a handful scattered around the rest of the County.
