Charming 1937 Vintage Cottage 2 bedrooms/ baths,(Sleeps 4) walk to town/creek

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!!!

The check in process made me feel like I was closing on a house.

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.

Great location! Perfect for a family vacation.

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: My small family and I had a wonderful 3-night stay at Fern Valley. With unusually warm weather in January, we took advantage of hanging outside each day, and my 2yo loved exploring and gathering sticks and rocks from around the property. The home itself was quaint and very clean. And it was an easy walk into town. Overall, I recommend this rental and would stay here again.

Due to unforeseen circumstances we did not stay at the property we originally booked. Monica was an excellent host and was able to make arrangements for us to stay at another property even though it was on a busy weekend and almost everything was already taken. We were given the Serenity cabin which was a lovely place. What could have been a disaster and a major disappointment was avoided by Monica and her quick thinking staff. We were able to have a wonderful time celebrating our anniversary in beautiful Idyllwild

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We spent 4 days in Idyllwild with our dog, the cabin was perfect for a short stay. The check-in was easy and on time, and check-out was a breeze. The cabin had everything we needed, a nice fenced in outdoor space, a well supplied kitchen, and super comfy beds. The location is also nice, it's a short walk into town and a quiet neighborhood. We will definitely look at other spots in the New Spirit portfolio for future getaways.

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.

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

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!

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!

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.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Place was very clean and perfect location. I've been around the place several times over the years since my mom lives across the street. 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.

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.
