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!

Crow’s Nest Idyllwild
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!

Disliked: Check-in, communication
Overall the Crow's Nest was a delightful cabin. The central AC was a plus in 85 degree heat.Gaining entry was problematic as I was given a 10 digit code that did not work the security door. I had to contact Casago and speak with someone who gave me the lock box code to get a key. And it wasn't easy manipulating the security lock with the key either. But after a few tries and another phone call the lock finally worked.The cabin is very much as advertised. Linens and towels were great as were the showers and water pressure.The gas grill igniter did not work and needs to be relaced.The TV screen in the living room is damaged and needs to be replaced.I noted cobwebs hanging from the ceiling and plenty of grease stains on the refrigerator next to the stove.It wasn't clear where the controls to the hot tub was until I lifted the entire cover away.The yard was well fenced in for a pet (something the owner never got back to me on)The EV charging is only Level ONE... host ought to clarify in description.
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.

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.
