This is a well-cared for home in the style of Frank Lloyd Wright. The master bedroom was spacious with a comfortable mattress (might have been a Tempur-Pedic) and high-quality bedding. The kitchen was well appointed. The view from the deck was spectacular with comfy seating for a group. There was so much attention to detail from this home from the stone paths from the carport to the front door to the thick bath towels next to the back door to obviously be used for the hot tub. This home seemed like a home.

We had a lovely stay at The View, and everybody we dealt with at New Spirit was friendly, helpful, and professional. The property has lovely outdoor areas and couldn't have been cleaner.

The only things people might want to know in advance are:

1. Two of the bedrooms on the upper levels have an open wall onto the living area, if noise/privacy is a concern.

2. There is some traffic noise from the highway that runs below the property, although it is largely screened from view by trees. This didn't bother us, and we enjoyed beautiful sunsets and stargazing on the deck.

Thanks again for a wonderful stay.

We loved it. That’s sums it up.

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.

This is our favorite cabin in Idyllwild. Spectacular architecture, views, and artwork. New Spirit Vacation Homes staff are always easy to work with, kind and fast.

This was our 2nd time staying here. Another great experience.

Second time staying in this house and absolutely love it!!!!

My son loved climbing to the loft. I enjoyed the location with a forest for a backyard. I think there is a deer trail that runs through it, two walked through the day we left. The carpet and some details were a bit dated, but that’s about the only thing I could say about the place. Loved having a wood burning fireplace.

I needed this!! Thank you New Spirit for putting me in the perfect property for my get away and for helping to make my weekend totally stress free. The seclusion was awesome. I'll be back.

Overall Fern Valley Cottage suited our needs just fine. We chose to have breakfast and dinner in the house and lunch at local restaurants. We enjoyed being able to spend time on the patio and enjoying the trees and the animals.

This was a great place for a getaway. Close to town, lots of space for 2-4 people and a lot of outdoor space. We will be back!

Very happy with everything! Loved the white notebook with all of the importance information!

Didn’t have to leave the cabin. Everything and anything was available we are all in our 70s and 80s and we had a wonderful time

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.

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!

Killer location and very nice house right on the creek and within walking distance to town. The house was fully stocked and well maintained. There is a fenced in area up front for dogs and a nice walking path behind the home along the creek.

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!

We loved three gazing stars because we could walk to town . The driveway was not too steep so we were able to walk up and down without problems. Looking forward to go back

The house was beautiful! Very well stocked kitchen, and all the amenities we needed. The views from the deck were just spectacular, and the house was very clean. The property management was really great. Super fast to answer any questions we had.

The home was even better than advertised. Charming home with great perks. I would recommend this place to anyone.

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.

Overall, I would describe our stay at the Lilac House as magical. The home has a cabin in the woods rustic feel that made us feel that we were alone in the woods despite being in the middle of a neighborhood. We spent mornings with Campfyre Coffee on the deck and evenings in the hot-tub watching the stars. My only complaints were the lack of curtains on the front windows, and some windows didn't open or needed to be propped to stay open but, added to the rustic charm.

Lovely, cozy cabin in the woods

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!

Easy booking. We loved staying is this cute and cozy cottage. Comfy bed and just the right size for a romantic getaway. Roomy fenced backyard with a relaxing spa. Perfect for 2. Within walking distance to town, but not too close to be bothered by traffic noise.

This cottage was perfect for a weekend stay for my partner, our dog, and me. Check-in was quick and the team was very responsive to any communication. The cottage was quaint with everything we needed. We enjoyed the hot tub and fenced-in yard. The place is a quick walk to lots of shops and restaurants in the center of town.

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.

It was our first time that my family and I rent a cabin and we all love it, kids had the most amazing time, they didn't want to left the cabin. Cabin was clean, very confortable, awesome location, the owner answer all my questions very quickly. We loved it there and we definitely recommend it and also going back in summer.

We had a great time! Would definitely rent this house again.

our family had a lovely time at this property. Great views and comfortable inside. The hot tub was great and the stream in the backyard was peaceful.

This is a peaceful cabin, set well back from the street, with space for a full family with a large table in the dining area and lots of seating around the wood burning fireplace. The kitchen is well supplied, all appliances work well. We enjoyed the gas grill and especially enjoyed waking up to the sounds of birds and little animals. The creek was pretty low, but expect it would be lovely to hear when it is full.

Absolutely in love with our experience in our cabin. The town is small and friendly. It was perfect for us to celebrate our 22nd Anniversary/ husbands birthday. Waking up to the sound of the creek and singing birds... priceless.

First time on IdyllWild good experiences lovely place

We were a group of 12 adults on a work retreat. The house was perfect, spacious, well-appointed, and in a gorgeous location. We had everything we needed and it was clean and well maintained. Only downsides: The jacuzzi is very small and we would have liked a bigger one. Also, the smallest 'bedroom' is really like a closet with a rickety bunkbed in it.

My group and I love this property so much that we've been renting it for the second time. It was a delightful surprise to see the upgrades, such as a bedroom downstairs got a whole new king bed, and new chairs added to the balconies). I am grateful for the impeccable care and service that we receive when we rent this home. Thank you from all my heart.

Great experience , very relaxing. Home was amazing very comfortable and clean. Very quiet location. We had local places to go eat and to the store . Overall amazing experience. Loved the home.

Great vacation home

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.

The cabin was huge and had plenty of up to date amenities. Plenty of room for our family of 5. Close enough to the main village area and the property had plenty of parking for our two vehicles. The heater and fireplace worked great at keeping the cabin warm even with the snow outside. Beds were comfortable and tons of room to lounge around.

This is an amazing property. Thank you to Monica and the team for making this happen last minute!! Don’t use your GPS you will get lost. The deck is so nice we rarely spent time inside. Definitely recommend.

Can’t wait to come back to this property - gorgeous views!

We enjoyed staying here during a winter storm. It was WONDERFUL! And what a beautiful cabin!

This was our second stay at Peaceful Pines fka Cricket and like the first time it did not disappoint. They have everything you need, especially for you dog owners. The backyard is absolutely amazing. We still had lots of snow on the ground and the dogs loved it. This property has true pride of ownership and you can tell the owners use it themselves.

This cabin provides a great reason to escape for a weekend and enjoy the town of Idyllwild. The cabin is equipped with sufficient basics to have an enjoyable weekend with stunning views.

We rented with a group of 5. 2 parents and 3 older teenagers. Great views. A lot of space. Interesting layout but great with 3 living spaces for everyone to spread out. Love the deck and hot tub. Finding the house is a challenge. They almost need to have a map included in directions.

The place was perfect for our needs. Comfortable, clean, and beautifully appointed.

We spent 3 nights at Big Rock Creek Lodge and enjoyed every minute of it. The amenities are fantastic, the deck has a wonderful view with the calming sounds from Strawberry Creek, and everyone had a great time. My kids (7 and 5) really enjoyed the bunk beds and playing the different games. Would highly recommend, but there are several things to mention.

1. This is a nice home, meaning the wooden floors, countertops, and decor need care and attention. Not recommended for those with untidy children, as it will stain or damage the property, which means $$ from you.

2. The creek is not hikeable. There is private property all around.

3. The check in/out is a slight inconvenience, but an inconvenience regardless. You have to pick up and drop off the keys at the main office. Out of 20+ short term rentals I've stayed in, never have I had to drive to an office, find a lockbox out of 30 on a wall, and get the keys.

4. The really long emails and archaic contract PDFs just add to the inconvenience. I understand the need to convey important information, but please format it properly rather than sending 1000 words (yes, I counted). Also, contracts should be via an e-sign provider, not PDFs to fill out, scan and email back. And at the very least include check in/out and pricing details in the PDF before sending it out rather than having the customer fill it out.

5. The property managers are very responsive and easy to communicate with. It was nice knowing that I could send a text and get a response back within minutes typically.

If you are looking for a piece of paradise this property has it all. From stunning views to thoughtful amenities,we enjoyed our near perfect stay. The rustic decor was a welcoming blend of cabin charm with modern touches. The grounds are well kept and has a completely fenced in yard which was a huge bonus for me, as we have a service dog/s. We had a service issue during our stay and it was handled quickly and without any awkward conversation with the management company. The staff was prompt, friendly, and helpful. We enjoyed our stay beyond our expectations and will stay again in the future.

Lots of space and light, wonderful views, and very peaceful. Management was quick to respond to questions and very professional. Highly recommend this unique and special property.

We sent a group of teachers to work on their curriculum. They had a great time. The Dome allows for recreation (it's so beautiful up there!) and focus (the TVs allow for connected devices so they could display their curricular plans and work together). Best of all, the team who welcomed them was responsive, flexible, and friendly.
