Hear from our guests about their experiences with New Spirit Vacation Homes.
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.
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!!)
We loved staying at the View, it's our second time. We hope to make this a yearly tradition. Working with Monica & Nikki at New Spirit is fantastic.
This is the place you will never be regranted the money you paid. Either with friends or for a family getaway.
Came here for a long weekend with our extended family and had a great time. Lily Rock is a super well equipped house and a wonderful space, we couldn’t have asked for more.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lily Rock. The cabin is beautiful and the views are stunning.
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.
Great, eclectic rental with lots of outdoor space. The staff at New Spirit was helpful and cheery!
New Spirit Vacationa Services was exceptional with their service :) Nicole and everyone else was awesome with a pleasant friendly attitude. They answered all my questions promptly and professionally. They made the process so easy. The cabin was comfortable and just the right size for my husband and I. It had Everything we needed for our getaway. Loved the wood burning fireplace and the trees surrounding the home. Loved the deck and sliding doors to easily access the deck for views. The home has plenty of windows for sunlight & the view. The kitchen has great counter space too! Good home layout. Plenty of bathroom counter space too. Luv the bedroom with the sliding patio door and tree view. So pretty in the day and night. Large deck! Luv that this cabin is in a private tree setting but Close to town. Perfect location. Tip: the TV in the photos *is Bigger* than the photo.
We look forward to our next stay here!
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.
Went up during the snow storm. Had a great time. The yard is awesome. I will rent it in the summer so we can use the back yard and bbq. Loved the old stove.
My family had a pleasant stay during our short gateway to Idyllwild. Kitchen was fully stocked, hot tub was working great, plenty of towels and overall a very a nice place. Convenient to Idyllwild hiking trails and easy to check in and out. Yard sitting area looks to be in a need of a maintenance. We didn’t use it so it did not affect our stay. Plus there is a dinning table on the patio.
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!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with my kids and I. Great location, lovely back patio and the sounds of the running stream added perfectly to the ambience. Fully loaded kitchen made it easy to prepare our Thanksgiving dinner! . Check in and out for very easy and your staff is so very friendly and sweet..... sorry I wish I remembered her name
The place is beautiful and peaceful. Atthe back there's a stream of water flowing. We went to a lake that was also so serene and it's very close. Overall, my experience was amazing.
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 perfect retreat for a family and friends. Our daughter loved exploring the property and we all really enjoyed the layout of the space. Plenty of privacy with the separate upstairs and downstairs. An amazing library of books and games to enjoy and an absolutely beautiful deck with the most epic views of the mountains and rock formations surrounding Idyllwild. The hosts are so accommodating and friendly as well. Definitely will come back.
The house is cozy, clean and has everything needed for a perfect stay. We felt welcome and comfortable. Highly recommended!
We really liked the house, It was very clean and comfortable. If you are staying there and using the heat .. the downstairs gets really hot and the upstairs is chilly.. Close the downstairs vents for solution. The property management company is wonderful and caring. We needed a dvd cable and they came out on a Friday night and are very cheerful and professional. Location gets a 3 as it is a steep road and driveway and if you do not have a 4 wheel drive ice on the road can bea bit of a challenge. Overall a good experience, nicely laid out lots of room
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!
My family and I had such a great stay at Dairy Manor. You can feel the love and inspiration of this home in every single room, there is so much charm and character everywhere you look. The home’s age gave it so much of its beautiful character, yet you still have all the modern essentials needed for your stay. I never thought my sons (ages 5 & 8) would enjoy a home as much as they did at the Dairy Manor. Our stay here in Idyllwild was exactly what we needed as a family, shutting out the world of 2021, connecting with each other, and with Mother Nature. I honestly couldn’t be happier then I was with The Dairy Manor!
Our stay was absolutely perfect. We wanted a quiet little getaway in the mountains, and it was exactly what we got. The addition of the hot tub may have been the best part! Proximity to the town was hugely helpful, just a short walk in. The only thing I would recommend is more floor mats/rugs (the floor gets cold in the winter),and perhaps a second wastebasket for the bathroom. Otherwise, I cannot recommend this place enough!
We enjoyed our stay in this house, very good for a families with kids.
Loves the place specially the balcony view , definitely 5 star
Our original rental was cancelled suddenly, and we were offered this house--a really, what a gift that was.
The home is spacious and quiet. The kitchen is well stocked (though items like sugar or oil may need to be purchased), and the hot tub is dreamy.
The tv has wifi compatibility and some apps (Netflix for sure)--but the tv is pretty tiny and there is a VCR (no DVD).
The home is very close to city center--it is walkable. We strongly recommend the doughnut shop in town.
We loved the house and the hot tub on the deck was the best! 180 degree view with no other homes in sight. I welcome getaway and we would definitely stay here again.
The Hidden Heaven lived up to its name. They didn't say in the ad, but you can skip across Strawberry creek into the park and walk 5 minutes to the Idyllwild Brewpub... pretty awesome. Beautiful cabin and setting!
I had a great and peaceful time at the residence. Location and views are phenomenal. The property is well kept and has many amenities which includes a jacuzzi.
This house is such a beautiful house ! If you’re thinking about booking, stop thinking and book ! We’ve never been to Idyllwild, but we absolutely love this area ! This house is located in a perfect area. Close to town, & this area also had so many hiking trails available ! I can’t say enough about this property & area !! Thank you New Spirit ! We will be back !!
Beautiful, peaceful property with unique view, enough room for big family/friends reunion , walking distance to downtown and trails.
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!
We came here for a grief retreat with our therapist and the setting was absolutely everything we expected
Great place and very comfortable. I would like to add that the driveway is steep, the car port extremely small ( able to park a van but a real squeeze to get out) and the railroad ties are loose and uneven. Plenty of dishes, silverware and cooking utensils. I would stay here again.
Enjoyed this cabin very much. It was spacious and easily fit 7 people. The Jacuzzi was a plus! Very quiet neighborhood.
We had 5 wonderful days to spend with our 2 dogs and older kids. They delivered wood for us and the home provided all necessary needs to stay in the best comfort. The balcony view was amazing! Watched the hawks screech and soar right over our heads. The home doorways was blessed and we felt warm and protected. The tub is in the floor which was weird but cool! The loft bedroom again wake up to a beautiful sunrise over looking the mountain trees and some snow. This is our 2nd time with Spirit. Love love love it!!
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!
This was our second stay at Peaceful Pines fka Cricket and like the first time it did not disappoint. They have everything you need, especially for you dog owners. The backyard is absolutely amazing. We still had lots of snow on the ground and the dogs loved it. This property has true pride of ownership and you can tell the owners use it themselves.
The cabin was perfect for family of nine (5 teens, 4 adults). The best feature was the beautiful view on the ample deck. After long day, it was nice to be able to relax in the Jacuzzi, play pool, and enjoy a hot meal that we cooked in the well-stocked kitchen. We would return here in a heartbeat. Bring sleep eye masks so the sun doesn't wake you in the morning. There are no windows coverings in the bedrooms.
Moonlight Mountain Retreat accommodated our family of 8 with ease. Plenty of bedding and towels, and i was pleasantly surprised to find even the mattress cover on the pull out couches were clean! Kitchen was well stocked. It was quiet, peaceful, and really a beautiful setting, yet just a few minutes drive to town so it was easy to make as many trips as we wanted. We had lots of fun with the pool table and shuffle board, and the multiple TV’s were great. The house is so unique and all of the wood working is gorgeous. Even though it was extra hot weather and the house doesn’t have AC, the rental provided fans, there is actually quite a bit of shade over some areas of the house, and at night the temp was perfect for sleeping with the windows open. We would definitely stay here again.
The place was perfect for our needs. Comfortable, clean, and beautifully appointed.
Wonderful location for family getaway. Away from the crowds, but only 5 minute drive to town. Spectacular view from primary bedroom! Floor to ceiling windows!!
Clean, rental company very helpful, easy check in and easy to find, quiet neighborhood, great view
