Permit 24-120576STR



The Space:

Other than the foyer, the home is all on the 2nd level above the garage. We store things in there and the garage is not available for parking, but we try to keep it so you can hang out with the doors open and use it as a covered patio or workspace. The bedroom is large and has a king bed w/2 end tables. There's also a dresser for your items. One closet is ours that we keep locked and the other can be used, but is mainly for storage. The kitchen has everything you'd expect, and the counter overhang serves as the "dining area". The living room has a good sized couch and chair for lounging. The outdoor patio is a great place for coffee/hanging out/having a drink. This is our favorite place in the world. We sincerely hope you enjoy it and if you have any feedback for future guests we'd love to hear it. We also give discounts for repeat guests and would love to have this be a place you come back to regularly! We have made other interior updates not shown in the photos, but it will be better than what you see in pictures. We are in the planning and permitting process to add a gas fire pit and back deck with a hot tub. We will update the photos as soon as we can get it started and completed.



*The windows are great for views, but the Colorado sun is bright. We have a good curtain in the bedroom so it doesn't wake you up...sun rises EARLY in the summer here. We also just put up curtains in the living area based on guest feedback and requests.



Guest Access:

Keypad on the front door with a back up lock box and you can park anywhere in the driveway or under carport.



The Neighborhood:

The neighborhood is very quiet, secluded, and other than seeing some cars drive by you probably won't see anyone unless you go for a walk on Berry Bush Ln. The homes prior to ours are all unique, and sit on 1/2 to 2 acre lots. Once you get to our place, the tracts are all 20+ acres.



Why we LOVE Evergreen!!!



Nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Evergreen is the perfect year-round destination for outdoor enthusiasts and those seeking mountain-town charm just outside of Denver. Guests love our location for its unbeatable access to hiking, skiing, shopping, and Colorado’s endless outdoor activities.



• Hiking & Nature Trails: Just minutes from the famous Three Sisters Park, with miles of scenic trails for hiking, trail running, birdwatching, and mountain biking. Other nearby favorites include Elk Meadow Park, Evergreen Lake Trail, and Alderfer/Three Sisters Open Space.



• Skiing & Snowboarding: Hit the slopes at Echo Mountain, just 35 minutes away, for family-friendly skiing and snow tubing. If you’re looking for bigger mountains, Winter Park Resort and Summit County resorts like Keystone, Breckenridge, Copper, and Arapahoe Basin are all within easy reach for world-class skiing and snowboarding.



• Evergreen Lake: A year-round gem! In the summer, enjoy paddleboarding, kayaking, and fishing. In the winter, Evergreen Lake transforms into one of the largest outdoor ice-skating rinks in North America.



• Downtown Evergreen: Stroll through boutique shops, art galleries, coffee houses, and local restaurants with a true Colorado mountain-town vibe. Farmers markets, live music, and festivals bring the community together throughout the year.



• Outdoor Adventures: From hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding in warmer months to snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and sledding in winter, Evergreen offers endless ways to enjoy the outdoors. Wildlife sightings of elk, deer, and foxes are common, making every day feel like a nature escape.



• Day Trips & Access: Evergreen is only 30 minutes from Denver, making it easy to catch a concert at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, explore the Denver Art Museum, or head west to explore all of Summit County and Rocky Mountain National Park.



Evergreen truly delivers the best of both worlds...small-town mountain living with easy access to world-class skiing, hiking, shopping, and outdoor adventure. Whether you’re here to ski fresh powder, hike scenic trails, fish in alpine lakes, or relax with local dining and shopping, this neighborhood puts you right in the heart of it all.



We fell in love with Evergreen the first time we visited. It's our favorite place in the world and our least favorite to leave :). We hope you make as many memories as we have!



Getting Around:

We are surrounded on 3 sides by large acreage lots, and on the north side by 1/2-1 acre lot homes. We HIGHLY recommend 4WD vehicle and other than the great walks you can take, you'll need a vehicle to get around. Gas station, grocery, and restaurants are all within 5-10 min. You can park anywhere on the driveway or under carport...we like to use that space for grilling!



Other Things to Note:

*This is a mountain property and when it snows...it snows. During October through May we HIGHLY recommend a 4WD vehicle. While the driveway is pretty flat, it can get pretty difficult to get out of if you don't have 4WD.



*We have a person who comes by every other week to take trash to landfill. He will access the garage only.



*During the winter months, we have 2 snow plow contractors that come for any snow over 6". There have been times where they plowed and another foot of snow came down. Please watch the weather carefully. There have been times where we have parked at the end of the driveway just to make sure there were no issues getting out in case the plow couldn't come quick enough.



*Please explore! The creek is awesome, and so is..."just looking at the mountains & trees". There are detailed maps in the photos and with the check-in items showing the property lines. Our neighbors are very nice, but they don't like people walking on their property. Also use caution as there is a lot of wildlife out here. We've seen bears, deer, elk, porcupines, foxes, etc...



*Starlink is HERE, and So far it has been incredible. To date we've had no issues even in heavy snow.



*Water Quality Notes (Please Read)

Our home uses a private well with a professional-grade water softener, conditioner, and filtration system. The water is safe, regularly tested, and serviced often. Because we’re in the mountains, seasonal snowmelt can occasionally cause a natural, mild sulfur smell in the water. It’s rare, and most guests never notice it, but it can happen from time to time with well systems in Colorado. Although safe to drink...if you’re sensitive to smell or simply prefer, we recommend grabbing a case of bottled water for drinking. Showers, cooking, and everything else remain completely safe and normal. We want you to arrive with clear expectations and that this is a natural part of well water in our area and not considered a refund-eligible issue...but rest assured, it does not affect safety or the comfort of your stay.



*The home is located in a forested mountain setting, occasional insects or small bugs may be present despite thorough cleaning and regular pest control. The natural environment, seasonal weather changes, and surrounding wildlife make this a normal part of staying in remote mountain homes. While we take proactive steps to minimize this, it cannot be fully prevented, and we appreciate your understanding as you enjoy the peaceful, natural surroundings.



Interaction with Guests:

We partner with a couple people that help out when we're not in town. If we are in town, we'd love to meet you!
