The Writers Nest - Perfect Summer Location BEAT THE HEAT at 9000 Feet

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.

We had an awesome time staying at the writers cabin. We came into town for a concert at red rocks. The writers cabin was very quaint and gave a great little mountain escape for the weekend!

Cozy, cute cabin, perfect for 2. Really enjoyed our stay. All our needs met.

Cute place great view extremely gracious host will definitely plan on a return stay

Great place. If you like out of town and off the beaten path, this is the place. Cute, small, quiet. Just what we were looking for.

Excellent place to stay! Beautiful scenery and very quiet. Michael was very helpful and his driving directions were on point! The drive was beautiful on the way up the mountain. Plenty of things to do in Evergreen. Highly recommend!

Wonderful place to stay in the Colorado mountains. Michael is a GREAT host!!

Write up is very accurate, don't trust the GPS to get there, which Michael explained very well. Definitely need all wheel drive or 4 wheel drive. Really enjoyed the stay.

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 Kind of passive/aggressive…A little outdated lots of dust kind of like there may be few renters.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.

Property was clean and beautiful. Location was beyond remote which you just have to be prepared for

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.

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

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.

Very comfortable cabin in the mountains with detail decorating and comfort.
