the Evergreen Lodge is flat out awesome in every imaginable way. beautifully rustic, environmentally
sensitive, peaceful, quiet, secluded (but not isolated) environment, well designed, with beautiful views and a top-notch, friendly, helpful, professional staff that goes out of their way to make the stay as comfortable and enjoyable as they possibly can. hot showers, lots of pillows and blankets and even a loaner space heater for the bathroom if the more than adequate heat from the fireplace doesn't quite reach those furthest corners. and a large soothing salt water hot tub and heated outdoor pool, if you're brave. Note: our stay was end of November and the area received close to 6" of snow in one day. (Yosemite got 12" or more). it was magical. don't want to leave out the excellent food which i was able to run through the snow to the Restaurant/Tavern to order, return to the cabin, then run back 15 minutes later to pick up take back to the cabin while still hot. definitely will return to have the chance to explore and experience all that the Evergreen has to offer in the other seasons as well. highly recommended!
