Little Dairy Haven: Romantic and Charming Studio with Spa!

Welcome to Little Dairy Haven! This charming cottage is the perfect escape for a romantic weekend getaway, whether you're with a loved one or enjoying some peaceful solitude. As you step onto the property, you'll be captivated by its country charm, with each detail carefully crafted to reflect the history of the land as a former dairy farm. Little Dairy Haven is a cozy studio that provides all the essentials for a comfortable stay, including a plush queen bed. The kitchenette features a microwave, a hot plate, a standard coffee maker, and a mini-fridge. Stay connected with Wi-Fi and a TV, though please note the Wi-Fi is best for light browsing (a hotspot is recommended for streaming or video calls). The bathroom boasts a walk-in shower and a skylight, letting you gaze at the clear blue sky while you relax. Outside, the fenced-in yard allows your furry friend to enjoy the space alongside you. The hot tub, available year-round, is the perfect way to unwind no matter the season. Located in a historic farmhouse village dating back to the late 1920s, Little Dairy Haven is just a short 5-minute scenic walk through towering pines to town. This property has everything: charm, romance, modern amenities, a great location, and a meaningful history.

Great stay with room for improvement

Good check in process, you go to the office location to pick up keys before heading to the property. Property was fairly clean, both inside and out but the floors were not fully swept, hot tub was completely dissassembled for 2/4 days, and only one heater worked slightly so the room was freezing the first night. Good for summer but probably not winter.

Dairy cottage

It was nice although we could have done without the trench on the middle of the yard. The bedspread and pillow cover smell of sweat and lastly the cable did not work.

Loved my stay!

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: My husband and I loved our stay. It was the perfect little cottage for two. The room was clean and had everything we needed. A mini fridge, hot plate, and utensils. Plenty of towels and an A/C unit inside. The hot tub was so great to have and made the stay extra special. The front desk service at check in and out was great too and they were very accommodating when we had trouble figuring out the outside lights for the hot tub. The place is also walking distance to the town which was an added bonus. Would come back for a quiet little get away again!

Definitely a studio

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. 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: The cottage was nice. Quaint, clean enough and had some charm. Small kitchen, but nice to have a BBQ grill to work with. The yard, however, was something else. Overgrown, unkempt, with a creek running through it which flooded most of the property. Granted, I know it's been a wet year and the water is everywhere, but maybe a raking and weed whack would make quite a but of difference. Overall, we didn't think it was worth the money we paid, but hey, you win some and lose some...

This is run by a 3rd party Management Company

I thought I was renting from the home owner when I booked this. But no… it’s some 3rd party management company with terrible reviews. They have 2 out of 5 stars. Search Google Reviews and Yelp for New Spirit Vacation Rentals before considering booking this.

Hello Mel, I do not see that you reported anything that was wrong with the home. As we do not have anything in your reservation to let us know that you were unhappy with the home. I do know, that you wanted to cancel on the 4/26, as you did not like all the documents that needed to be signed. Then you went on to say the home had some bad reviews, in which you were offered to be moved to another home, if this is why you wanted to cancel, yet, you declined that offer. I am sorry that you were not happy about your stay, I wish we could have known there was something that you were not happy with, we would have made it right for you. Sincerely, Sylvia Operations Manager

Very relaxing and private. Never got internet, which according to the property manager is common in Idyllwild. So, I wouldn't come here if you needed to get work done. But for a relaxing, no tech trip, it was wonderful!

Filthy and disgusting!

I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The absolute worst place we've ever stayed in our lifes. Filthy! Spiders crawling on the walls, cob webs everywhere, shower that not only didn't drain, **** came up from the bottom, no TV or internet. They sent Amber over to fix it bit she couldn't so she told us to watch a "disk". Who travels with DVDs?? Fire hazard outlets, boards with nails sticking out, a **** heater that didn't get above 63 degrees in temperatures in the teens. You could get MERSA in that place. Absolutely should be closed down. Only one amenity worked.

This was absolutely, by far and away the most disgusting and terrible place I have ever stayed in my life. My husband and I wanted to get out of Los Angeles for a cozy, romantic ten year anniversary getaway. Check in isn't until 4pm and check out is at 10am. This place is around 100sqft and absolutely filthy! Why did we pay a cleaning fee?? Cob webs everywhere, spiders crawling on the walls, the fan blades are covered in thick dust, the "white" window curtains are stained and filthy and a dingy yellow color, the shower doesn't drain while you're using it and in fact, crap comes up from the drain. Other peoples, hair, fur etc... This place advertises soap and a TV. We had no soap in the bathroom and the TV is internet only. That was fine until it just shut off 10 minutes after we got there. We called and they sent someone named Amber over to fix it. After she she couldn't fix it she suggested we watch a "disk" for the night. My husband and I don't travel with DVDs nor should we have to when paying for this amenity. There was one DVD that someone had left which was "The Deer Hunter". I guess we were expected to have that on repeat until the following day. Amber said they'd send someone over the next day to fix it. No one came and no one called us. A heater that doesn't get over 63 degrees in overnight temps in the 20s and boards with nails sticking out. Plus fire hazard outlets! Close this place down!!
