This is a classic mountain home filled with character and love! It has lots of space for family gatherings around the dinner tables and on the back porch! The furniture is very comfortable and the porch is filled with rocking chairs and 2 porch swings.The updated kitchen is filled with everything you might need. We plan to stay here again in the future.

A perfect place to stay! This cottage is full of character and charm, yet offers every modern comfort you could wish for. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen and bathrooms are thoughtfully stocked with all the essentials, and the back porch might just be the best place to relax in all of Montreat. We absolutely love Idlewood and highly recommend it.
