RETREAT TO THE ‘TOP OF THE WORLD’

That’s why it’s called Eagle’s Nest.
It’s up where eagles soar…
where elk roam freely…
where even mountain goats explore
the craggy rock outcroppings.

Location – Eagle’s Nest seems worlds away – yet, perched on a rock ridge on top of Conifer Mountain, it’s just 30 minutes from Denver where a million lights do their entertainment dance every night. In fact, from its wrap-around decks you see Pike’s Peak and Long’s Peak – 135 miles apart. The East-West view stretches 100 miles from the Eastern plains to the Continental Divide. Run the math. That’s 13,000 square miles of breathtaking beauty.

Retreat Center Extraordinaire – Eagle’s Nest started out, and still is, a professional recording studio. But since it was designed to accommodate sizeable recording teams, it has become also a Retreat destination – for Pastoral staffs, church boards, Sunday School classes, Creative Memories Scrapbook gatherings and other interest-groups, family reunions, wedding parties and even honeymoons.

Accommodations and Amenities – Instead of an impersonal hotel-type layout, its design is more that of a Swiss chalet, divided into three suites of varying sizes but flowing gracefully one into the next with a game room at the center. ‘Game’ room takes on a double meaning as elk and deer mounts look down on bumper pool and professional billiards tables.

The game room, in turn, overlooks the South deck, a sizeable enclosed hot tub room and the main living room below which flows into the formal dining room and one of the two full-size kitchens. A central bath with Jacuzzi is one of five bathrooms serving the bedrooms. The lodge will accommodate 16 people in queens, kings and two bunk sets. In addition, four full-sized auto-inflatable 18” high aerobeds provide more sleeping space when needed. Three large, moss-rock fireplaces accentuate the grandeur surrounding “the Nest.”

Entertainment – With rec room, TVs in almost every room, plus a well-stocked game closet, there are plenty of ways to keep you entertained. But if you hanker for more of that fresh, mountain air, there’s great hiking and rock-climbing right in our own ‘backyard.’ End your day with barbequing on the decks, or shooting hoops out on the driveway. You might even bring some ‘beater’ balls and a driver for the one-hole golf course. 450 yard drives are routine off the cliff.

Eating out for variety? Ten minutes away is the mountain village of Conifer with convenient dining in a half dozen locations. Or travel 10 miles farther north to the quaint town of world-famous Evergreen. Here you’ll find a wealth of restaurants from the modest to fine dining. Try “Keys on the Green” at the golf course overlooking Evergreen Lake. (Be sure to ask for an outside table. Don’t be surprised to find a herd of elk grazing not 10 yards from your table.)

Evergreen Lake is host to summertime activities such as evening concerts, sailing, canoeing, water wheeling, fishing and hiking as well as winter fun with its nature-made outdoor skating rink. If you enjoy antiques and classy shops, Evergreen is the place. From there, you’re just 30 to 40 minutes to phenomenal skiing, biking, trail riding and more golf.
