This is a sweet little cabin perfect for our family of three. The deck is a nice spot to look at the trees and stars at night. It was a warm, fall weekend, and we appreciated the table fans to keep it cool. There were no hand towels for the bathroom. Good location. Short drive to town.

Post Mother’s Day getaway

We loved the ambiance. It was a perfect location, just out of town and very quiet. The deck is amazing and views of the trees out every window was exactly what I was hoping for. We absolutely loved the original kitchen and cabinets throughout. Would highly recommend!

Good rustic cabin

It has a lot of character and a great fireplace. Looking out over the deck you only see trees. chipmunks and squirrels frequent the deck. A few deer also wondered by.The kitchen is well equipped. We would stay here again.

Beautiful location with a great view of Tahquitz. Away from the crowds and wonderfully quiet. Superb back deck, just great for lounging around on. I couldn't get the TV to work (though that may have been me), but I really didn't miss it.

Serenity Cabin - Fitting Name!

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 a lovely time at the cabin. The kitchen is the highlight of the house, and a 1960s gem. Great location to hikes and town. It was cozy and warm, although we had trouble perfecting a nighttime temperature for sleep. I'd recommend this one for a couple's weekend, or trip with two little kiddos.

Lovely place to stay

This home was very clean and comfortable! The owners have done a wonderful job of keeping the home well maintained! After you reserve this home, you'll receive an email note from the Property Manager, New Spirit Vacation Homes, asking you to fill out and sign some forms. When you arrive in Idyllwild, you will pick up the key to the home at New Spirit. We enjoyed watching the birds and other wildlife from both the back deck and front porch. We were even able to stay dry during a rainstorm, while sitting on the covered front porch. We greatly enjoyed our stay in this home!

Quaint Cabin

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the location of the cabin and all of the quaint decor. Our only complaint was the bed. My husband and I both can be very picky about beds and our quality of sleep. The cabin would be perfect if the mattress in the main bedroom was upgraded. Otherwise, the cabin is wonderful.

Antiquated check-in process.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The sign up and check-in process felt like something from 1970. The cabin was neat and cozy, and had everything needed for a pleasant stay. We were without water for an evening overnight until 10:00 the next morning. They didn't offer anything for our inconvenience. Customer service was good & friendly, and I would recommend this place to anyone and would consider staying here again.

Started out great....

First off, the cabin is really cute and a decent location. There was a lot of dust and a dirty sock under a bed so that was kind of gross, but not the worst of it.Unfortunately, on our last night there, the power went out due to windstorms. It was around 9pm and we were on our last 2 logs for the fire. It was in the mid 30s.Our child was already asleep. As we knew it was about to get really cold, I tried to contact the host, but our cell phones were out of range and the landline was out. We couldn't have even left the property as there were power lines that had fallen behind our car. We were - essentially - stuck.Obviously, the power and wind were not the fault of the host - however the host could have a generator (like the other cabins around) as this isn't an unusual occurrence, or, more realistically, could at least leave some firewood unlocked in case of emergency - a large supply was locked up outside so we weren't able to get any add'l wood (we would've stocked up in town had we known). We ended up gathering all the blankets and sheets in the house and sleeping under those. Once it was light enough outside to pack, we bundled up and got out of there. Thankfully there had removed the power lines overnight.The host never checked on us at any point in time or to follow up after the fact. It'd be nice if they'd have checked to see if we'd froze to death.

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We're very sorry to hear about the challenges you experienced during your stay—especially during what sounds like a very stressful situation. We appreciate you acknowledging that the windstorms were beyond anyone's control; however, we understand that not having access to additional firewood or a backup power solution, and feeling isolated during the outage, was both unsafe and unsettling. Your comments regarding the cabin's cleanliness and the lack of follow-up after the power outage are concerning. We strive to ensure our guests feel cared for and safe at all times, and it’s clear we fell short in this instance. We’re taking your feedback seriously and are reviewing our emergency protocols, including the possibility of keeping a backup supply of firewood accessible, to better support our guests in unexpected situations. Again, we apologize for the discomfort and inconvenience you experienced. We appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention and will use your feedback to make improvements for future guests.
