    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.

    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.

    And Thanx for your Consideration

Michael was a great host, and he has maximized the space in this small cabin. The views were spectacular. The final few hundred yards of the drive up the mountain can be challenging in a two-wheel-drive car, even in the summer.

Amazing quiet and cozy retreat

Truly wonderful. It is a wonderful small, cozy retreat. It is quiet, and you don't feel the presence of anyone but yourself. My wife and I loved it. The host was very hospitable, and the whole process check in to check out very easy.

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

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.

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!

LOVED IT!

We loved our stay. My husband and I were taking a three day trip to get away and see a show at Red Rocks. We were shocked and amazed by the views from the Writers Nest. Even though you have a lot of neighbors, it is still like you are on a mountain by yourself.

Lovely and serene, yet convenient location.

We loved The Writer's Nest. Though we were aware of other properties being close by on out drive up, The Nest was secluded and quiet and the neighboring properties were quickly forgotten. We were glad we had 4-wheel drive, even going in the summer, but getting in was no problem that way. Beautiful views, lots of hummingbirds and other feathered friends, and several mule deer came right up close to the deck. Clean, quiet, and cozy; a fantastic romantic getaway!

Great Property and Sky

This is a great property on the east side of the mountain - beautiful sunrises, moonrises and star views. Michael is a great host and we look forward to seeing him again soon. Everything is clean and well organized. We took Michael's advice on hiking Maxwell falls and had a great hike, just a short drive away. We liked the Willow Creek restaurant on the north side of the lake in Evergreen, but cooked most of our meals at the Writer's Nest.

Beautiful mountain home

We had a wonderful time at Michael's beautiful property. It was very well kept up with gorgeous views and everything we needed to make it "home" for almost a week. Michael was a gracious host and greeted us and answered any questons that we might have regarding the town and restaurants, etc. We did have a bit of a challenge getting our Honda Civic up there at night when it was more challenging to see and would recommend a 4 wheel drive vehicle or a van as the roads are unpaved as you ascend the mountain. If you want quiet, privacy and beauty with all of the amenties, this is your place!
