Peaceful Sedona Retreat w/ Patio & Mtn Views!

Reviews

• Great Retreat

  5/5

  This cozy cabin has been updated so that you're comfortable, yet feel like you're away from it all. Rustic, yet modernized and has just what you need to take a break and unplug. Loved that you could walk to Oak Creek nearby and several great hiking trails. Enjoyed the setting and beautiful patio. I'll be back.

  We weren't able to stay at the property due to a family emergency. We contacted Evolve to let them know understanding the refund policy and that we weren't eligible for any refunds. Despite not being eligible for a refund, they are still attempting to help us out with an alternate solution. We hope to visit the property in the future!

  Perfect location out of town, but convenient to travel back in. Excellent accommodation for a couple.

  Several issues with the place.

  It smells strongly of smoke. The owner said the fireplace was just serviced but smoke still comes into the room when using the fireplace. This is a problem because it's the main heat source. Also you have to go to Sedona to buy the wood because it is not included.

  The roof leaked enough that we had to put a bucket out. AND it leaked onto an electric heater. Potentially very dangerous.

  LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST. There was a warning in the "about this home" book provided by the owner not to leave any food out because there have been problems with wildlife. We were very careful but on the last night we were there we were upstairs in bed and heard some clattering downstairs. My husband went down and saw a RAT on the counter yes A RAT. We were packed and out the door in 15 minutes. YUCK. It was literally a nightmare.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Shari, thanks for leaving your review. The homeowner would like to share the following:
  
  I am very sorry to hear about your experience at our cabin.  It definitely is a historic property in a remote location, which occasionally comes with its challenges.  We have never had or heard of any issue with smoke coming in the room when using the fireplace, and as long as the flue had not been closed, that should not have happened. The fireplace is the main heat source, along with the three provided space heaters for the downstairs area, and the baseboard heater is the primary heating source in the bedroom upstairs.  Guests at our cabin are provided with one large bundle of wood per stay, and we would love to have unlimited firewood for everyone but, unfortunately, do not have the resources for that.  
  
  Thank you for alerting us to the roof situation, as it enabled us to get a professional out quickly to assess it and help us to find solutions.  Also, we contacted our pest control company immediately, thanks to your feedback.
   
  We love our cabin in the woods.  From taking in the spectacular views to cozying up by the fire, we find it to be a relaxing getaway.  It sounds like that was not your experience, and for that, we apologize.  We sincerely hope that you were able to cherish some of the positives that our property has to offer. Thank you for your stay.

• Perfect little cottage/cabin.

  5/5

  Great location and a great way to spend our anniversary. Only complaint I have is it’s a little eerie to sit downstairs by the fire in the evening and not have any window coverings downstairs. Makes you feel like you’re being watched.
