We loved the opportunity to stay at The Dome in Idyllwild and were wowed at the spectacular views from the property.

My wife and I need a remote, relaxing and romantic place to spend our 30 Year wedding anniversary- boy did we find it! The deck at night surrounded by stars and soaking in the tub was .....dreamy!

Perfect

Great open floor plan, everything was perfect. Kids had a blast and we enjoyed the peaceful getaway.

Had a great time in Idyllwild. The house was great, lots of nice personal touches. The setting is beautiful, really feels out in the wilderness but just a couple of minutes into town. We will definitely return.

Amazing Place, everything worked just fine!

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.

We had a lovely time, the "Cozy Cottage" does indeed live up to its name :) This quiet, peaceful location is ideal and yet its proximity to the town is a real plus :)

My family had a wonderful time in Idyllwild. The cabin was cute and rustic. It suited our needs perfectly.

The cabin was adorable with lovely inspirational sayings decorating every room and cute wooden bears and squirrels all around. The neighborhood was beautiful for walking the dogs in and the cabin's proximity to town was a real plus. The heat worked well in the master bedroom suite, but never seemed to warm up the family room, which is where we spent much of our time. I was disappointed to find there were no spices in the kitchen nor was there any cooking oil, which hindered our cooking ability. Luckily I brought everything else we needed from home. The property management was mixed. One woman working there was clueless and completely inflexible. I had called from home and was told unequivocally that there was a DVD player in the unit. There was not! Also, because we hadn't cleared out at the stroke of 10 am and despite our having phoned several times to inquire about check-out time, this same young woman insisted we would be penalized with a late check-out fee. The cabin was truly a gem; the property management staff was not.

This was a great place for a getaway. Close to town, lots of space for 2-4 people and a lot of outdoor space. We will be back!

Sky Rock Lodge was a delightful and cozy cabin retreat. Ample space for the four of us, lovely fireplace, windows to enjoy the outside snow, space for games, great kitchen, private master bedrooms and an unbeatable loft bedroom. Although we had extra beds and could have taken one of the masters, three of us chose to share the cozy loft! Management went above and beyond servicing us... kudos to each of them, thank you!

Didn’t have to leave the cabin. Everything and anything was available we are all in our 70s and 80s and we had a wonderful time

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.

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!

Perfect for 7 adults and 2 kids. Extremely well equipped, roomy, and comfortable. It was close to own. We come not have had a better home. Thank you NewSpirit!

Had a great time with the family at this spacious and beautiful house. Highly recommend!

Had a nice weekend, great view.

This wonderful cabin exceeded my expectations! The photos don't do it justice.

When you walk in, there's a huge fireplace & a grand piano in the front room, it feels like coming home. Giant wrap around windows and deck show all the beauty surrounding it: large pines & peek-a-boo views of the mountains.

The cabin is very close to the town center, so that made it very convenient. It's about a mile walk into town, or a two minute drive.

There was ample space to move around comfortably with the six of us. The kitchen has everything you need. We did not use the oven, which looked like a throwback from the 1970s, but all the other appliances were new.

The decor & architecture is lovely and has a real cabin-in-the-woods feel about it. Some of the cabin components were dated, but that just added to the charm of the place.

The management office was very professional & they even sent me a text during our stay to see if we were enjoying our stay. The entire booking process was easy & I felt confident things were going to be great well before our arrival.

I would recommend bringing matches & kindling for a fire and avoid buying wood from this guy who was selling it from the back of his truck in the town center. We got ripped off... lol!

I also suggest that if you're going to order wood from the company that New Spirit recommends, that you give them a three day notice before your arrival. Nowhere was it stated in the information that we needed to give them notice, so on the day of our arrival and request for wood, they were unable to deliver. No big deal in light of everything else being great & you can purchase wood in town from reputable sellers.

Because this is a small town, there are limited restaurant choices. We were there during a three day weekend & it was impossible to find a place to eat that didn't have a two hour wait.

I would highly recommend this company and their properties and

Huge , comfy , clean and cozy

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.

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!

I’ve been renting g from new spirit vacation rentals since 2021 and I love all their homes very clean accommodating the rentals this rental is very close to town we walked to town it’s just down the street about a 10 min walk very quiet and the home had air conditioning a plus it was very hot 4 th of July weekend very large home it says 4 bedroom but can easily be a 5 bedroom plenty of room and beds me and my family enjoyed our stay I’m never disappointed with new spirit rentals highly recommend

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

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.

This little cottage was the PERFECT one-person-plus-dog getaway destination. We came up from LA for the 4th of July week to escape from the fireworks mayhem in the city, and I'm happy to say the loudest noise we heard the whole time was the tree frogs. This is a sweet little cottage, with all the amenities that were promised: total privacy, comfy bed, TV (once I figured out how to use it), good wifi, nice kitchen and bathroom, enough space to spread out a bit, a fine hot tub, and best of all, a private fenced yard for the dog to run around in. We hiked a little, went to town for coffee and groceries, and I had a wonderful massage down the road. I'm so happy to have found this little haven of peace and quiet.

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.

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.

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our two day visit in the cool fall of Idyllwild. We were up here for a birthday celebration. The home is beautiful and located in a secluded area. The art throughout the home is just beautiful. Being a New Mexico native, I would love to know the history of the Native American dress. There was plenty of room and the hot tub birthday BBQ was a treat. I will be back.

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!

My brother and I had a wonderful brother's getaway weekend at this super charming and cozy hidden heaven hideaway. Loved the authentic retro vibes, the babbling creek just outside, woodland visitors on the back deck (had woodpeckers, blue jays, robins and grey squirrels all on the back porch trees at one time). Lots of snow prevented us from driving to town, so we walked. It wasn't far and was quite nice to do so. Everything was comfortable and clean, and the rental company was helpful, friendly and accommodating -- and the rental price was very reasonable, especially in comparison to the big rental sites and other more popular nearby mountain towns. It was our first time to Idyllwild, despite living in LA for most of our lives, and we loved it. Not an 'active' town like Big Bear or Arrowhead. More sleepy, hippie and artistic, which is/was our speed generally anyway. If this cabin allowed dogs, we'd be back with the whole family on a regular basis. But since it doesn't, and we understand that - this is a pristine 1930's cabin - we'll just have to keep it as our brothers-only getaway.

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!!

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.

Beautiful spot. Took the family of 9 for three nights and we were all pleased. Great vacation home for a large group of people

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!

Lovely Stay at Cedar Hill during a big snowstorm!
The cabin is great for a large family.
The roads were icy and shaded in the neighbourhood . They hadn't seen snow like this in 19 years -according to one source. Have chains with you ��

Such a rad experience,from check in to check out !! The house was perfect , highly highly recommended this spot as well as the rental company

We loved our stay at Bear’s Den in Idyllwild for two nights for a quick getaway! We are a family of fine including three grown boys. We hiked the Ernie Maxwell trail one day for an easier hike and then we hiked Devil’s Slide the next day, which was a little longer and more strenuous. We loved relaxing on the deck among the beautiful trees before getting ready for dinner both nights. Then after dinner we loved the jacuzzi!!! We didn’t need the kitchen too much, but it was nice and clean. We had more than enough space for the five of us and we would definitely stay there again! We didn’t walk anywhere from the house. Everything was a which drive away.

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!

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!

Loved our 2nd weekly stay once again. The home is very nicely appointed. The large fenced back yard was loved by our 2 puppies. Adrain from the office was awesome and took care of us with a discount coupon to several places. Thanks Adrian

We enjoyed staying here during a winter storm. It was WONDERFUL! And what a beautiful cabin!

Lovely trip for 2 families! Lots of space for sleep and play! Really enjoy all the mountains had to offer. It was hard to find on the map and not well described but otherwise wonderful

We loved this home. My husband and I both needed a getaway from the city, and it was so beautiful and serene. This house is an absolute dream home, beautiful architecture, stunning view, incredible deck, and still cozy and comfortable. We'd love to stay there again.

We absolutely loved staying at the Lily rock Lodge!
The house is extremely spacious with an open concept downstairs. We enjoyed all the games that were available to us, including a pool table and a Magnetic dartboard, as well as organ to play. We had 4 children and it kept them occupied��

The house was very clean and fully stocked with everything you could think of in the kitchen and the bathrooms! They even had towel warming rack in the downstairs bathroom.

The Jacuzzi was very enjoyable and extremely clean. It stayed on the entire time which was nice. We did not have to worry about turning it on or off the temperature was perfect.

The cabin itself was beautiful, beautiful location, and gorgeous views! the driveway was extremely easy to get in and out of.

The Cons:

The upstairs floor creeks very loudly throughout the entire upstairs, if you are in the downstairs bedroom, it is extremely loud. there was a large leak in the downstairs bathroom from the upstairs shower and when we called the property management, they came out and dealt with it immediately.

The only other complaint that I would have is they charge $50 per hour for early check-in and late check out.

I do recommend this cabin to others. We had a lovely time..

We spent 3 nights at Big Rock Creek Lodge and enjoyed every minute of it. The amenities are fantastic, the deck has a wonderful view with the calming sounds from Strawberry Creek, and everyone had a great time. My kids (7 and 5) really enjoyed the bunk beds and playing the different games. Would highly recommend, but there are several things to mention.

1. This is a nice home, meaning the wooden floors, countertops, and decor need care and attention. Not recommended for those with untidy children, as it will stain or damage the property, which means $$ from you.

2. The creek is not hikeable. There is private property all around.

3. The check in/out is a slight inconvenience, but an inconvenience regardless. You have to pick up and drop off the keys at the main office. Out of 20+ short term rentals I've stayed in, never have I had to drive to an office, find a lockbox out of 30 on a wall, and get the keys.

4. The really long emails and archaic contract PDFs just add to the inconvenience. I understand the need to convey important information, but please format it properly rather than sending 1000 words (yes, I counted). Also, contracts should be via an e-sign provider, not PDFs to fill out, scan and email back. And at the very least include check in/out and pricing details in the PDF before sending it out rather than having the customer fill it out.

5. The property managers are very responsive and easy to communicate with. It was nice knowing that I could send a text and get a response back within minutes typically.

Loved this property for our wedding party to stay! It was a beautiful location and we were even able to use the location for our first looks and wedding party photos. They have a beautiful waterfall in the backyard and stunning views from every level of the outdoor deck. Driveway is very steep but as soon as we figured out going down backwards was a bad idea everything was much easier! We would love to stay here again in the future!

Our group of 6 had a great experience. The beds were comfortable and the rental company was responsive and helpful.

This property is a great place to go to to get away from it all. Uninterrupted views, overlooking Idyllwild. The house was perfect for our party of 9 adults. Plenty of space, excellent facilities and close enough to walk to town. The sunsets were perfect from the hot tub.
