You'll celebrate good food, long tales, and friendship in this dog-friendly Idyllwild vacation rental aptly named Hobbit House! The charming two-level cabin offers cozy amenities like a hot tub and wood stove for an intimate couple's vacation or trip for four.

The lodge is off the beaten path, yet has a central location mid-way between North Circle Drive and Strawberry Creek, offering easy walking access to all the Idyllwild Village restaurants and shops. Outdoor recreation surrounds you, as Idyllwild County Park and Nature Center are less than two miles from you front door, but with a hot dog right at home, you can have a nice night in!

The quaint two-story home has been remodeled from top to bottom, offering social areas on the main floor and private bedrooms upstairs. With two bedrooms and one full bath, the home comfortably sleeps four guests. Bedrooms are bright and sunny, offering two queen-size beds and a private balcony off of one room. The home also has a new whirlpool Jacuzzi tub. And don't forget a doggie bed! Dogs are welcome with an additional nightly pet fee.

Guests will find warmth and comfort in the living room which features a river rock woodstove and plush accent furniture. Watch your favorite romantic movies on the DVD/VCR player, or discover new ones with cable. Part time work can be done thanks to in-house WiFi. Relax with a homemade drink thanks to the wet bar.

At mealtime, the kitchen is fully outfitted with appliances including a stove/oven, microwave, sink, and refrigerator (though please note there is no dishwasher). A pass-through kitchen window will allow you to mix up cocktails for happy hour or cool dishes for your romantic feast. Dine indoors or outside thanks to an entry patio and back deck with grilling appliances.

This home also includes a washer/dryer for your convenience. While you do a load of laundry, hop into the hot tub and soak your worries away!

Beyond your private abode, the region is best known for hiking and climbing. Hike trails off the beaten path at Mount San Jacinto State Park or climb the iconic Tahquitz Rock. Bring your fishing pole and stand-up paddleboards for lazy days at Lake Hemet just nine miles away, or grab trail maps at the visitor's center just steps from home.

Share a meal at Tommy's Kitchen or Gastrognome, or raise your glasses in a toast at Goodtimes Bar & Grill. The city offers a robust arts scene, playing host to international film festivals and theater productions that cover the gamut - from Broadway to Shakespeare.

This quaint Southern California vacation rental is the ideal place to reconnect with those you love, whether it's a shared outdoor experience with friends or a private trip with that someone special.
