  Family gathering for 4th of July. Great location! Loved the private setting and ambiance of this property. The deck with outside table and lights was great to enjoy the evening.

  I liked the layout of the house, it has lots of little separate spaces if people want quiet. It was very hot outside when we arrived, so took some work to get things cooled down with the fans and windows, but, it wasn't a problem. The deck was pretty and it was fun to see the deer. It was a perfect place for our family.

  Let’s start with the good things. It is a very central location and meets the basic needs of a rental. The check in and check out was great. The house was clean.Areas for improvement: when we got there not all the lights were functioning and as we tried to turn others on a breaker tripped, and the outlet sparked in my wife’s hand. I had to go outside in the dark and hunt around for the breaker box and fix the two tripped breakers. Fortunately, that did not happen again for the rest of our stay. That is an example of an overall electrical system that is in need of a serious update. There are numerous overhead lights in the house that are nothing more than a swag plugged into an outlet on the wall. In the kitchen, there is a light fixture with a wire hanging loose and not connected to a bulb. We did not test it, but it’s hard to imagine how this is not alive wire with the configuration of the lighting. The pictures of the house were taken some time ago and when the house was in better condition. The picnic table and cabinets in the kitchen show substantially more wear than in the photos. Finally, the house must be very well insulated. It was not very cold outside yet the heater ran so often just to keep the house 68. I’m sure that if you had actual cold weather, it would probably run all the time. This is a problem because the unit is actually quite loud, especially in the area of the downstairs bedroom. Anyway, it’s not a terrible place, but not a very good value

  Manager's Response:

  Hi there, we appreciate your detailed feedback, and we're glad you found the home’s location convenient, the check-in process smooth, and the space clean upon arrival. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your review, and they wanted to share the following:
  – We'll look into the lighting concerns to ensure everything is working. All light fixtures were approved by a licensed electrician and are designed to complement the cabin’s unique aesthetic.
  – We’re reviewing the photos to determine if a new photoshoot is needed. The deck is cleared for winter, but the picnic table and metal chairs remain available. Chair pads are in the mudroom, and washable tablecloths are in the kitchen for guest use. The kitchen cabinets were redone less than three years ago, though they’ve experienced some wear from guest use—we’ve noted this for future updates. The home offers multiple heating options, including a fireplace, central heat, space heaters, and electric blankets. In our experience, none of these produce more than a soft hum.
  – Evolve sets competitive rates based on a thorough market analysis to ensure fair value.
  Thank you for sharing your experience. Your input helps us continue improving for future guests.
