The home had a renovated kitchen and bathroom. The problem was the furniture was all very old, stained, covered in kids stickers, sofas were trash. Throw away 1/2 the not needed furniture, replace the sofas and the house would be great.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The house itself was decent but the furniture is very beat up and the couches should have been thrown out years ago. The yard had not been mowed in ages and looked like a hayfield. It made it impossible to do anything outside. Owner needs to hire a new cleaning crew. Mirrors were filthy and furniture was dusty. Overall we felt uncomfortable for the duration of the stay due to the poor conditions.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The grass wasn’t cut. There were piles of trash in the garage. The entire house smelt like mildew. The one couch looked like it had mold on it. The other couch had a cover on it. We were afraid to look underneath but you could feel the boards in the couch when you sat on it. Once we discovered the mold we stopped sitting on the couches entirely. We moved the desk to make the table bigger and there was all kinds of trash and dust bunnies underneath. Dust everywhere. The towels in the bathroom looked used. Overall, this was the worst place I’ve ever stayed. The one star is for the deer. That was the only good thing about the house

Disliked: Cleanliness
This house is very close to nature, easy to find and access is smooth. Unfortunately for us the positives ended there.The State Park located nearly next door lended itself to some beautiful sights, from the nearly constant flow of deer in the yard to the waterfall just a couple minutes up the road. We loved that portion, and both stars in our rating are from that access to nature.The house, unfortunately is just not in ready to host condition. It certainly has that potential with a little work, but it is not ready to rent as it sits.The freezer is missing the lower drawer, making it very challenging to put stuff in from the cooler. The couch nearly ingested three members of my group, as they sat and nearly sank to the floor. The beds were not comfortable (to be fair, this could be preference of the person sleeping in them, though none your group was able to get much sleep on them.) The shower was a little rough, but worked. Other than using the fridge and freezer as mentioned above, we didn't utilize kitchen, so we have no input there. I'll admit it was questionable as to whether to leave the review or not, as I prefer to leave great reviews to help build folks up. I the end, I would have liked to have seen this information before we booked and we'd have likely chosen a different location.As I said, I can see tons of potential for the site and wish the host nothing but success, it just needs some work to make it a reasonable rental property. *No bugs in house!

My family of 4 plus our dog stayed here for a quick overnight stop while travelling between NC and MI, and for a visit to the nearby Flight 93 National Memorial. The location was perfect for us - close to Ligonier for restaurants but in a rural area, so it was very quiet.The house itself was fine for our needs - "no frills" is a very good description. The furniture is in pretty rough shape and the master bedroom only has a full-size bed, not a queen (our fault for not reading closely), so we split up for the night since there are multiple twin beds. There were some cleanliness issues - food pieces in the fridge, hair in the shower, etc., but overall it was adequate for a quick one night stay.

Idlewild trip

Great area close to Idlewild park. Nice area. Good communication with host. Checking in my son slipped on steps due to slippery mildew so I scrubbed them before the little ones came. Grass was recently mowed but looked like a hayfield. Home was very dirty with very worn furniture. We stayed because we had other family at other rentals we were meeting. We made it work but will not go back

As Advertised

My wife and I took one our kids (and her spouse) and three grandkids under 5 to Idlewild. This was the perfect location in relation to the park. It "lives" bigger than it looks from the outside (although we didn't use the kitchen). The furniture is worn, but nothing was broken or unsafe. And the house was very clean. Only recommendation for the host would be a clear (and maybe lit) house number. We arrived after dark, and although the GPS was spot on, its always nevous opening an unfamiliar door after dark.Planning another adventure with another child / grandchild combination and would not hesitate to book again.

Nestled in the woods

2 large does greeted us upon our arrival. We saw several other deer in the yard all through the evening. It has a cozy little living room where we sat and chatted for hours. Beds were comfortable. We didn’t use the kitchen at all. There is some awesome art on the walls and a vast record collection. Wish there had been a record player to enjoy them.
