Unique and comfortable house

We enjoyed this house - the unique design and gorgeous views were the highlights! The house is very comfortably set up; we were particularly impressed by the well-stocked kitchen. There are plenty of outdoor spaces to enjoy the scenery as well. The location of the hot tub is amazing! We couldn’t get the living room TV to work, unfortunately.

This is THE spot

My wife and I rented this house out with some family and ended up fitting 4 families very comfortably. The views are terrific, especially from the highest deck. Everything was very clean and ready for us to move in for the weekend. We did a 13 mile hike through the San Jacinto Wilderness and the hot tub was definitely something to look forward to... We will definitely be back!! Thank you Amy :)

The Dome

We arrived in Idyllwild just as the roads got very slick from snow and ice, so be sure to have a great set of chains or 4 wheel drive during the winter months as The Dome is uphill! The views are remarkable, especially from the hot tub! The kitchen is fully stocked with anything you might need for cooking. This was a great house for 3 families that love playing board games and hanging out together! Be prepared for togetherness as sound in The Dome carries! The folks at New Spirit Vacation Homes were very helpful!

Disliked: Listing accuracy

Beautiful outdoor location

Good: Beautiful view and cute outdoor spaces. Well stocked but missing some items including coffee. Property manager very responsive to fix problems with house. Bad: Property manager forces photographs of credit card and license and to sign an extra contract, none of which was REQUIRED when booking and they use an unvalidated system to store these so they need to add it to the property description. Tiny grill. A lot of items are broken like toilet seat cover, ripped leather couch and stairs, fridge did not work on arrival and spent hours with them to fix it. Acoustics carry all noise from downstairs to upstairs so difficult to sleep if people are awake.

Well Appointed Home with Amazing View

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: We stayed for 4 days in the early spring -- cold nights, but the home has blankets and heaters and we had no problem keeping warm. The entire place was clean, the kitchen had everything we needed plus more. Towels and toilet paper were plentiful and easy to find. Plenty of space and entertainment for our kids. The house has an amazing view of the area and was located close to town and multiple trails and parks for exploring. Idyllwild is a charming community and a relaxing vacation. New Spirt Homes was wonderful to work with -- quick to answer any questions and seemingly always available. I will definitely use them again (they seem to run many of rentals in the area)

The Dome

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property mgmt company was great to work with, communication was great, the dome was quirky and unusual-just what we were looking for. The regularly used surfaces we’re very clean, but the whole house could use a “Spring cleaning”-seriously! Attention to details like window coverings over all the bedroom windows, the sprayer in kitchen sink needs replaced and the bottom rack of the dishwasher needs wheels. The largest upstairs bedroom does not have a full wall to the top of the ceiling, so you wake with the earliest riser. The beds were very comfortable and the outdoor space was great!

Amazing Views and Great open setup. Close to town and hiking.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Had a great time very nice owners, views were great! it was right next to the side of the mountian so you could see for miles. Very spacious living area and nice big kitchen. Rooms were just fine for sleeping and beds were comfy. Lots of stairs to go up but it's worth it. Tub tub views were really quite nice also and Great for sunsetsIn the sun there's cool lizards all over the back rock area that like to check you out also. Large squirrels and many birds in the area as well. hiking trials are super close and numerous. many within 5-10min drive. The town is so cool def spots to check out is the many eatery's, the brewpub, the vintage Store on the second level main town and the winery's

Nice Views

I stayed here with my family. While the views were nice I was disappointed in the fact that we were unable to use the outdoor fireplace. In fact, it is unusuable. We had the fire dept up to the house after the neighbors saw us using it. They said they had been up to the house before. We couldn't understand why the owners would not have told us. Also the hot tub fits about 3 people and was not working. None of the bathrooms supplied any soap either. It did have a play area and toys which was great for kids, a well stocked kitchen was nice too. If you go, bring extra towels, soap, paper towels, trashbags.Also, be careful about renting the bunkhouse, the sink was not in working condition either. Also, you need to realize that to use an outdoor grill in Idyllwyld you need to first get a permit from the fire dept in town, wish we had been told some of these things prior to going.

The Dome

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: The home was clean and beautiful with wonderful views. We enjoyed the jacuzzi immensely and the kids climbed all over the boulders. The towels were soft and abundant and the kitchen was fully stocked. A couple of items could be addressed for future renters: 1) The sewer smell in the master bedroom and outside was pretty awful. Perhaps the septic tank cannot accommodate the stated number of 10 people after all? We had 9 in the big house. 2) The lighting along the stairs up to the Jacuzzi is inadequate. An accident is waiting to happen and you have a liability issue. Several lights were broken. 3) The TVs are outdated. And the dishwasher is old, the door is broken, and it's hard to turn on. 4) The front screen door does not close properly.

The Perfect Dome!

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 place was perfect for our group of 8! Everything you need is in this cabin! The toaster oven is even a Breville brand! Also, there’s no point in leaving because the views are absolutely amazing & the hot tub while watching the sunset is very relaxing! My husband brought his Sky Light Projector, which looked really cool on the ceiling of the dome at night time! I would book with this company again because of how clean & attention to detail everything was!

Excellent Views and Roomy

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We got switched to The Dome upon arrival (issue with the cabin we had reserved). The Dome is at the end of a cul-de-sac but quite isolated with amazing views at sunset. The hot tub is located away from the house, up a few flights of stairs to yield a tremendous view. Do this at sunset and you won't be disappointed at all. There could be slightly better lighting near the hot tub to aid in a nighttime session (quite dark otherwise). The main heater in the large living area was a bit temperamental but there are several space heaters throughout the house to keep rooms warm. The house is very well equipped, you'll lack for nothing, although they could use a real deal BBQ.

Beautiful home and location with some caveats

We enjoyed our time here. The Dome is iconic and thoughtfully planned with comfortable indoor and outdoor spaces to enjoy the majestic views of Idyllwild from the comfort of your residence. The kitchen was reasonably well stocked, nice selection of board games and movies, and the internet was fast and reliable. We enjoyed each of the several patios depending on the time of day and activity (food vs. relaxation). It’s hard to describe how well placed it is— you get beautiful views of Idyllwild all around the property. The sunrise and sunset across the valley are beautiful. 🌅 It is also quite central, near all the necessary amenities and trails. Really great location for exploring Idyllwild from. The property does get very warm however as the sun is hitting it from all sides. There is a portable A/C unit that we were able to pull out of the closet and it did a pretty good job keeping the main living space reasonably cool, but it never got above 85F when we were there. I'd imagine that in the dead of summer the little guy might not keep up. There was a nice breeze in the evening that helped bring down the temp, but did not reach the bedrooms upstairs. Also the beds were very uncomfortable, most of the beds sag to the middle making it especially difficult to sleep with a significant other. We had a pretty hard time sleeping well to be honest so that made it much harder to enjoy ourselves. A few other things to be aware of: 1. The walls are paper thin, and the dome shape enables noise to travel easily making it also hard to sleep. One if the bedrooms is actually a loft, which was the worst. 2. The windows are not private, even the bedroom and bathroom windows have no curtains. 3. For the upstairs bathroom, the lock works but the door can be pushed open anyway. 4. The upper patio table wobbles by 3-4” hard to have a meal on it. 5. Driveway is very very steep! More easily approached from the right, but a loaded car will still have trouble going up. Plenty of space to park at the top though.

This was a amazing getaway. The house is beautiful.

I have nothing but great things to say about this rental. I took my husband for his birthday weekend along with our great friends. The view was astonishing and just breathtaking. It is a big house with plenty of beds we Also rented the additional bungalow so plenty of room for about 14-16 people. It had everything you need. Well stocked with towels, toiletries. The jacuzzi was ready to go when I let them know I was going to use it. Monica the manager was very responsive which is a big plus. The location is great. It is close to the village with so many things to do. I could not have been happier. Great rental.
