Family-friendly home that is close to everything

My family loved our stay at this cabin and wouldn't hesitate to stay again! The home is very well-stocked and comfortable. We also loved having a fenced backyard for our pup and toddler to roam around. Though the home is private, it is very close to everything, including the town center and nature center.

Lovely little getaway

We had a lovely, but too short, stay in this sweet cabin. We appreciated the fenced in back yard for the dog, and that it was walking distance to town. Everything we needed was provided and it was a great experience for us!

Amazing!

This was our first trip to Idyllwild as a family and it definitely did not disappoint! The location was perfect! The house was well kept and we had everything we needed! If I had to leave any negative comment it would only be that I wish the T.V. was a little more modern. We wanted to have a movie night but we couldn’t log into any of our streaming services. Other than that everything else was absolutely PERFECT! We can’t wait to return!

Not dog friendly

We stayed at this property 2/24-2/27. The listing stated that this property was completely fenced for dogs. In fact, it is not. The front gate has an area adjacent to it that is completely open and goes out into the street. I had to harness my two dogs whenever they needed to go out. They could not just roam on their own. It was completely inconvenient for me to keep doing this throughout the trip. We ordered a bushel of firewood for $25 to be delivered. This wood did not burn. It is not seasoned. We tried kindling and fire starters. All it created was a bunch of smoke. We made the owner aware of these things and requested a $25 refund for unused wood that we had to leave at property. We never heard back. Unacceptable. We visit Idyllwild every year and will not be using Vrbo or staying g at this cabin.

A true gem!

Our first time to Idyllwild and it was eventful! We loved being able to have our dogs with us the owners of the property were very accommodating (Thank you!) We learned that Riverside County has specific noise monitoring device requirements, which the rental management also explained to us ASAP and put us at ease. These devices actually help keep Idyllwild quiet and peaceful, which is why we wanted to get away to begin with. We also accidentally locked ourselves out of the property and the management company came to the rescue within mere minutes! It was impressive. Granted I had to hike around to get cell service, this place really is a "get away" haha. The cabin was adorable, so well decorated with bears, woodland animals and the garden was beautiful. I took note of many of the plants to try to grow at home. My daughter loved the old bathtub and stopper. Beds were cozy, and loved all the low cabin-y lighting. We met the Mayor, walked the shops, stopped by the museum, and hiked. My daughter left her slippers and they called to see if we needed them back or if we wanted to donate them (donation it is!) We really needed this little vacay. We will be back!!! Thank you for everything!!!

Charming vintage cabin with an over abundance of cabin decor- we counted 55 word/phrase signs /sayings on the walls, 28 bears, 16 squirrels, 8 moose/deer, 10 owls and 28 birds. There is a lot of personal stuff and not many places or surface area for their guests to use. BIG downside- only the primary bathroom shower works- the 2nd bathroom only has a tub with no shower. This was a big deal for us as the 2 full bathrooms was the main reason we rented this place. Communication was not great due to the fact this is through a 3rd party vacation rental company (would recommend going to them directly vs. Expedia/VRBO). Bottom line- it’s a very sweet vintage cabin that has a lot of charm but seems very personal to the owners. The yard is wonderful and there is a fully fenced portion off the back that the dogs can be supervised off-leash. It’s like visiting your grandma’s place- friendly, full of memories and a lot of stuff!!!

Amazing stay at this classic historic cabin. The cabin and the fun decorations exceeded our expectations. The property is large allowing our dog to roam free in the back. The kitchen was appointed with everything we needed to make great meals. Excellent time

Idyllwild rental

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cute cabin but management company is poor. Can't keep doors open to the outside, which is why you're in Idyllwild in the first place. Screen doors are not fully sealed so bugs and other ground creatures can enter home. Ants on the kitchen counter and animal hair on rug in den was a problem as well.

We rented because we had extra family and it worked out great. I wish it was better weather, but that's how it goes. Idyllwild is a great little community. If the need arises get rent again, we certainly will.

Check in like closing on a house

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Two issues. I just rented for night and made the reservation the night before. I then got a complicated email asking me to copy my license and credit cared and sign a several page contract. The agent was nice enough in the office , but would not rent a property from them again since I am taking a few days off to get away from paperwork, not add more. Also the number was not on the unit and we weren’t clear that we were in the right place. Paid over $400 to stay and because the unit was decorated with yard sale furniture and the bed was squeaky I would not recommend. Perhaps if priced at less than $200 it would be worth it.

End of year get away

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: 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.

The cabin was as described for location and amenities. It was comfortable and quiet. The one thing that we were not pleased with was the added on pet charge of $210 for our 6 day stay with our dog. We specifically looked for pet friendly properties and made our reservation thinking that this property had the price included in the rate that was charged when we made the reservation. Other properties we looked at had the pet fee outlined in the stated rates and we thought this one did as well. This was most disappointing to have it not fully disclosed in the daily rate quoted.

Turkey Time in Idyllwild

The property was exactly as advertised. Our family went up to Idyllwild, CA for Thanksgiving week and it was most relaxing. We brought our food up to the cabin and it worked out perfectly. The cabin was walking distance to the town and we loved feeding the bluejays.

Great cabin!

We really enjoyed our time at the cabin! It was very clean and had all the basics we needed. The WiFi worked great and I was able to work from the table in the backyard. Our pup enjoyed the large backyard and we liked sitting in the front yard too although she had to be on leash as the driveway was open to the street. Thank you for providing the nuts for the jays. It was fun to watch their antics along with all the hummingbirds. We hope to stay here again!

Amazing Property

This property had so much charm and character inside/out. Having stayed at many rental homes in the past and in Idyllwild, I will look no further. The house was warm and inviting. The kitchen was well stocked with all the utensils and cooking items needed. The very large fenced property was great for my dogs and had so many charming seating areas and decorations. Highly recommend this property. Looking forward to going back in the snow.

Adorable mountain cottage!

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: Cottage was exactly as described and better than expected, a little bit rustic but also clean and spacious. Homey touches made it feel like we were staying with old friends. Town was fun, lots of cute shops and good food. My only recommendation is that air conditioning would be a welcomed addition. We came on what turned out to be a very warm weekend and it got a tad warm in the late afternoons. The other unexpected issue was there was only one shower. It says 2 bathrooms which is true but one is a bathtub without a shower so we all had to share one shower. Again, the positives outweigh the negatives and I would stay there again happily. Everyone I dealt with in the office was so nice and helpful. Can’t wait to stay again. Thank you for hosting us!
