Quaint, clean and perfect
The Idlewild BnB worked perfectly as a place for my son and I to stay while in the area fishing. It was a great find at the right price. Working with Kenny and his local staff was a breeze. The house was clean, warm and provided us with all that we needed. There was a great selection of movies to watch and the 65” TV was a sweet screen to view them on. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice
The cabin was nice on the inside. Nice tv with plenty of movies. Not much of an outdoor area but we were able to have a bonfire on the side which was cool. Went to use the pull out couch and there were crumbs on it but everything else was clean and we did enjoy our stay.

Peaceful
The rooms were prefect for me and my family. I really enjoyed how remote the property was that I could have so much peace and quiet but still have the closeness of going into town less than a 20 minute drive from the house. The owner was very helpful and responsive when I had questions.
