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: This is an older cabin with numerous upgrades. It's convenient to Idyllwild's downtown, about two miles away. I have stayed there twice and find it to be a good value at around $100 per night, give or take. The bedrooms are small, but the living area is pretty big. The dirt driveway might be a challenge for some in wet or snow. We also enjoyed $2 Taco Thursday at La Casita.
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Definitely rustic. It's an old cabin that creaks when you walk, has no AC (which is a surprising want given the altitude), and other quirks, but it's cozy, quiet, and did the job!
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: Rented the cabin for a week. Very peaceful and quiet neighborhood. Cabin was very comfortable on the inside. The outside deck it’s little rough and needs to be treated with something soon or it is going to become a potential safety hazard in the near future. It was in the high 60s for the day time highs when I was there so it was comfortable in the cabin during the afternoon. With no AC and only ceiling fans it will probably get a little uncomfortable on a hot summer day. Overall, New Spirit staff were nice and helpful and I will certainly consider staying at one of their properties in the future, but I would probably not rent the Black Fox cabin during the hot summer months if I was going to be spending much time there during the afternoon and early evening.

This is a great older house. Even though it’s not fenced in there’s so much area & land for the dogs. Definitely would stay here again.
So we started out I had two places on the screen two different screens one was in idyllwild one was in big Bear I accidentally reserved the Idlewild when I found out it was my wife did she called it was probably like a half hour after I reserved it they said they couldn't cancel it they couldn't give us a refund. when we were looking for a place we were looking for a place that we could bring our two dogs they're small under 20 lb, so we did pay the pet fee with the VRBO and all the other little fees. Check-in is at an office in Idlewild not at the house usually they'll have a pin code pad you can get in with. There was a lady in front of me that was having a discussion with the lady behind the counter about already paying the pet deposit but the lady behind the counter kept saying no she didn't and she goes yes I did on the site it says pet deposit paid she charged her anyway she said she would look into it but she took the ladies money anyway because what is she going to do go back down the hill no. I get up to the counter she's asking me these questions and then she goes how many pets do you have and I said two she goes oh we only charge you for one of course it was $70 for one pet I guess now not a pet fee so she paid charged me another $30 because what am I going to do go back down the mountain no. I told the lady she has the upper hand she could charge me whatever I'm not going to pack my family up and go back down the hill and lose all the money that we already got charged for the place so it's kind of like a free for all. the company's name is new spirit vacation homes cabins and resort properties, I will not be participating in business with these guys again. This is too long already the place was really run down the furnace didn't work it was below freezing I did leave some firewood there so I burned a fire till 2:00 till I got too tired they did give us a late check out because of the furnace which was nice I appreciated that that's why I gave the three stars on some of them.
We arrived at the cabin to find no heat. We contacted the property manager who sent over maintenance staff. They told us the furnace was old and worked sporadically. They got it going but it shut off again and couldn't be restarted. The portable heaters drew too much on the circuit so the breakers would continually blow. By the way, the circuit breaker was housed in a open box that was completely exposed tothe elements. Each morning we woke to temperature in the cabin in the 40s. After another conversation over text about the heat, we were told our best bet was to keep the fireplace going. Hard to do in the middle of the night. Next we found the oven didn't work. A problem for a family holiday dinner. The maintenance folks came out again and figured out how we had to slowly ramp up the temp to keep our running. And to top that all off, we discovered what appeared to be bedbugs. When we brought this to the attention of the property manager, we were told that they weren't bedbugs because they don't live at elevation. This is completely false! We have the bites to prove it. All of our luggage and clothes has to be offloaded outside our home and laundered prior to being brought inside to avoid infesting our home. As you can see, the holiday vacation we paid a premium for was an absolute nightmare. This cabin should never have been considered rentable by any standard.
Everything was clean and well stocked. The location was perfect. Short drive to everything. Will stay here again.
