Simple, Secluded, Satisfying!

This great little cabin property was exactly what I needed for my personal retreat. It was a perfect place to disconnect and relax. The hot tub was clean, fully functional, and had well-treated water. The interior was nicely maintained and attractive, and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen and bathroom were spic and span, and the appliances and utensils were well-thought out and helpful. It was simple, secluded, and very satisfying for my short retreat. I would definitely stay here again.

Very cozy quiet place

We enjoyed our fall foliage family weekend ride with the kids. Close to trails easy access rain wasn’t stopping us. We were bummed it was too wet for a fire but we enjoyed ourselves.

Peace and Quiet in Idlewild

Cute and Cozy cabin out in a wooded area made for a perfect weekend getaway. No Wi-Fi or much service but it was great to unplug. We enjoyed the games they had, the fire pit and grilled outside every night. Beds are comfy and the cabin was cleaned and stocked with enough supplies to cook, make coffee and lots of spices! Would stay again.
