Relaxing lake stay

Very quiet and peaceful. The cottage had everything we needed after driving from Memphis, Tennessee. Enjoyed kayaking, we rented from Baldwin Canoe Rentals. They dropped and picked up kayaks and life jackets, it was awesome! Would definitely stay here again.

Cozy Cottage

We truly enjoyed our stay at this cozy cottage. It is quiet, peaceful and has a lovely view of Lake Idlewild. We appreciated that the hosts stocked the place with things including bottled water, coffee, and assortment of teas and microwave popcorn. The bed and main room furniture were comfortable. We'd stay there again and would probably rent kayaks to launch from the cottage dock to spend time on the water.

Love lake life

Beautiful lake, it was a wonderful stay. The cottage was so cozy. It was easy to get to. The deck and back yard was great for sitting and having a campfire, watching the stars at night. There was easy access for kayaking and fishing. Great place to go for a long bike ride. Plenty of places to go hiking for the day. Looking forward to come back again.
