Young Couple Finds Bliss in Idlewild

While surfing the net late one night I happened upon a post from the Carethers family about their plan to visit Idlewild. I then noticed that not only had they posted a pre-trip message but they also post-trip a message as well! The review was extremely positive, filled with hope and determination to become a part of the revitlization of Idlewild. So, I sent them an email and wham, bam, thank you mam they kindly email ed back a set of lake view photos. Since they were kind enough to share I decided to ask if could share them will our readers. Click of the photos to enlarge the image.

My grandfather spoke of Idlewild many times. He had such wonderful memories. My grandfather purchased a cottage is Shrewsbury Canada, and I spent my summers there. I want to recreate those memories with my children. My grandfather, husband, children, and I will be visiting Idlewild next week. We are going to look at property. See you soon.

Idlewild is a hidden treasure. The cluster of lakes is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. My grandfather really enjoyed our visit. It brought back wonderful memories for him. My husband and children also enjoyed the trip. We hope to purchase property and build a home there.

I am a graduate student at Northwestern University in the Journalism school and I am writing a historical profile of Idlewild, Michigan. I visited this past weekend and it was amazing to learn about the rich African-American history of the place. If anyone who has been there either in its heyday or recently or has some type of connection to Idlewild and would like to share their story with me, I would really appreciate it. I am on a time crunch so the sooner the better. Please e-mail me at ytara26@yahoo.com. Thanks!
