I absolutely loved my stay here! The cabin was quiet, peaceful, and exactly what I needed — just me, nature, and a relaxing hot tub. Everything was clean and comfortable, and I couldn’t have asked for a better getaway.Mike was wonderful — always prompt and helpful with any questions I had, and he made my first experience using Vrbo really easy and enjoyable.

Weekend getaway

A cozy little weekend getaway! We enjoyed a couple nights under the stars in the hot tub. All the comforts of an “up north” experience. Very clean and easy check in/out. Definitely a place the soul needs to recharge. We enjoyed our stay here and will be coming back!

Quiet and Relaxing

My husband and I stayed for a long weekend. Close enough to town so you can get a bite to eat if you don’t want to cook but cabin seemed to have what you need if you did want to cook. Hot tub was wonderful, in great shape. Fire pit was very nice. The property was very clean inside and out. Bedding and towels were spotless. Couch was comfortable and great for napping. We watched some movies they had on the dvd player and everything worked great! If you’re a clean freak you won’t be disappointed!

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.

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.

Anniversary getaway

We enjoyed our stay at Idle-in-the-Wild very much! It had everything we needed for our 3 day anniversary get away. The first night we had some trouble with the hot tub not heating as it should and the host was very responsive and accommodating. The hot tub worked great after the host stopped by and figured out the issue. We were very grateful. We enjoyed making our coffee every morning and relaxing in our comfortable surroundings. While we were there it snowed quite a lot and the area around the cabin was really beautiful in the snow! The bed was comfortable and we appreciated the little heater in the bedroom.
