About this property

Dog-friendly mountain retreat with private hot tub & well-appointed deck

Take the whole family away for a peaceful vacation in the beautiful San Jacinto Mountains at this cozy, mountain-themed home complete with a wood fireplace, well-appointed deck, private outdoor hot tub, and back yard perfect for the kids or up to two dogs for a small nightly fee.

This two-bedroom rental is located less than a mile from the heart of Idyllwild-Pine Cove for shopping, dining, galleries, and spas. Idyllwild also plays host to the International Festival of Cinema held every January as well as the Stratford Players theatre group known for award-winning productions and staged readings throughout the year. Please note that a 4x4 is required to get to and from this area during the winter months. This home also has an electric car charging outlet, but guests must bring their own charging cable.

Tastefully blending rustic elements like hardwood floors and knotty pine ceilings along with modern amenities, this rental is a warm and welcoming home away from home. Step through the front door of your rental into the living room, with its high ceiling, rock-faced wood-burning fireplace, and plush furniture. It's the perfect place to kick back with a good book or channel surf on the cable TV.

Belly up to the adjacent breakfast bar and enjoy snacks, coffee, or meals prepared in the full kitchen. The kitchen includes drawers and cabinets stocked with essential cookware and dinnerware as well as an array of updated appliances, including a bottom-freezer refrigerator, four-burner gas range, microwave, toaster oven, and coffee maker. During the warmer months, fire up the gas grill out on the well-appointed deck and have a cookout.

Post updates and photos with ease thanks to the provided WiFi, and don't miss a moment of your favorite shows or movies on the three cable TVs. This home also comes with a private washer/dryer so that you can start each day of your vacation with fresh, clean clothes.

Relax on your furnished deck or soak away your cares in the private hot tub. Get out and about and enjoy more than 50 hiking and biking trails of varying difficulty that crisscross the region. Gear up and try climbing nearby at Tahquitz Rock!

Everything was ready to go and clean when we showed up. Loved the quiet location, but still close to the main town center. The beds were comfortable, as we have stayed at some places that the mattress is rock hard. The only thing that I would recommend is better wi-fi service, as it is slow, which makes it hard or next to impossible to stream movies.

Need to update sofa, no support and uncomfortable. Need to replace Rokus (inexpensive (streaming stick is 29.99) and the ones in there are old, couldn’t do some of the streaming services because model was too old). No supplies/firewood/ provided, bring your own. Hot tub was nice addition. Comfortable and roomy overall. Fireplace is really nice. Big deck and front yard space. Vacasa communicated frequently.

Wonderful cabin like home in a rustic setting. It felt private and secluded yet we were only a few minutes away from great restaurants, stores, and the local market. I definitely recommend this place!

Great little place in the woods. The couch is a down couch, which was a problem for our friend who is allergic, but everything else in the house was good. Really appreciate how dog friendly it was.

Charming relaxing adventure

This is a place where we spent time on the deck surrounded by trees and woods in a peaceful neighborhood. The walk to town was an adventure I’ll be coming back. I left it here.

Charming inside and out

Lilacs, daffodils and a dusting of snow on the pines welcomed us to the Crow's Nest cabin. The location is perfect--less than 10 minutes from popular trails, shopping and restaurants. We enjoyed the eclectic decor, small functional kitchen, comfy beds and beautiful views from the windows and deck.

Peace in the Mountains

Review:I had a lovely stay at this peaceful, dog-friendly mountain retreat. The home was cozy, well-appointed, and had everything I needed for a comfortable visit. The front yard was beautifully landscaped, and the deck created the perfect space for outdoor relaxation. Although the weather didn’t allow me to enjoy the hot tub, I still had a wonderful time. I would definitely love to visit again!

A cozy cabin vibe with everything you need to be comfortable! The fireplace and hot tub were a big draw for us. The beds are really comfy, and the location is perfect too, a beautiful residential street that is also close to town. Highly recommended.

Great weekend get away!

We loved this little cabin in the mountains - we enjoyed the location - less than 1/2 mile from restaurants and little shops. The hot tub was great too. It got cool at night so we used the fireplace to stay a little warmer. The place is very clean and nice , but the master bath shower could use some love - it’s a little moldy. We definitely would stay here again.
