  Kathy D from Comfort, TX recommends this vacation rental

  We enjoyed our stay at Highgrove Retreat very much. Everything is provided that you need, plenty of towels, pillows and blankets. We were only there for 2 nights, but took advantage of the outdoor jacuzzi during the day, the fireplace in the evening, and rented movies from Redbox at the grocery store to watch in the downstairs media room. The kitchen has a lot of cooking utensqgils and a Keurig coffee maker, as well as a regular coffee pot. We had snow on the deck, but full sunshine in the daytime. The view from the deck is beautiful with the snow covered mountains in the distance. There is a table with 8 chairs and 2 other chairs to sit on the deck. The 2 upstairs bedrooms are open loft type, so you can hear what goes on in the other bedroom, but that was not a problem for us. We brought our little Shih Tzu with us from Texas, so we were very pleased that the property is pet friendly (Misty enjoyed it very much also). The only thing I would caution about is the driveway is steep and somewhat narrow. We parked about half way down and it was no problem. The town of Idyllwild itself is charming, we ate at an Italian restaurant and a Mexican restaurant and both were very good, we only wished we had more time to enjoy more. It looked like there were several good restaurant choices.

  Dawne M from Riverside, CA recommends this vacation rental

  What a perfect fall get away! It was still warm enough to sit on this amazing deck after hiking--all six of us--with a vista beyond description until sundown. In fact, the porch/deck is wrap-around so we did morning coffee on one deck and appetizers and wine on the other. I chose this place because it accommodated the six of us comfortably. Other places had views but only tables to seat four. The inside was lovely, the kitchen totally equipped (except for coffee filters)and the beds in all three bedrooms were comfortable. The place was very clean and there were many windows to let in lots of sunshine and fresh air for a cross breeze. Next time, we'll try to stay longer.

  Jenny S from Encinitas, CA recommends this vacation rental

  New Spirit Vacation Homes is a great company. Monica and her staff are warm and responsive. We brought a baby gate but it didn't fit so they dropped off a baby gate for us!
  HIghgrove Retreat is a great location. Close enough to town and so private with an amazing view. The spa was clean and not overly chlorinated. The home overall was great, modern kitchen, comfy beds and clean bathrooms. The carpet could have been cleaner, but that is expected with a pet friendly home. Also, the driveway can be daunting for a large vehicle. It is tight and the paving is towards the end of it's life. We have a large truck and eventually got used to it. It's best to park in the side space to the right of the driveway.

  Sarah H V from Richmond, VA recommends this vacation rental

  We came to Highgrove for a calm bachelorette weekend and had a wonderful time. Staff were incredibly helpful with the few small issues we encountered and the view was amazing. The only thing I think would be helpful to note is that the second-floor bedrooms are partially open to the first-floor living area, so there isn't much privacy. Overall, though, we greatly enjoyed our experience—thanks, New Spirit!

    Hello Sarah, Thank you for your review on our Highgrove Retreat property. We are so happy to hear that you enjoy your stay at our property.

  Jerry Y from Rancho Mirage, CA recommends this vacation rental

  We have rented cabins in Idyllwild four times. This is the first cabin that we could see ourselves coming back to every year. Getting to the cabin was a breeze. The views are amazing. The cabin is clean, and well maintained. The kids loved hanging out in the spacious media room. The only minor inconvenience was the long narrow driveway. You could not ask for a better management company! Thanks for a very relaxing wonderful stay. John, Jerry and kids.

  This was a great place to get together. The view and deck was perfect. The village is only 3 miles away so it is in a good location. The cabin is very cute and there is plenty of room to fit a big group without feeling cramped. Waking up to the view was fantastic.

  heather h from huntington beach, CA recommends this vacation rental

  The views were amazing, the jacuzzi was hot and didn't need any adjusting, the kitchen was spacious and fully functional, and the 3 beds and comfy couches slept our party of 8 very comfortably. Although the cabin was in a neighborhood, the houses are spaced out and not crowded, giving it a secluded feeling. The rental office was friendly and very easy to work with. I would definitely consider renting this home again.

  Tara C from Temecula, CA recommends this vacation rental

  We had such a great time. There were 2 families, with a total of 9 people and we had so much space. We went up for the snow and didn't have to leave the property. We were able to sled and build forts and snowmen right on the property. The views were amazing and the house itself was super nice. The staff we rented it from was so easy to work with and always got back to us right away with our questions. Loved every minute of it!
