Get Away To Evergreen!

Evergreen, Colorado is nestled in the foothills west of Denver. Seemingly a world apart but just minutes away, Evergreen is an easy commute off Interstate-70, only 35 minutes from downtown Denver, 50 minutes from the Denver Tech Center, and 70 minutes from Denver International Airport.

At an elevation of 7,200 feet, surrounded by blue spruce and pine forests, our climate offers relief from the hot summers, with temperatures ranging from the high 70's to the low 80's; and winters are surprisingly mild.

Well established as one of Colorado's hidden treasures and a popular day escape, the Evergreen community offers an array of parks, art galleries, theatre, restaurants, entertainment, and more! Evergreen Lake, our crown jewel is fed by tributaries from Mt. Evans and is known for its all-season recreational activities such as boating, fishing, birding, ice-skating, weddings and concerts, and is bordered by mountain parks with miles of trails for hiking, biking, snowshoeing, and horseback riding. So come get away and stay at the Bears Inn B&B!

From the Innkeeper

Take in all this summer season has to offer while relaxing in the antiquewrought iron furniture on our new canopy covered deck.Crisp mornings in the warming sun and a cup of hot coffee or tea can be enjoyed listening to the awakening chirping of birds.
I even picked up a dinner triangle to ring in our gourmet breakfasts, that can be enjoyed at their fullest in the fresh mountain air as the breathtaking views of Mount Evans leave one speechless.Surrounded by blooming flowers, good company and sought after breakfasts, this retreat is one that will leave you in a peaceful state of mind and ready to take on all the wonders Colorado has to offer.
