Best Rental

The View

It was one of the best rental we had. Everything went smoothly and we didnt have any problem at all. We all had a good time specially the jacuzzi. The view is definitely the best part of the house. We'll definitely want to book again or refer it to people we know. Thank you!

The View House Really is!!

The View

The view from The View House really is as magical as the pictures show. There is more deck furniture now. It is lovely. The kitchen is much nicer than the pictures show as well. It's a lovely home. Monica and Niki from New Spirit were so friendly and helpful, it added to the entire experience. The house was very clean and welcoming. It was also super close to town yet when you were in it it felt very secluded.

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.

Plenty Of Room And A Pool Table Too.

Lily Rock

We had plenty of room to relax. Quiet areas for reading, a nice kitchen, and a pool table for family fun.

Winter getaway

Big Rock Creek Lodge

The home was very cozy and relaxing with the sound of the creek behind. All of the accommodations in the house were perfect!

Kevin Y.

Relaxing and Tranquil

Big Rock Creek Lodge

Great getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday city life. The house was equipped with everything we needed. We are looking forward in returning to Idyllwild.

What a wonderful place!

Cozy cabin in the trees

Cozy Cottage

My husband and I really enjoyed our 3 night stay in this quiet comfy cabin with views of cedar trees out all the windows. The bed and couch were comfortable and we slept great every night. The kitchen was fully equipped with lots of small appliances as well which we appreciate as we cooked a few times. The stove, toilet and refrigerator seemed quite new. The cabin was clean when we arrived and the heat was on so it felt welcoming right away. The cabin reminded me of a place I used to stay in as a kid with my family. The property management company kept us well informed and we had an easy check in and out. We would definitely consider staying here again in the future.

Mountain Getaway

Fern Valley Cottage

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.

End of year get away

Fern Valley Cottage

We had 3 lovely days in Idyllwild to hike, explore, shop and snuggle. No snow, but chilly and the comfortable beds and awesome heater made nights cozy and comfortable. The location of the property makes for an easy, short drive, or walk to town. Yet distanced enough to be private and off the beaten path, and quiet. The design of the home provides lots of privacy too, with bedrooms on either end. We loved the extra dining space and used the big table to start a puzzle. The cabin felt like a home with all the amenities, thoughtful touches, and mountain decor. We will return and I would highly recommend the property and management staff to friends. New Spirit staff were helpful and kind. We enjoyed great pizza at Idyllwild pizza, enjoyed the brewery food and drink, Red Kettle did not disappoint, and have a small addition to the chocolate at El Buen Cacao.

Perfect Stay!

Sky Rock Lodge

The cabin was quiet, relaxing, and had everything that we needed for a short getaway. I loved that this property was back away from the street. My kids and dogs loved exploring around the property and my dogs loved the fenced yard. We were able to relax in the spa and had everything that we could possibly need provided by the cabin- including beach towels! Every single person that I spoke with between the booking, check-in, and check-out process was friendly, helpful, and very welcoming.

SARA B.

Wonderful experience!

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!

December 2022 review

Treehouse Lodge

The house is spacious and gorgeous. It was secluded and quiet but a very short walk to town. It has a large fenced in yard for dogs as well. Our family enjoyed our trip greatly in this cozy home.

A great weekend getaway!

Treehouse Lodge

The Treehouse was a great house for multiple families to stay at. We loved that each room had its own bathroom. The upstairs loft was a great place for the kids to play and hangout. We enjoyed the deck and playing in the snow in the yard. We never had to leave the house. We would highly recommend staying here. The only small issues were the house was not ready at check in time and we ran out of toilet paper during our stay.

Christina G.

Absolutely Awesome

3 Gazing Stars

The perfect retreat for a family and friends. Our daughter loved exploring the property and we all really enjoyed the layout of the space. Plenty of privacy with the separate upstairs and downstairs. An amazing library of books and games to enjoy and an absolutely beautiful deck with the most epic views of the mountains and rock formations surrounding Idyllwild. The hosts are so accommodating and friendly as well. Definitely will come back.

Donnie J.

Had a nice weekend, great view.

Crestview Lodge

The Spinning Wheel

As soon as approaching Crestview, front outlay of the cabin is very warm and welcoming. As soon as walking inside, your presented with ample wide living room that is very beautiful and esthetically pleasing and stress free. Big ample kitchen to cook and host friends and families and not to mention warm heating to counter the cold �� overall, my family and I were very pleased with crestview lodge!

Best place we’ve stayed

The Spinning Wheel

A relaxing anniversary trip!

Lazy Bear Cabin

My wife and have stayed with New Spirit several times and this last time didn't disappoint. Lilac has plenty of room inside for two, a charming and comfortable living and dining area, all with wooded and scenic views. The fireplace is a must!

Michael C.

"Very relaxing great get away

Lazy Bear Cabin

The Wife fell in love with the cabin at frist sight.

A perfect getaway in the mountains

Little Dairy Manor

We had a great stay! The house is well kept and clean and spacious. There was a foot of snow on the ground when we arrived and it made for a perfect vacation.

Eli S.

Great vacation!

Little Dairy Manor

The house was unique, big and very clean. Great location and 1/2 mile walk to town in the snow was fun!

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 Little Cottage

Little Dairy Haven

We needed a quick break from LA and this place was perfect. Usually when we go to Idyllwild we go tent camping, but we wanted a bit of warmth and comfort this time around - this cottage was perfect. It was cozy, clean, warm and the hot tub was fabulous. Location is great, quiet but easy walk into town center. Highly recommend.

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.

Amazing weekend, no complaints!

Whispering Ridge Cabin

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.

Veronica S.

On the rocks

On The Rocks

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.

BUSTER C.

Great Vacation Spot

On The Rocks

Dealing with New Spirit was very pleasant. Everything was exactly as expected and the Home was fabulous. 3 great bedrooms and a really exceptional property that was fully stocked with everything that we needed. I highly rate the rental property as well as New Spirit and would certainly use their services and stay at "on the rocks" in the future.

Perfect Family Rental

Hidden Heaven

Our stay at Hidden Heaven greatly exceeded our expectations! The home was clean, not cluttered, felt homey, quiet! Furniture was older but felt clean, and the beds were comfortable for us! Adored the deck and view over the creek! We enjoyed dinners outside every evening! My three little kids loved exploring the outside perimeter of the cabin! The kitchen was incredibly well stocked and well labeled, which I really appreciated! Very close to the village (like a 2 minute drive). We can't wait to return!

Beautiful, relaxing weekend getaway

Knotting Hill

Everything was perfect: From the comfortable and well-equipped house, to the spectacular view, to the awesome hot tub. The people from New Spirit Vacation Homes were cordial, available and very accommodating on check-in and check-out times.

Heidi M.

Excellent customer service! A great time overall at Knotting Hill

Knotting Hill

We loved our stay in Idyllwild, the house was clean and the location was great. But, what really impressed me was the customer service we received. Everyone we talked to were not only very professional, but very personal, helpful, and kind! It really makes a difference. Thank you for everything and we hope to come back soon!

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.

Absolutely Amazing

The Pinnacle

I hosted a silent retreat here and there aren't enough words to express how the home and location totally provided us all with the most beautiful views and comfort. Each woman enjoyed every aspect of this lovely home. We did a silent heart chakra meditation outside, meditated next to the beautiful sounds of the outdoor flowing waters. We rested on the deck and was in AWE of the how high were, literally eye level with the trees. This is an amazing space. Very clean, plenty of room, nice energy and just simply amazing.

Tomeekha P.

Amazing views! Awesome location!

Golden Lake View

Plenty of space for our family of five and super clean. Amazing views! Awesome location! Close to restaurants, shopping, snowboarding, and snow tubing! We’ll be back. Thanks!

Beautiful and comfortable

Golden Lake View

We were a group of 5 adults and 3 kids, and had the most amazing time at this beautiful cabin. The living area and kitchen have a lovely view of the trees and the lake, which makes breakfast a fantastic experience. The house heating system works well and the fireplace helps as well. The house is also only about 8 min drive from the Village. Overall, it was a 10/10.

AMAZING STAY!!!

Bear's Den

Well awaited stay. This lovely cabin was clean, well-stocked, plenty of room for our girl's weekend. "Just what the Dr ordered". The staff at New Spirit were very friendly and helpful.

Bears Den Vacation

Bear's Den

Our time in the Bears Den Cabin was exceptional. Plenty of room and the kitchen was fully stocked with pots, pans and flatware. We did have a you bird stuck in the fireplace when we arrived but we got him out safely.

Milky Way Majesty

Grande Vista

Everything was as presented. The deck was amazing. We spent a lot of time outside, but were perfectly content to stay at the house rather than sightseeing. We were out each night shooting photos of the Milky Way perfectly framed between the trees off the deck. The house was not for people with significant disabilities, but we were very content there. Thanks for a great stay!

Beautiful Views and a Lovely Stay!

Grande Vista

We had an amazing time staying at Grande Vista in Idyllwild! The views were absolutely stunning and should sell you on the place on its own, but the house was incredibly cozy and heightened the experience even more. One of our nights, the winds knocked out the Idyllwild power supply (which can happen in the mountains), but New Spirit Vacation Homes was so helpful in bringing us flashlights and supplies! Honestly, that night with no power, looking at the amazing stars is one of my favorite memories from the trip! Thanks so much for making our stay so relaxing, safe, and wonderful!

Favorite Home Rental - The Cricket!

Peaceful Pines

This is our second time renting the Cricket. They have thought of everything and its a home you can enjoy inside and out! Lots of places to relax and unwind in the sun and shade.
Our dog love it there as well, and the owner provide dog bowls, toys, and doggie bags for clean up. The back yard is big and great for exploring with lots of room to roam.
The jaccuzi is under a shaded pine tree and private. We spent most of the day outside with a cool breeze blowing through while lounging on the patio furniture.
The rental company New Spirit Vacation Homes is always accommodating and friendly. We plan to rent the Cricket again, and again!

Beautiful Retreat

Moonlight Mountain Retreat

Moonlight Mountain Retreat accommodated our family of 8 with ease. Plenty of bedding and towels, and i was pleasantly surprised to find even the mattress cover on the pull out couches were clean! Kitchen was well stocked. It was quiet, peaceful, and really a beautiful setting, yet just a few minutes drive to town so it was easy to make as many trips as we wanted. We had lots of fun with the pool table and shuffle board, and the multiple TV’s were great. The house is so unique and all of the wood working is gorgeous. Even though it was extra hot weather and the house doesn’t have AC, the rental provided fans, there is actually quite a bit of shade over some areas of the house, and at night the temp was perfect for sleeping with the windows open. We would definitely stay here again.

Pro's outweigh the cons

Moonlight Mountain Retreat

We got lost because we didnt follow staff instructions ��‍♀️ but after finding the home we were over the moon with this house!! Has a well stocked game room which served us well as I have children, I HARDLY SAW THEM ALL WEEKEND!!!! Talk about a VACATION ��. The upstairs living area has a beautiful LARGE sectional and VIDEO GAMES!!! Hardly saw my husband all weekend: SCORE!!! jk, the house is well stocked and beautiful. The views were amazing, although finding it was a bit of a mission but totally worth it! One thing though, on our last day my daughter found herself face to face with a small mouse. I spoke with the management company and suggested they move the location on their trashcans as it came in through where those cans are. Overall, AWESOME HOUSE, would consider going back if the EXTRA guest isnt occupying it, ha ha ha.

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!
