The fully equipped Kitchen, full Bath, and ready to work Office including Internet Service with WiFi, and Direct TV appoint this peaceful, affordable, meticulously kept private residential lodging opportunity.

Located on a Dead-End Road eight miles west of Downtown Evergreen it has been said that People who visit the 'Writer's Nest' are either 'Lost or Invited'. Yet The 'Writers Nest' is conveniently located for day travel to our World Famous Mountain, and Skiing Communities west of Evergreen, or Fabulous Downtown Denver Colorado just 55 minutes down the hill.

At 'The Writer's Nest' you will awake to a stunning mountain view and sunrise right off the 'Great Plains'. At night during Spring and Summer you will peacefully sleep to the whispering sounds of 'Little Chicken Creek' just off your bedroom privacy deck.

'The Writer's Nest' is located in a year-round wonderland. Summer is a time to get out of the heat and into the Natural Air Conditioning of 80 degree days and 50 degree evenings in the high altitude clean mountain air.

The Writers Nest is the Lower level of the "Rockridge Cabin". We never rent the upper level to other guests when the Writers Nest is rented. The Writers Nest is a 100% Separate fully equipped Residence with private entrance and its own dedicated parking. I use the completely separate upper level as our office and in the spring summer and fall I come and go often. You will never know I am here.
If you would prefer a completely stand alone Vacation Residence see one of our other 5 Evergreen Colorado Cabins and Cottages. But first see the many reviews from past guests about the Writer's Nest, many who have returned multiple times.

Okay for the price

Quiet and remote. We knew that we wouldn’t be spending a lot of time at the unit was good for the price better than standard hotel room. Listing was a little vague made it seem like owner uses upper residence as office comes and goes but essentially he lives there. Example: we hiked a lot had rainy conditions and washed our shoes that had been rain soaked for next day. Put them in shared laundry area dyer to be dry for next day (late night, around 11:00) and rather than calling/texting us, the owner opened/turned off dryer twice. Kind of passive/aggressive…A little outdated lots of dust kind of like there may be few renters. Layout could be improved. Bed is right in front of sliding doors up against window with no blinds so you’re waking up with the sun around 6:15am. If bed was in larger living area and couch and kitchen table moved to the front, would provide a bit more twighlight if you are able to sleep in and early risers could enjoy coffee and sunrise in the sitting area(if moved to the front of unit). Read rental agreement thoroughly as typically, you would think that paying a cleaning fee would not require extensive cleaning prior to check out(including changing beds), especially if you have an early flight out. Many of the dishes, coffee pot, and amenity items listed that had to be requested after arrival needed to be washed before use. Crumbs in silverware drawer and toaster(didn’t use). Consider bringing your own pillow.

Mountain Property

It was adequate for a short stay. The deck did have a great view of the mountains although it faced east and the morning light made it a little uncomfortable to be out there. No deadbolts on the doors. It's a bit of a tough climb to get up to the property and I'm glad I had 4WD. The curtains on the patio doors were super thin and you'll be up as soon as the sun is. Nothing covering the window over the bed. I'm not sure why a125 dollar cleaning fee is required since the check out instructions require you to strip and change the beds, wash the linens, clean and replace everything in the kitchen, vacuum and wipe down the kitchen and bathrooms. The best things were abundant hot water and the owner is very nice.

3 perfect nights in the forest

The Nest was such a great place to get away from city life. Everything was exactly what I was hoping for. Made dinners and breakfast in the kitchen, morning coffee on the bedside deck overlooking the mountains and sounds of the rushing stream below. Sunrises and pitch black starry sky’s at night, I looked up and right away saw a shooting stay straight above me. Michael was a great host and wonderful to chat with about our common interests. I highly recommend the Writers Nest, Thanks Brian & Micky

It is what it is

Michael is an excellent writer and the property was fine. I would advise anyone wanting to stay to read the description/contract completely. I have no problem with the steep grade or navigating at night as I am a seasoned outdoorsman. My wife and I are use to cleaning up after ourselves and that wasn’t a big issue. I would not say it was a romantic stay because there is a lack of privacy when he’s right above you and there were no curtains over the bedroom window and he has a deck right above it. This was my first experience with a VRBO and I’m not sure if I will ever want to do it again. Dealing with a hotel is so much easier and less expensive in the long run. Did it make or ruin our trip….. no. It is what it is.

Beautiful view

Michael was very accessible and helpful with pre-stay guidance. Property is perfect for a couple or individual looking for a remote location. It is the lower level of a home that is occupied so not as private as expected, but if you are looking for a remote location to stay reasonably priced and hike the area, it is perfect!

The town of Evergreen, which is about 10 miles away has all the supplies, eating and drinking establishments you could ever need. The location of this property was centralized to all the areas of Colorado we had chosen to visit.

Mountain View

While the cabin was a bit smaller than anticipated, it was adequate for two adults. The view from the small deck was beautiful, facing SE so no sunsets but if you’re an early riser (which we are not, other than the day we left) a beautiful sunrise. Be advised the fridge is small so if you’re planning to cook and chill drinks then you may need to supplement with ice in a cooler, as we did. On the plus side there was a small dishwasher, which was a pleasant surprise.
