The cabin is charming, well equipped, and ideally located. We had a problem with one shower fixture and they sent somebody out to fix it very quickly. I’d be happy to stay there again.

A couple of weeks in Idyllwild
We really enjoyed our two weeks day in this charming vintage cabin. The creek location is perfect. The furnishings we’re very comfortable and the rental agency staff we’re excellent in helping to resolve a minor issue. Perfect place to read a book, bbq on the deck or explore the town.

Great cabin with terrific location!
We had a great stay at this great cabin next to the stunning creek. Four of us women got to reconnect and celebrate a friend’s birthday. The deck was absolutely perfect for enjoying our coffee in the morning and our wine and charcuterie in the afternoon. The sounds of the creek were so peaceful and the beds were so comfortable for a great way to recharge on our getaway! I would highly recommend this cabin as will be back!

True to its namesake
I don't believe in a love at first sight for people but I do believe in it for places and that's exactly what happened when we arrived here: we fell in love. My mother was already planning our next visit when she first stepped in. The cabin is absolutely beautiful. Everything from the furniture to the decorations to the homely touches encapsulates everything that we love about Idyllwild: it's timelessness, it's humility, it's grace, it's charm, it's simplicity. We are definitely going to return here, sooner rather than later.

Great mountain cabin. Plenty of space for our family of five. We had trouble turning on the lights in the main living area at first, but the property manager was very helpful and arranged to send someone out to help us. Luckily we figured it out ourselves.

What a "Hidden" Treasure.
We were extremely satisfied with our stay at Hidden Heaven. It had a cozy yet spacious feel to it with everything we needed to keep us and our guests comfortable. The creek right off the back deck of the house was beautiful with calming sounds of running water over the rocks. We also loved how secluded it was. We thought the huge uncovered windows on the front of the house, though there to provide a spectacular view of the trees and landscaping, would make us uncomfortable that anyone could see inside, but we actually were completely hidden from view. The cabin is aptly named "Hidden Heaven". I also have to mention how patient and helpful the property management was with any questions we had. I would highly reccomend this cabin to anyone.

Secluded gem
This is a fantastic cabin. Set right on the creek, kids can play in the water and you can just sit back and relax. Plenty of room for a family of four but space might get limited with bigger parties due to the bedroom layout. Cute bedrooms and wonderful main room with fire. Didn't use the kitchen much but it had everything we needed. Walk to town up the creek but the road is not that busy either. Would stay again!

Lovely Cabin, Lovely Natural Setting
We really enjoyed our stay at HH. The cabin is spacious and has all of the essentials, plus interesting history about the owners. The kitchen is super organized! The beds are comfy and there are plenty of towels, linens, pillows and blankets. The cabin gets cold and we needed to run both the heater and the fireplace, which actually added to the ambiance. Plenty of hot water, rustic furnishings. The land around the cabin was gorgeous. Strawberry Creek is right outside the back, and there is a swing so relax on. The front yard can't even be called that...it's like a little forest with a trail! Great for kids, great to relax, just right for a long weekend. (Just a quick note...the lighting is a little dim in the cabin, so you'll need to turn on all the lamps. And there isn't a dishwasher, but that wasn't a big deal since we loved going to the restaurants in town.) I definitely recommend and would come back to stay.

Idyllwild cabin
Property was nice and we enjoyed our stay. Our only issue was New Spirit manager. She was weirdly over concerned with the firewood. Charged us for delivery when wood was already at cabin, can’t burn over 40 pieces etc. We are mature adults who travel quite a bit and responsible. Her attitude was off putting.

It's truly a Hidden Heaven!:D
If you want to do a true getaway for you and your friends/family, this is the right place. The cabin has such a beautiful antique decorations and offers coziness and comfortable feelings. Since it's located right by the creek, I could easily access to the creek from the deck. I was very lucky to stay there when it snowed. It has phenomenal views from all the windows of the cabin. There was also a cute swing that I could sit on and appreciated the beauty of nature/surroundings in peace. The management company service was very good, so I was able to get help easily when it snowed so much. Thanks Monica!;) We will definitely come back for this beautiful cabin again. Highly recommend!:)

This felt like a real getaway were in a rustic cabin, but with all the amenities you would need. The views of the creek are perfect, plus the fact that you can access it and walk along the creek trail. It’s such a quick walk into town as well. We had a lovely stay that we will always remember.

Desert escape
I had a wonderful time staying here at hidden heaven. A couple of my friends who also happen to be my neighbors decided we needed a get together away from home. This happened to really catch my eye as a very nostalgic type cabin. And boy I was not wrong. I loved the sweet quaint charm this cabin had. I enjoyed playing in the creek, yes I said playing, I was trying to get more water sound. And the creek can be heard from the deck and it was so beautiful. Such an escape and I would do it again.

Hidden Heaven
Charming older cottage on a creek. Unfortunately, the linens on the master bedroom bed were filthy and disgusting. The lighting in the room (as it is in the entire cabin) was so bad we did not see it until the next day. Also, we were not warned that the front door does not open without using the key. We were sitting on the front porch and the wind shut the door. We were locked out and had to crawl through a window to get back in. The cabin is in a very nice area and overlooks a creek. At this time of the year, there is very little water running through it but it is pretty. The chairs on the back deck were very comfortable. Location is great as you can walk to town.

Dear Kathleen, Thank you for your review on our Hidden Heaven home. We appreciate your feedback as we strive to improve with each and every stay. We are sorry in regards to the linens. We pride ourselves in making sure all of our homes are sanitized and disinfected in between each stay. We always change linens and put fresh clean linens on beds at all our properties in between each stay as well. We wish you would have called us in regards to the linens. We will address this with housekeeping. Regarding the lighting in the cabin, the home has intentionally dimmer lighting to maintain the charm and cozy feeling of the home. Additionally in regards to being locked out we would have gladly sent someone over to unlock the door for you and we look into possible solutions such as a door stopper. Additionally during this time of the year due to very hot weather and little rain the creeks are running a little dry. We hope to have the privilege of hosting you again for a future stay. Warm Regards, Monica New Spirit Vacation Homes

Nothing is missing in this cabin tucked near strawberry Creek! The kitchen is fully loaded. All TV work! The board games aren't missing any pieces. The Grill is working perfectly and comes with its utensils. The Creek is truly beautiful and yes the cabin is right near it! The attention to details of this cabin is nothing short of remarkable!
