Hear from our guests about their experiences with New Spirit Vacation Homes.

AMAZING, CLEAN, AFFORDABLE, BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

The Dome (Idy Dome)

This rental went above and beyond our expectations. We had an incredible time, and we will remember this trip forever. The outdoor spaces were amazing, the fireplaces were inviting, and the sunsets in the hot tub were spectacular. The rental was very clean and very well stocked with everything you need to cook. We could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you for a great family trip. We will definitely be booking with this company again.

This is the one

The View

Look no further, hands down the best Idyllwild vacation home we've stayed at in the 20 years we've been heading there for a winter getaway. It checks off everything we look for - incredible views, private, cozy, clean, spa....and a responsive and cool property management team!

Beautiful View

The View

True to name, beautiful view, absolutely breathtaking. The house was cozy. Everything was extremely clean and furnished. Beds and blankets were good quality which made our stay extremely comfortable. The kitchen was fully equipped with necessities to make our home cooked meals, although their cooking utensils and microwave could be upgraded. The Jacuzzi was an amazing amenity that we enjoyed. A 2 minute drive to the town, great location, great house, perfect weekend getaway!

We loved the Lily Rock Lodge

Lily Rock

Our family of four adults and three children, ages six and ten, had a relaxing four day getaway in Idyllwild at the Lily Rock Lodge. The furnishings were exactly as depicted in the VRBO app as was the awesome views. We enjoyed the pool table, other games, and the hot tub.

Fantastic!

Lily Rock

Came here for a long weekend with our extended family and had a great time. Lily Rock is a super well equipped house and a wonderful space, we couldn’t have asked for more.

Serena M.

Perfect place for a quick getaway. Property is near trailheads and stays cool because of the tree cover. The view from the deck and master bedroom is beautiful.

Beautiful home in the woods

Big Rock Creek Lodge

We had the most amazing weekend in this beautiful, fully equipped, super clean house with giant hot tub!
We didn’t feel like we were staying in a rental, more like friends had left us use their house!

Amazing View!!!

Sunset Perch

Sunset Perch was the perfect location for our recent getaway. What a view!! Gorgeous sunrise and sunset. The cabin had everything to make our stay pleasant. Kitchen was equipped for all our cooking/baking needs. The bbq and hot tub was a big plus. Very peaceful location and cabin was very cozy and inviting. Love all the big windows. Overall, a very enjoyable stay. Thank you.

Kristie O.

Spectacular view

Sunset Perch

We could have just sat on the patio the entire time. Washing dishes was a pleasure because you could just stare out the window. The entire wall was windows so, wether you were outside or inside you see all the mountains and trees.

Stay at cozy cottage

Cozy Cottage

I had a good experience. The place was clean and had what we needed.

Home away from home!

Fern Valley Cottage

Nana and Papa's place couldn't be more perfect! The layout of the home allows everyone space and with plenty of areas to sit outside it was tranquil.The location of the property was perfect as it is close to town and yet far enough away to enjoy the quiet of the night.

Danielle C.

Cozy cabin in the trees

Sky Rock Lodge

Fully stocked kitchen. The hot tub was perfect. We also loved the fireplace . 2 private bedrooms and 3rd room is up in the loft with 2 twin and 1 full beds. Would definitely stay here again.

Shannon B.

Great experience

Sky Rock Lodge

We had a wonderful time at Sky Rock Lodge. The beds were comfortable and clean. The kitchen was well-stocked and there were plenty of linens. Spirit Vacations staff were all very friendly and responsive. The location was perfect; being able to walk to the creek and town was convenient. We will definitely

Michele Q.

Wonderful place to stay!

Palm Desert Resort & CC I

The whole process was fairly simple and straightforward upon check in. Everything was as the pictures showed. Great view of the golf course as the 3rd green is in your backyard. My family came and watched me the play the 3rd and tee off on the par 3, 4th. Amenities are great down to the really nice air mattresses. Would stay and recommend again.

Desert Dream Getaway

Palm Desert Resort & CC I

This home was in a great location, beautiful home very nicely decorated with all necessary amenities! We love golf and were able to get out to play, enjoyed the pool and the patio in the evenings. Will definitely be returning, thank you Spirit Vacations and to the owners!

Maria S.

Peace and relaxation

Treehouse Lodge

The place is beautiful and peaceful. Atthe back there's a stream of water flowing. We went to a lake that was also so serene and it's very close. Overall, my experience was amazing.

Thadeus C.

Treehouse Get-away

Treehouse Lodge

The property easily accommodated the group and had plenty of space for eating, talking, playing and enjoying the serene setting.

Couldn't be better, and especially with the professional expertise of the team who handles the reservation, etc.

I'll be back again... just not soon enough!

3 Gazing Stars - Great Place for family vacation

3 Gazing Stars

Our family consisting of 6 adults, 1 2-month-old child and 3 dogs had a great weekend in Idyllwild this last weekend. We stayed at the 3 Gazing Stars home and it was perfect. Great views and close to town. Couldn't ask anything better.

Richard P.

Starry Nights and Rustling Pines

3 Gazing Stars

This home is a 24 hour delight. No matter the time of day as long as the moon is out, you can step out on the deck and enjoy the beauty and quiet of the Mountains. It is close enough to the center of town to hear the activities of the day waft over the pines but not close enough to become annoyed with traffic noise. Lots of stairs to help build your leg muscles through daily living. New appliances and the staff responded quickly to any of our concerns. Lovely visit.

Great Place

The Spinning Wheel

We had a great time spending our weekend away from the city. The house was very nice and clean. Outside was very quite and beautiful. We really enjoyed our stay.

Annie N.

Cozy and relaxing

The Spinning Wheel

Close to down town and shops, we were so relaxed after lock our self up from COVID-19. This was a treat for us and my dogs.

Sirirat U.

Cozy place, beautiful yard

Lazy Bear Cabin

A private and comfortable getaway nestled in the quiet community of Idyllwild. We brought our dog and had a great 4 days relaxing by the fire in the living room together, and cooking up homemade meals. Very close to town- we walked there in 15 minutes. It was 85 degrees outside during our stay but inside the house remained very cool (even without AC). The only comment I have for improvements is the stove- one of the burners did not work. And when we checked in, we were told the BBQ may not be working. With the maintenance fees we paid for the booking, we hoped we were paying for maintained appliances. If you plan on grilling or cooking up a feast, you might want to call and check about the appliances ahead of time. Overall a good stay, I would recommend this place.

Emily A.

Love the lilac house

Lazy Bear Cabin

Absolutely loved our stay at the Lilac house. The second I pulled up, I felt a sense of peace and tranquillity. The house amenities were fantastic and the area is very quite and just a short drive into town! I will absolutely be staying here again!

Amanda S.

Dairy manor

Little Dairy Manor

I’ve been renting g from new spirit vacation rentals since 2021 and I love all their homes very clean accommodating the rentals this rental is very close to town we walked to town it’s just down the street about a 10 min walk very quiet and the home had air conditioning a plus it was very hot 4 th of July weekend very large home it says 4 bedroom but can easily be a 5 bedroom plenty of room and beds me and my family enjoyed our stay I’m never disappointed with new spirit rentals highly recommend

Terri D.

Loaded with charm and character

Little Dairy Manor

My family and I had such a great stay at Dairy Manor. You can feel the love and inspiration of this home in every single room, there is so much charm and character everywhere you look. The home’s age gave it so much of its beautiful character, yet you still have all the modern essentials needed for your stay. I never thought my sons (ages 5 & 8) would enjoy a home as much as they did at the Dairy Manor. Our stay here in Idyllwild was exactly what we needed as a family, shutting out the world of 2021, connecting with each other, and with Mother Nature. I honestly couldn’t be happier then I was with The Dairy Manor!

Jennifer B.

It was Heaven

Little Dairy Haven

We had a lovely stay at this adorable studio. It was close to town, and came with it’s own private gated yard and Hot tub. It was perfect for a get away to the mountains. Just charming.

Rebecca B.

Perfect from start to finish.

Relaxing Weekend with a Gorgeous View

Whispering Ridge Cabin

We loved our long weekend in Idyllwild at Golden Sunshine. This is a very charming, welcoming home with everything you need for a relaxing weekend in the woods. The kitchen was well-equipped for cooking great meals, the living spaces were great for playing games, watching movies and hanging out with friends. We spent some time playing games on the deck and would have loved a few more adirondack chairs for watching the sunset, but other than that we had the best time. Would recommend for couples and families looking for a spacious home in a relaxing environment with excellent views. Also, an easy 7 min drive to town for food and amenities.

Emily M.

Magical time in the mountains

Whispering Ridge Cabin

Our time at Golden Sunshine was magical. I t is a peaceful place perched on top of the mountainside. We sat on the wonderful wrap around deck and watched the sunset. We were there for a brief time but felt as if we got a lovely respite which renew and reentered us. Thank you for all that the New spirit star did to make our stay so great.

Barbara H.

Lovely and Convenient

On The Rocks

Our original rental was cancelled suddenly, and we were offered this house--a really, what a gift that was.

The home is spacious and quiet. The kitchen is well stocked (though items like sugar or oil may need to be purchased), and the hot tub is dreamy.

The tv has wifi compatibility and some apps (Netflix for sure)--but the tv is pretty tiny and there is a VCR (no DVD).

The home is very close to city center--it is walkable. We strongly recommend the doughnut shop in town.

Love Knob Hill

Knotting Hill

My husband and I have visited Idyllwild every fall for the past 10 years. This cabin is, by far, the most beautiful view we ever had in a residence up there. It's beautiful inside too! Lovely southwest decorations in comforting colors. Sitting in the jacuzzi and looking at the stars at night can't be beat here!!

The Pinnacle

The Pinnacle

We had a great time and the house was very nice with great views. Lots of windows and plenty of room. Would stay here again.

Spectecular Place

The Pinnacle

Beautiful, peaceful property with unique view, enough room for big family/friends reunion , walking distance to downtown and trails.

Perfect setting

Golden Lake View

We came here for a grief retreat with our therapist and the setting was absolutely everything we expected

Three Brothers

Golden Lake View

Our party consisted of three brothers in our 70’s and 80’s. Two brothers are from out of state. The inside of the home was spotless. The rooms were expansive. We has some problems with. The TV (looking for local, live programming) but soon understood what you see is what you get. The bid selling point is the view. It is spectacular. All in all, it was great!

Patrick L.

Very nice and quite location

Bear's Den

My family and I had a great 4 day stay here in July. There is no AC so it was uncomfortable for 1 of those days as we were having record breaking temperatures. The cabin was clean and the surroundings were very quite and peaceful. The hot tub was nice and ready to go when we arrived. The rooms in the loft upstairs were comfortable but recommended for kids as the stairs are a bit steep going up and down and the bathroom is more fashioned for short people. There is also no doors dividing the two rooms upstairs, its open space.
Over all we had a very nice stay. There are some fans in the cabin but I recommend avoiding this location during the peak of summer.

Michael H.

Spectacular Retreat

Moonlight Mountain Retreat

My children, grandchildren and I celebrated an early Christmas and this spectacular home met and exceeded all our expectations. Moonlight Mnt Retreat is well worth the money. It was clean, well maintained and had plenty for the youngsters to keep them entertained. The views from the amazing deck are breathtaking and a fabulous gathering place for the adults to relax and enjoy each others company. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare a traditional Christmas feast. Hats off to the owner and New Spirit Vacation Homes for providing such an amazing home.

Tavares Mountain Getaway

Hidden Heaven

Beautiful home within a 10 minute walk to downtown Idyllwild.

Fall Experience

Cozy Cottage

We were looking for the color changes in the trees and we were pleasantly pleased. Walking distance from the coffee shop : ), nestled among the trees, clean and warm. Suggestion: need reading lamps in the living room.
New Spirit staff extremely helpful. Thank you Gabby and Maintenance Man. Yes, I would stay here again.

Perfect Family Getaway

Peaceful Pines

This was our second time staying at the Peaceful Pines, and we enjoyed it just as much as the first. The home is lovely, spacious, and so well appointed. We found the beds and linens wonderfully comfortable and the living room the perfect cozy gathering place. Our dogs loved exploring the fully fenced and flat backyard - such a rare find. We look forward to returning again soon!

Deanna C.

Comfortable & Family-friendly Cabin

Fern Valley Cottage

We had a wonderful stay at this cottage and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again! The cabin is comfortable and well-stocked. We also loved the backyard being fenced so our pup and toddler could roam around. The property is private, but it is very close to everything including the town center and the nature center. We look forward to our next stay!
