Beautiful place with a moviesque gardenscape. The rooms are super romantic and well furnished. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a quiet getaway for hikes and small town vibes. This is a gem - the cherry on top is the service. Thank you Danielle for being an amazing host.

We stayed at the Highland Haven with our out of town family and friends the week of our Evergreen Lake House wedding, and our experience there was just as exciting as the wedding itself. It also provided the perfect backdrop for our pre-ceremony photos. We loved seeing our guests enjoying the property- sitting by the creek, reading in the Dailey Cabin, or walking into downtown Evergreen. It was all so charming and I was very sad to leave and return to reality! We are planning to come back for future anniversaries

We celebrated our daughter’s wedding in Evergreen and rented almost all the cottages and rooms at Highland Haven Lodge—it was the perfect place to gather! There was something for everyone, and the property is beautiful and welcoming. Our suite was spacious enough for the bridal party to get ready, and the Sunday breakfast in the main lodge was delicious and beautifully done. We also loved gathering for happy hour—everyone raved about the atmosphere. So glad we chose Highland Haven. Highly recommend it for weddings or family events!

I live in the area and chose to stay in the Treehouse suite for the three days over my elopement. My husband and I travel often across the state and have stayed in many nice places, but nothing compares to the Highland Haven. The location is extremely convenient to downtown but despite this, the trees block the views and sounds from town, creating an oasis. Being vegan we often have to forgo included breakfasts, however, the team at Highland Haven went above and beyond serving us a wide variety of homemade vegan items including avocado toast, coconut yogurt with fresh fruit, vegan blueberry pancakes, and roasted potatoes. On our last day we needed to leave at 4am to catch a flight, and knowing this, the staff prepared us fresh fruit and vegan oatmeal which they had ready for us the night before. The decor and inclusions at the Treehouse were extremely well thought out and the view of the evergreen trees from the patio was wonderful. This was both of our favorites stays, ever. We now plan to return annually. Thank you Highland Haven!

Not only do they have beautiful accommodations in a magical setting, but the people who work here are truly angels. We had a family in Evergreen who suffered an unimaginable tragedy and the staff at HHCI enveloped them with so much love and generosity, in every way. I highly recommend this place for every reason, most of all supporting a business full of humans who make the world a better place.

Calling it “exceptional” is an understatement. We stayed at their place for our 10th anniversary, and they helped make it unforgettable. From delivering excellent-quality breakfast to our cabin door, to the drinks and many small details that made this experience unforgettable. They are excellent, professional, and caring. The property itself is filled with beautiful details at every turn: hand-painted wall murals, crafted woodwork, freshly baked cookies, a welcome gift for our dog, hand carved animals and totem scattered throughout the property, and a serene creekside walkway, the jacuzzi inside the cabin... The list goes on and on. There are even steps leading down to a hidden corner by the creek, complete with a tiny table and two chairs, which is a perfect and intimate spot. You can truly feel the heart they put into every single detail. This is one of those places you can’t wait to come back.

I hosted my micro wedding at the Highland Haven this past September 2025 which included the rehearsal, ceremony and lodging for my entire family. I worked exclusively with Grace throughout the planning process and she exceeded our expectations. She was flexible, accommodating, kind and generous with her time. She was always available to answer any questions we had and made sure we all felt comfortable. Our stay at the Highland Haven was perfect: the rooms were comfortable, the breakfast was delicious, and the location was perfect! All of my family complimented our choice for a venue and mentioned many times how incredible the staff was. We cannot thank Highland Haven enough for creating a beautiful event for us - we are beyond grateful and plan to stay there every year for our anniversary! If you’re looking for a location to host an event or simply are just passing through Evergreen, be sure to stay here. You will not be disappointed by its charm, warmth and location. And be sure to ask for Grace when planning your events!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Highland Haven. We have been coming here for many years. The whole place is like living in a magical, woodland fairy tale. The staff are always so welcoming and friendly, and I love that for the past several years, it is always the same faces. The in-room breakfast delivery is excellent, and the complimentary happy hour is a nice bonus. They keep finding ways to make their little cozy retreat feel so special. The tree house is our preferred option, but we have stayed in the hillside cottages and the cliffside, and you really cannot go wrong. Several of the accommodations are also dog-friendly. They are located within walking distance of downtown. Highly recommend!
