Testimonials

Having a hot cup of coffee in morning or evening by the river was so relaxing it makes you forget about life for awhile. The location was quiet and you are not far from the entrance to the RMNP. We will definitely be back.

Staying at Idlewilde by the River Cabins was nothing short of magical. The location is unbeatable—tucked right along the river, surrounded by towering pines, with the soothing sound of river water flowing just outside your door. We stayed in the Ataloa cabin which literlly sits on the waters edge, and I highly suggest this cabin.

The cabins strike the perfect balance of rustic charm and but just enough modern comfort: cozy, spotless, and pretty well stocked with everything you need. And decent cooking wear which always makes a difference if you like to cook.

Staff member was responsive immediately and was also kind enough to allow us a later check out.

Whether you’re sitting by the rivers edge, or wandering along its banks, or just enjoying the peace and quiet from your private deck, it’s the kind of place that makes you slow down and breathe a little deeper.

We left completely recharged and already can’t wait to come back. If you’re looking for a serene mountain getaway with true Colorado charm, this is it.

We took a needed family trip and we couldn’t of been more happy with this place
The grounds were well maintained and the Cabin was spotless and smelled great and it had everything we needed

Very helpful and friendly people! So beautiful and relaxing! Ready to come back! There is no place this beautiful and perfect this close to the entrance of Rocky Mountain national Park!!

Location: Could not have been better - we were right on the water and loved it. Short drive to Estes Park.
Service: Booked online, sent a code to get in, never spoke to a single person before/during/after our stay.
Room/cabin: Rustic and clean, perfect for an overnight. Nothing fancy, but everything we needed.

Wow! What an amazing place! Charming and rustic 1930’s cabins clean, cozy, and stocked with all the essentials. Gorgeous location on the river just outside the main drag of Estes Park. Quick and easy to get to RMNP. The weather turned cold while we were there and we had a problem with our heat. We called and Alex came and fixed it for us right away! Wonderful vacation. We’ll be back!

Our family of 6 seniors truly enjoyed our stay in Naughty Pine. The cabin provided much more than we expected and we were quite comfortable. The outside was perfect and the deer and elk cooperated beautifully for pictures! It was a new experience for four of us and two of us were repeats. Management was very patient as we navigated on-line for the first time.

Our cabin at Idlewilde was spotless, pleasantly decorated, and spacious. The kitchen was well-stocked with cooking equipment. The property borders on the Big Thompson River and the cascade of water over the rocks make a lovely sound to sleep to. Highly recommended!
