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 Kind of passive/aggressive…A little outdated lots of dust kind of like there may be few renters.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

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.

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. 8 Aug 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. ### 2/10 Terrible #### Kenya G. 13 Jun 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Not like the pictures It was not At all like the pictures it showed. Also there is another person staying on top and you can heart them walkin around all night and day. NO PRIVACY ##### Kenya G. Stayed 3 nights in May 2022
