If you want to be enveloped by trees but close to town this adorable cottage is perfect! We loved everything about the house but the deck was our favorite place to spend time. We liked it so much we'll be booking it again.

Everything about the cabin was excellent. But AFTER I paid, to complete the process, I was asked to sign an extensive rental agreement, provide THREE photos of my driver's liscence AND a selfie. If that sort of thing doesn't bother you then this is a great place to stay.

Loved the Mountain View and the outside sitting areas. Also like being just a short drive from town yet felt like we were in the woods with privacy. The kitchen had everything we needed. Did not see a hot tub? Was in the listing but we did not see one - but it wasn’t important to us.

Cozy, peaceful cottage.

Nice and comfortable place surrounded by huge pine trees. The decor was a throw back to the 70s, but I kind of liked that. Nicely equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds.

Second stay with my family and it was wonderful

This was my second time staying here with my family and it was perfect. The cabin was well equipped and we didn't need to bring anything besides our clothes! I was able to cook all meals in the kitchen. The location was perfect and close to town but far enough away from noise to make a peaceful experience. Will go there again!

Amazing private cabin****

This cabin had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Kids had a lot of fun with the ps3 and Wii that were available. Also, the cabin was very private surrounded by trees and nature.

Lovely mountain retreat

Beautiful property and very clean and comfortable home. We loved the spacious second-floor great room with large windows looking out into the trees and mountains. Both bedrooms open onto the large front deck where we enjoyed morning coffee. The jacuzzi tub was wonderful after some long days and we were very pleased with the good quality cooking ware and well-stocked kitchen. Definitely hope to come back again.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness

It was a place to stay. It had the basics. However, the heater didn’t quite make it to the rooms so we were cold each night. No wood stove was present. No dishwasher either. The house was to different from the photos. I know there was a statement saying to bad, but with how many things were different, it should warrant updated photos. The table was different, couches were different, carpet was different. Lights were different, no wood stove, no dishwasher. Oh, and the neighbors have a horse. Who doesn’t abide by the quiet hours. So at 3am each morning, we got to listen to the horse 5 feet from the window. Oh, and the deluxe package for 199 bucks. That was a joke. Maybe 60 bucks worth of cheap wine and candy. The “assorted” nuts were honey toasted almonds. The dozen roses were real, but the pedals on the bed were as fake as the listing. Total waste of money. We won’t be staying here again.

little get-away

Cabin is quiet and cozy-secluded area surrounded by trees- cabin a bit run down-remote control issues, no batteries or low batteries- damp towels hanging in bathroom-damp sheets and towels in dryer- kitchen and bath very clean Check-in would have been better at 3:00 and honestly too far to walk to town where you would have to walk on the main road without a sidewalk, unsafe.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location.

The cabin was adequately stocked. The lot was beautiful but right next to another cabin.

Hello and Thank you for your review. We are glad you enjoyed the cabin and that it was adequately stocked. During the winter we do recommend AWD/4WD to get to the property. There is significant distance from any other cabin for adequate privacy to enjoy the scenery on your front deck. We hope to host you again, the summer time is an excellent time to visit the mountains! Warm Regards, Janet New Spirit Vacation Homes Idyllwild CA
