- Shay Muhonen6/24/2025Such a lovely place to stay, our family all stayed in the rooms for a wedding. Firepit and hot tub very peaceful, and rooms were clean and had hot water. Some mountain cabin hotels are old and run down in Colorado but it didn't feel that way here. Calling ahead they were able to allow early or late check in as well which was very helpful for people coming on different flights.read moreread lessNeil Sickendick7/14/2025What a great place. We stayed in jubilee suite with our two kids and had a very comfortable visit. The suite was very nice with all the comforts of home. The grounds are beautiful and extremely well cared for. Hot tub, fire pit seating area, and other gathering areas outside were great. The owners clearly have both passion and talent for running this lodge, and I felt lucky to get to stay there. We had never been to evergreen before, and now I look forward to returning.read moreread less

Friends stayed in other rooms that were all well appointed. Each has its own cute personality.
Enjoyed the hot tub. The koi pond is very clean & pretty. Saw female elk on property.very nice chicken coop.
Emily is very nice & willing to accommodate requests. Located about 20 miles from Denver.read moreread less - Cynthia Y6/18/2024Tommy and Lisa have the perfect Colorado getaway that is conveniently located and well appointed.
I was organizing a reunion long weekend stay for seven families, and Lisa was gracious on the phone from the early inquiry stages, helpfully answering all my questions and of all the lodges I called. She made me feel like I was truly talking to someone who cared about my group’s experience and was flexible with our booking.
We booked almost all the available cottages and having visited each one, can confidently say that you can find a cottage that is perfect for your needs.
For the couples looking for a romantic getaway, stay at Enchanted with the high vaulted ceiling, or Gracious with the jetted bath tub.
For families with children, there's Jubilee with a large living area space, and Bountiful with a ladder that leads to a lofted space - perfect for "bedtime sleepover dance parties".
There’s wonderful common areas - fireplace to gather around, hot tub to enjoy the chilly evening, pergola to eat communally, and a large grass area for children and pets to play. Not to mention the fantastic landscaping and the chickens with great names!
Tommy and Lisa are always just a phone call away, each room smells clean when you enter, and do read the binder in each room! There’s fantastic information about the lodge, and importantly, pages of take out options, some of which are just 3 mins drive away.
I would be delighted to stay at Alpen Way again anytime, and the other families in my group say the same.read moreread less - Fietje Becker1/26/2026I was in Denver for work and went on a little 2-day-trip with a colleague and my former host-sister from being an exchange student. I found this place on booking.com and thought it would be the perfect fit for a night in the mountains.
After spending a relaxing evening, a restful night and a beautiful morning I can say that this was the best choice for our little trip. We stayed in the Jubilee Suite, which was incredibly spacious and cozy at the same time. We loved the big fireplace, which was perfect to warm up after a day in the mountains. We also loved the comfy beds and the view from the patio, which allowed us to watch deer climbing the rocks while we were sipping coffee.
Another plus was definitely the outside hot tub, where we sat in the evening talking, watching the stars and waiting for more wildlife to show up. The only downside is the way back into the room at 8°F while being soakingly wet, but we managed and sat right in front of the fireplace again.
Overall this was the perfect location, such a great experience and the hosts, Lisa and Tommy, were just amazing. Felt at home from the minute we arrived and I will definitely be back the next time I come to Colorado! 🙂read moreread less - John Morton6/04/2026We had a very nice stay at Alpen Way Chalet Mtn Lodge. The room was clean and very comfortable and the grounds very quiet and relaxing. The location is great - close to downtown and the lodge. We had the Enchanted room which hands a very nice deck and fire pit.read moreread less
- Fluffy “Bubbler of Mudpuppies” Boros5/15/2026If you want to live a life of splendor and magnificence, please consider booking a stay at Alpen Way!
We stayed at the Bountiful Cabin, and loved the experience. The rooms were clean and well-maintained. We slept very well in the comfortable beds, and enjoyed home-cooked breakfasts each morning in the well-stocked kitchen area. The private outdoor dining area is charming. On several occasions, elk wandered through the grounds, which was fun to watch.
The owners, Mrs. and Mr. Galapagos McChalkFactory, are pleasant, lovely people who went out of their way to make us feel comfortable despite the fact that we are visitors to this planet. The property manager, Ms. Floofer Extravaganza, is delightful, extremely attentive, and very helpful. On several occasions we were in the process of texting her to request a minor household item such as an extra towel, only to have her show up at our door with that exact item before we could even finish typing the request. Uncanny and marvelous!
Overall, this is a great place to stay, and we look forward to visiting again!read moreread less

Accommodated multigenerational family travel Super duper best bed EVER. Perhaps it was the subzero temps outside or the subzero drafts coming in the door. Either way, our cabins (Daisy, Bountiful,Carefree and the honeymoon suite) allowed us to have private spaces and meet together too. Specific to Daisy: The bed was better than a Marriott timeshare we had just come from. The toilet area seemed recently remodeled keep it going with freshening up the shower grout : ) The living room furniture was comfortable and clean. The kitchen included all we needed, including a dishwasher. When the snow came , the property was plowed and shoveled promptly in the morning. We didn’t enjoy any outdoor amenities due to the cold. We appreciate the host’s policies to maintain a clean hot tub. Thank you for a great experience at your historic property.read moreread less- Michael S7/13/2026We rented the Bountiful Cabin for two nights and were impressed with all of the small details and amenities provided for us. It was the perfect setting for us as we were able to relax on the private patio and cook meals using both the full kitchen and private grill.
The cabin is very clean and accommodating. The master bedroom is very spacious and the bed is very comfortable. There is a nice sitting area in the master room, as well, with very comfortable chairs.
The kitchen is pretty well stocked with practically everything you need to cook and grill with. There is plenty of glassware if you want to enjoy a nice drink on the rocks or a glass of wine. They even supplied drinkware that is common area friendly.
The whole property is very well maintained and I would highly recommend taking the time to explore it.
Overall the property is a very quiet and romantic setting. It was the perfect retreat for us and we cannot wait to return!read moreread lessRichard Mihans II4/25/2024My partner and I stayed for three nights this past March and I must say everything was amazing! We were also there for the blizzard, although I'm not sure local Coloradans would refer to it as a blizzard, but being from Louisiana it was definitely a blizzard to us, and it was the most amazingly tranquil and magical experience getting to see all the snow and ice in an absolutely beautiful place. Tommy and Lisa went above and beyond in all areas and were extremely helpful as we navigated the local terrain, as well as some of the places we had hoped we would experience while there (we went to the hot springs in Idaho Springs and we highly recommend!) We will definitely stay again, and hopefully will come at a warmer time of year, so that we may see some wildlife. We didn't get to see any critters, although I know that they're there in the background. At any rate, if you're on the fence ovrer where to stay-- Get off of the fence because this is absolutely where you want to stay while in Evergreen, Colorado. Thank you so much for everything, we will be back....read moreread less - Ronan O'C8/18/2025We stayed in a number of hotels and apartments during vacation and this is the nicest by far. The chalets are unique and full of character with everything necessary to self cater including a BBQ. A great place to relax for a few days. The grounds are beautiful and include a fish pool, gazebo area , outdoor seating and a fire pit. Lots of local wildlife pass through and we saw deer and elk! Highly recommend - we will back if we are the area again…read moreread less

Evergreen's Finest! We stayed here to attend a concert at Red Rocks. It was a cozy, well appointed, clean cabin like room. We had coffee and all the fixings in the room (always a plus!) with lovely bathroom amenities. We were offered blankets for the concert which we should have taken them up on because we froze! (our fault!) Grounds are gorgeous with a stream running through it and chickens that had the most fun names! We didn't use the jacuzzi, but nice to know for next time. Lisa was lovely. Can't wait to go back.read moreread less

- Marissa Mattson3/26/2024Alpen Way Chalet is an adorable little lodge in Evergreen, complete with a fire pit, a creek, and chickens. We stayed in the Jubilee Suite (there were 5 of us) and we could not have asked for better lodging! Our housekeeper, Emily, did a fantastic job getting our room ready for us; plenty of towels, dishes, soap in the soap dispensers, and chocolate candies! The couple who own the lodge were very friendly and clearly were proud of their work. They were also very informative about events and places in Evergreen for us to visit.
We visited at the end of March, so there was a lot of snow, some sidewalks and paths had patches still covering them, and there were not many events for us to go to, but it was very peaceful and relaxing, and still 100% worth it! We even got to see elk on two separate occasions while driving, and lots of ducks.
We have already started talking to our family members about this place, and we will definitely vacation here again.read moreread less - Ott 1115/31/2026The location is so convenient for activities, shops and restaurants of Evergreen as well as a launching point for site seeing in the area.
The rooms are comfortable and appointed with warm decor.
We stayed in the Daisy Suite and while it is a lower level unit with a lower ceiling, it is both spacious and cozy. It is very private with and entrance on the back side of the main building that takes you by a pleasant water feature, flowers and frequent wildlife.
We would stay in that very room again.read moreread less - Becky Skrabski8/15/2025My husband & I stayed at Alpen Way to attend a family wedding at Evergreen Lake. Our room was the Farmhouse - very clean & comfortable, including an outdoor patio table. Nice amenities including a microwave, mini-fridge, coffee maker. Happy to have real coffee mugs, wine glasses, corkscrew, some flatware. Didn't spend much time in the outside spaces (hot tub, fire pit, etc) which are lovely. The Chalet is on a road that was busier than expected. We did walk to the awesome little town of Evergreen (stellar restaurants, galleries, gift shops), but the walk was on the road which is under construction - not recommended. Most often, we drove to town. Evergreen Lake is pretty - we rented kayaks for an afternoon which was fun. The Chalet owners are very nice. Would definitely come back.read moreread less

- Tim Hall6/08/2026Very nice mountain chalet on the edge of Evergreen, CO. Great places to eat and shop less than a mile away in Evergreen and also convenient to Red Rocks… 10 miles through the canyon. I stayed in the Farmhouse room and it was definitely my style and very clean and nicely decorated. The grounds were very nice and several amenities such as an outdoor Gas, fire pit and Adirondack chairs… Very relaxing!read moreread less

Perfectly quiet, cozy retreat! We were in the area for a concert at Red Rocks Amphitheater and decided to find something local, family owned instead of a hotel in the city. What a wonderful place to stay! The drive to the venue is a short, scenic and beautiful drive. The owner was so welcoming and gave us great tips for local farm to table eateries the rooms were clean and cozy and felt like coming home and the property is beautiful and convenient. I would highly recommend this property for a nice quiet retreat!read moreread less- Gary Mitchell Jr12/22/2024What are great place to stay!
We had an amazing cabin that was perfect. Very well decorated and tasteful. And the owners are super cool folks that really care about their customers. There is a bar and grill close to the hotel called Cactus Jacks that was really fun too! Perfect for any occasion too, the grounds are beautiful and there is a creek right there. Can't say enough it was just a really nice time we will be back!read moreread less - Steve G9/08/2024While not fancy in any way, this lodge was relaxing and comfortable with great attention to detail. The grounds are phenomenal with fire pit, hot tub, chickens and very well landscaped pathways. We saw Elk wandering through both days we were there, which was a bonus. If you are not pretentious, you will love this place!read moreread less
