Perfect Winter Getaway

The Dome (Idy Dome)

Idyllwild is a hidden treasure and staying at the dome was the absolutely perfect accommodation for friends and I celebrating my fiancés birthday! The view from every window was breathe-taking! Especially watching the sunset in the jacuzzi. The location was secluded but still close to downtown. The entire home was decorated for Christmas, a sweet touch to a the impeccable unique home. The house was incredibly clean with heaps of linens. The rental company did an excellent job to make sure we were well taken care of.

1 Night at THE VIEW

The View

New Spirit Vacation Homes staff was amazing! They were always available via phone/text with any questions we had. We were lucky enough to get an early check in and late check out since no one was staying before/after our reservation. Best vacation rental company we have dealt with so far! Amazing cabin, views are outstanding, everything about THE VIEW exceeded expectations!

Beautiful home

Big Rock Creek Lodge

Fabulous, architecturally stunning home. The view from the master bedroom is exquisite. Kitchen was stocked with all the equipment we needed and we appreciated the games and DVDs. We had some issues with warm water in the showers, otherwise everything was perfect.

Beautiful family retreat

Big Rock Creek Lodge

This is a beautiful cozy home with spectacular views from the master bedroom, kitchen, and spacious back deck. Great location within easy walking distance to hiking trails (Devil's Slide/Tahquitz Peak and Ernie Maxwell) & only a short drive to town. As always the New Spirit staff is friendly & helpful. Highly recommend.

Amazing Place

Sunset Perch

Amazing Place, everything worked just fine!

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.

2 wonderful nights at a wonderful “Cozy Cabin”

Cozy Cottage

My family decided on a peaceful weekend away in Idyllwild and I’m so grateful we did! It all begins when we found our Cozy Cabin rental. The property was set in a gorgeous setting in tall beautiful trees, with very rustic scenery which is exactly what my family was looking for. Cozy cabin was easy to find the description of the property was very accurate the layout of the cabin was simple and very functional, it was very clean & well-maintained. Property manager Niki was super sweet at the rental office when I completed signing papers and was given the keys, she assured me that anything I needed, all I needed to do was call anytime a day & anytime at night, nothing is too small to call over. Niki was super sweet and super professional. I would definitely recommend this property to my friends and relatives and plan on staying here again next time I visit Idyllwild California. My family enjoyed a short drive to Lake Hemet where we got on our bicycles and rode around the campsite looking at the beautiful views feeling the sunshine. My family also enjoyed homemade ice cream and delicious dinners lunches and breakfast out in town this Quaint town is very desirable when you’re looking for a peaceful getaway from something you are not used to when you live in a big city like we do. I recommend new spirit vacation rentals because they are so professional their properties are well-maintained and clean and Customer Service was above and beyond especially while corresponding with them through email they were writing me back within minutes. And were super accommodating to answering my questions and Managing our Cozy Cabin stay.

Cozy, Cute, & Clean

Cozy Cottage

We loved our cabin. It was spacious and clean in a great location.

Comfortable and spacious

Fern Valley Cottage

My three children and I enjoyed our stay at the rental very much. We were close enough to downtown and close enough to the trails that we enjoyed both with no time wasted in commute. I recommend it.

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.

Nice getaway

Sky Rock Lodge

Clean and available when they said. Close to town. Plenty of room. Butcher block peninsula was perfect for making Christmas cookies. We will definitely come back.

Melissa I.

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.

July fourth

Treehouse Lodge

We shared this fantastic home with another family. The house was perfect, as was the location. We all had our own private rooms, plus a spacious great room and dining area. Lots of room to cook, play games, or read on the decks. A lovely weekend!

Wonderful Weekend

3 Gazing Stars

We had a very nice weekend at the cabin. The only thing I would recommend is putting Blinds or Curtains in the upstairs bathroom and bedroom. We've stayed at this cabin before and it's very clean and is located in a very nice neighborhood. We will definitely stay here again

Michelle R D.

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.

Cozy Idyllwild Cabin

Lazy Bear Cabin

This was a great place to stay after having proposed to my new fiancee on top of Tahquitz. It was clean and cozy had a very nice master bedroom and bathroom arrangement. The fireplace and jacuzzi were both wonderful for relaxing after our climb. I would recommend this place to others.

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.

Idyllwild Cottage

Little Dairy Haven

Great location. Walking distance to town, yet tucked away in it's own neighborhood.

A lovely Cottage, great Jacuzzi.

Little Dairy Haven

This dairy barn cottage is so cute. It's surrounded on three sides with fencing. I'd recommend if you have a dog, and it doesn't trustworthy in terms of staying within the yard...there are some places he/she might slip out(husky!!)
I think one needs to check if they've put more secure fencing on the one side.
I really,really liked the cottage! There is no oven, just a two-burner stovetop. This was not a problem. Perfect for two people!

ROBERTA Y.

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.

Great cabin and location

On The Rocks

We enjoyed our stay at Idyllwild. It is a beautiful village with lots of hiking trails around. The cabin was great – spacious, clean, and had more than we expected. The jacuzzi, after long hikes, was delightful. We liked that we could walk to the center of the village within 10 min. The village offers art galleries, gift shops, and excellent restaurants. Our kids loved the painting ceramics class. Two hours away from LA is an easy drive and a great place to visit.

Lilia Y.

Great stay at "On the Rocks"

On The Rocks

This is a lovely home in a beautiful setting. Very comfortable, close to town but still felt away from it all. Loved the art work, the spa, and being nestled in the trees. Would definitely recommend.

Donna V.

Heaven Indeed!

Hidden Heaven

We have been to Idyllwild many times but have not found a lovelier place to stay than Hidden Heaven! We love it here and keep coming back. Charming, secluded, peaceful and simply the best!

Great experience

Hidden Heaven

Very nice location and cabin. Has everything you need; very clean.

Outstanding view

Knotting Hill

Lovely home in the mountains with a fantastic view.

Daughn C.

Great Weekend Stay

Knotting Hill

This rental made for a perfect weekend getaway. It was a cozy cabin with plenty of room for our guests. The deck and view in the photos do not disappoint. We had bright sunrise for coffee each morning and cool sky colors each evening.

William R.

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.

Absolutely gorgeous

The Pinnacle

My friends and I stayed at this house for one night. Everything was absolutely gorgeous. The house was immaculately clean, the kitchen was well equipped and oh my God what a beautiful view!!!

Bella S.

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!

Perfect setting

Golden Lake View

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

Awesome place and great location

Bear's Den

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.

Patrick K.

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.

Stunning Views

Grande Vista

Great Family Time.

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!

Beautiful cabin

Peaceful Pines

This was such a beautiful cabin. We absolutely loved it. The kitchen was very well supplied with everything I needed to cook, and the backyard was beautiful. The house was very, very clean but it was super evident they have a dog. Totally fine by us as we are not allergic. Lots of dog hair. Otherwise this was hands down the best house we have ever rented in Idyllwild, and we visit about 4-5 times a year.

Keira H.

Another Happy Return

Peaceful Pines

We love this home.

BOB F.

Had the best time.

Moonlight Mountain Retreat

We enjoyed every minute of our time there. Would recommend this home to all of my family and friends.

Very well kept rental. I was pleased by the well stocked kitchen for cooking!!!

Deborah V.

Cozy Lily Rock

Lily Rock

Our family had a great time @ Lily Rock over Thanksgiving. It was very clean and well stocked. You really do not need to bring any kitchen items or towels. Beds were comfortable. Wish there was more lighting and the upstairs needs to be properly explained. It is entirely an open loft. Two sides each have a Queen and 2 twins, the middle is a partially walled off room with door that has access to a shared bathroom upstairs. The floor is VERY creaky for those sleeping downstairs. I would definitely return with my family!

Mountain Getaway

Fern Valley Cottage

We spent 4 days in Idyllwild with our dog, the cabin was perfect for a short stay. The check-in was easy and on time, and check-out was a breeze. The cabin had everything we needed, a nice fenced in outdoor space, a well supplied kitchen, and super comfy beds. The location is also nice, it's a short walk into town and a quiet neighborhood. We will definitely look at other spots in the New Spirit portfolio for future getaways.
