Great Location

My family and I stayed for a week over spring break. We love Evergreen and have been many times. This cabin was in walking distance to the lake which we enjoyed walking around. We went skiing two days at Loveland and we felt the drive was close enenough. verdoable

February One Month Stay

The Ponderosa House was a quiet, comfortable haven to call home for the month. Enjoyed being so close to downtown Evergreen, trail walks and Evergreen Lake. The porch was a treat to warm in the sun or watch the frequent herd of deer in the yard. Our hosts were readily available. So thankful we chose Ponderosa House for our stay.

Evergreen Home

Amazing home in great neighborhood. Close to downtown restaurants and shopping. The home interior is very warm and inviting. The gas stone fireplace brings a cozy feeling to the house. Kitchen is large and well stocked. It snowed 18” while we were there. We hiked nearby trails in the snow and then came back to relax by the fire. Would definitely rent again.

It was an amazing place and absolutely gorgeous. We had deer in the yard everyday and herds of elk right within town! It was an easy access to the gorgeous lake. Everything we needed was in the cabin ready for us. It is cozy, quiet and not to mention the beds are so comfortable! 100would recommend!%

Wonderful cabin in idyllic location

This was the second time we stayed at Ponderosa this year. We love the location being able to walk to the lake and downtown Evergreen. The cabin is well appointed and has everything one would need. The best part is sitting out on the deck and watching elk walk by.

Great little cabin near lake and downtown

We stayed at Ponderosa for a week and had a wonderful time. The location is very convenient to everything and you can easily walk down to the lake and downtown. The home is well equipped and very comfortable. I would definitely stay there again in the future.

Awesome Cabin

The Ponderosa is awesome!! Clean, well stocked, located close to Evergreen lake and shops, and we cannot forget our Premier Guests…our precious wildlife! What a treat to see elk, deer, beavers and a rare glimpse of a coyote. This is our 4th visit to this cabin and we will always consider this our second home. The hosts are superb in every way.

Stay at the Ponderosa

My stay was excellent and everything was clean and tidy. It had everything I needed. The cabin was fantastic, the location great and the Elk and deer walking by every morning was a bonus. Would recommend it for any in wanting to stay in the mountains. The host Spike was the best. Always there with a immediate response to my questions.

Ponderosa House

Spike and Diane are fantastic hosts! Diane has managed to renovate an old property in need of repairs and updates and turned it into a wonderful vacation destination. She maintained the integrity and charm of the old rustic cabin, yet made some changes that provide modern amenities without losing the “cabin-charm”. We loved the property and they attend to every concern immediately. A 5 Star stay!

Awesome property

The pictures don’t do this place justice! A wonderful cabin with great amenities. You’re at the top of the hill and can walk down to the lake and then right into the picturesque town of Evergreen. Go enjoy the mountains and stay here - you’ll be glad you did!

Comfortable & serene

We enjoyed our stay. The home is comfortable and was well equipped for our month long stay. Much nicer than average. We noticed that one item hadn’t been replenished for an extended visit and it was delivered promptly. The neighborhood is quiet but the home is near the town, which is charming. My husband and I were easily able to secure daily admission to the beautiful local rec center. Be aware this home may not be suitable for the elderly or disabled, or even young children as the stairs going up to the two bedrooms upstairs are quite steep and there is no upstairs bath. Otherwise, I highly recommend this property.

Wedding Trip

We stayed in Evergreen for a family wedding but would definitely return. The town is cute and full of unique establishments. Lots of great hiking/biking in the area. The property was terrific and has a great location. Sitting on the deck and watching the Elk meander through the yard was a highlight.

We Loved the Ponderosa Mountain Home

Ponderosa Mountain Home is beautiful. Spotless with an airy modern kitchen, rooms are comfortable and spacious, charming, and outfitted with every amenity. The cabin is ideally located and served as home-base for day trips to Vail and Golden. We appreciated the proximity to Red Rocks - the night drive after a concert was definitely exhilarating along Upper Bear Creek Road. There are countless things to do in Evergreen and nearby Golden. On the few rainy days we had during our stay, the cabin had games, a large flatscreen to watch movies, and covered areas of the wraparound porch from which to view the passing elk. We appreciated Spike’s super quick friendly responses to our questions and can’t wait until our next stay!

Mountain Cabin Extraordinaire

The Ponderosa is everything anyone could want in a mountain cabin getaway! Clean, cozy, comfortable, full of amenities, and an ideal location in Evergreen. Early one morning looking through the windows, we counted over 70 elk passing through the yard....what an awesome experience! Spike is a super host! His attention to details and thoughtfulness was much appreciated. We highly recommend staying at the Ponderosa, and look forward to returning on one of our next trips to Colorado.

Lots of Elk! Great setup for a family vacation

Perfect for a small family reunion. In the midst of a dense family neighborhood, so noise consideration is paramount. Even so, the elk feel right at home amongst us all
