About this property

Historic Cottage with Private Pool, Firepit, EV Charging Walk to Village

Enjoy the best of Pinehurst in a beautifully restored 1915 Cottage. Set in the heart of the historic village, steps from the Spa and restaurants and an easy stroll to everything historic Pinehurst has to offer including the Resort and Pinehurst No 2 Golf Course yet completely tucked away on a quiet charming street.

Idlewilde Cottage was built in 1915 by Pinehurst founder James Walker Tufts' Carpenter, Rassie Wicker. The cottage has undergone a complete renovation while maintaining all the original charm. You can enjoy having a cocktail on the porch with the newly installed gas lamps and outdoor fan while gazing onto the street where Annie Oakley used to live or go for a dip in the new salt pool. Enjoy your favorite sporting events at the new pool house bar TV complete with a kitchenette, bbq and outdoor shower. Enjoy an evening roasting marshmallows around the outdoor stone fireplace or a gourmet meal in the fully stocked kitchen. There is ample parking in the driveway and additional parking behind the carriage house.

We offer laundry detergent, a fully stocked kitchen including spices and pantry items, hand soap, shampoo/conditioner, body wash and toilet paper and paper towels to get you started. The new salt pool is not heated. PLEASE NOTE the pool is not open in January and February and the first half of March and is priced accordingly during this period.

Pinehurst offers a charming small-town atmosphere, complete with Southern hospitality. Those interested in golf and equestrian activities will find this area particularly engaging. But there is plenty more to love about Pinehurst like shopping, antiquing, or best yet, a day at the Pinehurst Resort Spa! The wide variety of restaurants available is enough to satisfy any palate and some of our particular favorites are the Roast Office, the Pine Scone Cafe, the Agora Bakery & Cafe, the Pinehurst Brewery, the Drum & Quill Pub and Lisi Italian Restaurant. Some of our favorite things to do in the area include The Village Arboretum, Rassie Wicker Park, Sandhills Horticultural Gardens, Harness Racing at the Fair Barn, the Aloha Safari, Camelot Playground and of course Pinehurst Resort, The Spa at Pinehurst and the Village Shops at Pinehurst

Just a note for our guests – there are several public golf courses within 5 miles of the cottage. The Village is less than half a mile, and Pinehust Lake is only a mile and a half away.

This home is meant to be a quiet escape to relax and get away from it all with your favorite family and/or friends. We strive to be good neighbors and pride ourselves on attracting respectful guests that will love the property as much as we do and will also be considerate neighbors during their stay. We will consider your 4 legged canine family members on a case by case basis. Please tell us about your pup. We will consider up to 2 dogs and kindly ask that no dogs be allowed in or on any of the beds. We strive to provide a high level of service and accommodations. If you have a specific request, we will do what we can to accommodate you.

Perfect family get away

This was a perfect home for our family Christmas trip! It is so beautiful and spacious. Its location to the village of Pinehurst is as close as you can be. Especially to one of our favorites The Pine Crest Inn. Loved the Christmas lights out front. And the gas lamps are a really nice touch. Hope to come back in the summer when we can use the pool.

Location, convenience, a great pool for a swim after golf, a cool cabana for evening drinks and cornhole, and a fantastic kitchen and accommodations.

Amazing Cottage

Wow, this cottage is amazing (as is the entire neighborhood). The pool & pool house were a welcome retreat after a hot summer day. The Village , restaurants and Pinehurst CC are all a short walk away. The inside has been completely redone and nothing was left to chance. From the historic hardwood floors to the chefs kitchen, everything was perfect. We will definitely be back.

Perfect weekend!

This property was perfect for our family. The home was beautiful and the layout worked well for us. It was well appointed, everything we needed for cooking was there and we even enjoyed a few puzzles. We couldn't have asked for a better location. It was an easy walk to town and the neighborhood was lovely. Also very convenient to the golf courses we played. We would absolutely go back to this home.

Wonderful historic home in downtown Pinehurst

This home has everything needed for an amazing Pinehurst vacation. The owner is extremely responsive and the booking, check in and check out experience was very easy. They’ve done a great job of updating a historic home with all the comforts of a modern home. Walking distance to all - town, Pinehurst resort, brewery, etc and a short drive to many surrounding local golf courses. My family (including dogs) highly recommends this home for your next Pinehurst vacation!

Fantastic weekend in a perfect location!

My friends and I stayed at this property for a 40th birthday celebration. Everything was fantastic and as described. Kitchen was well equipped, great bedroom layout, and the pool and pool house were a major bonus. We spent time enjoying the house (including roasting s’mores on the fire pit, eating dinner outside on the patio, and swimming in the pool) and exploring the village. We walked to get coffee both mornings, grabbed drinks at a bar down the street one night, and relaxed at the spa on our last day. A fun, convenient, and quintessential Pinehurst weekend! We will be back!

As another review said, the pictures don’t capture how well done this place is. It exceeded our expectations. The house is also very well stocked. We like to cook, and it had everything we needed and far better quality items than one would expect for a VRBO.

Family Golf Trip

My son was playing in a Junior event a Pinehurst and we decided to rent a house for 3 nights vs a hotel and it was definitely the right choice. The house was absolutely perfect. The pool was a really nice addition with the heat - a big reason we rented this house, along with the proximity to town. We honestly don't have one negative thing to say - the owner was awesome, extremely responsive if needed. The house was clean and had ALL of the amenities. The house is pet-friendly (we have a 10 year old yellow lab that we brought with us) which was also a reason we rented here. When we have another 3+ night trip down to Pinehurst we will absolutely be staying here again. Jason thank you for making our Pinehurst experience do great - you were an awesome host!!
