Property has great views. But none of the things worked. The hot tub did not heat, the grill didn’t work and the propane heater was not working as well. This property could definitely be a 4 or 5 star, but the main reason I got it was to just stay there and relax.

Was a little rocky checking in but they made sure we were happy and were more than accommodating and kind. I would definitely stay here again and work with them again.

We greatly enjoyed our trip to Idyllwild! The directions given to us were inaccurate but we still found the place. It was very well-outfitted and the hot tub at night was amazing!

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 vacation rental is a great property, located in wilderness. Cozy, clean and well equipped. We had no issues getting the property keys, getting in the rental and acclimated. However, there are a couple of negatives in our opinion. The property didn't offer any coffee or sugar or any basic condiments so please plan to buy every little thing that you may think might be needed. 10 am check out seems super early however they gave us a complimentary 1 hr late check out which was very nice. Overall, no concerns and would recommend this property to anyone.

Great time. Highlights were relaxing on the patio with a spectacular view, mellowing out in the jacuzzi while admiring nature and cozying with the family playing games. We enjoyed the visiting the town of Idyllwild and a hike at the nature center. Thank you for sharing a great place.

The cabin was really cute, cozy and the view was gorgeous. The hot tub on the patio was such an added bonus. There were plenty of towels and blankets, which was really nice. The biggest downside was that the beds were not the most comfortable and the stairs were a little worrisome. The steps were very narrow, so you really had to hold the rail and watch your step.

It's nice, but slept terrible, everything was great but just a few things, the hot tub did not get as hot as it should. The staff was great and sent someone out but it's an older hot tub couldn't fix heat. Also the bed down stairs was AWFUL!!! Tried then to slept up stairs and bed was hard as a rock. Sleeping on a mini get away is essential, really bummed me out, cuz everything else was great. Was on a culdesac and very quiet and very clean!

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Knotting Hill House is located in a quiet neighborhood about 10 minutes from town and features outstanding views. During our stay there were several issues with the house that were not disclosed by the management agency, including an inoperable gas-fireplace/heater, which is the main source of heat for the ground floor. The spa also malfunctioned, but a friendly service person responded right away and fixed the problem. The management company requires a 9 page rental agreement, signed and returned with copies of my drivers license and credit card - a practice I have not had to deal with in the past when booking through VRBO. There was no keyless entry, we had to go to the rental office and open a lockbox (going and coming) to get the door key.Overall staying in Idyllwild was fun and relaxing but dealing with this rental was not...

Neighbor on the right looks at you through their wondow. Made for a very uncomfortable stay. Houses are very close with little privacy. Check in process is outdated. Recommend shifting to Docusign for rental agreement and other documents that require signature. Recommend shifting to smart locks on the cabin doors to facilitate an easier check in/out process. Had an unprofessional experience with the rental company. Pictures of house are outdated.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, we enjoyed our stay at this cozy cabin in Idyllwild. Here are some pros and cons. Pros: Amazing deck with views, nice and clean hot tub that works, flat driveway (driving in the snow was tough), comfortable space for two people, wood burning fireplace, 8 minute drive from the town, clean cabin. Cons: Beds were uncomfortable/ hard, the couches were uncomfortable and dated, minimal overhead lights so it got a bit dark, the check in process was annoying (had to sign papers ahead and scan them and email them sensitive info and physically pick up / drop off the key in town). But overall we got past those things and still had a nice stay at this place.

Im compelled to leave my honest/thorough review as I do not want any other guests seeking cleanliness, desperate for relaxation & comfort to waste time and hard-earned money on this subpar property. We paid holiday rates for Valentines wknd also. Upon arrival our hearts sunk-we noticed immediately photos New Spirit Vacation Homes published were NOTHING like we walked into. Lamps w burnt out bulbs,couches stained/collapsed, reclining footrest busted, area rug stained. Property advertised as having a fully equipped kitchen,grill w BBQ tools provided and internet service. ALL FALSE The 2 wine glasses provided were in fact not wine glasses and were even cracked! We had just bought wine from the local winery/art gallery and wanted to sit outside on the deck to enjoy. We prepared for our 4 day/3 night stay and brought lots of groceries as we were celebrating the wknd and hoping to relax after a recent unfortunate family emergency so we remained positive & hopeful! We contacted the 2 numbers provided and were given diff responses by 2 diff people over our concerns. Instead of being met with compassion we were given more false info and argued with,ultimately told someone would come the next am to fix things and bring items not provided.UGH! Against our better judgment we said OK and stayed. Mistake! Would you consider pile of blankets stuffed into a duvet a mattress?? We were bit by spiders and found webs over the bed. We left first thing in the am! I did make owners aware again.
