Hear from our guests about their experiences with New Spirit Vacation Homes.
My friends and I celebrated my 31st birthday at The Dome during the first weekend of December. We couldn't have asked for a better retreat where we could cozy up and play games, use the hottub, and take in some much needed r&r. To say this cabin was the definition of relaxation would be an understatement. It also had everything we needed to cook our meals and make ourselves at home. We all agreed we will make an annual trip up to Idyllwild and wouldn't think of staying elsewhere.
First of all we picked this place because two of my friends has both been there last year, and when i got there, i really understand why they recommended this place:
1. Super privacy with breathtaking views.
2. Outdoor Jacuzzi with stars allover the sky.
3. Outdoor BBQ with big patio.
4. Huge Private parking lot.
5. Comfortable rooms with bright natural sunlight.
There are more and more to talk about this place as it truly make us feel like a GETAWAY trip. We will for sure be back soon!
Lovely and clean and well stocked for a rental cabin. Easy to get to and a perfect get-away for anyone looking for a quality place.
The New Spirit Team - just simply amazing. Made it so easy for us.
The house was extremely clean, well appointed and well maintained! The house's amenities - furniture, windows, blinds, heat and air, appliances, wood stove, spa, etc. were all near top of the line and in very good repair. We prepared and ate all our meals there and found everything we needed. The one working television in the living room was a little small but came programed with everything! We spent a great deal of time on the beautiful deck, and yes, there was some minor road noise but nothing intrusive. It was a great weekend, and we will definitely be back!
We had a wonderful time at Lily Rock!! Loved the cabin- it was terrific!
Perfect place for a quick getaway. Property is near trailheads and stays cool because of the tree cover. The view from the deck and master bedroom is beautiful.
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.
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.
I was in town for a wedding and everyone at this company made my stay easy and enjoyable. The location was gorgeous and just what I was looking for. I've already referred friends to this company and will use them again.
This is a wonderful place to stay. It is close to town and is in a quiet area and very clean!
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.
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.
My family had a great time at this lovely cottage. We enjoyed feeding the blue jays, walking to town and perusing around the area checking out the views. Would definitely stay at this cabin again.
Sky Rock Lodge is very comfortable. We loved the location, the property itself, and the layout of the house. The kitchen was easy to use, the bedrooms private and nice, and the deck was lovely to have breakfast outside. We were lucky and saw live music every day of the 3 days in town and experienced a short thunderstorm!
Very happy with everything! Loved the white notebook with all of the importance information!
it was perfect plenty of room, beautiful views, clean and useable. We all loved it.
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!
We had a wonderful, cozy weekend retreat. Proximity to the main town was very convenient and we loved the house's little upstairs TV nook.
This is the second year that we have stayed at Treehouse Lodge over the Idyllwild Art Walk and Wine Festival weekend. Treehouse Lodge meets our needs for our family and is in walking distance to the village which we really like.
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.
The view is awesome. Close enough to walk to downtown. The house is really nice - I wish I owned it. Plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms, and a nice big living room and patio... We could not have had a better time. And a big thanks to New Spirit - I consider myself lucky to be a return customer.
As soon as approaching Crestview, front outlay of the cabin is very warm and welcoming. As soon as walking inside, your presented with ample wide living room that is very beautiful and esthetically pleasing and stress free. Big ample kitchen to cook and host friends and families and not to mention warm heating to counter the cold overall, my family and I were very pleased with crestview lodge!
Overall, I would describe our stay at the Lilac House as magical. The home has a cabin in the woods rustic feel that made us feel that we were alone in the woods despite being in the middle of a neighborhood. We spent mornings with Campfyre Coffee on the deck and evenings in the hot-tub watching the stars. My only complaints were the lack of curtains on the front windows, and some windows didn't open or needed to be propped to stay open but, added to the rustic charm.
I took my father on 3-night get-away in Idyllwild. We needed a one level home and a hot tub. This home was ideal. The beds were comfortable and the cabin was very cozy. The only complaint I have is the shower in the second bedroom. I could not adjust the water temperature and could not use it.
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 house was unique, big and very clean. Great location and 1/2 mile walk to town in the snow was fun!
Great location. Walking distance to town, yet tucked away in it's own neighborhood.
We loved our long weekend in Idyllwild at Golden Sunshine. This is a very charming, welcoming home with everything you need for a relaxing weekend in the woods. The kitchen was well-equipped for cooking great meals, the living spaces were great for playing games, watching movies and hanging out with friends. We spent some time playing games on the deck and would have loved a few more adirondack chairs for watching the sunset, but other than that we had the best time. Would recommend for couples and families looking for a spacious home in a relaxing environment with excellent views. Also, an easy 7 min drive to town for food and amenities.
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 here very much. The home very spacious and the bedrooms were very comfortable. The master bath with big tub and skylight was awesome. After a long day outdoors, we like to get cozy and the fireplace was so nice. The main living room furniture could use some updating with a larger sofa and bigger TV. The blinds were a bit difficult to put up and down. The bedding seemed old and could use new duvets, comforters and blankets. Overall, this place was great.
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.
I call this the perfect home. It was easy to find, the inside was clean and beautiful. I will definitely rent this home again with pleasure.
From start to finish, we had a perfect weekend getaway. The cabin was very cozy, every room showed attention to detail in the way it was decorated and stocked. The atmosphere both inside and outside was very beautiful and peaceful.
This house has a great view and was very comfortable for our family. It had everything we needed. It stayed warm with all the snow.
Place was beautiful and well kept. Only complaint would be that the hot tub did not fully heat up until the 2nd day. Otherwise, we fully enjoyed our stay.
Beautiful and spacious home with incredible views. Our friend group of 11 stays at a different vacation home each some for a weekend reunion and this home was by far a favorite. Hosts were also kind and quick to reply.
Anthony and the staff were very accommodating and helpful. The directions and description were very accurate. The house was super clean upon arrival.
We loved it and want to come back.
We had a very nice time. The cabin was well stocked and very clean. We would love to stay there again.
We had a really nice stay. Monica was extremely responsive when we needed something. The views from the deck were stunning. The kids also had so much fun and we would stay here again.
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.
Our time in the Bears Den Cabin was exceptional. Plenty of room and the kitchen was fully stocked with pots, pans and flatware. We did have a you bird stuck in the fireplace when we arrived but we got him out safely.
Stayed here for a quick weekend getaway. The moment you walk in you are blown away by the view. It gets even better when you walk up to the master bedroom. Definitely coming back. The house is a little old, but everything works great.
Can’t wait to come back to this property - gorgeous views!
We were impressed by this home the moment we drove up and the good impressions kept coming as we entered. It’s a beautiful place fully equipped with all the items you need to enjoy your stay. The unit was spotless and so well decorated. The kitchen is equipped with everything down to spices and olive oil. The jacuzzi was great and private, we used it everyday. The lot is large and we enjoyed watching the rabbits, squirrels and many birds. The bbq worked well too. We did lots of walking the neighborhood and also into town most days. It was a lovely stay.
This is such a lovely, impeccably decorated cabin that feels like home. It is the most well-stocked cabin we have ever stayed at! Anything we looked for in the kitchen or otherwise, was there!
We spent a weekend here and couldn't have asked for more. The staff was incredibly helpful and the cabin was amazing. Well stocked, lots of unexpected amenities, and overall a great stay. We'll definitely be back!
My children, grandchildren and I celebrated an early Christmas and this spectacular home met and exceeded all our expectations. Moonlight Mnt Retreat is well worth the money. It was clean, well maintained and had plenty for the youngsters to keep them entertained. The views from the amazing deck are breathtaking and a fabulous gathering place for the adults to relax and enjoy each others company. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare a traditional Christmas feast. Hats off to the owner and New Spirit Vacation Homes for providing such an amazing home.
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!
