Evergreen Lodge

The Evergreen Lodge is a great choice for families on a budget, as it offers an outdoor, year-round pool with great views, a game room featuring air hockey and video arcade games, and nice perks such as free parking and Wi-Fi.The lobby is a large, open space, with a peaked, wood beam ceiling and just a few clusters of overstuffed chairs and couches. It is decorated in classic lodge style, with wood accents and a large stone fireplace.Although the guest rooms had their bedding updated from paisley bedspreads to plain white comforters, the plaid curtains, patterned furniture, and worn carpets need updating.

A perfect location for those who want to experience all of Vail, The Evergreen Lodge is located within walking distance of Vail Village and Lionshead Village. Both Villages have their own ski lifts, and because the Evergreen is just outside of the busiest parts of Vail, it is quiet and peaceful.- 135-minute drive to Denver International Airport

The Evergreen Lodge offers a mix of standard guest rooms and privately owned condos. The in-room amenities add up to a great value, although the decor is a bit dated.Standard in-room amenities include mini-fridges, coffeemakers, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. The bathrooms offer shower/tub combos and dual sinks, but have a no-frills look that could use updating.The condos are individually owned and decorated, but all have living areas and full kitchens stocked with utensils.
