Evergreen's BEST Views? This Colorado B&B Will BLOW You Away!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into a review of Evergreen's BEST Views? This Colorado B&B Will BLOW You Away! and, frankly, I'm already buzzing. Forget those perfectly manicured travel blogs; this is gonna be raw, unvarnished, and maybe a little bit… messy. Let's be real, who doesn't love a good B&B? Especially one promising epic views in Colorado.
First Impressions: The View (Duh!)
Okay, so first things first: YES. The views. They're not just good, they're ridiculous. Seriously, I swear I spent a solid hour just staring out the window when I first got there. Pictures? They don't do it justice. You're talking mountains, valleys, the whole shebang. I’m pretty sure I saw a bald eagle doing a loop-de-loop. Pure, unadulterated bliss. My initial reaction? Probably something like, "Holy moly, that's actually breathtaking." (And maybe a silent prayer that my camera could capture even a fraction of the beauty.)
Accessibility and the Nitty-Gritty: The Less Glamorous Stuff (But Important!)
Okay, so accessibility. This is where things get… a little less perfect. I need to address this head-on, because it's crucial. The website claims to have Facilities for disabled guests, but the specifics are… vague. They have an elevator, which is great, but I didn't see a ton of other explicit accommodations. Check-in/out [express] and Check-in/out [private] are available, so that's a plus. The car park [free of charge] and car park [on-site] are definitely welcomed (and a necessity in Colorado!), but it would be nice to have clarity on the accessibility of those. Definitely call ahead and clarify your specific needs if accessibility is a major concern. They also mention a concierge and doorman, so hopefully, they are helpful in any situation.
Cleanliness and That COVID-19 Stuff
Look, navigating the world post-pandemic is still a bit of a minefield. I appreciated that they take it seriously, but I'm going to be real - it's impossible to tell how thorough they really are! I saw Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer, and Rooms sanitized between stays, which is all great. They also offer Room sanitization opt-out available, which is an interesting touch. I mean, I generally appreciate the effort, but I'm not sure how much I truly trust these things. However, given how many hotels aren't doing ANY of this, I applaud their efforts. Cashless payment service and contactless check-in/out are a plus.
The Room: Where the Magic Happens (Maybe)
Alright, let's talk room, shall we? Mine was… pretty darn good. They offer Air conditioning (thank GOD – Colorado sun can be brutal!), bathrobes, blackout curtains (essential for sleeping in), a coffee/tea maker, daily housekeeping (loved that!), a desk (good for pretending to work), hair dryer, a high floor, in-room safe box, internet access – wireless, ironing facilities, mini bar, a private bathroom, refrigerator, satellite/cable channels, a separate shower/bathtub, slippers, smoke detector, soundproofing, telephone, toiletries, towels, wake-up service, and Wi-Fi [free]. WHEW! That's a lot! The bed was comfy enough, the linens were clean, and the window that opens was a godsend (fresh mountain air!). I can also confirm they offer Complimentary tea. And, honestly, that's a major selling point for me.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Fueling the Adventure
This is where Evergreen's BEST Views really shines. I'm a foodie, so this is where my heart (and stomach) truly opened.
- Breakfast [buffet]: Yep, they have a buffet. And it’s good! I mean, it's not Michelin-star quality, but the buffet in restaurant was definitely above average. They offer the standard Western breakfast and some Asian breakfast options. I'm talking fluffy pancakes, crispy bacon, and all the scrambled eggs a person could consume.
- Restaurants: There are several, including a Vegetarian restaurant and one with Asian cuisine in restaurant. I tried the local restaurant and it was a feast. I am definitely adding it to my "must-go" list.
- Happy hour: Yes! I'm there. This is a Bar with a Poolside bar, also offering a bottle of water. It's not the cheapest drinks in the world, but the ambiance makes up for it.
- Other bits: They include a Coffee shop, desserts in restaurant, salad in restaurant, and even soup in restaurant.
Things to Do (Besides Staring at the View)
Okay, so you've gazed at the mountains until your eyes are watering. Now what?
- Ways to relax: They offer a whole smorgasbord of options. The biggie? Spa, Spa/sauna, Sauna, Steamroom. I spent a solid afternoon in the spa, and it was heaven. I'm talking Body scrub, Body wrap, and Massage. The Pool with view is to die for. I also saw a Gym/fitness.
- Other activities: They offer some great options, including Family/child friendly, which is a bonus. They also list Meeting/banquet facilities, Meetings, Seminars, and Indoor venue for special events.
Services and Conveniences: The Behind-the-Scenes Goodness
Okay, this is where the B&B goes the extra mile. Luggage storage, Laundry service, Concierge, Daily housekeeping, Cash withdrawal, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Food delivery, Gift/souvenir shop. The list goes on!
For the Kids:
They offer Babysitting service, Kids meal. That's nice.

Colorado Chaos: Evergreen Edition - A Bed & Breakfast Odyssey (With Beautiful Views and a Side of Existential Dread)
(Day 1: Arrival and Altitude Angst)
- 2:00 PM: Arrive at Denver International Airport (DIA). Try not to die of boredom waiting for my luggage. Seriously, DIA is a labyrinth designed by a sadist.
- 3:00 PM: Rental car pickup. Pray to the insurance gods that I don't accidentally reverse into a herd of bewildered bison. (That's a joke. Mostly.)
- 3:30 PM - 5:00 PM: The Drive. Commence the scenic drive to Evergreen. The road? Absolutely gorgeous. The driver? Me. And I’m also pretty sure an entire bag of Goldfish crackers has found its way into the passenger seat. Scenic views? Absolutely. Will I actually find the right place? Jury is still out.
- 6:00 PM: Check into "The Mountain View Manor" (or whatever it's actually called). OH. MY. GOD. The view. Seriously, I think I might actually cry (in a good way) at the majestic mountain range. The room? Cozy, with a fireplace that probably hasn't seen a fire since the Reagan administration, but hey, it looks pretty. I'm already fantasizing about snuggling up in a giant, fluffy robe.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner at "The Rustic Grub." (Just kidding, I made that name up, but it will definitely feel that way). I’m already picturing the food. Is the food any good? Only one way to find out. I'm already planning my "hangry" response to any potential culinary disappointments. Here's to mountain food!
- 9:00 PM: Attempt to conquer "altitude sickness." Drink a gallon of water, take two deep breaths, and try not to hyperventilate while staring at the stars. The air is thin up here, and my lungs feel like they're wearing a pair of incredibly tight skinny jeans.
(Day 2: Hiking, Hangriness, and a Heavenly Hot Tub)
- 7:00 AM: Wake up. Feel like a dehydrated prune. Drink more water. Swear off all carbs. (Yeah, that’ll last.)
- 8:00 AM: Breakfast at the B&B. Hopefully, it's homemade waffles with fresh berries. Or I'm going to go straight to hell.
- 9:00 AM: Attempt at a hike. "Attempt" is the operative word here. Trail chosen based on perceived ease; however, quickly discover that "easy" in Colorado means "challenging for a seasoned mountain goat." I’m going to love this.
- 11:00 AM: Hangriness strikes. Find a snack. This is a serious emergency. I am already picturing myself as one of the main characters in a horror film. This is a big deal.
- 12:00 PM: Reward myself with a burger at a place with a patio.
- 1:00 PM: Back in the car!
- 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM: Back in the car? Oh, the car is the main character. Driving to the mountains, there is more to drive, so I get lost. This is beautiful.
- 6:00 PM: Post-hike indulgence: The hot tub! Oh, sweet, blessed hot tub, you are the reason I came here. Soak until my skin resembles a wrinkled raisin. Reflect on all the bad decisions that still make me happy and all the good decisions that probably won't.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner at a different restaurant. Maybe I'll order something weird because… why not? Embrace the local cuisine. Or at least feign enthusiasm.
- 9:00 PM: Netflix and chill in the room. Or Netflix and try not to fall asleep from altitude sickness. Either way: win.
(Day 3: Art, Animals, and the Agony of Leaving)
- 8:00 AM: Another glorious breakfast (hopefully). This is crucial for my sanity.
- 9:00 AM: Visit a local art gallery. Pretending to be cultured. Possibly purchase a painting of a majestic moose wearing a top hat. Because why not?
- 11:00 AM: Discovering the local wildlife. The wildlife is probably watching me too.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch at a quaint cafe. Possibly cry at the adorableness of it all.
- 1:00 PM: Hike. I guess.
- 3:00 PM: One last, desperate attempt to soak up the views. Sit on the porch of the B&B, breathe in the crisp mountain air, and try to etch the feeling into my very soul. Prepare for the inevitable return to reality.
- 4:00 PM: Pack. Curse the fact that my jeans are still too tight.
- 5:00 PM: Check out. Say goodbye to the view. Promise myself I'll come back… eventually… when I'm less of a hot mess.
- 5:30 PM: Start the drive back. Feel a knot of sadness in my stomach. This is the worst part of vacation.
- 6:30 PM: Drop off the car.
- 7:30 PM: Plane and the airport.
- 8:00 PM: Flight. Adios, Colorado. You magnificent, majestic, slightly terrifying beast. Until next time.
(Post-Trip Debriefing: The Aftermath)
- Week 1: Relive the trip through blurry photos and half-remembered conversations. Long for the mountains. Immediately start planning the next escape.
- Month 1: Realize I need to work out. Remember fondly all the wonderful memories I made. Consider starting a new life as a mountain hermit.
- Forever: Always remember the beauty of Evergreen. And maybe, just maybe, learn not to overpack.
And there you have it. A messy, honest, slightly terrifying, and hopefully hilarious itinerary for an Evergreen adventure. Now go forth, and embrace the chaos!
Unveiling Ascott Raffles City Chengdu: China's Most Luxurious Secret?
What's the deal with... *life*? (Seriously, though, it can be confusing.)
Oh, Life. The big, weird, confusing, beautiful, frustrating, utterly bonkers thing. Look, if I had one definitive answer, I'd be on a yacht somewhere sipping something ridiculously expensive, not staring at a blinking cursor. But let's break it down a little, yeah?
First, expectations vs. reality is a CRUEL mistress. You think you'll be this perfectly put-together adult, conquering the world? Nope. You'll probably be wearing mismatched socks, eating cold pizza for breakfast, and staring blankly at your phone wondering where the last hour went. (Guilty.)
Then there’s the 'finding the right' thing or person: It’s a myth, okay? You don't find the *one* thing. You *build* a life, piecing it together with moments, decisions, and, let's be honest, a whole lot of winging it. Relationship? I went on this date once... Ugh, a guy brought a whole container of his own salad dressing? Red flag? More like a goddamn crimson tsunami. I ghosted because I felt like a weirdo. Don't be like me, talk it out... I think.
And lastly (for now, this is a long answer, i know): There's no real right or wrong way to do things. Embrace the chaos! Make mistakes! Learn from them, laugh at them, and then... make some more! The journey's the important party, not the destination.
Is it ever okay to eat a whole pizza by yourself? (Asking for a friend... but it's totally me.)
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! Of course, it is! Look, some days are pizza days. *Embrace* the pizza day! There is a magic about eating pizza on your own, watching TV (or not; sometimes, the quiet is better), and just... being. That’s what I call self-care.
And look, the "moral" aspect is not to be considered. A half-eaten pizza? That’s just wrong. And honestly? The guilt afterwards? That’s part of the fun. Just maybe don't make it a *daily* thing, unless you are really, really, really good at push-ups (I am not).
What's the best way to deal with a bad day? (Besides pizza, obviously.)
Okay, okay, aside from the obvious pizza recommendation (I'm still pushing it), here's my, uh, *expert* advice. Look, I have a PhD in bad days, I've been through a lot. When it all goes sideways, and you feel like the universe is actively trying to personally humiliate you, here's the deal.
First, acknowledge the suckiness. Don't deny it. Let yourself wallow a little. Acknowledge the feels. It is what it is. That's it.
Next, this is the critical point: Active distraction Watch that terrible reality TV show you secretly love. Listen to music that makes you feel *everything*. Or, what works for me, which is almost always: get the heck *outside*! Take a walk. Go somewhere loud and crowded (or somewhere quiet and solitary – whichever works best for escaping your brain's awful noise). Exposure to the real world is magic.
Finally, the super-secret weapon. Tell someone. A friend, a family member, a therapist, even a random cat on the street. Just... vent. Get it out. Even if it makes you feel pathetic. Or if you're like me, don't talk, write; the relief is amazing.
And if *none* of that works? Well, then go back to the pizza. It'll do.
How do I deal with feeling like I'm not good enough?
Ugh. The 'not good enough' monster. He's a persistent little jerk, isn't he? And honestly? I still wrestle with him. He's a real pain in the butt. Here's my best shot at taming him, though it's a constant battle...
First: Challenge the voice. Is that little voice *really* telling the truth, or is it just your inner critic being a total drama queen? Nine times out of ten, it's the latter. Ask yourself: "Is this actually fact, or just feeling?" The answer is almost always "feeling."
Next: Focus on your wins. What are you *good* at? What have you accomplished? It can be something small: Made the bed? Nailed that presentation? Survived another Monday? Celebrate those little victories! Write 'em down, put a happy face next to 'em. Be proud of yourself!
And finally: Stop comparing yourself to others. Seriously, it’s a trap! Everyone's highlight reel is the only thing they're showing you. Comparison is the thief of joy. Remember that. Remember, I'm writing this in my pajamas because I'm home alone and sad. That's it.
What's one thing you absolutely hate?
Okay, here's where I get real. And I hate... *passive-aggression*. I can't stand it! The unspoken resentments, the little digs masked as "concern," the people who leave you guessing. Ugh. It's the lowest form of communication. Just spit it out! Tell me what's bothering you! Don't leave me to decipher your cryptic hints!
It's like, you know that one person who always says, "Oh, you look tired?" instead of "Are you okay?". Yeah, run. Run far and fast. Find someone who actually *says* what they mean. It'll save you a lifetime of headache.
What's something you're terrible at?
Oh, where do I begin! I'm a walking, talking, *breathing* disaster zone of incompetence. But, if I had to pick (and you're making me, aren't you?)... It's definitely, definitely remembering to eat breakfast. Or to eat *anything* regularly. It's the bane of my existence! My mother is always screaming, "Eat something, you get the energy!" I barely have energy to breathe, let alone eat something... Seriously, my blood sugarInfinity Inns
