Great place, really nice owners. We got homemade banana bread upon check in. Highly recommended. Our trip was unplanned because of illness and they accommodated right away

Great experience for a last minute, quick trip to the area. We were attending a funeral. I called the week of and they had a room available and at a reduced rate because it was off season. They are also pet friendly. But realize they are required to keep some rooms dander free. The room was very clean and the bed comfortable. The owners are friendly and helpful. Side note-call for reservation. Do not request a room online. The new owners do not have access to the site that the previous owners created. Thank you Joanne and John for taking care of us.

Great location for hiking the multiple waterfalls in the area! Reserving the room and check in was easy. Room was clean and it was nice to have a microwave and small refrigerator. Across the street was a convenience store/gas station. Johanne was very welcoming and helpful!

Wonderful weekend stay while fishing on the North Umpqua River. Located in the heart of the renowned North Umpqua River. A Trading Post is across the road with a great deli, lots of convenience store items, and outdoor supplies. John was incredibly helpful throughout and even invited me to watch the Superbowl with him next to a large fireplace, television, and beautiful rustic decorations. Highly recommend!

One of The Best and coolest places we’ve ever stayed. Its an old lodge with just a few rooms that the owners bought and renovated. The rooms are clean, comfortable, reasonably priced. The owners Joanne and her husband are fantastic. Very warm, friendly, and accommodating. We stayed on a Friday night. After checking in we joined a few people at the beer/wine bar. We noticed more and more people arriving with food. After a few drinks we were treated to a potluck type dinner/gathering of their friends, neighbors, and other hotel guests. Things wrapped up around 8 pm. Great food. Wonderful people. (Note... I think this only happens on Fridays) Its a very low key, unique place. (Cools, bar area, outside deck, beautiful hardwood floors). We loved it. At times we felt we were in Cheers. Will definitely stay there again.

We loved our stay at the Idleyld Lodge. It was a quiet escape, where we felt extremely welcomed by the owners and locals. The new owners of the lodge fully renovated the space and it’s a comfortable and relaxing stay…truly a home away from home. We were also able to enjoy some live music provided by the locals in the main shared space of the lodge. Johanne, one of the owners, mentioned that she hosts live music every Friday and provides a home cooked meal. We were able to be a part of this on the Friday night that we stayed there and it was a real treat. We highly recommend staying at the Idleyld Lodge.

I stopped here on my way back to the coast after visiting Crater Lake. My daughter and I loved the property! The owners are fantastic and make you feel at home immediately. The rooms were very clean and quite comfortable. On arrival, I grabbed a beer from what was a thorough collection of some local favorites. The owner (wish I got her name) suggested some fun activities to try in the area and went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay. I'd definitely stay here again and highly recommend the experience!

This is a great small lodge. Wonderful area, banana bread on check in. Clean, neat room. WiFi was lacking except in game room, but everything else was wonderful. Hosts were great.
