We had a nice easily accessed overnight stay at Idle Wild. it was not hard to find. The weather was not great, so the owner allowed us to stay on the gravel driveway. It did rain quite a bit overnight, so we were glad for that.

Did not get to meet hosts because we arrived late. But their adult daughter was watching for us and walked us to our spot. without her help we would have heen unsure where to park. The place is a large roomy level magical spot of nature. Although we did not meet the hosts were quickly responsive to our many messages. We would love to stop again

We had a great stay at Idle Wild. It's an easy find and setup. We loved all the farm animals that came to greet you, especially the baby goats! It's fantastic that the owners share their space with HH.
