We stayed at Idyllnook Lodge, booked through IdyllwildVacationCabins, from 1/16/2026-1/19/2026, and…read moreunfortunately had a very disappointing experience. Upon arrival, we noticed a poison mouse trap inside the cabin. We immediately contacted IdyllwildVacationCabins and were told that mice had been reported back in July 2025, the issue had been treated, and the trap was only a preventative measure. We were also told relocation was available if needed. Based on these assurances, we believed there was no active infestation and decided to stay. The following evening, we discovered mouse/rat droppings inside a kitchen drawer and in a dresser where our infant's clothing had already been placed. After inspecting further, we found extensive droppings throughout the cabin, including closet floors, under the bed, and in multiple upstairs closets. This clearly indicated an active or unresolved rodent issue. Regardless of whether the droppings were new or old, their presence made the cabin unsafe and uninhabitable--especially given the health risks associated with rodent droppings, including potential exposure to hantavirus. We contacted IdyllwildVacationCabins again and were offered relocation, but by that point our belongings had already been unpacked and potentially contaminated. Under the circumstances, we felt the only reasonable option was to leave the property entirely.

The location in Idyllwild couldn't be better--just a short walk to town, yet tucked away enough to feel private and serene. Each cabin has its own unique character and thoughtful design, and Ursus was no exception. This three-bedroom, two-bath cabin had incredibly comfortable beds and the most charming kitchen. We especially loved the private deck off the upstairs master bedroom and the table with a view overlooking Wyldwood Park. The hot tub was a highlight after a day of exploring. The only thing to note is that Ursus runs a little on the darker side, even with all the lights on, but it didn't take away from the overall experience. We truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back!

Review for the Woodland Park Cottages…read more PROS: - Beautiful scenery! - All kinds of wildlife in the area - Very quiet place to stay. Makes you feel like you're not in CA. - Pet friendly! - Close to downtown Idyllwild. - Cabins are comfortable and nestled in the woods. - Our cabin had a nice little patio deck with a table and chairs. - Cable television that also includes the Dodgers channel! - Full kitchen and bath. - The cabin also has air conditioning(not the best though). - This location has a pool, picnic area, BBQs, and even a ping pong table. - The cabin also felt pretty clean... for the most part. - The rates and prices are great! CONS: - The A/C unit (not central air) was kind of weak during the day when it got really hot. - The lounge chairs inside the cabin were kind of grody, especially the arm rests... - WIFI onsite, but it's really slow. PRO-TIP: - Just FYI, the kitchen sink DOES NOT have a garbage disposal. - Also, expect random thunderstorms during the summer. It was actually pretty cool to see and experience out in the mountains. - If you have VERIZON, the signal in certain parts of the complex is almost non existent.

The cabins are in the middle of beautiful, tall trees, a mini park, and pathways with wild flowers (summer). There's a flurry of activity from squirrels, chipmunks, bluejays, and woodpeckers. The family that owns it (Collin, Denise and Matt), is very friendly and accommodating. Downtown Idyllwild is walking distance from the cabins - slightly over a mile. If you like alpine settings, this is the right place. The cabins are duplexes with a large side and a smaller side. I take the large side as I prefer the large deck to enjoy a cup of coffee, read a book, take photos, watch the wildlife, or just enjoy the scenery. This setting renews my soul.

Unfortunately, it ultimately ends with you having dispute charges with your credit card company even after you have followed all the rules New Spirt Vacation Homes sets outside of the Vrbo platform. Here it is - all spelled out chronologically and can be backed by 40+ messages back and forth with BOTH Niki and Monica, who appear to be the same person, at least in the way they message customers 8/28/2025 $653.35 paid in full for reservation for 3.23.26 - 3.26.26 12/11/2025 New Spirt Vacation Homes removed listing from Vrbo and directed me to view all details on their own website, not via Vrbo which made me very uneasy, so I canceled my reservation per Vrbo's timely allowances. Same day I am messaged by Nikki telling me to fill out an additional refund form outside of Vrbo and that they will take no less than 30 days to complete the refund request per their right with the CA SB 644 (California Senate Bill 644 )which legally allows them to do so. 12/19/2025 The additional email form not received via email from this company. I messaged to inquire and was basically scolded by Nikki and asked why I 'did not advise them earlier that they did not send the form?' Well, because it was not my responsibility to send it! 1/23/2026 More than 30 days past, still no refund. I messaged New Spirit Vacation homes to inquire. I was told by Nikki that "half our accounting dept. is out sick, and I will personally process the refund today." 1/24/2026 Nikki messages me now stating that "Our merchant services account does not allow us to process a refund with charges that are ran over 180 days prior to request so now we need to mail you a check." Keep in mind that the date of purchase was 8/28/2025 and the date I requested a refund was 12/11/2025. Simple math shows this is a lie, as 180 days after purchase date would have been 2/24/2026! 1/24/2026 Messaged a second time by Monica stating that she is "forwarding this request for a check refund to be issued by the CEO and mailed to you today." 1/30/2026 No check received. I message again, Niki this time lies to me stating that "I work night shift, but the check was cut and mailed out yesterday so it should arrive shortly." 2/4/2026 No check received, asked status, no response 2/5/2026 Messaged them a second time, said I will be starting a dispute with my credit card company. 2/6/2026 Next day Niki responded, "I personally tried to run your card (last lie was she mailed refund SAME DAY on 1/30/2026) and it would not allow, I will need to reach out to see what is going on." ******************* THAT WAS THE LAST MESSAGE FROM NEW SPIRT VACATION HOMES, AFTER THAT I INITIATED A DISPUTE WITH MY CREDIT CARD COMPANY THAT WAS NOT RESOLVED UNTIL THE END OF MARCH 2026 ************* So why am I siting here wasting my 30-minute lunch break typing a novel? Well, remember that neat little California Senate Bill 644 (SB 644) mentioned earlier by Nikki as the reason for not refunding anyone before 30 days; basically 'because they can'? Guess what, it protects us too as consumers from unethical companies like New Spirt Vacation homes that regularly practice cash grabbing, lies, unnecessary delays and harassment with their refund process in hopes you give up and do not fight. I am not the one who gives up easily, so I have officially filled a consumer complaint with the State of California Department of Justice Consumer Complaint Office of the Attorney General I HIGHLY recommend you do so as well if they are taking longer than 30 days to issue your refund which is in a direct violation of the CA SB 644 and punishable with up to $10,000.00 fine.

After payment, I discovered: * The fireplace was unusable * The jacuzzi was only half full, with jets barely working * There was no clear mention of checkout time until after booking When I brought this up, the host didn't try to resolve anything. Instead of offering goodwill or admitting anything could've been handled better, they doubled down and blamed me, even after I showed them screenshots and law references. I ended up filing a credit card dispute and escalating the matter to BBB and the California Attorney General. This business prioritizes profit over people and plays games with how fees are displayed and amenities described. There are better places in Idyllwild, and likely, more honest ones too.

A-Frame Cabin is A-mazing…read more I had done a Yelp search of where to stay in Idyllwild for an upcoming short vacation and fell upson the stellar reveiws for this little place...I was not disappointed. Upon arrival, I was so delighted at the look and location of the cabin, that I - literally- began to jump up and down like a little kid. It is adorable. Nestled against a tiny creek, amidst blue jays and quail and squirrels, this was the perfect get away. Inside, a cozy living room, complete with fireplace and television (though it took me a minute to figure out how to adjust the surround sound) a fully equipped kitchen, small office space, full bathroom downstairs, half bath upstairs, an extra bedroom with a double bed and a gorgeous, comfortable queen sized bed up a set of winding stairs, I truly could not have been happier. I was able to cook at "home" every meal (after a quick visit to Fairway Foods less than a mile away), walk through town all day, and snuggle inside all night. There are even annual parking passes to the local national forests, so next time we stay, we'll make a trip to check it out, and with the amount of space and sleeping arrangements, next time we may also bring some friends along! I look forward to my next trip to Idyllwild, and, withouth question, will be staying at the A-Frame Cabin.
