Relaxing Winter Getaway

My wife and I enjoy occasional 3-day weekends to Door County and usually try to get a rental "off the beaten path." We decided on this house because the photos indicated it would be very open with a lot of natural light, with views of the woods. We were not disappointed! The property was clean, the house was warm even though the weekend was quite cold, and we appreciated that it is pet-friendly. We enjoyed reading and cooking together there. It is also only 15-20mn from Sturgeon Bay--far enough out we did not hear much traffic, but close enough to town. The only frustration was on the day we arrived. We drove up the day after a major snowfall which was followed by several days of cold with subzero windchills--not uncommon in winter. The main roads including I-43 and Hwy 57 were in good condition and the county highways were passable. However, the house is at the top of a hill which was too slippery for our sedan to ascend. Fortunately, we were able to approach from the opposite direction. When we tried to park, we found the driveway/parking area had been plowed but had not been salted or was lightly salted. Our car had difficulty turning on the ice and ended up impacted into a snowbank. We were able to get it out ourselves the next morning and parked the second night in an alternate parking area that the owner recommended. The owner was very responsive when contacted and did follow up the next day. Overall, very bright, clean, and warm rental. Thank you!

Quiet and Relaxing!

Upon first entering the property, we immediately noticed how clean the house was, especially being dog friendly! The kitchen is well-stocked and the sleep number bed made for restful nights. The property itself is quiet and wooded for privacy. While not in the heart of Door County, it's close enough that we weren't bothered... it was nice to escape some of the hustle and bustle. Will definitely stay here again!

A home away from home in Door County

My best friend and our husbands took a weekend trip to Door County and stayed at the Idlewild Hideaway. The cabin was beautiful, the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to make meals, and there was a beautiful outdoor area on the deck to enjoy the scenery. Tom was great about communication. We even got to enjoy the weekend with our dogs. I would highly recommend the Idyllwild hideaway to anyone and we hope to come back to stay again soon.

About the host

Hosted by Tom Brolin

We are a young couple from Southeast Wisconsin and we just bought this second home to enjoy with our two daughters, fulfilling our dream of having an amazing place to get away for a respite when desired.

Why they chose this property

We found this property when walking with our brother/brother-in-law (who is just down the road right on the Bay) and ran into the original owners/builders of the property when it wasn't even for sale! They were so proud of their home they mentioned they may be interested in selling - since it was the second home of our dreams, well maintained, and near family, it was a match made in happy. Not to mention it's SO close to all the amenities Door County has to offer!

What makes this property unique

The home is nestled on a hillside in the wonderful wilderness on Sherwood Point near Potawatomi State Park and Idlewild golf course. Almost daily we are greeted by dear watching us through the windows while enjoying our coffee. A local tavern with excellent food (Johnny G's Fishing Hole) is within walking distance and their fish fry on Fridays and prime rib on Saturdays is outstanding! Sturgeon Bay is nearby with excellent shopping at some of our favorite stores including: Bliss Marketplace, Northern Territory, Bayside Bargains, Door County Antiques and Consignment Mall, Cornucopia, and T. Simon Jewelers! Excellent restaurants: Inn at Cedar Crossing, Trattoria Dal Santo, Kick Coffee, 5 and J Coffee to name a few!
