Cute, clean cottage was perfect for us and our dogs for a long weekend. Screen porch and AC was the envy of our family who’d booked other cottages. Easy walk to Happi Jax and other lake attractions.

Wonderful retreat

If relaxation and convenience are high on your vacation list, check out Idlewilde Cottage. The hosts are communicative and kind. The cottage is updated and features extras like air conditioning, a large television and lots of kitchenware. The owners have planned for your needs with an outside deck, a fire pit, comfy furniture and updated decor. Excellent choice for a weekend getaway or a full family week-long stay.

Nice little cabin

Nice. Not great but very nice. It had everything we needed but not everything we wanted (extra blanket, a few kitchen pieces, storage/hooks for jackets). We did not know what or where to go on the lake and so we went to Erie for activities for our kiddo A guide an
