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

The Crow's Nest

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

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!

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.

Great location with plenty of parking. Private hot tub and deck with ample chairs and tables. Quiet, safe neighborhood within walking distance of downtown Idyllwild. Master bedroom has wonderful comforter and sheets, mattress was 8 out of 10 for comfort. Second bedroom has same sheets and comforter but a stiffer mattress, giving its comfort level a 6 out of 10. Showerheads in both bathrooms need a CLR cleaning due to mineral build up, shower pressure 5 out of 10. Wifi and streaming services worked great in every room. Temperature is well maintained by the thermometer an easily modified. Fireplace vents smoke well, no issues.

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.

Vacation in heaven!
Our stay at the Crows nest was perfect. The cabin and fenced yard was perfect for our dogs. Great weather sitting out on the deck in the sunshine. It was great to have a jacuzzi for relaxing. The location of this cabin is easy access to town. It was a quiet, private location. I would rent this beautiful place again in a heart beat!!! The sound of Strawberry creek running made it more magical!

Amazing stay
The cabin was perfect. It was located close to town but felt more remote. The check in process was super easy. It had everything we needed for a weekend stay and was very clean. I will definitely be back

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.
