Wolf's Creek: Hot tub, On the Creek!

Introducing Wolf's Creek, a delightful creekside retreat complete with contemporary comforts. Nestled in a tranquil, wooded neighborhood near Idyllwild Arts, this renovated home features a spacious wrap-around deck that offers picturesque views of Strawberry Creek.

Outdoor relaxation abounds with multiple lounging spaces and a rejuvenating hot tub, all set amidst the serene ambiance of towering pine trees. Four-legged companions can revel in the enclosed dog run, while a convenient electric BBQ invites culinary adventures.

Loved Our Stay

We visited this property as a weekend getaway for my wife's birthday with our 3 kids and my wife's parents. We loved how there were 2 bedrooms that each had a king size bed (hard to find). There was space downstairs for the kids to sleep. The house is located right next to a stream so we could hear the water flowing when windows were open. Loved our time at this place and would go back.

Overall we had a great stay. The reason I am rating 4 stars is this cabin is advertised as a 4 bedroom and it is not. The room with the bunk bed is more like a loft, and there is no door for privacy from the stairs. So the family who had that space was not able to sleep well due to exposure to noise and light from the upstairs coming right into the sleeping space. Super disappointing when going with a group and feeling like one family got the short end of the stick. The rest of the cabin was great, had all of the amenities you need. BBQ is very tiny and not what was expected to cook for a large group. Overall, clean and beautiful views.

Relaxing time on the Creek

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: Great, spacious location on the creek with plenty of outdoor space. Not far from town, but very peaceful, private and pleasant. The fireplace was excellent and out communicative hosts had it stocked with firewood. I would only say that the furnishings are due for an upgrade, as well as the BBQ pit (though that likely has to do with fire safety rules). The jacuzzi was awesome as well !!

Perfect glamping vacation

This property was a perfectly relaxing place to decompress and relax after some light hiking in Idyllwild with our kids and friends. We stayed in April when it was still cold, but the house was nice and warm. The outdoor decks are also picturesque and the house is well lit with nicely placed skylights so you can still feel surrounded by your new environment even when you are inside. The kitchen is well-equipped, and we made a small feast each night that met all the needs of our picky eaters. The kids loved the bunk beds and the games. My friend and I enjoyed the jacuzzi outside. There is a really cool stream along the back of the house. The town is also really really cute. We stopped by a couple of times, and bought some amazing tea from the cozy tea shop there

There was also wet sheets in the dryer when we went to dry some of our clothes. Other than that the house was just like the pictures showed. The creek in the back was very serene. I would recommend the house if the hot tub was in better condition.

Great place to stay

Great cabin with two large living soaces. Downstairs could use an electric heater as temps are different from upstairs vs downstairs. Hot tub is smaller. There is a grill but it is a george foreman electric grill. I thought it wouldnt do our steaks justice but it worked just fine. Steaks were great. The stay was ceey enjoyable except when we were leaving we got stuxk at the bottom of the driveway. Had to get a wuick tow out because although there are stunps as pilons they need to be a good 3 feet closer to the driveway. The driveway dips off and my backup camera didnt pick it up and we got stuck with soft driveway and our back tires draped over a sudden decline.

The kitchen is well stocked, the beds are comfortable and the home is in nice condition. The outside back deck and hot tub are definitely the highlights of the property. Easy access to hiking, boating and the town of Idyllwild. New Spirit Homes staff were responsive and professional. The most inconvenient aspect of the stay was the archaic process of printing, signing, scanning, faxing the laundry list of contact and liability and release documents. If this process had been electronic and streamlined, I would have given them 5 stars.

This was an older home. The kitchen fully stocked but lacked foil, baggies, etc. as well as Kleenex. The counter behind the paper towel dispenser had not been wiped down in quite a while, as it was Very dusty. The upstairs bathroom had a lot of mold in the shower area/floor. There was someone’s old contact lens adhered to the floor. The towels were musty/stale and somewhat mildewed. The carpet in the downstairs bath had a large brown stain on it (not sure what it was, but we put a towel over it). You had to be careful when closing the refrigerator because it didn’t close tightly unless you pushed on both doors. Disappoint ed there was no outdoor BBQ (propane) other than the small George Forman grill. We enjoyed our stay In Idyllwild; quaint town and the house was in a good location. Easy check-in & exit process. Sorry we didn’t take photos re: the above.

Vacation by the Creek

It was a nice and clean home/ cabin. It could use a deep cleaning under the couch and beds. For a property that allows pets we thought it was pretty well-maintained. It did not smell like dogs and we did not see any dog hair. We generally avoid staying at properties that allow pets. The property is adjoined by neighbors on both sides that are fairly close. The kitchen had all of the basics that we needed and we never had to make a run to town for anything. We played a ton of games (we brought) and foosball. We mostly hung out by the creek. The patio was great and so relaxing. Things to note, the downstairs was much cooler than the upstairs. The beds are heated so it worked out fine. There was only one tv upstairs. It would have been nice to have one downstairs so the kids could watch movies at night away from where the adults wanted to be. There was plenty of hot water and towels. The spa was very hot and really enjoyable. It is semi-private on the side of the home but not completely obstructed from the neighbors. The water could definitely use a change but it was well chlorinated. We would not hesitate to come back to this property. The creek and outside deck really make it a relaxing spot.

The furniture inside the living room was visibly dirty upon entry. More importantly, there was a serious earwig infestation. We ended up having to leave a day early because it became uninhabitable and could not be managed by a quick insecticide spray as there were far too many bugs. The first day we found them in the fridge, then had them crawling on us on the furniture. By the next day many were flying through the house, we even found them crawling into our purses and I found one in my bag when I got home. The front door was missing the weatherstrip which the property manager that visited pointed out. They offered another home but upon searching that property’s reviews we saw complaints of bedbugs and did not feel comfortable that the property would be maintained better than the one we were in. We still have not received a refund or heard back from the company since we submitted our complaint, an issue that appears to be common. I would suggest checking yelp before booking as the reviews are vastly different than VRBO and reflect the same experience we had. I have stayed at multiple homes in Idyllwild and have always given very positive reviews, this is the first real issue I’ve ever had with a property and we are very disappointed with the follow up. We wanted to try staying in a different location than previous years and found this listing, but the pictures are misleading and the bugs are numerous. We even left with bites on us from sitting on the couch.
One of the many earwigs in the kitchen, we found multiple in our food and the fridge.

Quiet retreat, beautiful scenery.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: A special location for enjoying nature. Huge wrap-around deck, a meadow across from you, and plenty of wildlife roaming around. While things may not look the newest inside, you will be comfortable, relaxed. Upstairs shower needs a little refresh, but otherwise, everything is very clean and works well. Would recommend to families, solo travelers, couples, etc. The two levels and individual access doors also make it great for two families to have a little separation as well, like two cabins in one! Also— New Spirit is also the BEST company to work with. Great customer service and will take great care of you.
