  3/5

  Cabin was ok...you really have to stop at every intersection to check the road signs, they can be hard to see..and our sign was slightly turned and we missed it. But the main thing we had a problem with was the inside steps which had no hand rails from living room to kitchen, we had 3 people in our group and 2 of us fell on the steps. But just some bruised knees. if you are a senior be careful. First night the tv lost all signals and never came back on during our stay..the second night we lost all power but that was due to a bad storm. It was a good getaway but could have been better.

  Hi Wayne, we want our guests to rest easy when they stay with us, and we apologize for any issues you encountered during your trip. After reviewing your feedback, we reached out to the homeowner, and they would like to share the following:
  -This cabin is situated atop a mountain with access via gravel and dirt roads, each marked with signage as described in our listing. Following the directions to remain on Brushy Top Road and turn left onto Lory Lane should ensure a smooth arrival, as outlined in our directions.
  -From the beginning of our rental history, it has been noted that this property may not be suitable for elderly or handicapped guests, with photographs illustrating the presence of steps. We are in the process of updating our listing to accurately reflect this information.
  -Regarding the TV, we checked it after your departure and found it needed adjustment back to the correct channel via remote control, after which it functioned properly.
  Thanks for taking the time to leave your review! We truly go above and beyond for our guests and are confident that future guests will have excellent stays!

• Just not worth it.

  1/5

  Found at least 10 scorpions in the house, cobwebs, dust, and bugs everywhere. The driveway/road is terrible even in a Jeep. Even worse at night as the Lory Lane st sign is hard to see & you cannot see heron ct sign at all. We got very lost the first night and had no service to help with navigation. The ac works great downstairs but it’s a good 10-15 degrees hotter up stairs. Getting from the house to the main road took about 15-20 minutes.

  Hi Larissa, the right vacation home is everything, and we're disappointed if this wasn't the one for you. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  - The home is regularly exterminated, but due to its rural location, occasional pests are normal. After you reported the issue, Evolve followed up to provide a fair resolution. However, without any documentation, a refund or further action wasn't deemed appropriate.
  - Our cleaners consistently do a great job preparing the cabin for guests, ensuring there isn’t any dust or cobwebs.
  - The listing recommends a vehicle with high ground clearance, such as a truck or SUV, due to the mountain roads. There's also a map on the listing showing the approximate location of the cabin so guests can decide if the location and necessary routes meet their preferences.
  - Detailed driving directions are provided in the pre-stay information to assist with navigation in case of losing service.
  - The A/C works well downstairs, but it does get warmer in the upstairs bedroom at mid-day. A portable A/C unit will be made accessible in the next few weeks to address this.
  We do all we can to provide an excellent guest experience and we look forward to hosting many satisfied guests.

• Perfect for a short getaway

  5/5

  It was really cozy! Had an amazing balcony view accessible from the bedroom that is on the third floor. Probably the most beautiful sunsets (plural) I have ever seen. Comfortable bed and the space felt clean. The interior layout was super open and you can communicate standing at opposite ends of the house. The fireplace was the perfect follow up after spending time in the hot tub.

  ***I do feel obligated to also share a scorpion was on the kitchen floor (2nd floor). It was brown and blended into the floor very well, I have no idea how my girlfriend even managed to see it. When I went to get rid of it, it started to try and hide in the cracks of the floorboards. We walked around barefoot almost the entire time being in the cabin. So please do not be ignorant like us. Wear feet protection at all times.

  Other than the scorpion making us paranoid it truly was a wonderful stay. The drive up the mountain is actually very rocky and bumpy so make sure your vehicle is equipped to handle the drive. The communication was superb as well.

  My girlfriend and I stayed here for a weekend getaway and the cabin surpassed our expectations. It was located on top of a mountain with spectacular views. Far away from all the noise and and very peaceful. The cabin inside was nicely equipped and the layout was very cozy. A big plus was a very comfortable bed and a nice wood fireplace. The hot tub was a nice bonus as well. We would definitely stay here again and suggest anyone that wants a quiet cabin getaway to give this place a try. One thing to know is the road access is a long dirty road and there are some rocks and washouts so a high clearance vehicle is highly suggested.

  The ride up is bumpy and I would definitely recommend 4 wheel drive for snow. Going in November was amazing, literally at the top of the world at this place, and the hot tub is a huge plus!
