Beautiful views from every room!!! Bonus, it is creekside and you can hear the rushing water from the deck, still flowing Nov 30 :) Not happy with the check in, although the staff was nice, you have to pick up the key in town at check in time and return it by check out time as well, which cuts into the rental time… check in at 4 PM and check out at 10 AM :( There are much better deals out there, and flexible owners… I prefer to book directly with the owner. ##### Susie C.

From check in to departure - and the snow storm/power outage in-between - all was handled incredibly professionally. We purchased wood for every day - and there was PLENTY. With the power outage we were so glad that we had. The property was very well stocked with the basics, and Anthony was prompt and on top of everything. We cooked like kings and queens for 4.5 days straight - the cabin had everything we needed. Definitely will not book with anyone other than New Spirit in Idyllwild. Their property management is exceptional and we will return. I would give 6 stars if I could. ##### Susan B.

Kitchen well stocked! Service from “New Spirit” was excellent... we even got an assist with some snow removal (thankfully management encouraged us to leave a “low to the ground” auto at their rental office) due to the snow plow piling it up next to our car. I can’t say enough good things about this rental and the management. All of our needs/requests were attended to before and during rental. The extra wood we purchased was plentiful and A GREAT IDEA when heading to snow country where power may go out. Can’t wait to return to Idyllwild and this awesome rental. The hot tub was GREAT. ##### Susan B. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kimzey M. Aug 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful home, beautiful setting! The home is wonderful - gorgeous all-wood architecture with soaring windows in the main bedroom. Decor is tasteful modern rustic, and furniture and bedding is comfortable and clean. The shady back deck overlooks the creek, with table seating for 6-8 and 4 additional chairs. Even with close neighbors on both sides, it feels very secluded and private. In the winter, it might be a bit cozy if all beds were full - the bar is the only indoor eating space, and the living room would only comfortably seat 4 adults. However, if the weather is warm enough to use the outdoor areas, you’ll have plenty of space. The jacuzzi was hot when we arrived - heaven! We did not cook, but the kitchen seemed to have everything you might need in terms of equipment, and there is also a grill that we did not use. Coffee, tea, and very basic spices were provided. Location is a short drive to the village - probably too far to walk for most people. My only comment is that these days, it is very easy to have a lockbox or keyless entry vs having to visit the office in town. Overall, the property is excellent, and we would love to come visit again! ##### Kimzey M.

Dec 3, 2024 #### Wonderful home and amazing views 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: We spent 3 nights at Big Rock Creek Lodge and enjoyed every minute of it. The amenities are fantastic, the deck has a wonderful view with the calming sounds from Strawberry Creek, and everyone had a great time. My kids (7 and 5) really enjoyed the bunk beds and playing the different games. Would highly recommend, but there are several things to mention.1. This is a nice home, meaning the wooden floors, countertops, and decor need care and attention. Not recommended for those with untidy children, as it will stain or damage the property, which means $$ from you.2. The creek is not hikeable. There is private property all around. 3. The check in/out is a slight inconvenience, but an inconvenience regardless. You have to pick up and drop off the keys at the main office. Out of 20+ short term rentals I've stayed in, never have I had to drive to an office, find a lockbox out of 30 on a wall, and get the keys.4. The really long emails and archaic contract PDFs just add to the inconvenience. I understand the need to convey important information, but please format it properly rather than sending 1000 words (yes, I counted). Also, contracts should be via an e-sign provider, not PDFs to fill out, scan and email back. And at the very least include check in/out and pricing details in the PDF before sending it out rather than having the customer fill it out.5. The property managers are very responsive and easy to communicate with. It was nice knowing that I could send a text and get a response back within minutes typically. ##### Jonathan K.

Jun 27, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Mountain escape We enjoyed our short visit to Idyllwild and from what we saw hope to return. This cabin was very comfortable, the view in the master bedroom was amazing. Every where you look there are beautiful views or unique and well chosen artwork. It was a little hard to cook in the kitchen (stove was not easy to adjust flame and pots didn’t have matching lids) but we found wonderful restaurants. The deck was so peaceful to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. ##### Zinaida B.

Jun 23, 2022 #### Big Rock, Big View 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 is our favorite rental in Idyllwild. The home has many beautiful touches - copper and gemstones throughout. The many windows artfully bring the outdoors alive while inside. The deck is a beautiful viewing area. The master bedroom upstairs is magical. Waking up there is like a dream. ##### Anne S. ### 6/10 Okay #### Tara A. Mar 21, 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### It was Just OK 1- It is not a 7 people home. One bed is full and you cannot even sit on it bc there is a bunk bed on top and you’ll hit your head to that. The room is tiny! There is no way two people can sleep on it! Maybe just 2 very young children, maybe! 2- One of us hit her head very badly to a sharp edge of a lamp frame and it cut his head. The frame was very low! Why would they place it there? So low??!!! It started bleeding and we needed alcohol in the middle of night. We were lucky it didn’t need stitches. I have pics! 3- The fire place did not work. All the smoke came back in and we we couldn’t make the fire. And yes, we followed all the instructions and opened the flue. 4- The room on the second floor has a spectacular view, BUT there is no wall that separates it from downstairs and you’ll hear people downstairs clearly, and can not sleep if someone down there is speaking! ##### Tara A.

Overall it was a lovely get away and the staff who helped with check in are wonderful. Do note this will be a real vacation as WIFI was non-existent. If you want to enjoy sitting in the deck in the evenings it does get dark and there is no outdoor lighting. Bring a headlamp so you don't trip on the stairs. ##### carol a.

Oct 11, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful but with one fatal design flaw Great place except that the master bedroom (with an incredible view of the trees and mountain) is more like an open loft than a clsoed bedroom. It has no wall or glass separating it from the rest of the house, so you can hear everything from the living room and kitchen. We couldn't fall asleep until everyone else left the living area and the minute someone walked into the living area in the morning, the sound would wake us up. So, terrible room for anyone who doens't sleep very soundly or has trouble sleeping. Still, very beautiful. ##### Shlomo S.

Mar 3, 2021 Liked: Location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication #### Property Review The actual house is really cool. Nice creek in the back and the place, even though has neighbors, seems isolated. The only complaint is the property manager. They are overwhelmed, understaffed and extremely disorganized. There was also a dirty diaper on the deck when we came in, which is disappointing when you first walk into a place. Had to wait over an hour in line for a our keys. I would book the place again but not through this property manager. ##### Andrew B. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melanie R.

House was well stocked and had a great selection of family-friendly DVDs that our toddler enjoyed. Was a very hot weekend and, despite that lack of A/C, the house remained pretty cool given the location and fans. ##### Jeff S.
