Idle Cottage is a great place in virtually every way. The location is excellent. Easy to get to and on a very attractive, wide street with well groomed homes. Bill is a landscape architect and his yard shows it. The location is just a short distance from Normal Heights and University Heights which have great restaurants and shopping. Bill is a great host and goes out of his way to make you feel at home including stocking the refrigerator with basic necessities, and even some not so basic necessities like Stella Artois The cottage is beautifully decorated and stocked with everything you need to make this a home away from home. There's a beautiful little patio in back of the cottage. We drank coffee there in the mornings and it was delightful. We will definitely stay here again in the future.
