Reviews
Not great, not terrible
4/5 I will base my review on Vrbo listing not the Evolve one.TLDRWe enjoyed our stay. Beautiful region. No dishwasher (major downer). No heating in the bedrooms. I do not think we will go back. There are similar/better places in the area.I think Evolve's involvement increases the full price (too much cleaning fee). I might be wrong.DetailsBad:- There is no dishwasher. Vrbo listing says "fully equipped kitchen" but it is not.- After paying almost as much as the stay for the cleaning fee, we are required to "bring the bedding to the washer and start the cycle". Why am I paying the cleaning fee again?- No heating in the upper floor where bedrooms are located. Suggested solution by the owners: "Leave the doors open, hot air rises". However, electric heated blankets are provided.- The first floor bathroom sink drains veeeeery slowly.Good:- Clean house.- Detailed instructions.- We had a snow storm during the stay. Driveway was plowed promptly.- Did not need owner interaction during the stay and there was no unnecessary intrusion (we had such experiences in other places)- Beatiful and quiet area.
