Arrowhead Lake Retreat w/ Dock + Pool Access!

Reviews

• 3/5

  Clean House, Pretty Dock… But the Rest Was a Comedy of ErrorsThe house itself was very clean and beautiful, and the dock was amazing — peaceful, scenic, everything you’d hope for. Unfortunately, the experience with Evolve and the property manager was far less relaxing.First, we were nearly overcharged a 30 “extra” transaction fee until I pointed out it should’ve been 20. Then came the check-in scavenger hunt — the instructions sent us to an offsite location that didn’t exist. After calling, I learned there was a different email with updated instructions.When we finally got in, the house was a brisk 53 degrees. The fireplaces (inside, sunroom, and outdoor fire pit) didn’t work, and despite two emails and a voicemail, we didn't get an answer until the 3rd day. When the manager finally called back, she sounded annoyed and couldn’t offer solutions — apparently, the fire pit was unplugged because a previous guest left it on.Other oddities: no welcome kit (despite being mentioned), confusing instructions (like a sign telling us to “turn off the breakers before leaving” — wait, what?), and no on-site guide for how things actually worked.All in all, the property itself was nice — clean, peaceful, and well-situated — but the management experience made it feel like we were on an escape room challenge we didn’t sign up for.Would I rent again? Sadly, no. With better communication, clear instructions, and just a little more hospitality, this could’ve been a five-star stay.

  A wonderful weekend getaway. We loved the house , lake and the great outdoors there. Didn’t appreciate finding bath towels and other towels and rags inside cloth dryer though. There were no instructions given on operating the two fire places and a couple of the ceiling fans were inoperable. Other than that we had a very nice stay.

  Manager's Response:

  "We’re so glad this guest enjoyed the home, the lake, and the peaceful outdoor setting. After sharing the rest of the feedback with the homeowner, they would like to note the following:
  - Towels and linens are meant to be fully prepared before check-in, and I’ve reminded my cleaners to double-check the dryer moving forward.
  - Written instructions for the fireplaces are being added so future guests can use them with ease.
  - The ceiling fans mentioned are being reviewed and serviced as needed.
  I do all I can to provide the best possible stay, and I look forward to welcoming future guests for more relaxing getaways."

  We had a great stay - we only wish we could have stayed longer! The house is beautiful and well maintained, and the location on the water was ideal. As with any vacation rental, we had to make a quick run for some basic items, but the kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils. Would definitely stay again!

  This house exceeded expectations! It is very pretty, extremely clean, very well equipped, with lots of room for everyone. There were 6 of us and we never felt crowded. The kitchen had every appliance, cookware and utensil we could possibly need, and the grill is amazing, unlike many other rentals we've had. The location and the view are perfect. We will definitely come back!

  It was a beautiful house, amazing location, excellent amenities, easy check in and check out process! There were a few things that could have been better, like... not having to put sheets and pillowcases on our selves, the lawn needs to be cut (we had to play cornhole in the driveway because grass was overgrown), and better communication with the property manager from their webite and email (I sent registration by email to the manager's email address provided, directly on the property management website, and by text. Unfortunately text was the only way i got a hold of someone) All and all it was a wonderful family vacation spot, i would book it again in a heartbeat!
