The place was absolutely stunning. Incredibly private, great hiking right from the property, and easy access to the water nearby. Kitchen was outfitted perfectly with tons of amenities, and really appreciated that the host left us a welcome treat.

We stay at 3-4 short term rentals a year and this house is Top Notch! Beautiful woodwork and views! You can tell that the host truly wants guests to have a great experience! The kitchen is stocked with everything you need, including a great variety of coffee and seasonings. The beds are comfortable and they have plenty of good pillows (I need good pillows) We got to see deer every day and even got to see foxes playing in the yard! If you are looking for a peaceful getaway, 100% recommend!

The hostess was easy to contact when we needed anything like instructions on how to use the very easy to use thermostat. She was gracious and available. The house is amazing. While there is no direct access to the water the view, the house, the wildlife made it all an amazing trip. No big foot in their woods but lots of deers. This was a much needed family trip and we were so lucky to find this place!

I just can’t imagine anything better. What an awesome, private spot. The host is amazing and close by but respects your privacy. Communications are great. Then there is the property. Over 30 acres in the Ozarks to wander and enjoy. The cabin isn’t a cabin, it’s a beautiful home. We especially loved how parts of the wood and stone from the 1800s was incorporated. It clearly was done with great attention to detail. Highly recommended and I intend to use it again.

Oh my God! This place is wonderful.. It has: amazing view, seclusion, privacy, modern everything, swimming at the private dock, "no noise", wildlife everywhere, but it wasn't far from restaurants.... or anything else that we needed. The home was amazing, beautiful woodwork.. The attention to detail is everywhere, all new stuff. And the beds were big and killer comfortable. We didn't need it but you could section it into two different living areas for privacy. It was well stocked and was spotlessly clean. All we did was sleep late, eat, swim, and relax. The owners are near-by and were extremely helpful with anything that we needed. We will definitely come back. ;)

Our family had a great stay at Idle Awhile! You can tell that this cabin has been built with love and, frankly, a lot of talent. The Murphy bed was handmade, and the woodwork throughout the cabin totally floored me. The enormous, well-equipped kitchen (plus coffees/creamers/teas, and a bottle of wine and 6-pack) had plenty of room to put our own supplies.We had coffee in the morning on the back porch, with a stunning view of the lake. Lake access was very close by, and the rental came with two kayaks, life vests, and noodles for playtime on the water. The public boat access is nearby.Several nights we sat out by the firepit, enjoying hanging out together without feeling like neighbors were on top of us. The owners live nearby and are responsive, but gave us our privacy.Beds and furniture were comfy-this place was the opposite of old and beat up!

Wow, what an amazing place to stay! Our two families had kids ages 7-15, and the nine of us were very comfortable with more than enough space. The beds were SO comfortable, and both bathrooms are wonderful and well equipped. The kitchen is incredibly nice, with so much space. Having a grill and fun lake accessories is so handy. We loved driving to the nearby lake access point and swimming and putting in our kayaks. The deck with its view of the lake, and the deck's roof, is worth it just on its own. What a perfect place to hang out and take in the area. The owners were awesome with communication. Truly can't say enough good things about our stay. Thank you !

Great experience. Could not be better communication. I would definitely rent from them again. The place was immaculate. Go out and enjoy the deck and the views! Make sure to read the well written “to do” book. A lot of great ideas. Thank you!
