This older farmhouse has been updated with all the amenities. It was immaculate and very nicely decorated.
We rented 3 places near us in the mountains, two did not have air conditioning which is not uncommon here where it’s not often needed. However, it was unusually hot the first weekend in July and all the other people roasted, not so in this delightful house.
The only negative was that there wasn’t a single sheet of toilet paper or paper towels when they checked in. I don’t know if that was a failure of cleaning or owners or Evolve policy but it would normally be a problem. In our case, it was okay since I was right down the road and quickly remedied the issue.
The property is cozy. Plus side: surrounded by lots of mountains and life, well stocked for kitchen and there are games and movies. Negativity, there is no covering on any of the windows. No curtains or blinds. The internet connection is horrible and very lagging. There is also a beeping sound that occurs every 2-3 minutes. No Verizon cell service is available
