Idlewilde by the River

These cabins have a great location, right on the Big Thompson River, but they are old, not well maintained, and their cleaning crew needs training (or they just don't care). The shower was disgusting, dirty, moldy and the shower curtain had mold and a mysterious red algae growing on it (see photos). I wore my flip flops to take a shower. The bed was horrible, no support, and I think the lower half of my body was at a 45 degree angle from my head. Sheets were old and stained, not even sure if they were changed from the previous occupant. The foundation of our cabin (#5, Ataloa) is caving in, as the floor sloped down as you walked from the bedroom to the bathroom, and the toilet is unstable (wobbled when you sat on it). The carpet was stained. I spoke to the women staying in the #6 cabin next to us and they agreed that the cleanliness of their cabin was also not adequate. Thank goodness we were only there for one night. After we checked out, I spoke to and emailed the Operations Manager, Armand, and requested some monetary compensation for all the issues with our cabin. I never got a reply nor any refund. Do yourself a favor and try one of the many other cabin options in that area.

The cabin is a lovely set up with everything you can need. The view is beautiful in the back. Only thing is the screen on the back porch had holes and a burner on the stove doesn't work correctly but everything else was amazing and friendly environment

Great for RMNP visits. Stayed in #2 Hummingbird. Plenty of space for family of 4. Perfect outside of town landing point when visiting RMNP. No view of river from this particular cabin, but plenty of spots by the river to relax. Pros: clean, convenient to town and RMNP. Nice porch to sip coffee on a cool morning. Cons: Shower is short and small, had to bend down to get my head wet. Not a big deal, just an annoyance.

Very nice place Really enjoyed sitting by the river after a long day of hiking. The hot tub was also nice to relax in after a long day of hiking Water pressure was low.

Great cabin on the river. 3 br Linger Longer cabin was Older but awesome had all you need and more. Check-in and out was superb.

Everything was graat until it was uncomfortable to shower upstairs since it begain leaking water on the first floor
