Moonlight fue una muy bonita experiencia!

By: Maria G. A. Trip Date: 2024-02-23
Nos ha gustado mucho la cabaña “Moonlight” es muy hogareña, grande, cuenta con todo lo indispensable para pasar tus días!
La recomiendo mucho! Yo si regresaría a rentarla de nuevo ❤️
great place!

By: Tom Trip Date: 2023-12-26
Lots of space with fun amenities. Bring chains if there’s any chance of snow.
relaxing winter family retreat

By: LETICIA L. Trip Date: 2023-12-08
The cabin was perfect for family of nine (5 teens, 4 adults). The best feature was the beautiful view on the ample deck. After long day, it was nice to be able to relax in the Jacuzzi, play pool, and enjoy a hot meal that we cooked in the well-stocked kitchen. We would return here in a heartbeat. Bring sleep eye masks so the sun doesn't wake you in the morning. There are no windows coverings in the bedrooms.
Beautiful Retreat

By: Anonymous Trip Date: 2023-07-26
Moonlight Mountain Retreat accommodated our family of 8 with ease. Plenty of bedding and towels, and i was pleasantly surprised to find even the mattress cover on the pull out couches were clean! Kitchen was well stocked. It was quiet, peaceful, and really a beautiful setting, yet just a few minutes drive to town so it was easy to make as many trips as we wanted. We had lots of fun with the pool table and shuffle board, and the multiple TV’s were great. The house is so unique and all of the wood working is gorgeous. Even though it was extra hot weather and the house doesn’t have AC, the rental provided fans, there is actually quite a bit of shade over some areas of the house, and at night the temp was perfect for sleeping with the windows open. We would definitely stay here again.
Beautiful home

By: Elizabeth G. Trip Date: 2023-07-14
This is a gorgeous house--it's clearly handcrafted with beautiful custom woodwork everywhere. It's spacious and the views are just like the photos--lovely! You can see neighboring homes if you try, but otherwise it's as if you're alone in the woods. The furnishings are generally high quality--nothing from IKEA--and the rooms are spacious. We loved that there was good gathering spaces but also space to break off into smaller groups or have solitude. What didn't we like? Well, the two kitchen chairs were broken and unusable. There were other spots were some maintenance is indicated. There were a number of dead insects in the house--I guess that they maybe sprayed before we arrived. The layout is a bit odd, so it's hard to get to a bathroom, for example, from some rooms. We really needed a place with minimal stairs, and this met our needs well. There's only two steps in to the house, and there is one very nice bedroom on the main floor. It was hot for our stay, and the primary bedroom on the second floor has a window air conditioner. There are also multiple fans. We enjoyed ourselves very much!
Fun home and incredible view!

By: Anonymous Trip Date: 2023-01-04
This is a really nice place for adults and kids alike. 2 game rooms and a jacuzzi! The view of Lilly Rock (Tahquitz) is breathtaking!
Beautiful home in quaint setting

By: Laura M. Trip Date: 2022-12-28
Our family spent time between Christmas and New Year at the home. Everyone had a good time. We were a little caught off guard when the anticipated snow flurries turned into quite a blanket of snow and we weren’t able to get our All Wheel Car out of the driveway and down the hill without sliding. Fortunately a guy named Kevin, on the snow assist list available from the rental company, came and dug us out for a reasonable price. The rooms were a bit cold even though there are a number of portable heaters, but they also provide a lot of blankets. The kitchen has most items you would need, including a crock pot, pans, baking utensils and plenty of plates, bowls, etc. The coffee pot had some issues in draining the water through the filter, but we made it work. All in all, a lovely home. We may try again during summer months when we can take greater advantage of the outdoor decking. Finally, the work working features throughout the home are amazing.
Moonlight retreat

By: Melinda H. Trip Date: 2022-07-20
We had a great time at the Moonlight Mountain retreat. The house was clean, spacious and so fun with all the amenities offered. We especially enjoyed the deck space. We went during a heat wave but we were comfortable at night as it cooled down and there were plenty of windows, fans and a room air conditioner in the master suite. We will definitely be back!

Response from New Spirit Vacation Homes:

Hello and thank you for such a great review! We do hope to see you again soon. Reach out to us for a return guest discount! Warm Regards, Janet New Spirit Vacation Homes
Amazing Home and Amazing Staff!

By: Anonymous Trip Date: 2021-12-20
We spent a weekend here and couldn't have asked for more. The staff was incredibly helpful and the cabin was amazing. Well stocked, lots of unexpected amenities, and overall a great stay. We'll definitely be back!
Had the best time.

By: Anonymous Trip Date: 2021-09-17

Spectacular, Secluded, Amazing Deck, and Stars!

By: Jane K and Chris S Trip Date: 2021-08-11
Rented this amazing home for a "girls weekend" that included hiking, cooking, jacuzzi-ing, star gazing, concerts in town, and playing lots of games (pool, shuffle-board bowling, guitar playing, etc.). The house is amazingly secluded (and some of the girls took advantage of the private deck working on their tans!). It has a great view of Tahquitz and, while amongst trees, has a sufficiently open canopy to watch the stars! As always, New Spirit Vacation Rentals was there to accommodate. It is so secluded that they even had to guide us to find it turn by turn. And oh it was worth it!!!
Great time had by all

By: kelley p. Trip Date: 2021-07-29
Lovely trip for 2 families! Lots of space for sleep and play! Really enjoy all the mountains had to offer. It was hard to find on the map and not well described but otherwise wonderful

Response from New Spirit Vacation Homes:

Kelley, Thank you for your review on our Moonlight Mountain Retreat. We are happy to hear that you guys enjoyed your stay. We will review the map and directions to see if there are any revisions we can make. We hope to have the privilege in hosting you again. Warm Regards, Michaela New Spirit Vacation Homes
We had a wonderful stay! The place was accurately advertised, clean, and an overall fun space to be together with family.

By: Andrea Trip Date: 2021-05-27
Moonlight Mountain Retreat provided a wonderful, relaxing space for getting together with family. We thoroughly enjoyed all the cabin's amenities, especially the record player, hot tub, and gaming room. There was ample space to spread out or sit together. The space was clean and as advertised. A couple of things to be aware of: 1. Like others mentioned, there are no window coverings in the bedrooms and the sun comes blaring over the mountain early. 2. Bring your own shampoo/conditioner/body soap. 3. Use caution leaving food out on the counter or accumulated trash in the kitchen. I should have known better, but ants kept finding snacks. Overall a great experience and highly recommend!
Wonderful cabin in the mountains

By: Jessica V. Trip Date: 2021-05-07

Spacious Gem on a Hill

By: Kristie O. Trip Date: 2021-03-27
The cabin was perfect for our stay in Idyllwild. Very spacious and lovely home tucked away in a quiet area on a hill. Close to town and many amazing hiking trails. The home was very inviting, cozy and nicely decorated. Plenty of room for everyone to sprawl out. We enjoyed watching tv in the big room upstairs and had alot of fun in the game room downstairs. Relaxing in the living room by the fireplace was lovely too. The big deck was a hit and perfect to enjoy a book, have a meal and converse or enjoy the mountain landscape. Would definitely recommend this hidden gem.

Response from New Spirit Vacation Homes:

Kristie, Thank you for your review on our property. We are happy to hear you guys enjoyed your stay. We hope to have the privilege in hosting you again for a future stay. Warm Regards, Michaela New Spirit Vacation Homes
Spectacular Retreat

By: Anonymous Trip Date: 2020-12-04
My children, grandchildren and I celebrated an early Christmas and this spectacular home met and exceeded all our expectations. Moonlight Mnt Retreat is well worth the money. It was clean, well maintained and had plenty for the youngsters to keep them entertained. The views from the amazing deck are breathtaking and a fabulous gathering place for the adults to relax and enjoy each others company. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare a traditional Christmas feast. Hats off to the owner and New Spirit Vacation Homes for providing such an amazing home.

Pro's outweigh the cons

By: crystal t. Trip Date: 2020-11-20
We got lost because we didnt follow staff instructions ��‍♀️ but after finding the home we were over the moon with this house!! Has a well stocked game room which served us well as I have children, I HARDLY SAW THEM ALL WEEKEND!!!! Talk about a VACATION ��. The upstairs living area has a beautiful LARGE sectional and VIDEO GAMES!!! Hardly saw my husband all weekend: SCORE!!! jk, the house is well stocked and beautiful. The views were amazing, although finding it was a bit of a mission but totally worth it! One thing though, on our last day my daughter found herself face to face with a small mouse. I spoke with the management company and suggested they move the location on their trashcans as it came in through where those cans are. Overall, AWESOME HOUSE, would consider going back if the EXTRA guest isnt occupying it, ha ha ha.

Response from New Spirit Vacation Homes:

Hello Crystal, Thank you for your review on our Moonlight Mountain Retreat home. We are so happy you and your family enjoyed your stay at our cozy cabin. We apologize regarding the situation regarding the mouse. We do have pest control visit homes as pests is a common issue in the mountains and despite our efforts sometimes these little guys can be very tenacious and resilient especially during the colder months! We can confirm the mouse has been removed from the home. We hope to have the privilege in hosting you again for a future stay. Warm Regards, Michaela New Spirit Vacation Homes
Great for families!

By: Anna B. Trip Date: 2020-11-08
Our family had a really cozy, great time here. Kids loved the games, pool table and the chance to watch TV. Husband loved the spa! The cabin was well stocked, heaters worked great and the property was in a great spot to enjoy the snow and the incredible views. There was an issue with mice in the kitchen so I would not recommend leaving food out on the counters. Management is aware of this and doing their best to tackle the issue!!! Carpet needs to either be replaced or deep cleaned. Otherwise we loved it and will be back!

Response from New Spirit Vacation Homes:

Hello Peter, Thank you for your review on our Tuckett Inn home. We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay at the home. and we appreciate the feedback. The mice is not a issue anymore as we had professional exterminator handle the issue. Regarding the carpets out housekeepers have shampooed the carpets. We look forward to welcoming you back for a future stay. Warm Regards, Michaela New Spirit Vacation Homes
Dream House

By: Claudia B. Trip Date: 2020-11-01
We loved this home. My husband and I both needed a getaway from the city, and it was so beautiful and serene. This house is an absolute dream home, beautiful architecture, stunning view, incredible deck, and still cozy and comfortable. We'd love to stay there again.

Response from New Spirit Vacation Homes:

Hello Claudia, Thank you for your review on our Moonlight Mountain Retreat home. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay at the home. We hope to have the privilege in hosting you again for a future stay. Warm Regards, Michaela New Spirit Vacation Homes
If you’re looking for a family/friends getaway this is the spot!

By: Leilani L. Trip Date: 2020-10-23
We rented this property for a weekend family trip and everyone absolutely loved it! The patio had enough seating for the whole family and the view was amazing. There were plenty of games available for the kids to keep them entertained and it was spacious enough that everyone wasn’t crammed together in the house. The property management were extremely nice and responded quickly when we had a concern. We will definitely be renting from them again in the future!

Response from New Spirit Vacation Homes:

Hello Leilani, Thank you for your kinda review on our property. We are so happy you and your family enjoyed your stay at the home. We look forward to welcoming you and your family back to Idyllwild for your next mountain getaway. Warm Regards, Michaela New Spirit Vacation Homes

Love this house

By: Jill K. Trip Date: 2020-07-31
This was the 2nd time we rented this house and we really love the deck, the view is amazing. Kitchen is well stocked. A little hard to find but the first time we rented this house we called the property manager and they came right over and showed us where the house was. My oldest son is in a wheelchair and this house was very easy for him to get around. We will be back. ♥️

Response from New Spirit Vacation Homes:

Jill, Thank you for your kind review. We are happy you enjoyed your stay at the home and look forward to welcoming you guys back for your next mountain getaway. Warm Regards, Michaela New Spirit Vacation Homes
Great Place

By: Jeff C. Trip Date: 2020-04-01
We rented with a group of 5. 2 parents and 3 older teenagers. Great views. A lot of space. Interesting layout but great with 3 living spaces for everyone to spread out. Love the deck and hot tub. Finding the house is a challenge. They almost need to have a map included in directions.

Response from New Spirit Vacation Homes:

Hello Jeff, Thank you for your review on our Moonlight Mountain Retreat. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay at the home. We do include driving directions in confirmation email that we send our guests. We will review to see if these need any revisions. We hope to have the privilege in hosting you again.

Moonlit retreat

By: Steven D. Trip Date: 2019-08-02
Tucked away in a hillside, this is a fine, stylish property that is perfect for a couple or, even better, for a family with its games room. But the clincher is the deck out back...and the mountain views. Beautiful home, cracking location, and the perfect retreat to get away from it all.
