• Fall fishing trip

  5/5

  The property was exactly as advertised and perfect for relaxing evenings after long days salmon fishing. Beds were all very comfortable and the house was very clean and well appointed.

• A perfect stay!

  5/5

  We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home. All of the accommodations from the appliances, furniture, bedding to the supplies available were amazing quality and well stocked. We had absolutely everything we could have needed, and more. The beds were comfortable, outdoor space with great seating and firepits/wood, comfy indoor furniture, well equipped kitchen, and the most amazing bathroom we've seen in a vacation property. You can tell the owners put a lot of design thought into this home, and we feel lucky to have stayed at such a great place. The drive back to the home off the main road made us wonder if we were headed in the right direction, but the directions provided were perfect, and led us right there. We enjoyed sunny afternoons on the beach, and a fire in the evening on the deck and board games inside at the table. Such a relaxing time, and wonderful memories made. Thank you for having us at your lovely retreat!

  5/5

  Visited this property with my girlfriends. The inside was spacious & beautiful. Equipped with top notch appliances in an amazing kitchen. Everything provided. We spent the entire day on the deck and at the beach. An easy walk for those with mobility issues. The beds were comfy, even the bunk beds . Clean and newly renovated. Would love to see the before pictures.

  We are already planning our next visit.

• Hygge 100%

  5/5

  Gorgeous camp - well built; noticeable craftsmanship. When it comes to vacation rentals I am partial to classic log home builds, but this modern design caught my eye, and it turned out to be even better in person. Floor to ceiling, it's beautifully constructed, immediately warm & inviting, easy to live in. High end fixtures, appliances, cupboards, counters, and furniture. Everything is comfortable.

  Whoever finished the kitchen and bathrooms had a great sense for balancing form and function - those spaces really elevated the experience, almost to the point where you mutter the word 'luxury'. Much of the lighting is on dimmer switches (huge benefit) although it's a mixture of cold and warm spectrum light. The wood paneled ceiling in the primary living space is the character of the home and really expresses itself under warm light.

  We stayed in February, but I can imagine burning dual campfires on the deck and the beach is a memorable experience during the summer months. We utilized the indoor fireplace all throughout the snowy weekend, and it was wonderful. The lack of any fireplace tools was puzzling (it's a very worthy fireplace), and we were smart to bring our own firewood - the pile near the boathouse was mostly dimensional lumber better suited for outdoor firepits.

  TV and wi-fi connections were totally reliable, and everything in the house worked flawlessly.

  Do not dismiss the written directions in your booking info, and save your check-in information offline - your GPS really will lead you down a couple of dead end private roads, and you might lose cellular reception in the woods where you are lost (reception is fine at the property). It's a secluded property in many respects, nestled between dense trees and the beach, but it also has neighboring properties in relatively close proximity. My wife and I don't make much noise, but we were still grateful that the adjacent property was unoccupied during our February visit. I think the waterfront access probably outweighs those proximity concerns in summer months - but it's something to consider if you really value privacy and wanna be isolated.

  We had great communication with the host contact. This is my second time booking a vacation rental through Evolve and I like their approach and their price.
