    We had a lovely relaxing time. The cottage was lovely Unfortunatly there weren't any cushions for the outdoor furniture and the spa is very much smaller than the photos suggest. All in all a lovely stay.

    It was an old primal cabin vibe. The location was really nice and had a backyard that made you feel like you didn’t have neighbors. We absolutely loved the spa.The staff was quick and efficient with anything we needed.

    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: This was our first time renting through New Spirit Vacation Homes, although we've stayed in Idyllwild for years now. It was easily one of the best experiences with using a local vacation rental business. They were very accommodating and friendly throughout our stay. I also they think they have a great selection of cabins to choose from and I can't wait to experience another one! The Lazy Bear was adorable, full of special touches and vintage charm. The bed was super comfortable and I slept great. The kitchen actually had nice cookware and knives! What a surprise! We had no problem cooking all of our meals. We truly enjoyed the ambiance of the cabin between the great fireplace, comfortable furniture, and outdoor space.

    Warm and cozy and so close to the town! The hot tub was nice and toasty and the cabin itself was a decent size with very homey and warm vibes. Absolutely recommend!

    Not happy about all the cobwebs and spiders. We actually had some crawl on us! Overall, old and uninviting home. Will not stay again.

    Everything would have been perfect, except for a couple of minor things that would have made all the difference in feeling welcome. I was terribly disappointed to finally get to relax in the cabin, it was evening, I was looking forward to starting my weekend with a nice shower, only to find no soap. NO SOAP? Even the cheapest hotels give you shower soap! That is not something I think to bring with me. We ended up using the antibacterial liquid hand soap. Yuck. I could overlook that, but the next miscalculation on the part of the welcome committee caused a Homer Simpson scream to emanate from my trying-to-have-an-amazing-weekend mouth early in the AM... : no coffee filters. The brochure lists amenities. The amenity listed is a coffeemaker. HOW WOULD I KNOW WHICH COFFEE FILTERS TO BUY AND BRING WITH ME??? This is an unforgivable oversight. The cabin is amazing, the property managers and all employees were amazing, yet these two simple details could have changed my whole perspective on life for the good. Instead, I will have to ask stupid questions next time I'm trying to book a cabin that will get me labeled as a control freak, yet I have PTSD now. Since bad experiences can make other things seem bad, I was also quite disappointed to learn the hot tub does not go over 99 degrees because of the locked temperature settings. 99 degrees is not very warm for a 30 degree +/- night to gaze at the stars and forget our troubles. Having said all that, the property was lovely. Having the aforementioned discrepancies remedied would have made the price per night of the cabin worth it.

    I really liked this property for its size, location, and decor. It has two bedrooms and a smaller room with a futon that someone else can sleep on, making it more like 3 bedrooms. There is no central AC but there is a ceiling fan in the main room that cools down that area. In one of the bedrooms there was a fan, otherwise it would've been too hot to sleep. Everything was very clean and comfortable. It is super close to the main town area, which made it great for going into town and coming back easily. Also, just FYI, the hot tub is inflatable and not like a regular hot tub, but it's nice. The outdoor area is perfect for relaxing.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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 had a pleasant stay at the Lilac House. Close enough to town, but far enough away for peace and quiet. Kitchen was fully stocked for meal making and the bbq was an added bonus. The main room was very comfy and cozy for relaxing, reading or watching tv. Plenty of seating inside and out to enjoy the hone and outdoors. The snow all around was very pretty. Property management was wonderful and friendly. Very accommodating. Thank you so much. Would definitely recommend.
