This is a cute little place to stay. We came to celebrate our 30th anniversary. My wife always wanted to take the GC Railroad train and we did in luxury class. Fred is a great host and was quick to resolve any issue or questions. Unfortunately, we had to leave a day early due to my wife's 102-year-old father being hospitalized with pneumonia. I would recommend staying here.

Got off to a rocky start when the owner didn’t respond to my email and calls. I believe info has been updated, though, so shouldn’t be a problem anymore (Evolve customer service was fantastic!). Cute little place, easily walkable to downtown. Brand new interior, charmingly appointed, with the basics you need for cooking. Don’t go to Safeway (across the street) until you check out what’s already in the kitchen. Divan, chair, and bed not super comfortable. Outdoor picnic area needs weedeating. Great overall value, though, especially if you’re in town to go outside and play.
Super friendly host and check-in process. The house was perfect for me and my 3 children. It was actually quite baby proof for my 1 year old, so made for a stress free stay. We unfortunately weren’t prepared for the cold and wet weather, so had to cut our trip short. The location of the property is 5minutes or less to the train depot so it was a perfect commute to do our Williams activity for this stay. My only regret is DoorDash was only contracted with Pizza Hut. Once we got to the property the weather forced us to be home bound, so we missed out in some really nice eateries. Next time we will for sure we will have proper clothing and gear.

The host was welcoming and able to accommodate to our late arrival. The property is close to the train station, so it makes for easy travel.
I had a 1 year old in my party, and the place was pretty child proof, so it made relaxing even easier.
