"I really enjoyed my stay at Idlewilde! The site along the river is just breathtaking and memorable. Idlewilde is very quiet and peaceful. The cabin was immaculate and comfortable - I was impressed with how clean it was! What a beautiful area and a beautiful setting. Thanks. "
Jennifer Soule


"Clean, spottlessly so. Homey, friendly, nature, wildlife. We got everything we came for and more. Thank you. "

"Thank you again for making our vacation together at Estes Park one of the most memorable ever. My brother John and I can't get over how suitable the rustic Shemara cabin was in comfortably meeting all our needs. So very clean, cozy, convenient and well furnished! And Idlewilde By The River's unmatched, quiet location right on the rushing Big Thompson River just the right distance from the bustle of town...combined with easy access to the park's entrance gate. Wow! All of this combined with watching a big antlered elk munch on shrubs next door one morning.....and seeing another guest pull in a very large trout from the river, made for an incomparable stay. Thanks again. Jerry Campbell"

"We just returned from our first trip to Estes Park and had the pleasure of staying in the Riverside cabin at Idlewilde. We found the cabin absolutely spotless and in the most perfect setting. Although Idlewilde is conveniently located close to town it is tucked away and is extremely peaceful. Donna and Lloyd are wonderful and were very helpful with suggestions of restaurants, etc. They made us feel like family right away! We appreciated the nice library in the office and spent a couple of hours one day sitting by the river reading and relaxing. If you are considering a trip to Estes Park look no further for lodging - make your reservations at Idlewilde By The River!!"

"We had the most relaxing, remarkable stay at Idlewilde! If you're looking for peace and a place to reconnect with nature, you've found it at Idlewilde. The cabins are very comfortable and offer a great place to unwind. The river is lovely and the sounds of the rushing water are very calming. This was our first stay at Idlewilde, and we're already booking for next year! This is one of our favorite places, now, and we've been all around the country, even Hawaii. Thank you so much for an extremely enjoyable, and much needed, perfect place for vacation!"

"We had a wonderful stay at Idle Wilde by the River. The cabin was very comfortable and spacious, but most of all we enjoyed the screened porch where we could sit and watch the hummingbirds. We have been going to Estes Park for a number of years and really do love it. Your resort is so convenient to the Park and downtown. Donna is so gracious and caring with all the guests. Thank you for a very enjoyable time. "
David & Janet Gordon


"We spent 2 weeks in the hummingbird cabin August 2009. We loved it! The cabin was spacious, clean and so close to the National Park it was like having a grand playground in your back yard. We hiked more than 60 miles. Knowing we had such a wonderful place to come back to every evening made the hiking even more special. Donna a Lloyd are wonderful and made us feel right at home. They even stock the river with trout every week! They were very responsive to any of our needs. We will definetly be back! "

"Idlewilde was the perfect place for our family vacation in the Rockies. We had all the clean, cozy comforts of home, while being able to enjoy the beauty of nature all around. We stayed in the Hummingbird, which was spotless (and I'm a VERY picky housekeeper!) and totally updated. We also enjoyed how close we were to Rockie Mountain National Park and downtown Estes Park. Now that we're home, I miss being lulled to sleep at night by the Big Thompson River! But most of all, we loved the warmth and hospitality we received from Donna and Lloyd. There is no doubt that we will stay at the Idlewilde if we vacation again in the Rockies! "
Greg and Janine Fairchild


"We have stayed at Idlewilde twice and I'm sure will be back again. The kids love the water and grounds and we love the peaceful sounds of the rushing river, not to mention the fishing! Donne and Lloyd could not be more gracious and treat all as old friends. We loved watching the hummingbirds this year. The cabins are kept like new. Thanks for sharing your piece of heaven! Colette, Kay , Elijah and Ebonie Anderson"
