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.

Best Birthday Trip for my bestie!

This weekend was my best friend’s birthday and she wanted to do a cabin getaway! When we found this cabin we knew it be perfect! Plus a hot tub to enjoy! We watched movies, played games and still had our own room to relax. Thank you for a great experience!

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!

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.

Very cozy quiet place

We enjoyed our fall foliage family weekend ride with the kids. Close to trails easy access rain wasn’t stopping us. We were bummed it was too wet for a fire but we enjoyed ourselves.

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.
