I chose Wildwood Inn at random. I combed through websites and had no special criteria for choosing a place to stay. I was to make this trip with my adult nephew, so it was a different situation than most 2 person accommodations were geared for. I chose Wildwood because of the spring special and the choice of rooms/suites.

We stayed in the Little Bear studio for three nights. These were the first three nights of my dream vacation to Colorado. I was not disappointed. The place was ALL the website said, and more. More being the human factor. I have never heard of a hotel that has a policy to not bother you. You ask for things. You don’t have to put the “do not disturb” sign up…they won’t. The studio was equipped with everything my nephew and I needed to have our own special Easter dinner. We used the grill, the oven, the microwave…everything was working, clean and easy to use. The soap was wonderful. The fireplace…awesome! They just about guaranteed we would see wildlife and we did, every day. Big horn sheep, a magpie, and the bull elk that was chomping grass outside our door the day we left. His pic is now my profile pic on Facebook!

I am a little emotional at times, but I SO wanted to hug the innkeepers when I left. They made a 45 year old dream come true! Most amazing place, most amazing people. If I can ever get back, you can bet I will stay at the Wildwood. I will certainly recommend it to ANYONE who takes a trip to Estes Park.

After we left Estes Park, we drove to Vail, Aspen and Colorado Springs…thank goodness that my first and most memorable interaction with Colorado was at Wildwood Inn in Estes Park. That part was the Colorado I had dreamed of. Wildwood made it come to life. Thank you so much.
