This 5 bedroom 3 bath natural wood house was recently updated with HVAC, updated kitchen, and a general facelift. The large living room with stone fireplace is the perfect place to enjoy friends and family...or retreat to the peaceful covered porch with rocking chairs, porch swings, and a view of lookout mountain. A large backyard is perfect for grilling, corn hole, or even an outdoor movie night. Located in the center of Montreat, Idlewood is an easy 3-5 minute walk to Lake Susan, tennis courts, the barn, and dozens of hiking trails.

Features - Updated in 2020, this air conditioned home features wonderful outdoor spaces, antiques, comfortable sleeping areas, an updated kitchen, hardwood floors, wood walls and ceilings a 100 year old stone fireplace, and is located in the ideal Montreat location.

Main Floor - The main floor includes a fabulous peaceful covered porch with 2 porch swings, a spacious living room with stone fireplace, flanked by 4 bedrooms (2 king, 2 queen/twin) and 2 bathrooms and outdoor patio with comfortable seating.

    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.

    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!!

    Another fantastic week! Enjoyed the house once again and everyone had a great time. The Catawba Trail is back open and was an awesome hike. Like always we so enjoy the back porch. Such a cozy and comfortable house.

    We adored our time at this wonderful Montreat home. The screened back porch was a dream, and we enjoyed the beginning and end of each day there. The location allowed us to walk to Lake Susan and all our activities. We highly recommend this cozy montreat cabin!

    It was a great place for 3 generations to be together for the Memorial Day long weekend! The layout of the house including a great Montreat porch and a backyard fire pit for somemores went to making a lot of memories with grandchildren! As one of the 4year old olds exclaimed, “it was cozy!”

    This is a fantastic house. It is super cozy and comfortable. The porch is so relaxing and our family spends hours out there. This is our third year and the host always has everything we need when we arrive. Can’t wait to be there again.
