The Idlewyld Inn is a lovely weekend getaway. The house has a historical appeal and is very clean. The staff are great, and the breakfast is exceptional. The only issue I found is that neither of the windows in the room properly blocked out the outside light, making it a bit difficult to sleep.

Everything was absolutely perfect. The room inviting and clean, the staff exceptionally nice, the food delicious. My flight was cancelled due to a snowstorm, I was able to stay longer than expected with no issues. I am especially thankful for that.
