Fish & Swim: Home w/ Catskill Creek Views!

Reviews

• 5/5

  check-in was really easy...when we had trouble with the front door, someone was available digitally and talked to us through the front door (I think it was a ring doorbell?) Also, we have been going to this creek for generations and it was shut down because of private property owners, and we've been mourning it's loss to the public for more than a decade. When we discovered that we had 'rented our creek' it was like a miracle from the universe happened....the family was overjoyed and the adults, the adult kids and the kids all played joyfully!

• We got our creek back!

  5/5

  Amazing! It is a magical place! We've grown up at this creek and it was shut down to the public years ago. We didn't know we had rented the house on our creek until we pulled into the driveway and the screaming ensued! We got our creek back! The house was very clean and the outdoor kitchen overlooking the creek was magical....we saw eagles, herons, cranes and even hummingbirds hovered in front of our faces. We painted pictures of our beloved creek and we are going to make a framed gallery of everyone's paintings! The hosts were available within minutes if we had a question, and the house was immaculate!

• AC didn’t work in any room in hot weather, black ants in living room, no replies to queries

  3/5

  It was overall fine experience but we had a lot of trouble sleeping with AC not working entirely night in hot weather of the year. In addition there were few black ants which I came to know when it bit me. Plus I had couple of queries which I tried to call assigned evolve representative but call was never picked up then I sent email got no replies.
