We had a great time staying at the castle. The kids loved all the little surprise hidey-holes, everyone loved the open living space and great kitchen. We wish we could have done more than one day/night. Our only suggestion was a bigger selection in games and puzzles, though we did love having a few options to spread out on the giant table! We didn’t get to try the sauna this time, but maybe next time we’ll stay in the winter and try it!
It’s a beautiful cabin with nice furnishings and a well-stocked kitchen! We all enjoyed the farm table, fire pit and sauna. The kids had fun exploring all the nooks and crannies. The only downsides were that it was a bit warm at night (we couldn’t open windows for that mountain breeze without letting bugs in…maybe have extra fans/window screens) and the single bathroom (we knew that going in; it’d be great if the studio had a bathroom to better accommodate larger groups). There was good communication with a responsive host (thanks, Chris!) and we appreciated the homey touches like the games, hammock and extra lanterns. Overall, you’ll have a lovely stay at the Evergreen Castle! We’d also recommend a stroll at Evergreen Lake and ice cream from the Colorado Creamery.
Had the opportunity to stay here for one night on our way through to Southwest Colorado. I have stayed in Denver on numerous occasions, but something appealed to me to stay a little further from the city and acclimate to the higher elevation. The house was charming, with nooks and crannies for my children to explore. The kitchen and living room combine for an open space where everyone can gather for preparing and eating meals. A few trails just down the road for a nice morning stroll. The additional living quarters is about 40 paces from the main building, so either plan to hold your overnight bladder or be prepared for a little bit of a walk. Overall we really enjoyed the unique and charming experience!

We had the best stay. Such a great property with so much to offer.
Our stay was perfect from beginning to end. Chris was so accommodating and easy to work with. The property was beautiful, clean, unique, and smelled so good upon arrival! We will absolutely be back!
We stayed at Evergreen Castle the night before our wedding and it was absolutely perfect. The house and property are so beautiful and there was so much space to accommodate all of our getting ready needs. Christopher was so kind and helpful coordinating our stay. 10/10 would stay again
