Evergreen Valley Inn & Villas

I would like to give this place a better rating because the staff is so sweet, but it’s so bad that 2 is generous. We were given a choice of a Murphy bed or a queen bed on an upstairs loft with a spiral staircase. The Murphy wouldn’t work for us, plus, when pulled down it blocks the kitchenette. We are in our 60’s, and the spiral staircase was treacherous, especially for our frequent nighttime bathroom visits. The staircase is dangerous-the steps are not even large enough for adult feet. Kitchenette is adequate w/microwave & toaster, small range, dorm sized refrigerator & sink. Usual amenities are not available-no paper towels, no laundry facilities, no vending, only bag ice available. No air conditioning, so summer will be hot. There are many stairs in every part of the building with no elevator. Condition of building is poor, with loose boards at one entrance. Some renovations are under way, but much more needs to be done. The spiral staircases could be replaced with actual stairs for safety purposes. There is adequate space for that. Location is very remote with poor road conditions. Most attractions we saw were in New Hampshire, about 1-2 hours away. Limited Groceries are available at country store about 9 miles away. Restaurants are difficult to find because of remote location. Ebenezer’s Pub was the only close one we found open & it was very good. Probably most concerning is the lack of cell service & no phones in the room. We put our phones on WiFi calling, but WiFi comes & goes. This might be of concern to someone with health issues or needing to stay in touch with family. We appreciate that some people enjoy the remoteness & quaintness, however as we age, some amenities are more important than when we were younger. We managed to enjoy our stay by doing day trips. You will need to take these issues into consideration before booking.

Just spent a week surrounded by lakes, mountains, and trees. Evergreen is unpretentious and quaint. The staff was wonderful. They offer several different room styles to choose from. We hope to be back to visit again.

The Evergreen Valley Inn was perfect for a long weekend romp in the snow. The unit was clean and well maintained, though a little dated. The staff was hard working and very attentive. The loft bedroom may not be easy for an older couple but comfortable.

I really loved the uniqueness of this spot. The staff was delightful and eager to please. I had everything I needed and was very comfortable. As others have said, this is a divine spot for being out in the midst of Maine wilderness so if you are looking for fancy or upscale, this is not for you but it’s a delight for those who love nature and being able to cross country ski and hike without driving. I will definitely return. What’s great is that you’re half hour to ski resorts and amenities. The peace and quiet was just what I needed. I’m over 60 and if you’re feeble, this might be a challenge with the spiral staircases. I’m not feeble so found them charming. Next time I will ask for a room not so close to checkin area as that could be noisy at times.

We stayed at Evergreen for four nights while we visited ski resorts in New Hampshire. Naomi was an excellent hostess and she was always available whenever we had a need or question. The lobby always had a warm fire going and smelled like Christmas. My daughter slept on the Murphy bed and said it was very comfortable. We also had two sleeper sofas so we put both mattresses on one sofa bed which my son said made for a great sleep. The game room is a teenager’s paradise with ping pong, Foosball, a pool table, games, puzzles and more. The unit has free WiFi, a small refrigerator, coffee pot and stovetop with supplies for cooking. Grocery and dining are about 30 minutes away so grab your supplies on the way. A wonderful getaway. Thank you!
