Home Away from Home

This is at least 6 times we have stayed at the Ponderosa and it never disappoints! Love seeing (from a distance) the wildlife…that’s always a treat! Always neat and tidy, clean, and our host is nearby to answer any questions! We have already booked this place this coming fall and will always consider this “our home away from home.”

Check-in was easy. The property owner communicated days ahead how to gain access. The kitchen is great! We cook and had everything we needed (pots pans etc). The kitchen is a good size with clear view of large great room. The kitchen has good lighting and large windows which I like. There is a good amount of seating in the great room. The bedrooms were a good size for our group.

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.

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.

Thank you for your kind review. And thank you for being such perfect guests. It was such a pleasure having you at the Ponderosa. Not only did you take perfect care of the house, you noticed things I would have missed until it was too late. Like two deck chairs missing a rubber guard and putting them on the far side of the table. I would have missed that until there was a deep gash on the deck. Thank you for everything, for all your attentiveness and kindness. Enjoy your new home.

Thank you for your kind review. But as they wrote, Darlene and Clayton are like family. Except they probably take better care of the Ponderosa than most people do of their own homes. They are wonderful, considerate guests and are ALWAYS welcome whenever they wish and for as long.

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.

We needed a cabin in Evergreen that would hold 6 adults for a long weekend when we were there to celebrate our son’s wedding. This was the perfect place. Not only was it close to downtown and the lake, we discovered that it was within walking distance of our son’s home too. Each day deer came by and looked in the window at us, and on our last day two elk and their babies wandered by also. We stayed inside and watched the wildlife through the windows. We took full advantage of the kitchen and grilled burgers and steaks twice. Eating on the patio in the cool evening was lovely. Even though there were neighbors on both sides it felt like we were in a secluded cabin in the woods. We will definitely be back more often and take advantage of this place. It is so lovely and convenient and we had a wonderful time.
