Big Oak Retreat

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

Retreat to the woods with this dog-friendly Idyllwild vacation rental that's off the beaten path! Full of rustic charm, you'll feel rejuvenated in no time as you unplug and unwind amidst the mountain atmosphere in the private hot tub.

Tucked away among lush ponderosa pines, this cabin is private but only a mile from town. Please be aware that in winter the access road is sometimes difficult to traverse; fortunately, both downtown and the Tahquitz Pines Conference Center are within easy walking distance. For fantastic hikes, climbing, and more, the Idyllwild Nature Center is only two miles away.

The home has a welcoming charm, with wooden walls and wicker chairs. If you just want to chat with your friends after a long day, put some music on the stereo for ambiance. For those with a competitive nature, there are board games provided so that you can start a tournament, or books if you would rather have some quiet time. WiFi and a wall heater in the living room ensure your daily needs are attended to.

The fully stocked kitchen is more than up to your cooking adventures. Brew some coffee to help with inspiration, then try a new recipe! When you're done, set everything out on the cheerful breakfast nook to eat.

Two cheerful, well-appointed bedrooms have plush queen beds. A third bedroom, this one with a double bed, has an en suite bathroom with a standalone shower. With two full bathrooms, larger parties won't need to stress about long lines for the restroom. If you'd like to bring your canine companions along for a small fee, that's no problem!

Perfect for a girls' getaway or some couples traveling together, there's plenty to do in the area. Catch a live show at one of several local venues, or if you're lucky enough to be around at the right time, make sure to attend the Jazz in the Pines festival with world-class jazz musicians. In addition to the wonderful music in town, there are dozens of art galleries featuring paintings, sculptures, and ceramics by local artists. Fisherfolk can spend hours at Lake Hemet, catching trout. (But make sure you have a valid fishing license!) For the hikers, try one of the many trails nearby, like the evocatively named Devils Slide Trail or Deer Springs Trail. Fans of mountain biking and climbing will also find plenty to catch their attention, with gear rentals available in town.

Cozy and conveniently located
We spent two nights here over Thanksgiving. We didn’t spend much time in the house because we were visiting family who lives locally. However, we liked the house very much, good layout with plenty of space for our group of 3 (one couple plus one adult). The extra bed off the kitchen is in a cool “nook” rather than a room, anyone taller than about 5 feet seven inches wouldn’t fit. But one or two kids who were okay with being away from the rest of the bedrooms would probably have fun sleeping in it. It’s not a long walk from the house to town, more than 1/2 mile but less than a mile. All in all, it’s a charming, cozy cabin and we would definitely stay there again!

July 4th getaway
It was in a quiet location not too far from town. A nice entrance with trees, and privacy around. It also has a closed in dog run which was great a deck that looked out onto the trees.

Summer Getaway
Loved that this location was close to town. The place is pet and family friendly. We had a pleasant stay. Used the hot tub on the nice deck. The kitchen had the works- utensils, pots and pans, stove and fridge, dishes. We saw a deer show up after coming back inside from town. Overall, very wonderful stay would recommend. No cable TV, but DVD player works.

2/5 Poor

Michael & Susan B.

Disliked: Location, listing accuracy
Cabin size ok but issues
Hard to find as dirt road with no markers or signs. Heaters & fireplace antiquated, main shower with obvious mold, no local TV, DVD player not Blu-ray & not noted. Carpeting spotted needs deep clean or replacement. Tiny microwave took twice as long to heat anything. Overall cabin chilly & primitive
