Reviews
Cozy house for large family gathering
5/5 We enjoyed our stay. The house was well equipped, location is great, swimming area perfect for kids. The house was cleaned well , with all needed amenities available. Housekeeper was prompt to respond to our questions.
Dated house with good location
3/5 House has potential but found entire property to be dated, tired, and worn down. The dock was dangerous, numerous nails sticking out of deck board. Bummer upper deck of dock had to be closed off. There were 14 people in our group and there was only one refrigerator. We place half our food and drinks in large yeti coolers the entire time. “Queen” size beds were smaller than modern day queen beds. The hand on the over was duct taped and kept breaking. The property lacked outside seating. Overall the rental price was expensive for what you get.

Hi Tony, we take guest feedback seriously and passed your comments on to the homeowner who would like to share the following:
- We strive to provide our guests with a great guest experience, so we were disappointed to hear your feedback and want to take a moment to address your concerns.
- We have never had this complaint before, guests have called it quaint and a gem with a great location. We use professional photographers so we can be sure that our images accurately reflect our property and guests can decide before booking if the decor, home, and furnishings meet their expectations. Additionally, we only advertise one refrigerator and note on our listing, " Upper deck currently unavailable (due to renovations," but we're sorry if this caught you off guard.
- We wish you had reached out during your stay, we would have been more than happy to help you locate the additional seating that is covered under the screened porch.
- Evolve does its best to set industry-competitive prices based on the property and surrounding area and uses a dynamic pricing algorithm, which can fluctuate depending on the time of year or holiday season. We apologize if you didn't feel it was a good value.
We do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests.Excellent
3/5 We enjoyed our time on the lake and on the back porch. However, not until we arrived did we find that the upper deck on the dock was boarded up and unavailable.

Hi, we take guest feedback seriously and passed your comments on to the homeowner who would like to share the following:
We are glad you chose our home and we are sorry your stay was not what you expected. We are in the process of doing renovations and we wanted to block off because of the safety of our guests. We will be updating that information on our listing for future guests.
We do all we can to make our homes the best possible stays, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests. Thank you for your feedback.Great rental!
5/5 We had an amazing time! The house was perfect for our group. We spent a lot of time on the lake during the day. I’d recommend this property in the future!
Outdated and not clean
1/5 The house is larger than expected which was great. The house needs a deep cleaning and updating of furniture. We arrived at checkin date/time to find the house was not cleaned from previous guests, trash overflowing, no sheets or towels available as promised. Contacted the guest service person who did deliver towels which smelled like smoke and sheets that just smelled like they were sprayed with fabreeze rather than being washed. I had to clean toothpaste from the sinks, wipe hair and dust out of showers, wipe down counters that were sticky, scrub the coffee maker, clean food (spaghetti sauce) from the oven burners and front of stove and wash all the towels and sheets!!!! The dishwasher reeks of mold. The couch cushions have rips in them and are not comfortable.
The boat dock top floor is not usable because it is boarded up, there is an abandoned jet ski tied up to the dock and the pontoon boat is not usable. There is a wooden fixture that is all broken in pieces in the small fenced yard and broken chairs around the fire pit.
I did issue a complaint about the cleaning fee of $350 which should be reimbursed considering I CLEANED!!!!
