We always enjoy New Spirit Vacation Rental properties in Idyllwild. This home was the perfect size, head family friendly, and close to town. Would recommend.

I booked Alpine Lodge, but shortly before my stay I was told it was “unavailable due to maintenance issues” and was moved to the A-Frame Cottage instead. Unfortunately, the replacement property was unacceptable. Upon arrival, the front door was unlocked, and the provided access code didn’t work, leaving us unable to secure the property. The downstairs bathroom toilet seat was dirty and broken (never fixed during our stay), and the bedding throughout the home was filthy — covered in hair, stains, and food crumbs. Clean bedding wasn’t replaced until the following day, so we had to make do the first night. We requested a partial refund for the first night due to these conditions and were told we’d receive a response within 24–48 hours, but it’s now been four days with no update or communication. Overall, the experience was stressful, unprofessional, and far below basic hospitality standards. I would strongly caution anyone considering booking with this host or management company.

Had a great time at the cabin over Labor Day weekend. The hosts were super easy to talk to and the house was as advertised. We traveled with our 3.5 year old and 7 month old and the house was perfect for what we needed. It was actually very child friendly and safe, much more than we expected. We enjoyed walking to town easily (a 8 minute walk) and the serenity and beauty of the location. We didn't run into any of the issues that other reviewers listed. We'd definitely stay again.
