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!

Mountain Retreat
Lovely home. Well appointed furniture, very comfy beds. A few things we noticed.: Kitchen knives were dull. Perhaps consider adding a knife sharpener for guests. Coffee maker didn’t keep coffee warm, was old and tricky to use, please consider a new coffee maker. Our dogs found under the main bdrm 2 chewed up meat bones from previous renters. The place was clean but being mindful of checking under the bed for such things would be good. The place was very comfortable and we enjoyed the spacious deck. We shall be back

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!😁

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.

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!

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.

Disappointed Trip
I want to start off by saying that the Crow’s Nest is a beautiful little spot. When we showed up it was clean and exactly how we had imagined it. Except without a heater… We thought we could make do, but 20 degrees in December was pretty cold. After talking to management (who were communicative and helpful at first), they let us know they would do their best to try and accommodate us. Ultimately there was nothing they could do to fix the heather or get us more space heaters. After initially letting us know that they would give us a discount / work something out for our troubles, we were ghosted. I would recommend this place but check first if heater is working! Also recommend that management does a better job of communicating with future guests.

Lack of maintenance
When we arrived, the heater didn't work. While we appreciate managements efforts to get the heater working, there was no solution at the time so we had to leave. This ruined our entire trip since it was for only two nights. We couldn't enjoy the first night because we had to sleep in our ski clothes and we had to leave the next morning due to no heat.

Perfect get away
Great yard for dogs. Hot tub was nice. Bed was comfortable. Wish there was a dishwasher. Although the house was very clean, I wished there were more cleaning supplies available for guests to use during the stay. The check in info was sent later than I’m used to when I’ve rented through other platforms which caused a bit of anxiety, as my message was not responded to either. But once I got the check-in info it was an easy check-in. Loved the location the house was in, very beautiful and close to many cute restaurants, shops, hiking trails, scenic highways etc. Overall, this was one of my favorite trips I’ve taken and would rent this lovely cottage again!

Awesome property!!!! Love the location, the hot tub, and the quiet neighborhood. Just be careful of the guest shower - can get a little slick in there and not much traction for the feet. All in all, a wonderful and cozy place to get away from the city bustle. Love the Master bed too! Bravo VACASA!!!!

Cozy cabin
The bedrooms were comfortable and well appointed as was the master bath. The large, fenced yard was a great plus with a dog. The second bathroom shower had very little water pressure and could not be practically used. The living room couches were very uncomfortable and the kitchen needed to be better organized in between guests. Broken, dirty and poorly functioning utensils were common. The Heater worked great in the cold weather.
