Dog friendly stay in Idyllwild!

Peaceful Pines

Great backyard for our Great Dane! House located in nice neighborhood, near hiking trails and town.

Beautiful Rambling Mansion

Stay Awhile Lodge

The outside of this home does not convey the intense size of scope of the many levels within. A grand escape from the city and perfect for a three day weekend on the mountain

Amazing House

Mountain View

The house was perfect, private, comfortable, and clean. Everything we needed was available to us. Super close to town. Bath tub was the best ever! Beds were super comfortable. View was exactly as shown. New Spirit Vacation Homes was super responsive.

Moonlight Mountain wonderland!

Moonlight Mountain Retreat

This vacation rental was perfect for our family (7 adults and 4 young children)! Big, bright, wood throughout the home. Beautiful views of the many deck levels. The only request would be that it had blinds or curtains on the multitude of windows.

Clark B.Jun 2026

Wonderful views, fantastic kitchen, lots and lots of stairs.

The View

The home and patio exceeded expectations, and the kitchen was a chef's dream with all the high-quality pots, pans, knives, pressure cooker, crockpot, and cooking utensils you could ever need. The beds were very soft with many blankets and pillows provided. A few notes:<br/>1. There are a LOT of stairs, which isn't evident in the pictures. Stairs to get to the house, stairs down to the deck, stairs down to one room, stairs up to the bathroom. <br/>2. The microwave is very small and very high. One of us couldn't reach it. <br/>3. There a lot of mosquitos on the deck, so we actually didn't use it as much as I thought we would. <br/>The coffee pot wasn't working, but they replaced that within the same day, so our coffee drinkers only missed out one morning. The blender also didn't work, but we brought our own, so we're ok. Overall, the home was beautiful and very close to town, and the management team was very responsive.

Lovely Oasis for a weekend getaway

Boulder Bungalow

The overall stay was truly wonderful. The property's amenities were amazing, and a very short drive to town. When we arrived, the property was going through an emergency power outage, so we didn't have power until around 11pm the first night. The only area lacking in our stay was not having adequate supplies to move safely throughout the property without power. There were no flashlights or candles available to use, and at night, the house is pitch dark, making it challenging and unsafe to move around, especially with the multi-level floors.

Perfect Mountain Getaway for Family Memories and Relaxation

Big Rock Creek Lodge

We had an amazing stay at Big Rock Creek Lodge from 5/7&#x2013;5/10 with our grandkids! Everything about the home was perfect and exactly what we hoped for in a mountain getaway.<br/><br/>The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, which made cooking meals easy and convenient. The house was also stocked with numerous board games that kept everyone entertained and created some really fun family memories.<br/><br/>One of our favorite parts was relaxing on the deck while listening to the creek running below the house &#x2014; it was so peaceful and calming. The hot tub was absolutely amazing, especially in the cool mountain air with the beautiful scenery surrounding us. The views are incredible, and the setting truly feels like a relaxing retreat in the pines.<br/><br/>The location was perfect for enjoying nature and spending quality family time together. We loved the cozy atmosphere of the home and appreciated how comfortable and welcoming everything felt.<br/><br/>We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend Big Rock Creek Lodge to anyone looking for a peaceful mountain escape in Idyllwild.

Amazing View, Serene Environment

Sunset Perch

This is my second time staying at Sunset Perch, and I wouldn&#x2019;t be surprised if we stay here again! This home is great for a small group or a couple. We loved enjoyed the view from the deck, cooking meals in the fully-equipped kitchen, and relaxing in the hot tub.

Alyssa A.Apr 2026

Love the views

The Dome (Idy Dome)

This location is phenomenal if you want beautiful views and nice amenities like a hot tub and sauna. The furnishings (decorative pillows and carpet) could definitely use a refresh. The shag rugs felt dirty and outdated.

ALICIA M.Apr 2026

Nice and cozy- very close to the town. The hot tub was great to use after a day of hiking. Management responded very quickly!

Perfect getaway

The cabin is well appointed.clean, well stocked, comfortable beds. It was wonderful to dip in the jacuzzi beneath the pines. Can&#x2019;t wait to return!

Fun and relaxing extended family vacation

The Pinnacle

The property was great! We had 11 people and all fit comfortably. The location, layout of the house, and amenities are exactly as described on the site. The house and surrounding land was clean and well maintained. Although the driveway is steep, it was easy to navigate; definitely recommend turning around at the top so as to make the departure easier. I appreciated the prompt response by the property manager about check in, check out, and the one time we had to call (we asked to have the trash removed as we filled the outside garbage cans before our check out date.) The town of Idyllwild itself was fantastic; there&#x2019;s a lot to do in the immediate neighborhood of the house, including hiking, shopping, fishing on Hemet Lake, enjoying the delicious restaurants (Atomic Cow and Idyllwild Pizza were our faves), and pottery painting at Earth Fire. Overall, it was a fun and relaxing vacation with extended family. Highly recommend!

Cute cabin!

Fox Den Lodge

We had a group of 10 friends stay here. All of the rooms are very cute, with cozy mountain cabin decor. The deck is amazing and this home is tucked on a quiet street, a short walk into town. Would definitely stay here again!

AnonymousMar 2026

Perfect for Big Groups

The Pinnacle

This home is perfect for big groups. The kitchen is well-stocked, there are so many decks from which to enjoy the views, and there's plenty of space in the house for everyone to spread out or come together for a meal and hang out. <br/>The hosts were responsive and asked us for feedback at the end of our stay. We didn't need to contact them for anything urgent while we were there.<br/>Short walk into town, quiet area. <br/><br/>The driveway is EXTREMELY steep, but you can also park on the street and walk up.

Big Rock Creek Lodge

We enjoyed our stay and would come back to this special property. The home is very unique and cared for. My daughter loved watching E.T. for the first time.

Rental property was as described, great for two guests and was walking distance to shops and restaurants. Kitchen was well stocked with untensils and dishes.<br/>Deck was perfect for enjoying the wildlife and fresh air!

A dream memory

Hidden Heaven

Lovely vintage cottage with lots of character and charm, along with the sights and sound of a creek brook running along the backside out the back door. Drinking coffee at the breakfast table, looking at the water out the back picture window is a dream. 2nd time staying here and it won't be the last.

Fern Valley Cottage - a wonderful place to stay.

Fun Snow Trip

Fox Den Lodge

Your house is clean have lots of room and really felt like a cabin. The backyard is large and almost completely fenced in not quite but the kids and the dogs loved the place. The beds were very comfortable. The whole family had a lot of fun and we would definitely stay here again. The yard had some slope so the sledding was a lot of fun.

Lovely setting

In the Pines

In the Pines is a perfect little house for our family. 3 nice bedrooms with bunks for the kids. Easy walk to town. Very clean with a decent kitchen. Will probably stay there again.

Cozy Cottage with great outdoor space

Fern Valley Cottage

My small family and I had a wonderful 3-night stay at Fern Valley. With unusually warm weather in January, we took advantage of hanging outside each day, and my 2yo loved exploring and gathering sticks and rocks from around the property. The home itself was quaint and very clean. And it was an easy walk into town. Overall, I recommend this rental and would stay here again.

Rachel L.Jan 2026

I Will Be Back

The Dome (Idy Dome)

Wonderful stay. Multiple outside locations to gather, from the high platform with the hut tub that held three large men, to the stagnant pond at the end of the walk from the driveway. Two inside locations to gather; large main room adjacent to kitchen and below game room that could sleep 8 and has one separate entrance. Greatest high ceiling. You will leave appreciating triangles.

Great house for extended family

Moonlight Mountain Retreat

Beautiful home and lovely deck area. House in very good condition inside and out. Spa, pool table and game room all were used and enjoyed. The road coming in to the house needs some repairs, but overall a wonderful place for 10 people. We never felt cramped or crowded.

Nice and relaxing

Alpine Lodge

The cabin was nice and cozy. It had all the essentials. Very close to town, easy to get to. Hosts were very responsive and helpful. I would suggest the spa be thoroughly cleaned.

A Rockin good time!

Boulder Bungalow

We loved our stay and will definitely be back. The kitchen is fully stocked with what seems like anything you might need. The patio is the star of the show, not to say the interior is not exactly on piont. Despite the neighbors being close, you still feel like you have privacy and seclusion. Definitely on our favorite list.

Peace and Inspiration

Tree Haus

As a writer and a mother, I treasure spaces that nurture both peace and inspiration—and Haus in Idyllwild gave me both in abundance. From the moment we arrived, the air felt lighter, the world quieter. Monica and Adrian made the entire booking process effortless, and the home itself was a perfect blend of charm, comfort, and thoughtful detail. My boys explored and played without a care, while I settled in with my notebook, finally able to write with a clear mind. Idyllwild has its own kind of magic, but paired with the warmth and care of New Spirit Vacation Homes, it becomes restorative. This was more than a getaway—it was a reset for the soul. I left not just refreshed, but inspired, carrying both my children’s laughter and pages of new words for my books, and focus on content for my clients, back home with me

Twice now, New Spirit Vacation Homes has restored my peace

Tree Haus

When life gets too loud, the right getaway can bring everything back into balance. That’s exactly what Monica and Adrian gave us. With warmth and efficiency, they arranged a last-minute stay in the sweetest Airbnb—full of peace, comfort, and charm. Within hours, my boys were calm, I could exhale and write, and our home-away-from-home became a little pocket of joy in the middle of life’s chaos. This is the second time I’ve stayed with New Spirit Vacation Homes, and both experiences have been equally restorative. They have a way of turning a simple trip into something that stays with you long after you’ve left.

Memorable stay at Wolf Creek

Wolf's Creek

Wolf Creek was the perfect spot for our needs. The property was clean with a well appointed kitchen. Safe & large dog enclosure which was shady all day. Management team very responsive for a small maintenance issue. Will stay again.

Peaceful Paradise

Knotting Hill

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.

Large House in an amazing location

TreeTop View

We rented the home over the Memorial Day weekend. Check in and check out was a breeze. The house was very large, perfect for two families with a whole floor for kids. At the end of Idyllwild so very secluded, but yet 5 minutes to town by car

Great Stay

Wolf's Creek

We encountered some problems at the onset, but they were all expeditiously addressed by New Spirit Vacation Homes, specifically Adrian. He did not have a 8-5 schedule and made it a priority to make sure our stay was problem free and pleasant. Great place to stay, I miss the sounds of Strawberry Creek already.

Atina M.May 2025

First time in Idyllwild, friends made the accommodations for us. We loved how rustic the feel of being there. First time to Idyllwild and enjoyed it very much. Thank you
