We invited our grown children to join our family vacation. They spent the days working remotely from the house while we took our younger two out exploring the area during the day. We all reconvened in the evenings by enjoying suppers together and hanging out as a family in the treehouse having great conversations well into the night. It was peaceful and wonderful. The hosts were super communicative over minor issue and worked quickly with us to resolve it. I definitely recommend staying here in this peaceful and quiet setting.

It was great except for the smell of the paper mill.
We had plenty of room. We didn’t go anywhere or do anything except rest & relax.

We’ve stayed at this property in the past and it’s still a hit. It is clean and well maintained. The tree house and top loft is always a favorite! Meredith is friendly and communicates everything you need while still being assessable. We’re be back soon!

Clean and comfortable. The host was amazing. Meredith checked on us throughout. The area is perfect for a long weekend with the family. We did not want to leave.

Summer Weekend at Idlespeed
We had an excellent time at Idlespeed for a long weekend. Everything is just as it is captured in the pictures and more! The owner is very engaged in making the stay as pleasant as possible. Hopefully it will be available the next time we are over that way.

Great place to stay while fishing lake Pickwick.
The place was clean, nice and perfectly located for what we wanted. There was a load of towels in the washing machine that had mildewed, but we washed and put up. Other than that, the experience was great and will stay again if we are ever in the area.

A few minutes from Shiloh
This is the first time ever reserving a home online. I had reservations (not sure) but hoping like heck it wasn't a scam. This has been a very positive experience, there are other dates I need to get homes reserved for and I'm sticking with Vrbo.!! Totally!. The house worked well and the only question we had regarding an item was answered by our host in a quick fashion and fixed to our satisfaction.almost immediately. I wouldn't hesitate to give 4+ rating.

Just what the doctor ordered
My family and I needed a getaway and this property was perfect. It was clean and had everything you needed stocked. If you need anything it’s close to a store and grocery. It was spacious and exactly as pictured. The only down side was I wished I would’ve booked more time. I didn’t want to leave however I will be back!

Perfect Weekend Getaway
Even with neighbors fairly close, the house felt so secluded. The huge windows looking out into the woods were beautiful! We were less than 15 minutes and it was easy to get to. I can't wait to visit this property again.
PS--This may seem trivial, but the knives were sharp and as someone who likes to cook while staying at a house, that made me very happy.

July 4th Friends and family
We enjoyed our stay. Easy check in/check out. Beautiful cabin with a comfortable couch, great living room and kitchen. Surprised at the amenities.. we forgot some items- no problem- they were supplied already! The two driveways were nice- one for the car and one to park the truck and trailer. Thank you for allowing us to rent your cabin! Look forward to another stay.

Great getaway
We throughly enjoyed our stay, it was clean and well stocked with extras. Short distance to Shiloh Battle Field and Pickwick Lake. We enjoyed all the trees and wild life. Only negative thing I have to say the stairs are to steep and the railing is to short for safety.
