Top Idlewild Hotel Reviews

Lake cabin, indoor Pickleball court, access to ATV trails near Baldwin,MI ,

Lake cabin, indoor Pickleball court, access to ATV trails near Baldwin,MI ,

10/10 Excellent
"The cabin was exactly what I hoped for--a comfortable and clean place to take my dog out of the city for a few days. The fenced in yard was more than adequate to keep my 80 lb dog contained (although he did obsess trying to chase toads in the yard). For me, the bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was generous, and the kitchen had all the appliances I needed for the stay. It was fun to sit on the deck and look out at the lake. The hosts were attentive, meeting me just as I arrived and making sure I had all the information I needed to make the most of my stay."

Sleep 6, Lakeview Cottage with private beach, boat dock & spectacular views.

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed here for our wedding anniversary and enjoyed the location. It had lake access for paddle boarding and everything we needed to be comfortable. The only thing missing was a fire pit but I brought my own tabletop version, which we used at the lake. I also wish there was a full-length mirror to help us get dressed. The place overall has been very well kept.There were plenty of games and toys for children. We had access to wifi and our streaming platforms with ease. The host as very responsive and accommodating."

"Great place for large groups. My family enjoyed the open concept first floor and the lakefront. The dock was nice, the beach large and clean. When an issue arose, they worked to mitigate the the impact, unfortunately it could not be fixed prior to the end of our stay."

"We enjoyed the property and the cabin was nice. Sharing one bathroom was a challenge since that was the only room with a mirror. An extra mirror would be helpful in the bedrooms. Lots of fun things for kids to do. Owner was quick to respond when we ran out of supplies."
