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.

The house was a classic mountain home with comfortable beds, a nice kitchen and an incredible back porch. Our family of 5 loved everything about it.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Dec 2024
This is a charming, well loved home that easily accommodated the 11 of us. This is one of the best appointed kitchens to meet the needs of almost anyone who spends time in the kitchen. These owners are generous in their supply of paper products and kitchen needs. Very impressive. Almost everything has been thought of by these owners. The comfortable living room and large dining table was a hit with all and the general neighborhood is very special. Wonderful playground and cafe and a couple of shops in walking distance and nice hikes nearby in Montreat. Named correctly...a cozy and fun place!!
