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 ##### BRIAN DANIEL S. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Chris W. Aug 13, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Okay for the price 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 Kind of passive/aggressive…A little outdated lots of dust kind of like there may be few renters.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. ##### Chris W. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael F.

Sep 22, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Beautiful view Michael was very accessible and helpful with pre-stay guidance. Property is perfect for a couple or individual looking for a remote location. It is the lower level of a home that is occupied so not as private as expected, but if you are looking for a remote location to stay reasonably priced and hike the area, it is perfect! ##### Tim F.

What a wonderful relaxing weekend! Cozy with gorgeous views. First night we had 9 deer feeding just feet away from deck and every morning a red fox would come through property. Michael was a great host. Just a great time!! ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roger M. Jul 17, 2018 #### LOVED IT! We loved our stay. My husband and I were taking a three day trip to get away and see a show at Red Rocks. We were shocked and amazed by the views from the Writers Nest. Even though you have a lot of neighbors, it is still like you are on a mountain by yourself. ##### Roger M. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff H. Jul 5, 2018 #### Lovely and serene, yet convenient location. We loved The Writer's Nest. Though we were aware of other properties being close by on out drive up, The Nest was secluded and quiet and the neighboring properties were quickly forgotten. We were glad we had 4-wheel drive, even going in the summer, but getting in was no problem that way. Beautiful views, lots of hummingbirds and other feathered friends, and several mule deer came right up close to the deck. Clean, quiet, and cozy; a fantastic romantic getaway! ##### Jeff H.

Clean, remote and just lovely views. The Host was friendly, engaging and helpful. I was able to do my writing without any problems. Thank you, Michael! Katie ##### Katie W.

Nov 24, 2013 #### Great Property and Sky This is a great property on the east side of the mountain - beautiful sunrises, moonrises and star views. Michael is a great host and we look forward to seeing him again soon. Everything is clean and well organized. We took Michael's advice on hiking Maxwell falls and had a great hike, just a short drive away. We liked the Willow Creek restaurant on the north side of the lake in Evergreen, but cooked most of our meals at the Writer's Nest. ##### Steve S. ### 4/10 Poor #### don R. Aug 8, 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Location, listing accuracy #### Writers Nest Too remote. OK for an overnight or weekend but too small for longer. Fridge wouldn’t hold a half gallon jug. Really small kitchen area ##### don R.

It was very well kept up with gorgeous views and everything we needed to make it "home" for almost a week. Michael was a gracious host and greeted us and answered any questons that we might have regarding the town and restaurants, etc. We did have a bit of a challenge getting our Honda Civic up there at night when it was more challenging to see and would recommend a 4 wheel drive vehicle or a van as the roads are unpaved as you ascend the mountain. If you want quiet, privacy and beauty with all of the amenties, this is your place!

It met and exceeded my expectations. The quiet, the beauty of the decor and the view, the convenience and attention to detail were all capped off by Michael's warm and considerate style of hosting. Although I was alone, I felt safe and secure. And while I had all the privacy I wanted, I knew I could get help or answers to my questions at any time. It was a magical experience! ##### Pam G. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Private Yard-Walk to Children Hospital! 30 Day Min](https://www.expedia.ca/Denver-Hotels-Private-Yard-Walk-To-Children-Hospital-30-Day-Min.h83696824.Hotel-Information) > > [Pikes Peak Ranch - Elk Ridge Cabin](https://www.expedia.ca/Colorado-Springs-Hotels-Pikes-Peak-Ranch-Elk-Ridge-Cabin.h34579468.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Intl-Airport-Hotels.0-aYVR-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > ['wildmanor Ranch' Near Red Rocks w/ Hot Tub!](https://www.expedia.ca/Denver-Hotels-Wildmanor-Ranch-Rocky-Mountain-Hideaway.h93575745.Hotel-Information) > > [Whispering Pines - LUXURY Cabin-Hot Tub, Fireplace, Huge Deck, Pool Tbl, 6 Acres](https://www.expedia.ca/Colorado-Springs-Hotels-NEW-Cabin-In-The-Woods.h46551435.Hotel-Information) > > [The Dream-like Garden Oasis in Sloan's Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Denver-Hotels-The-Dream-Like-Garden-Oasis-In-Sloans-Lake.h35177566.Hotel-Information) > > [4 Mi to Fossil Beds: Private Log Cabin on 3 Acres](https://www.expedia.ca/Colorado-Springs-Hotels-4-Mi-To-Fossil-Beds-Private-Log-Cabin-On-3-Acres.h110960491.Hotel-Information) > > [TownePlace Suites by Marriott Denver North/Thornton](https://www.expedia.ca/Denver-Hotels-TownePlace-Suites-Denver-North-Thornton.h101762479.Hotel-Information) > > [Woodland Country Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Colorado-Springs-Hotels-Woodland-Country-Lodge.h106668223.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Suites Denver International Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Denver-Hotels-Comfort-Suites-Denver-International-Airport.h23533692.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Peña Station/Denver Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Denver-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-DenverPena-Station.h38322887.Hotel-Information) > > [Beautiful, new and spacious walk out basement](https://www.expedia.ca/Denver-Hotels-Beautiful.h91099291.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels.d178315.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Farmhouse on horse ranch in Arvada, in convenient but quiet location!](https://www.expedia.ca/Denver-Hotels-Farmhouse-On-Horse-Ranch-In-Arvada.h88478577.Hotel-Information) > > [Rockhaven- Private Cabin and Hot Tub & EV Charger](https://www.expedia.ca/Colorado-Springs-Hotels-Rockhaven-Retreat-With-HOT-TUB.h29630987.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Edmonton International Airport (YEG) to Rio de Janeiro (GIG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/gig/edmonton-to-rio-de-janeiro) > > [Flights from New York, NY (NYC-All Airports) to Los Angeles, CA (LAX-Los Angeles Intl.)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/nyc/lax/new-york-to-los-angeles) > > [Flights from Luang Prabang (LPQ) to Richmond (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/lpq/yvr/luang-prabang-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from SeaTac (SEA) to Winnipeg (YWG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/sea/ywg/seattle-to-winnipeg) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Scarborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Scarborough.d6070427.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Activities ### Packages > [Walt Disney World® Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Walt-Disney-World-Resort-Orlando.d6034120.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Cooter's Nashville](https://www.expedia.ca/Cooters-Nashville-Opryland.d6322771.Vacation-Attraction) ### Vacation Rentals
