Wonderful and relaxing to sum it up - we’ve been to Door County several times and the rental was the most comfortable, quiet and pleasant experience. It is a fresh, clean and roomy cabin. We enjoyed the deck seating for coffee, played Skipbo and were able to walk around the neighborhood just enjoying nature. We did get to Sturgeon Bay, Cave Point park and Potawatomi Park to check out areas we had not been before. These were nearby for short trips. Special thanks to Tom who was easy to reach and returned my call immediately. He resolved my concern the same afternoon.

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.

Fall Stay

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.

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.

Anniversary Get Away

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.
