Idlwilde Inn

From the very start this place just didn’t have the homey feel that an other b&b we stopped at had. The host showed us things we could do around town but was half hearted about it. Then we were also disappointed in our room no tv no radio and the bed was slightly uncomfortable.

My husband and I stayed in Room 6 for two nights of our honeymoon and we were so glad we did. The property is beautiful and well cared for. Maria takes great pride in her work and is very knowledgeable of the area. We felt very welcomed and I was very appreciative of how our host went out of her way to accommodate my vegan lifestyle. Our stay was peaceful and relaxing, which was exactly what we were hoping for. Our room had a breathtaking view of the lake, which was great for watching the sun rise. I would absolutely recommend this B&B!

Enjoy this B&B in a beautiful and historical home meticulously restored. Yes, there seem to be a lot of rules but I guess that is how they maintain the property. It feels more like a museum. Host was ok not overly friendly but pleasant and informative when asked. I thought the breakfast was wonderful. Maybe it has been upgraded in response to prior reviews.
Located only a few blocks from major part of town and lake but those few blocks are straight uphill which also provides a nice view.
Check out the night sky from the yard. It is spectacular. Not child friendly or casual but if you are looking for a formal, quiet, very clean place, you are home!

We stayed here for a long weekend trip and found the property to be beautiful, quiet and relaxing. Maria was a gracious host and we loved hearing stories and history about the property and village. The only feedback we have is that the breakfast was average. Good enough but not gourmet, if that’s what you’re used to. The other downside is that it’s not really walking distance to the village restaurants. However, if you’re brave and in moderate health, you can walk up that hill. We did and it wasn’t as bad as you’d think.
Overall? We’d stay again. The view and property itself were just wonderful.

If you want a boot camp getaway with a strict warden, then this is the place for you. We wasted our getaway by staying in this jail like place where as soon as you enter you are bombarded with one of the owner Maria, the warden who gives you instructions of don’t do this n don’t do that, don’t drag your luggage on the wooden floors n when asked for a glass, it comes with the instructions of «pls be careful n don’t break it». Does one really need this for their holiday or vacation… So pls skip this n stay at a really good BnB with nice people who run it n really offer a good worthwhile breakfast cause the breakfast in this place leaves you hungry cause they don’t offer much choice. Not really as romantic as they claim on their website, cause its dark n small dungy rooms., Sone of the bathrooms lack storage space n are not safe for elderly people as the bathtubs are too small. Slippery n has no support in case of any slips. It also lacks warmth n a welcoming atmosphere. This place does not deserve any star n the only missing instruction from the owner/​warden Maria besides all the above should be DON’T COME HERE!!!
