Great stay!
After a long day of travel it was a wonderful surprise to stay at The Writers Nest in Evergreen CO. We found it to be a refreshing change from hotels. Quiet, clean, and enjoyed meeting Michael when he dropped by to welcome us. Though it rained most of our stay it was still a peaceful relaxing visit. Be sure to only use the directions Michael gives as it is a tricky drive to the property. We'd love to stay again the next time we are there.

Gorgeous scenery, great location, not as private as we thought.
The drive to the cabin is phenomenal. The trees and the views are breath taking. The steep incline is no joke, just go low and slow if you are in a front wheel drive vehicle. The room was cozy and sleeping with the windows open was awesome. The view is incredible. I was disappointed in the fact that my stay was not as private as I was hoping. The writers nest is a small apartment under a larger space/office that had people in it the whole time. We could hear them walking around and up and down the stairs to a joint laundry area I was unaware was a shared space. It made it hard to relax and I noticed we whispered a lot, if we could hear them they must be able to hear us. We felt more like we were crashing in a guys basement than we felt like we paid for an experience. Overall the room is nice and clean and sitting on the balcony watching the wind dance on top of the trees was magical. I just wish the romantic get away was as private as I was hoping for, and I wish I would have known before I paid.
Wonderful stay
We rented out 5 cabins for my wedding up there, and had a great time. Cabins were nice, some more roomy than others. We stayed at the Writer's Nest which was a perfect get away.
Pros: very clean, friendly staff, prompt staff, nice views, off the beaten path, great get-away location.
Cons:
They really should forcefully mention that you really should have a SUV. It's quite a vertical climb, and I can't imagine getting up there in winter without one. Fortunately, we have a Forester, but my dad was borrowing my Gti, which has sport suspension and is a bit lower. He made it up, but it could have easily damaged the undercarriage. The other thing that was a bit odd, were all the regulations posted throughout each cabin. They are posted in picture frames and there must have been 10 signs in every cabin. It begins to seem a bit intrusive. It literally tells you how many squares of TP to use. Apparently the Writer's Nest gets two more than the other cabins. Fewer signs and regulations would have been appreciated. Lastly, they are called "Evergreen cabins", but it is about 20 minutes from Evergreen, CO.
Between the pros and cons, the real question is would we stay again and would we recommend them to others. Yes, we would. As long as you are aware of the caveats, it's a great set of cabins. And Mike is super friendly and 'jonny on the spot'.
Great view! Loved everything about my stay.
It's was quiet, very clean, and just what I needed! Evergreen has tons to do but it was also nice to stay in the cabin.
Very secluded quiet
This was surprisingly nice, and I expected a lot. It is in all very secluded area in the mountains with great views. If you're looking to get away from the city noise and lose yourself in the mountains, this is for you
A great stay!
Writer's Nest was perfect for our visit - I wish we could have stayed longer. My daughter and I stayed for 2 nights . Writers Nest was clean, and well organized with everything we needed. We loved the deck looking over the valley and stream. Michael was very helpful with recommendations for hikes and places to eat. We visited Mt Evans and Echo Lake, the falls nearby and then had a beautiful drive down to Colorado Springs through Pike National Forest. We look forward to coming back sometime!
