This house is in a great location barely five minutes drive out of town. The house is the perfect size for a group of 6 adults. We loved the multiple places to get cozy and relax. The manager was super responsive and even dropped off a broom for us.

Wonderful large cabin. We spent most of time on the awesome deck and in the spa. Large windows all around to see the beautiful scenery.only a mile from town, where you will find shopping, pottery painting. Movies restaurants and a decent brewery.just be sure to bring eye mask for sleeping as most of the windows do not have coverings and the sun comes up like, well, a giant fireball in the sky! Overall had a great time and are planning to return soon

This is a challenging review. The people at New Spirit Vacation Homes were fantastic. Very friendly and quick to respond. Idyllwild was lovely, unique and quirky. The house location was serene. We got to meet Max the Mayor, who happens to be one of the most beautiful Golden Retrievers you will ever meet. The issue was with the house. It is very dated. Lights on the deck stairs don't work. My wife is vision challenged and getting to the hot tub was dangerous for her. No blinds or shades on the windows. Privacy was not the issue, it was sun rise as the two main bedrooms face east. The lovely green carpet going upstairs is threadbare, maybe original? Probably should have been replaced ten + years ago. The pool table needs to be refurbished or replaced. Two pool cues whose tips fall off. The bumpers are falling down. No rack. One ball is chipped. We will go back to Idyllwild and be happy to use the management co. If I was them, I would refuse to manage this house until updated.

This vacation rental was perfect for our family (7 adults and 4 young children)! Big, bright, wood throughout the home. Beautiful views of the many deck levels. The only request would be that it had blinds or curtains on the multitude of windows.
