The house was furnished with everything we needed. So many bed options for our family. I could tell from the photos that some of the rooms had no curtains so I knew we’d be waking up at 7:30. It’s up in the hills above town. We played a lot of pool; that was a lot of fun. The deck and views were awesome. The hot tub was nice and clean and so peaceful at night. My husband accidentally left his tablet behind and they found it and sent it to us quickly for a reasonable price. Great house, great value, so peaceful.

Our group loved this cabin! The house itself is beautiful. All of the wood and tile is just lovely. It was very clean and the kitchen had all the tools we needed. Plenty of lounging/ sitting areas as well as dining spaces (there were two dining tables). The beds were comfortable and clean. The upstairs bathroom was gorgeous. What a treat to have fireplaces in several rooms of the house. We gathered on the deck a lot. To chat, have meals, enjoy the stunning view, and to use the hot tub. Definitely a highlight of the house.Families:We had kids ranging from infants - 12yrs old. Pack n plays fit in a couple bedroom closets which made bedtime & naps easy. There are no blinds or curtains in the windows of this house. We really enjoyed this (you’re surrounded by so much beauty), but it is something for families to note if they are used to dark rooms. Also, in the twin bedroom upstairs there are case windows that open. I really like these and think they add a lot to the space, but there are no screens on them & they are on the second story. This was a huge safety issue for us!The bonus room on the top floor was perfect for all the kids to hangout. And they all enjoyed wandering the property. The game closet was impressive. Communication was clear. Check out process was simple and clearly laid out in binder. (Thankful we didn’t have to strip beds before we left.)Overall we loved it here and hope to stay again. Highly recommend!

Christmas Cabin

Moonlight retreat was beautiful! It was already decorated for Christmas with a tree and all! The layout is quirky, in a good way! So much woodwork, really felt like we were in a cabin! We were super close to town, but you wouldn’t know it. Lots of hikes within a few minutes. The deck was incredible, comfy, and the views were great! Hot tub was wonderful and stayed hot! It was so peaceful and relaxing all around.A couple things to note, no curtains on most windows, so it’s bright, but beautiful to wake up to Mountain Views. Cabin road was steep and windy so we were grateful there was no ice or snow, otherwise it could have been tricky getting to the cabin. Overall, we would definitely recommend this cabin! We loved our time here!

Gorgeous Mountain Setting for Large Families

We had a large family with 5 children. Everyone had a place to sleep and plenty of area to play. We cooked almost all meals and the kitchen, breakfast nook, and large dining room table were great. The property was fun -- climbing, hiking opportunities everywhere! We set up a telescope on the deck for the moon at night and the acorn woodpeckers during the day. We would definitely come back! Negatives: We tried to contact the property owner 3 times with questions and only got a response once. Also, we ran out of toilet paper on day 2 because no extra was stocked. We were reassured that some would be delivered, it wasn't, and we had to go to the store and buy some.

Great nature retreat for a friend group!

Went here with my book club and it offered the nature and serenity we were looking for. Expect the property manager contacts to potentially take a few hours to answer questions on the weekend - but overall they offered a straightforward check in and check out process and I appreciated their binder in the living room as a reference for house rules!

Mice in the house, missing window & door screens

It's a shame but this property is not well kept. I have been coming to Idlywild for many years staying in vacation homes. This is the first time I have stayed at a property that was unacceptable. Aside from little things I did not complain about, like the outside decks not being cleaned (covered with dust, pollen and no cushions put out), as well as cobwebs everywhere, window screens missing, no sliding door screen, meaning we could not open them because bugs, birds and critters can get in, along with little air ventilation because master fan was not working and it was hot - we were faced with mice in the house. Apparently this was not a new problem as we noticed later there were little traps of which one had a fresh dead mouse in it in the cushion closet. The mice we saw started late at night, running in the game room and middle dining room, one was in the closet climbing the walls. We noticed there is a gap between the garage carport wall and floor in the game room where they can come and go freely. The management company did find us a new place at 11:30 at night which was appreciated but they did not adjust the price as the other place was smaller and rented for much less per day. Needless to say, bad experience overall. Hopefully the problems at Moonlight have been addressed by now- ask before booking.

Very disappointed!!!

I hate to leave this review but I hope it will help other people when booking in Idyllwild. Due to windows and doors not sealing, we had an issue with mice starting the evening we checked in. New Spirit was very helpful by bringing traps to help take care of the problem. However, even with the additional traps, we continued to see mice throughout our stay. On the day before we checked out, there were baby mice in blanket used by our grandson. On top of the problem with mice, the house was extremely warm due to not being able to open all the windows. Most of the windows were missing screens so they could not be used without letting bugs getting in the house. We were not able to utilize the upstairs bedroom with single beds. It was too hot to sleep in that room. We were in communication with New Spirit Vacations throughout our stay. They were extremely helpful. The last night they moved us to a different house that was much nicer. I would not hesitate to rent one of their houses due to them making up for the issues during our stay. However, I would not stay in this house until they address the mice, screens, and a few other maintenance items.

Awesome family retreat!

PROS: Excellent communication with the property management! Check-in and out was quick and easy. Loved the location. A little hard to find at first, and the directions they gave us from the check-in location to the cabin were incorrect, but once we found Foster Lake Rd., it was a breeze. LOVED the layout of the cabin. Unique and spacious, yet cozy. Perfect for 10 people. We were all very comfortable. Our ages ranged from 3 to 50 years old and we all loved partaking in the game room amenities and Smart TVs. The record player and record collection were a nice touch. Even the 20somethings loved listening to the Doors and Eagles albums. AWESOME views from the balcony and patio. So peaceful and quiet outside! Woodwork and wood accents throughout the cabin are gorgeous. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Loved that there was a small market close by in case we needed food or supplies. CONS: Disrepair issues: Broken blinds, loose toilet seats, peeling paint and torn shower curtain in downstairs restroom (and shower curtain wasn’t waterproof), BBQ grill table is wobbly, torn patio cushions, broken oven door (bottom left door), worn carpet on stairs. Cleaning issues: Cabin was tidy, but once we settled in we noticed dusty furniture and ledges, caked-on grease splatters on kitchen windows above stove, cobwebs in corners, windows & glass doors heading out to the patio needed to be cleaned/squeegeed, a leaf blower to porch and patio would have been nice, some ceiling light fixtures had dead bugs in them. Some of these issues could be alleviated by having a good bi-monthly deep cleaning. Only a bottle of Windex was provided. No disinfecting cleaners for kitchen or restrooms, nor Pledge to clean the wood tables or wood accents. Outside BBQ grill (small silver one) has no grease catch tray, so grease leaks onto the table when you use it. Also, one propane tank didn’t work. Overall, we all had such an amazing time and created great family memories here! We’d definitely love to stay here again and would highly recommend it to others if the disrepair and cleaning issues are tended to. RECOMMENDATIONS IF YOU PLAN TO STAY HERE: Sleep masks (There’s no curtains/blinds in certain rooms), Keurig machine if that’s your jam, cleaning supplies, about 6 nightlights for those late night bathroom/kitchen runs, a metal grill spatula for grill outside, and at least one good knife for cutting food (the kitchen knives they had were very dull).
