Family get together
Great time. Highlights were relaxing on the patio with a spectacular view, mellowing out in the jacuzzi while admiring nature and cozying with the family playing games. We enjoyed the visiting the town of Idyllwild and a hike at the nature center. Thank you for sharing a great place.

Nice but ....
It's nice, but slept terrible, everything was great but just a few things, the hot tub did not get as hot as it should. The staff was great and sent someone out but it's an older hot tub couldn't fix heat. Also the bed down stairs was AWFUL!!! Tried then to slept up stairs and bed was hard as a rock. Sleeping on a mini get away is essential, really bummed me out, cuz everything else was great. Was on a culdesac and very quiet and very clean!

Perfect getaway
The cabin was really cute, cozy and the view was gorgeous. The hot tub on the patio was such an added bonus. There were plenty of towels and blankets, which was really nice. The biggest downside was that the beds were not the most comfortable and the stairs were a little worrisome. The steps were very narrow, so you really had to hold the rail and watch your step.

No Privacy
Neighbor on the right looks at you through their wondow. Made for a very uncomfortable stay. Houses are very close with little privacy. Check in process is outdated. Recommend shifting to Docusign for rental agreement and other documents that require signature. Recommend shifting to smart locks on the cabin doors to facilitate an easier check in/out process. Had an unprofessional experience with the rental company. Pictures of house are outdated.

Cozy cabin- overall great stay!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, we enjoyed our stay at this cozy cabin in Idyllwild. Here are some pros and cons. Pros: Amazing deck with views, nice and clean hot tub that works, flat driveway (driving in the snow was tough), comfortable space for two people, wood burning fireplace, 8 minute drive from the town, clean cabin. Cons: Beds were uncomfortable/ hard, the couches were uncomfortable and dated, minimal overhead lights so it got a bit dark, the check in process was annoying (had to sign papers ahead and scan them and email them sensitive info and physically pick up / drop off the key in town). But overall we got past those things and still had a nice stay at this place.

Beware of False Advertisement/ Bait & Switch
Im compelled to leave my honest/thorough review as I do not want any other guests seeking cleanliness, desperate for relaxation & comfort to waste time and hard-earned money on this subpar property. We paid holiday rates for Valentines wknd also. Upon arrival our hearts sunk-we noticed immediately photos New Spirit Vacation Homes published were NOTHING like we walked into. Lamps w burnt out bulbs,couches stained/collapsed, reclining footrest busted, area rug stained. Property advertised as having a fully equipped kitchen,grill w BBQ tools provided and internet service. ALL FALSE The 2 wine glasses provided were in fact not wine glasses and were even cracked! We had just bought wine from the local winery/art gallery and wanted to sit outside on the deck to enjoy. We prepared for our 4 day/3 night stay and brought lots of groceries as we were celebrating the wknd and hoping to relax after a recent unfortunate family emergency so we remained positive & hopeful! We contacted the 2 numbers provided and were given diff responses by 2 diff people over our concerns. Instead of being met with compassion we were given more false info and argued with,ultimately told someone would come the next am to fix things and bring items not provided.UGH! Against our better judgment we said OK and stayed. Mistake! Would you consider pile of blankets stuffed into a duvet a mattress?? We were bit by spiders and found webs over the bed. We left first thing in the am! I did make owners aware again.

Know what you’re getting
The most important thing to know about this cabin is that if you’re looking for an open and spacious floor plan, this is definitely not that. The living room and kitchen are completely separate and both on the small side. There is no dining room and the only place to sit and eat is at the small kitchen table. The living room does have a nice wood burning fireplace but the two sofas are worn out and very saggy in places. The TV (only one in the cabin) is small and internet only. They should also have cable as an option for more ease of use. The master bedroom is decent size but desperately needs the bed to be updated. It’s very saggy and very uncomfortable. The master bathroom is also small and very confining. The other hall bathroom a little bigger. The two bedrooms upstairs are decent size. The one standout of this cabin is the exceptional mountain views and very large deck in the back. Just wish you could see the view more from the inside. It’s just pretty much when you’re sitting at the small kitchen table. Overall this cabin is just ok. Would not stay here again due to layout and worn out furniture.

Amazing view!
The view is so gorgeous and the deck is really beautiful! We spent a lot of time reading and relaxing on the deck, enjoying the fall weather--that was really perfect. A few minor things: The hot tub doesn't get super hot no matter how we turned the knob. It was still useable though. Also, not nearly enough lighting, the living room in particular is really dim in the evening so we ended up bringing in some table lamps from the bedrooms so we could see! Overall, a great place to relax and enjoy Idyllwild!

Disappointing
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were a group of six adults and 2 children. We were confirmed that it would sleep the 8 guests, in comfortable beds which did not. The bed in the bottom floor was not comfortable at all. The toaster oven in the kitchen stopped working I had to reach out to the office and placed a complain. The following morning a toaster was delivered. Netflix worked well on both Thursday & Friday night. On Saturday night, we encountered issues, where the picture will just freeze. We turned off and on for three times and it worked briefly. We gave up on the fourth time and went to sleep. On the day of our departure the dishwasher started to leak and placed a text to indicate the issue. When I dropped the key off the office , I informed about the issue again , she responded do not worry. We will take care of it.
