We stayed at Evergreen 7-5 thru 12, 2008 and enjoyed the peace, quiet
and natural setting there. Lots of trails to hike, including one up the hill
behind the lodges at Evergreen. It goes up to an amazing house built back
in the late 1800's;(info available at the resort, now abandoned, but
maintained by Evergreen. Wonderful views from there. Oxford County area
near Evergreen is full of old mines and places to hunt for mica, tourmaline,
amethyst, aquamarine,etc. Some require quite a hike to them, but others
are an easy trek from the road.
Our two room suite was simple but comfortable. It had an old combined
stove, sink, refrigerator assembly of probably the 50's mode, but it was
clean, it did what we needed. The staff were wonderful, friendly and quite
helpful.
The down side, as it were, was that the nearest town of any size is at
least 15 miles away. The closest store is less that ten miles, but is only
open until 7 p.m. We were not aware that there was no grocery store of
any size closer than 15 miles or we would have bought food, etc. before we
checked in to the Inn. The coin laundry at the Inn is open 24/7 so that was
good.
We would go again for sure, but come prepared with supplies before we
got there. We exchanged a Silverleaf week for the week at Evergreen.
