Amazing

Cabin was nice and spacious, and walking distance to town. Even tho its very close to town, you still enjoy some beautiful views from the upper deck. Would've loved to have a gas fire pit out in the deck or down in the gardenarea.

Great place to stay for a family

Our family of 6 adults and 1 2-moth old child and 3 dogs stayed here this last weekend. Had a wonderful time. The house was great and close to town. Fantastic views from the deck.

Immaculate and spacious place a short walk from town

We very much enjoyed our stay with two families and 8 total adults/children (+2 dogs). The place was spotless and had plenty of room for all of us. The fenced in yard was large and a real plus for letting the animals run around. We had some minor issues with breakers and hot tub but the property managers were extremely responsive and came out promptly to fix things. An overall great weekend.

Perfect family gathering location.

This house was beautifully located with stunning views of Taquitz. The porches were the best place for coffee in the morning and grilling burgers in the afternoon. However, the evening visits just soothes the soul in the twinkling lights, under the pines and oaks of the side yard. The house has a well stocked kitchen, beds are comfortable and the sheets are soft. The layout of the house is well planned as the rooms are private and quiet from the rest of the house. We all left our weekend getaway feeling refreshed.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The place was great. The balcony is amazing, and there' a ton of kitchen supplies, no need to bring anything.The only downside is that there was a rat issue. We saw one in the kitchen and put traps out (they had traps there so it's a known issue) and we ended up catching one and had to trow it away.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home is a 24 hour delight. No matter the time of day as long as the moon is out, you can step out on the deck and enjoy the beauty and quiet of the Mountains. It is close enough to the center of town to hear the activities of the day waft over the pines but not close enough to become annoyed with traffic noise. Lots of stairs to help build your leg muscles through daily living. New appliances and the staff responded quickly to any of our concerns. Lovely visit.

Great Views, Undisclosed steep incline, Why pay a cleaning fee?

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Family and friends had a great time at the rental cabin. The views were great, the primary photo is spot on and the cabin was relatively clean. HOWEVER, there are number of issues that I had:1) The steep incline of the driveway. Don't know what the actual grade is, but had we not decided to park at the bottom of the driveway there's no way (even with AWD/4x4) our cars would have been able to safely go up and down the driveway in the snow. This is a detail that should be CLEARLY STATED IN THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY. The only reason I looked into it was b/c a reviewer happened to mentioned it was difficult to walk up the driveway. I looked at the streetview on Google maps and thought it would be manageable but no I was mistaken. Having to park at the bottom of the hill, we needed to carry everything up and down. Yes it builds character but "FEATURES" LIKE THIS HILL NEED TO BE PROPERLY DISCLOSED. I mentioned my concern to a rep and she state: "Well you should have done your due diligence." WTH..REALY2) Poorly maintained: Many areas of the cabin are poorly maintained. There is a bedroom on the ground floor that is clearly NOT insulated. The heater is not enough to keep the cold out, b/c the door leading outside isn't insulated. THIS SHOULD BE CLEARLY DISCLOSED or remedied. Tiles in the bathroom are separating from the walls, the bathtub is either leaking or was recently fixed b/c the wood flooring shows recent water damage (How do I know? B/c the other family that went with us works as a property manager for multiunits.) Toilet paper dispenser falling off the walls, broken microwave, cracked refrigerator shelving and slides...What is the point of collecting fees for cleaning and maintenance when it's not being done properly? 3) 3rd party rental agreement: I realize this may be a CYA b/c of the number people who seem to have forgotten simple rules we learn in kindergarten but there is another 7 page rental agreement that you MUST sign or can't get the

Spacious and cozy with beautiful view

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Stayed here to celebrate my bday last weekend and it was a wonderful time in the home, which provided all the amenities needed for a cozy weekend in with friends and family. The kitchen is stocked well with cookware and supplies. The outdoor space is very large with plenty of seating around the property, although we didn't get to enjoy much of it as it rained all three days we were there. It definitely can get warm in the upstairs bedrooms when the thermostat is turned up past 64 degrees, and the bottom bedrooms didn't seem to warm up nearly as much. Also no closet or dresser in the master bedroom or bedroom with king bed, which was weird and inconvenient. All in all, it was a lovely cabin and the staff at New Spirit were kind, responsive and helpful anytime we had inquiries. I recommend this rental.

Absolutely Perfect

I have been coming up to Idyllwild for over thirty years and my wife and I have enjoyed many beautiful properties together…but this amazing house is definitely now one of our favorites. The views are epic, the indoor space is super comfortable and spacious, providing plenty of room for our toddler to run around, without disturbing the adults! It has everything you need and more. We look forward to coming back! It’s an awesome location!!

What we needed

Four bedrooms, 3 baths- perfect for our family of 7. The 17 year old had his own escape on the lower floor. There was no access to get out for the little ones on the middle level. The adults took the top level. Be aware, heat rises. There was a floor fan to help in one room and the ceiling fan helped a little. Steep driveway, but has room to turn around, so no one has to back down. Is a short distance to town, but just the driveway alone and blind turn no shoulder road makes it not easily walkable. The town itself is adorable and welcoming to tourists. Good restaurants, shops, theater, street entertainment.

Hot tub not working, property manager unresponsive

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: If you're looking for a place to stay with a hot tub like we were, steer clear of this property. We were really looking forward to using it the entire time we were there (we purposely searched for a property with a hot tub; people do this as it's a sought-after amenity, so for them to have said when we checked out that it's just a "perk" of staying there isn't really accurate), so we immediately started heating it when we got there. It took nearly 48 hours before it finally hit its peak temperature, and when we used it, we were only able to sit in it for 15 minutes before it started beeping, throwing an error message. We called every day we were there, and two staffers did show up reassuring us it would work, but it never did. On the last full day we were there, we left a message and no one came by. We wrote an e-mail to the property management company to ask for some kind of recourse after we checked out, followed up by e-mail and phone and haven't heard back. It's been nearly three weeks. Disappointing to say the least.
