Home was removed from “market” last minute. Replaced with another random property.
Stayed here with a decent sized group of family & friends. Fits up to 3 families comfortably. Serene outlook to the woods. Recommend more for two or three couples who are looking for an eclectic getaway. Dick’s memorabilia throughout the place was charming. Just needs a good deep clean.
Nice cabin for sure. Close to town. Blood, Sweat & Tears pianist lived here. I believe it's his children's now. Good amount of room to move around for family of four.
Lovely rustic cabin on a hillside, adjacent to road but feels secluded with the surrounding trees. Close enough to town at a little over a mile but probably not that safe to walk with kids or when it gets dark. The cabin itself was very charming and functional. There were 2 bedrooms at the lower level and 1 bedroom at the main level. Nice big common room (with a piano!) and a well-equipped lovely kitchen. We cooked a breakfast and a dinner during our stay and found everything we needed easily (including modern appliances). The restrooms however are outdated and slightly less equipped, it was hard to give kids a shower/bath. The whole family enjoyed the musical instruments, great book collection, and board games. I would not advise staying in the peak of summer as we just did, it was very hot inside in the afternoon even with all the windows and doors opened, and box fans at the window, it might be due to not having cross-ventillation. In between exploring the Idyllwild area, we stayed at the cabin and hung out on the deck when we can, which was ample and had plenty of shaded seating. They had a picnic table with umbrella at the deck that the kids were able to use for activities and we also used for meals. Overall I would recommend this place and will definitely come back again in the cooler months!
Beautiful setting and home
Place is way better than advertised. Wish we could have stayed longer.
We had such a lovely stay. Family of 4 and a small dog. We enjoyed morning coffee on the deck and cozy fires in the evenings. The jacuzzi was clean and several beach towels at the ready. The beds were comfortable. Plenty of space to spread out. We enjoyed both pianos! We rated it a 5 stars. A few minor details to call out: 1) some people don’t pick up after their pets so watch your step when you walk out back. 2) the downstairs shower head is set at a position to spray out the door, close the curtain before turning on otherwise you’ll douse the bathroom floor 3) one of the stove knobs is broken. The off position doesn’t align with the other knobs, there’s a danger of slow gas leak.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This wonderful cabin exceeded my expectations! The photos don't do it justice. When you walk in, there's a huge fireplace & a grand piano in the front room, it feels like coming home. Giant wrap around windows and deck show all the beauty surrounding it: large pines & peek-a-boo views of the mountains. The cabin is very close to the town center, so that made it very convenient. It's about a mile walk into town, or a two minute drive. There was ample space to move around comfortably with the six of us. The kitchen has everything you need. We did not use the oven, which looked like a throwback from the 1970s, but all the other appliances were new. The decor & architecture is lovely and has a real cabin-in-the-woods feel about it. Some of the cabin components were dated, but that just added to the charm of the place.The management office was very professional & they even sent me a text during our stay to see if we were enjoying our stay. The entire booking process was easy & I felt confident things were going to be great well before our arrival.I would recommend bringing matches & kindling for a fire and avoid buying wood from this guy who was selling it from the back of his truck in the town center. We got ripped off... lol! I also suggest that if you're going to order wood from the company that New Spirit recommends, that you give them a three day notice before your arrival. Nowhere was it stated in the information that we needed to give them notice, so on the day of our arrival and request for wood, they were unable to deliver. No big deal in light of everything else being great & you can purchase wood in town from reputable sellers.Because this is a small town, there are limited restaurant choices. We were there during a three day weekend & it was impossible to find a place to eat that didn't have a two hour wait. I would highly recommend this company and their properties and

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was a beautiful location, the photos online were not the same when we arrived but it was still a very nice cabin. It needed to be aired out a lot and there was a lot of dust. Everything worked great and no issues, it was very hot in the cabin. Overall it was nice. I would recommend maybe having a bug guy come out for inside the cabin mainly for spiders as we got bite by one inside the cabin.
