Sep 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy 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. ;) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d353b455-9d93-4a40-8a4f-348da5b75de9-1758742363900.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f091b0bc-3420-4581-9443-7055d2ec6b72-1758742549165.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3f04871f-7b8d-414f-b093-198e305eda13-1758742682759.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1d14c7df-009e-4014-828f-6cdd841a7bce-1758742776938.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### David E. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susie S. Sep 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy 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! ##### Susie S. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2025
