The property had everything we were looking for. Loved being able to walk to the town main streets, shopping and dinner. Loved sitting by fire pit as well. Jason was responsive with some initial questions I had the day I arrived. Will definitely stay here again.

I have been using VRBO for 15 years traveling the US. All very good. I have rented three in Pinehurst before. This was the best overall, I'm in the building business and was very impressed with the renovations and details. Thanks. Look forward to coming back.

This property was absolutely perfect! We were in town for our wedding and stayed with my parents and our dog. Jason the host was easy to communicate with and extremely helpful. His home was beautiful and wonderful attention to detail in the renovation. The yard is stunning and we spent the majority of our time there!

My buddies and I have stayed in many places in Pinehurst, and we all agreed this was the best ever. The home is beautifully restored, spacious, and comfortable. The outside area is amazing, with a pool, pool house, and fire pit. We had an incredible time enjoying this great home. Jason was a great host. If it's available next year, we'll pick it again over any other property. Perfect location too - walk a couple of blocks to the Village of Pinehurst. Thanks, Jason!

Mark, we’re always thrilled to hear guests enjoying the restored cottage as much as we do. We definitely try to make the cottage a place that we and our guests are comfortable and feel at home during their stay. Idlewilde Cottage started hosting Pinehurst visitors in 1926, so we are proud to carry on that tradition and would love to host you again!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Pinehurst and this beautiful home. The house was set up with every item you could need. The house was thoughtfully decorated and meticulously kept. The pool was great and we loved watching games on the outdoor TV. We can’t wait to return!

Fabulous place for us to stay for our wedding weekend. Spacious and enough to do for the groomsman to get ready in, and great atmosphere to spend the morning socializing. Cannot wait to stay here in the warmer months and use the pool!

We had a wonderful stay at this Pinehurst Vrbo! The house was adorable, very clean, and incredibly welcoming. There was plenty of space for everyone to relax comfortably, and the fenced-in backyard was a huge bonus. We would absolutely stay here again and hope to come back in the summer to enjoy the pool. Highly recommend!
