Mice in the house, missing window & door screens
It's a shame but this property is not well kept. I have been coming to Idlywild for many years staying in vacation homes. This is the first time I have stayed at a property that was unacceptable. Aside from little things I did not complain about, like the outside decks not being cleaned (covered with dust, pollen and no cushions put out), as well as cobwebs everywhere, window screens missing, no sliding door screen, meaning we could not open them because bugs, birds and critters can get in, along with little air ventilation because master fan was not working and it was hot - we were faced with mice in the house. Apparently this was not a new problem as we noticed later there were little traps of which one had a fresh dead mouse in it in the cushion closet. The mice we saw started late at night, running in the game room and middle dining room, one was in the closet climbing the walls. We noticed there is a gap between the garage carport wall and floor in the game room where they can come and go freely. The management company did find us a new place at 11:30 at night which was appreciated but they did not adjust the price as the other place was smaller and rented for much less per day. Needless to say, bad experience overall. Hopefully the problems at Moonlight have been addressed by now- ask before booking.

Very disappointed!!!
I hate to leave this review but I hope it will help other people when booking in Idyllwild. Due to windows and doors not sealing, we had an issue with mice starting the evening we checked in. New Spirit was very helpful by bringing traps to help take care of the problem. However, even with the additional traps, we continued to see mice throughout our stay. On the day before we checked out, there were baby mice in blanket used by our grandson. On top of the problem with mice, the house was extremely warm due to not being able to open all the windows. Most of the windows were missing screens so they could not be used without letting bugs getting in the house. We were not able to utilize the upstairs bedroom with single beds. It was too hot to sleep in that room. We were in communication with New Spirit Vacations throughout our stay. They were extremely helpful. The last night they moved us to a different house that was much nicer. I would not hesitate to rent one of their houses due to them making up for the issues during our stay. However, I would not stay in this house until they address the mice, screens, and a few other maintenance items.

Awesome family retreat!
PROS: Excellent communication with the property management! Check-in and out was quick and easy. Loved the location. A little hard to find at first, and the directions they gave us from the check-in location to the cabin were incorrect, but once we found Foster Lake Rd., it was a breeze. LOVED the layout of the cabin. Unique and spacious, yet cozy. Perfect for 10 people. We were all very comfortable. Our ages ranged from 3 to 50 years old and we all loved partaking in the game room amenities and Smart TVs. The record player and record collection were a nice touch. Even the 20somethings loved listening to the Doors and Eagles albums. AWESOME views from the balcony and patio. So peaceful and quiet outside! Woodwork and wood accents throughout the cabin are gorgeous. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Loved that there was a small market close by in case we needed food or supplies. CONS: Disrepair issues: Broken blinds, loose toilet seats, peeling paint and torn shower curtain in downstairs restroom (and shower curtain wasn’t waterproof), BBQ grill table is wobbly, torn patio cushions, broken oven door (bottom left door), worn carpet on stairs. Cleaning issues: Cabin was tidy, but once we settled in we noticed dusty furniture and ledges, caked-on grease splatters on kitchen windows above stove, cobwebs in corners, windows & glass doors heading out to the patio needed to be cleaned/squeegeed, a leaf blower to porch and patio would have been nice, some ceiling light fixtures had dead bugs in them. Some of these issues could be alleviated by having a good bi-monthly deep cleaning. Only a bottle of Windex was provided. No disinfecting cleaners for kitchen or restrooms, nor Pledge to clean the wood tables or wood accents. Outside BBQ grill (small silver one) has no grease catch tray, so grease leaks onto the table when you use it. Also, one propane tank didn’t work. Overall, we all had such an amazing time and created great family memories here! We’d definitely love to stay here again and would highly recommend it to others if the disrepair and cleaning issues are tended to. RECOMMENDATIONS IF YOU PLAN TO STAY HERE: Sleep masks (There’s no curtains/blinds in certain rooms), Keurig machine if that’s your jam, cleaning supplies, about 6 nightlights for those late night bathroom/kitchen runs, a metal grill spatula for grill outside, and at least one good knife for cutting food (the kitchen knives they had were very dull).

Peace and bliss in a mountain retreat
We chose this location based on proximity to various family members, and a peaceful getaway for us to spend time together. This rental lived up to every expectation we had for eight people and two small dogs. the bedrooms are spacious with fold-out space as the number of members expanded for the weekend. The deck provides a beautiful view to relax with a beverage. We never felt cramped, yet we could gather in small groups without interfering with the rest of the group. Perfect for family dynamics in a wooded setting. P.S. when they tell you to ignore GPS and follow provided directions, believe them.

Girls getaway
This house was huge, clean, and comfortable. Great indoor/outdoor space and furniture. Was honestly more room than we needed for the 5 of us, and would be awesome for a larger group. The one complain we had was that the back door did not lock, and we had to use a chair to improvise. Otherwise it was perfect for our weekend getaway.

great Get away
The Deck is amazing with a great view. The house is big with lots of space to hang out. It was clean and the beds are comfortable. It is confusing how to get to it, the sign is placed after the turn and hard to see. But once you know where you are going it's fine. It was really hot in the main living area and had no AC. but if you open all the windows and doors it does cool down a little.

The house was amazing. Our group of 10 had plenty of room to share meals and hang out on the deck with more than enough seating. The kitchen had everything we needed to make full meals, even the pots and pans were really nice. Most of the time in Rentals the pots are horrible. We had a great time at the property, would definitely return.

Snow Trip
This is our second time staying in the Moonlight Mountain Retreat. We loved our stay, both trips we were lucky to have it snow one day before our trip. This last trip our family gathered to celebrate my father in law’s birthday, we were a party of ten and this house was perfect for our party size. The kids enjoyed the snow, the surrounding property provided us with a private snow play area. We look forward to coming back next year. The check in process was quick and easy. Communication with property agency was also a breeze. Highly recommend staying at Moonlight Mountain Retreat.

Breath of Fresh Air
My family, mom, mom's boyfriend, brother, brother in law, son (18), son (15), and I stayed here for a weekend. Celebrating my 18 year olds bday, we spent the weekend relaxing,competing, and playing games. The home is charming and well laid out for space. My dog and I really enjoyed the deck and the skylight in the card room. The kitchen is well situated as it's close to the deck and a living room and also well equipped. I only took a few prefered kitchen tools. This home offered many nice touches. We all enjoyed the turntable and LPS of ranging classic to contemporary sounds. The game room was an instant hit. We all played pool and shuffleboard. One wall in the game room had no power. We didn't mind though as we didn't need TV and just moved the heater to the other wall. I slept on the couch upstairs and in both of the twin beds, both were comfortable. Our weekend there was totally awesome. I would stick to walking on the roads rather than inbetween the homes though. I attempted to walk down to see the boulders and the neighbor lady scolded me for being on her property. I was 25 yards away from her home walking my dog, coffee in hand. I did not think I was close enough to bother nor looked like trouble. That was the only low, but not related directly to the home. I recommend this retreat to all.
