• Nice property

  4/5

  Went for a weekend get away for my son’s 23rd birthday. Had a few issues the first night, which encapsulated much of my time, and was unable ti visit and relax with my family. The listed basketball game had four deflated balls, we pumped them up but they immediately deflated. The hot tub temp was set to 65degrees and took almost the entire night to warm up, so needless to say, we were unable to use that. The master shower tub would not drain after a short shower, which somehow ended up backing up all the plumbing from that room, and leaking within the floorboards, causing a major leak into the living room ceiling. The driveway and stairs leading up to the house nor the back deck were shoveled or plowed. The amount of ice that accumulated on the back deck was a lot, creating a hazard or my young children and elderly mom. Due to the multiple issues the first night, our first night was pretty much a waste. However, I communicated with our Evolve contact, Dan, through the time. I was skeptical of this property manager based off reviews I’ve read online, but Dan was truly amazing in assisting to get all this issues resolved. He was verHe sent snow removal maintenance and the he spent hours removing the snow and ice in the back deck, a lot of pounding and thumping though! The plumbing/ maintenance man came and was able to turn off the water in the master shower, stopping the leaking into the living room. Both men were very professional and kind, and empathetic to our situation.

  There was a rodent situation we spotted a mice, other than that the rental is amazing. The guest contact Daniel was very helpful

• Potter County Stargazing Trip

  5/5

  My wife bought me this trip as a stargazing present for my 65th birthday. We came for the moonless, dark sky and it did not disappoint! We stayed 4 days/nights; two of the nights were clear enough for stargazing. I was treated to a dark sky with twice as many stars as I can see from my backyard. There was no light pollution from Coudersport; the only problem was finding a spot where I could avoid the neighbor's outside light. We were impressed with the overall cleanliness of the house. The house is very roomy inside with a large living area, huge basement with game room, decent-sized kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms. There is a huge backyard and a large deck... either can be used for setting up your telescope. I tried both; I recommend using the deck, as lugging equipment to the backyard was quite a chore. Pluses: roomy, clean house in a picturesque location, very quiet neighborhood. Minuses: heavy vehicles travelling A-Frame road, a lot of steps to climb, blown light bulbs that needed replacing and a confusing array of light switches. Overall, this was a very pleasant stay in a roomy, clean house. I would come back again!
