I hate leaving bad reviews but I was so disappointed with this stay and others should be warned before booking. The photos make the cabin look very bright and airy but in reality, it wasn’t in great shape and was infested with mice. The wrap around deck was covered in debris and the paint was chipping.
Our check in time was 4 pm, but when we got to the property around 5pm, the person was still cleaning inside. We sat outside on the dock waiting to get in until around 530. A minor inconvenience as the house should be ready before check in time, but adds to the bad experience.
When we got in the house, it definitely was not as pictured. It had a funny smell and was more beat up than the photos reflect. The worst part about this trip was that when we woke up after the first night, mice got into the groceries we just purchased and left feces all over the counter top and pot holders. They also got into our dog’s food and left feces in her food bowl. There are no cabinet doors so I’m sure the mice were also running all over the utensils. I reached out to the host who offered to bring traps and poison. I didn’t really want to clean up any dead mice in traps on my vacation or expose my dog to poison. Additionally, we had no hot water in the shower. We tried to make the best of it but ended up leaving early. I could hear mice in the walls on the second day. I have been in touch with the Evolve team and sent photos of the mouse feces and we are trying to come to a resolution.

I’d love to buy this property, it is that special. I cannot thank the owners enough for creating such a wonderful spot for us to spend our honeymoon. The kayaks, the grill, the hammock and the fire pit all made for the most peaceful stay. Many many many thanks and contact me if you are interested in selling!!!

Enjoyed another year at this private cottage. Owner was attentive and went above and beyond.

My family enjoyed staying in this cottage for three days. It has everything you may want, from pots and pans to grill and firepit to kayaks, canoe and paddle boat. Location is great. You may hear noise from a camp somewhere across the pond but don't see them as they are not on the pond. Feel birdfeeders and you will enjoy watching birds including hummingbirds.

Beautiful lake view! Enjoyed quiet time on the lovely enclosed porch. We enjoyed using the kayaks and the offering of mountain bikes. This cottage provided a tranquil, beautiful setting!
