We had a nice relaxing time in Idlewild. The house was clean, in a quiet area, and near a light house and water access that we enjoyed walks to. Would visit again.

This home was perfect for a Birthday Fall Getaway to see the sights of Door County. It was especially appreciated that our pup could join, so Thank You! We loved relaxing by the fire after a day of adventure (brought our own logs, but the house had fire starters which was so helpful!) and would have used the outdoor fire as well, but it was too windy. Loved the secluded location, and nearness to the lighthouse area which we explored in the morning.

We had a great time! The house was perfect for our weekend away. We saw a lot of wildlife right in the front yard too. Great location close to town and peacefully quiet. We will definitely stay here again next time we come up! Host was very accommodating in us bringing our dogs too. Thank you thank you!! We had a wonderful time!

This was our second visit to Idlewild By the Bay and we had a wonderful time. The yard and deck is very quiet and relaxing. Amazingly there weren’t many mosquitoes so we were able to enjoy sitting on the deck. The hosts are very responsive and the house had everything we needed. Definitely returning in the future.

This was the perfect cottage for us. It was close enough to Sturgeon Bay but very quiet in the woods. My daughter saw a deer ambling down the road in the early morning. We enjoyed using the grill and sitting on the deck. A very good experience.

We have stayed in many VRBOs and I will say this had the best appointed kitchen. There were sharp knives, plenty of cutting boards, and every size pot and pan available. There was a toaster oven, instant pot ( with an air fryer lid)…you name it and it’s probably there. We saw lots of wildlife around the house and really enjoyed the large porch. We would definitely recommend.

Beautiful home in a quiet neighborhood. Very clean with absolutely everything you might need. Comfortable beds made for great sleeping. Wrap around deck was nice for enjoying the fresh breeze and watching wildlife (several deer visited every day). Our two doodles also thoroughly enjoyed their trip. Highly recommend this home. Plan to return again.

This property was fantastic! The owner even included snacks for our stay! It was very clean and well kept. We loved the gas fire pit! Loved the fact that we were very close to the Sherwood Light House!
