LOCATION
The Fir House is a fully furnished Vacation Rental located in a quiet residential area of Evergreen, Colorado a little more than one mile (about four minutes driving time) east of the intersection of Evergreen Parkway and Lewis Ridge Road:
Use The Fir House as a home-base to see the region or as a private retreat where you can fill your day with the peace and quiet of the mountains. From here you can visit the wonderfully quaint historical towns in the area, many within an hour drive; visit the shops and galleries in Evergreen; take the walking tour around Evergreen Lake or walk, hike or bike on the paths and trails of the several Jeffco Open Space Parks that are within 15 minutes of the house. Visit Evergreen Lake and Chatfield Reservoir, or travel to Grand Lake, a 2 hour drive deeper into the mountains. Be sure to visit the art and history museums in Denver and the many attractions of the LoDo district for a taste of the local Denver beers, wines and foods.
Local Amenities: Local amenities are within 10 minutes and include grocery stores, superstores and convenience stores, and a full range of fast food to elegant dining. The local King Soopers will deliver groceries to your door for a small delivery charge, and Walmart is just up the road if you are shopping for affordable food and household items. There is also a Health Food store in the King Soopers shopping center about 10 minutes from the house. The Regional Transportation District services the residential areas of Evergreen with a call-n-Ride Shuttle Bus, which is available to take you to the local grocery store, a doctor appointment, and other locations in the Evergreen area including the bus stops that connect Evergreen to the greater Denver Metropolitan area to the east for work or play, and the ski resorts and gambling towns of Central City and Black Hawk to the west.
