"This was my second stay at Idlewilde and it was absolute perfection, as before. Donna is unbelievably wonderful and the whole staff goes out of their way to make sure your stay is a comfortable one. Donna also assisted me with dinner reservations, suggestions for activities, and even advice on how I could work in Estes Park next summer. The location is perfect. Idlewilde is near the Beaver Meadow entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. This is the closest entrance for access to the trails at Bear Lake and Glacier Gorge. The Big Thompson River provides a soothing background and the screened-in porches enable you to sit and enjoy the sounds of the river, hummingbirds, and the cool fresh mountain air. Idlewilde will always be my choice in Estes Park. I can not imagine anywhere being better than Idlewilde. If I could live there, I would."

"What a treasure of a resort. We have found a gold mine at Idlewilde, and hope there is an available cabin for us in 2010. Our cabin was even more than we expected--cozy, charming, comfortable, and with the constant roar of the River, we were peaceful and content ALL the time. To sit on the screened porch, and be close to the beauty of the River, and to just go out and be there, to sit under the trees right at the edge----wonderful!! We would be happy in any of the cabins located right on the River. Thank you for a very specail experience. We will see you next year! And, YOU helped make our stay a GOOD ONE."

Be sure to eat at the Shore. They have may weddings. Get a reservation. We have already made reservations for next year. Nuff said. Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you."

"June 09 was 4th stay at Idlewiilde and 3rd time in Aloha cabin. It was wonderful again as we love being right next to the rushing, roaring Big Thompson River which is the ultimate spot for total relaxation anywhere I have ever been. Already looking forward to next year's visit in the summer and will soon start looking at airfares into Denver."
Jay & Valerie Reeves


"Our second stay at Idlewilde and enjoyed it every bit as much as the first, probably even more because we brought our grandkids this time. We stayed in 'Linger Longer'. It was perfect for our family, lots of room, and very clean and comfortable. The cabins are modern enough to be convenient, but rustic enough to enjoy the outdoor experience. We loved watching the hummingbirds, the elk who passed through, and even caught a glimpse of a bear across the river. We love RMNP, Estes Park and can't imagine staying anywhere else when we visit. Thank you Donna and Lloyd."

"The property is beautiful! The smell of the pine trees, the sounds of the river & hummingbirds and the immaculate cleanliness of the cabins made our stay a wonderful memory.I hope we return soon."

"We had such a wonderful time on our stay in the Aloha Cabin. My husband and I highly recommend Idlewilde by the River for your next stay in Estes Park. On our last night we even saw a huge elk standing out in the front by the office cabin. That same night we were out grilling and saw a cinnamin colored bear right across the river from our cabin. It was AWESOME! Thanks again Donna and Lloyd!"
The Laux Family


"Our recent stay in Linger Longer was wonderful. The pictures do not show how spacious it is, very comfortable for the five of us. The screened in porch, porch swing, the chairs and fire pit are all a bonus, not to mention the hummingbirds and other wildlife. The sound of the Big Thompson is so soothing. Donna and Lloyd excel in guest service. We can see why they have so many repeat guests. We look forward to returning."
The Rich Family


"Our stay at Idlewide was more than we could have imagined. The cabin was clean and cozy, the screened in porch was great, we enjoyed sitting on the porch swing watching the hummingbirds and listening to the river right behind our cabin. Lloyd and Donna make you feel like family and we really appreciated the use of Donna's Safeway card so that we could save some money on our groceries. We have already made reservations for next year and can't wait to get back. "
Sherry Drumeller


"We had the best time at Idlewilde By the River. The wildlife was amazing from the hummingbirds to the wild turkey that roamed the property. The river was amazing as usual. The rushing sound was very soothing at night and envigorating during the day. This was our second stay and definitely won't be our last. Great location, great people, and wonderful accomodations! I look forward to a return visit."
