Pet Friendly Home Near Lakes & Trails

Idlewild is located in the heart of Lake County, the perfect area for outdoor enthusiasts. The historic Idlewild community is well known for cultural festivals, jazz events, water sports, rest & relaxation. Our house features 1 queen sized bed, 2 twin beds, & 1 twin blow up mattress. Full kitchen w/stove, all cookware, microwave, refrigerator, and a grill for all your cooking needs. No wi-fi & weak cell phone signals so you can detach from technology. We have a 65-inch TV and LOTS of movies: comedy, action, kid friendly, and classics for the family as well as games. House sits on 6 lots so bring your camper and outdoor toys!

Lake county has 146 lakes & trout streams & trails. If you own a kayak, boat, jet ski, 4 -wheeler, or any other ORVs then you MUST bring them with you. The trailhead is easily accessible 2 miles from property at 6023 S. Forman Road behind the Dollar General. Information is available for you to visit Baldwin Canoe Rental which rents canoes, kayaks, and tubes for floating on the Pere Marquette River. You will enjoy the peace and quiet of the woods with your friends and family! If you’re looking to visit other areas of Michigan this is a great pit stop along the way. We have information on many other travel destinations. We look forward to hosting you, your family, and friends.

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.
