What Our Guests Are Saying

Hear from our guests about their experiences with New Spirit Vacation Homes.

AMAZING, CLEAN, AFFORDABLE, BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

The Dome (Idy Dome)

This rental went above and beyond our expectations. We had an incredible time, and we will remember this trip forever. The outdoor spaces were amazing, the fireplaces were inviting, and the sunsets in the hot tub were spectacular. The rental was very clean and very well stocked with everything you need to cook. We could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you for a great family trip. We will definitely be booking with this company again.

One of the Bests

The Dome (Idy Dome)

The place is easy to access, clean, has everything, the office staff is helpful and respectful: from the moment they assisted with my reservation to the check out.
We rented this property back in December 2020, I just reserved it for December 2021 ( We are going back baby!!)

Wonderful time at the View

The View

Clean, well-maintained, and utterly charming. A few ants made their way indoors, but other than that, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Great privacy, but still less than 5 minutes from everything in Idyllwild.

The best weekend of our lives

The View

We decided to rent a house to invite a few friends to spend the weekend with us and do an intimate wedding ceremony. The house was just beyond perfect! Super clean, cozy and comfortable for us and our 8 friends. We did the ceremony during the sunset at the deck and the view was breathtaking! I would recommend this house to everyone that wants to enjoy nature and escape from the daily routine, is the perfect getaway to spend with friends or family.

Cozy Cabin Vibes All Around

Big Rock Creek Lodge

We celebrated a birthday here and it was perfect to escape into the trees. The cabin has incredible views that make the place feel very private, despite being so close to other cabins.

It is a bit of a ways from town if you are looking to walk, but otherwise just a quick drive. We found we had everything we needed at the cabin, and spent most of our time there, anyway.

Worth noting that the master bedroom is actually a loft open to the downstairs and you can hear everything - light sleepers be aware. Other than that (and an odd infestation of fly's outside) the cabin was wonderful and we would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing weekend!

New Spirit was probably the most seamless management company I've ever rented from. Thank you to them for everything!

Great place to stay!

Big Rock Creek Lodge

This is our second time staying here. We love it! The jacuzzi is so nice, already warm when we arrived. The house is clean and had everything we needed. Lidia was a great help!
We would stay here again for sure!!

What a wonderful place!

Sunset Perch

Absolutely awesome stay. Wonderful deck with outstanding views. Inside, comfortable with everything well thought and working smoothly. Great heater, awesome chimney, comfy beds, flawless internet, great views from inside too, cool Jacuzzi, BBQ, games, etc. A very nice experience.

ALAIN B.

Spectacular view

Sunset Perch

We could have just sat on the patio the entire time. Washing dishes was a pleasure because you could just stare out the window. The entire wall was windows so, wether you were outside or inside you see all the mountains and trees.

Wonderful treat!

Cozy Cottage

This is a wonderful place to stay. It is close to town and is in a quiet area and very clean!

Jeanine A.

Cozy cottage feel

Cozy Cottage

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.

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.

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.

Great experience

Sky Rock Lodge

We had a wonderful time at Sky Rock Lodge. The beds were comfortable and clean. The kitchen was well-stocked and there were plenty of linens. Spirit Vacations staff were all very friendly and responsive. The location was perfect; being able to walk to the creek and town was convenient. We will definitely

Michele Q.

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.

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!

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!

Beautiful retreat in the mountains

Treehouse Lodge

The Treelodge was a wonderful experience for me and my family while I coached at the summer music program. It's very spacious and equipped with everything you need. You step out into nature and walks all around. It's a 5 minute walk to town and next to a playground area for children. The house was clean, lovely linens and overall a fantastic experience.

Unwinding in the mountains a success!

3 Gazing Stars

Our family stayed in "Three Gazing Stars" for 8 days. We had a lovely experience. My 2 year old was loving just walking in the woods and throwing sticks in Lake Hemet and Lake Fulmor. The hosts were attentive and gracious. We were extremely pleased and the time away from the city was just what we all needed. We will be back for sure! The only quibble I had was that there are rattlesnakes on the compound. I know, of course there are! But it would have been nice to see a reminder note in the welcome folder to keep it on our mind. We found this out the hard way as our dog got bit by a rattlesnake. Not anyone's fault of course but it was an unexpected bill. He's better by the way.

Had a nice weekend, great view.

Lucky snow trip

The Spinning Wheel

Simply stated- we just got incredibly lucky with the snow in March, my sons had never seen snow and wow did we see snow!! The lodge was incredible, great location and just beautiful- if your looking for a cabin/lodge, look no further!!

Best place we’ve stayed

The Spinning Wheel

Huge , comfy , clean and cozy

Amy D.

Cozy place, beautiful yard

Lazy Bear Cabin

A private and comfortable getaway nestled in the quiet community of Idyllwild. We brought our dog and had a great 4 days relaxing by the fire in the living room together, and cooking up homemade meals. Very close to town- we walked there in 15 minutes. It was 85 degrees outside during our stay but inside the house remained very cool (even without AC). The only comment I have for improvements is the stove- one of the burners did not work. And when we checked in, we were told the BBQ may not be working. With the maintenance fees we paid for the booking, we hoped we were paying for maintained appliances. If you plan on grilling or cooking up a feast, you might want to call and check about the appliances ahead of time. Overall a good stay, I would recommend this place.

Emily A.

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!

Moms Birthday Weekend Getaway

Little Dairy Manor

The Dairy Farm was so lovey and well appointed. The uniqueness and charm added so much to our stay.

Kathy C.

Loved my stay!

Little Dairy Haven

My husband and I loved our stay. It was the perfect little cottage for two. The room was clean and had everything we needed. A mini fridge, hot plate, and utensils. Plenty of towels and an A/C unit inside. The hot tub was so great to have and made the stay extra special. The front desk service at check in and out was great too and they were very accommodating when we had trouble figuring out the outside lights for the hot tub. The place is also walking distance to the town which was an added bonus. Would come back for a quiet little get away again!

PATRICK J.

Small but perfectly located

Little Dairy Haven

Property is small but not tiny. It will be OK for a couple and feels very cozy. The private backyard isn't much, but the spa is spectacular, especially at night. The property is in a shared area with another house, so parking might be tricky if the other house has more than a couple vehicles. Just a few minutes walk from the main town area and great for star gazing or just generally relaxing.

Israel M.

Very nice house

Whispering Ridge Cabin

We enjoyed our stay in this house, very good for a families with kids.

Bogdan S.

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

Nice place for peace & quiet. Comfortable beds, a lot of areas for family. Close to town. Nice hot tub. I'd book again.

Stephen K.

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.

Cozy Cottage in the Pines

Hidden Heaven

Perfectly charming and comfortable cabin on the creek. Can't beat the location with the creek flowing and the walking bridge which gets you into the town in 10 minutes. The history and charm of the place is really special. Will be back!

Tracy P.

Love Knob Hill

Knotting Hill

My husband and I have visited Idyllwild every fall for the past 10 years. This cabin is, by far, the most beautiful view we ever had in a residence up there. It's beautiful inside too! Lovely southwest decorations in comforting colors. Sitting in the jacuzzi and looking at the stars at night can't be beat here!!

Loretta S.

Awesome house

The Pinnacle

Enjoyed our stay. The house is awesome, great for large groups.

A warm home for transformation

The Pinnacle

I lead a weekend Yoga retreat at the Pinnacle location. The home is so beautiful. Spectacular views and walking distance from the main village. New Spirit was accessible 24/7 and made sure our stay was comfortable and that we felt cared for. I will DEFINITELY work with this company again and have already recommended them to other facilitators.

Raquel J.

Perfect setting

Golden Lake View

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

Cedar hill cabin

Great vacation home

Rafael T.

Very nice and quite location

Bear's Den

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.

Michael H.

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!

Happy times with our pups

Peaceful Pines

We had a wonderful and relaxing time at this quiet and cozy cabin. The garden was perfect for our dogs to run around and the shady backyard was also a great place for our young children to explore.

Rachel L.

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.

Moonlight fue una muy bonita experiencia!

Moonlight Mountain Retreat

Nos ha gustado mucho la cabaña “Moonlight” es muy hogareña, grande, cuenta con todo lo indispensable para pasar tus días!
La recomiendo mucho! Yo si regresaría a rentarla de nuevo ❤️

Maria G. A.

Wonderful cabin in the mountains

Moonlight Mountain Retreat

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.

Jessica V.

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.

Paul S.

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

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.

Cabin by the stream

Hidden Heaven
