We spent 3 nights in this lovely home and thoroughly enjoyed our experience! The home was really cute, clean and perfect for our family of 4 (plus our dog)! We were close enough to all the activities in door county, but had a feeling of privacy and seclusion when we got back to the home. There were lots of games to play when it was rainy. My kids really enjoyed sleeping in the loft! We would definitely stay here again.

I can't say enough how great this place was.Almost to the point where I'm afraid to rave about it.Because new people will find out about how great a place this is.... Time was extremely helpful in messaging. Me and answering any messages I sent him. The place was exactly as advertised and it was in a very dear part of Door County that meant a lot to me since I was a child so finding This place was a godsend..... You literally don't need to bring anything , except your clothes and yourself and whatever food you want to eat , because everything is supplied for and it's very , very clean.... I Was pleasantly surprised to find that they even left bowls for your pet If you wanted to use it , so thank you Tom for that!!! We will\nBe coming up here as long as Tom will have us!!! In fact, the place is so great.I would even consider going up there in the winter.Because it's such a posy place today.I was looking out the windows trying to envision.What are it like to have christmas up there....

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.

Great hideaway!

The ultimate stay for a “mature” girls weekend. Exceptionally clean and pleasant. Short walk to the public beach where we enjoyed the sunsets. My first Vrbo. I hope future Vrbo stays are as good as this one!

We definitely enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean and we felt right at home. It was a joy to come “home” every night after site seeing every day. Our elderly dog even felt right at home.

Wonderful cottage experience

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.

Relaxing and peaceful

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.
