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!

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.

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.

Just a Little Slice of Heaven

This place was exactly what I hoped it would be - Tucked away in the forest but close enough to run to the grocery store and grab some more wood and champagne!!! We were comfortable the moment we walked through the door and for our entire stay!! The beds were AMAZING!! and the fireplace was so cozy and warm! We all hated to leave but will always have such great memories of a weekend away resting and relaxing!!

Super Quiet

Clean wooded fenced yard was perfect for our big lab to explore. The house is on a quiet road and in the back of the property for privacy. Having a plug for our EV worked great for enough battery fill to get to next destination. Very comfortable place to stay.

Cabin retreat in the trees

We had a wonderful time together in your cabin retreat. We really appreciate the nice beds and bathrooms. The deck is nice but I would suggest chair covers so you can protect the cushions. We didn’t have time for the jacuzzi or making a fire in the hearth.

Quaint cabin in the woods

Great property with plenty of room for a family of four plus a furry friend or two. The kitchen was well stocked with essentials such as cooking oil, salt and peppers, herbs and spices. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds very comfortable. The property also has some very nice touches like a dog bed, umbrella and scarf in case you've forgotten those things. It's also conveniently located within walking distance from town.

Quiet Mountain Retreat

The crow’s nest is a wonderful little house to get some peace and quiet. There are neighbors on either side but the noise level is very low, often completely silent outside. The yard is well fenced in including chicken wire around the bottom of the fence to keep even the tiniest dogs safe to roam. Hot tub worked well, as did the grill, and the kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans making it easy to prepare meals. Loved it!

Great cabin and amenities

All in all it’s a great place to stay. A nice yard to wander that is fully enclosed. Very bright and cozy interior w/a nice fireplace. I really enjoy relaxing on the deck w/tables and chairs. The only reason I dock a point is the jacuzzi is pretty worn and the jets are rather weak. I also wanted to turn on the hanging lights that surround the deck which didn’t work. I still think this is the go to cabin that has the proper amenities, dog friendly in the price range. This was my 3rd stay here and I will be back!

Girls getaway

We had a wonderful time. The place was charming, clean and very comfortable. Two small things: 1) There was s very strong sewer smell coming from under the deck near the kitchen door. We tried to locate it but couldn’t pinpoint. 2) There is only one broken ice tray. We recommend replacing it. If we were staying longer I would have bought a couple as a house gift!😁
