We so enjoyed this house. It was very clean, the kitchen was well stocked with amenities. Basically bring your food items and everything else was there. The view was great. We also appreciated they were well stocked on towels and beach towels. Definitely would stay again. Also appreciated they checked with on first night to make sure we had what we needed. Thanks again

Idle Days is a wonderful place to host a family reunion. The kitchen is well-stocked with appliances, utensils, spices - everything you could need. The furnishings are updated and very comfortable. The screened porch is awesome for hanging out and enjoying meals! The views of the lake are spectacular. The upper dock is perfect for relaxing and jumping into the lake. It's the best!!

Everything was as described, and Tracey was very easy to work with. The kitchen is equipped with anything you could possibly imagine, lots of extra towels and bedding. We did not utilize any of the water toy choices. Some of our family members had some in a nearby home, but the view sure is lovely! All of the chirping crickets and toads at night is very soothing to sleep with!

This was the best experience I have had through VRBO. Our hostess Tracey was amazing. She responded promptly to any questions we had. The house was stocked with all the cooking items you would ever need. There were even some stable spices there. There were plenty of towels, etc. The house was great. Nicely updated kitchen and bathrooms. The beds were all very comfortable. The owner manual for the house had all the information you needed regarding checking in and out. I would highly recommend this house if you have a large group. We had 12 people and every one had a bed to sleep in. The location was perfect. It only took about 15-20 minutes to get to the nearest convenient/ grocery store and the Dollar General. I cannot say enough about how wonderful Tracy was from beginning of our reservation to our checkout.

Idle Days covered all the bases. It is located in Arley with easy access to a grocery store and a few restaurants. Duskin Point Marina is about ten minutes away by boat and is where we rented ours, making a day on the lake very convenient to our home and gas. Our home was very clean and incredibly well stocked. Sleeping arrangements were ideal for our family of eight adults and three grandchildren. We enjoyed a beautiful water view, slip for our boat and plenty of water toys, Lily Pad and life jackets. Idle Days is highly recommended. We’ll be back!
