• Mildew in rental air conditioner

  1/5

  I didn't stay at this property because when I walked into the cottage the main room air conditioner smelled of mildew and I have asthma. And even with that wall unit air conditioner and a portable air conditioner unit in the bedroom window the cooling was inadequate. The space was mildewed. There also was no privacy with one floor to ceiling window in the kitchen area without a window covering next to some outside stairs.

  There were large fire pits in opposite yards next door on both sides. If I breath smoke I would be in the hospital. Air conditioners pull in outside air. This was a disaster that I wanted to avoid. The owner would not refund me so he got to keep the $1330.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Pamela, we take it seriously when guests feel uncomfortable during their stay, and we're sorry to hear that the property wasn't a good fit for you. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  -Both the main and portable A/C units were serviced and cleaned just days before your arrival to ensure they were working properly, especially during the hot and humid weather.
  -The A/C units recycle interior air rather than pulling air from outside, and the thermostat was maintaining a temperature of 72°F at the time of your visit.
  -The neighbors’ fire pits are approximately 50 feet away, and given the summer conditions, no fires were burning during your stay.
  -For added privacy, a 6-foot trifold standing screen is available and located near the kitchen window to block outside views.
  -As the cottage is located directly on the water, some moisture in the air is expected, but we’ve had no prior complaints of mildew. However, we'll take another look to ensure the environment is as comfortable as possible.
  Thank you again for your feedback. While we regret that your experience wasn’t ideal, we hope you consider Evolve for your future travels!

• CUTE LITTLE PROPERTY

  5/5

  THE HOUSE WAS KIND OF HARD TO GET TO, YOU HAVE TO WALK AROUND THE OWNERS DECK. BUT ONCE YOU DID, IT WAS A DELIGHT. THE HOUSE IS VERY CLEAN. VERY WELL MAINTAINED. VERY CLOSE TO THE WATER. WE REALLY ENJOYED OUR STAY, VERY QUIET AND SEREENE

• Wonderful views

  5/5

  Perfect property to sit back and enjoy the views. The lake is gorgeous. The home is well appointed and clean. We had a nice time watching the sun rise and disconnecting from the electronic devices.

• Property is exactly as listed

  5/5

  Cute guest house behind the main property. The place was clean and the owner was very friendly. There is a pier, but you have to access it through the fence on site. The homes are close to each other with neighbors deck right next to the guest home. Not a problem as there is a blind to cover the window looking out onto the staircase to their deck. The family was very quiet as is the neighborhood. Property is located near a large lake. It was beautiful and a wonderful place to watch the sun come up. If you happen to be there when the Canton market is occurring, it is sooooo worth a drive over to go and see the worlds larges market. Property is a nice place for two adults. Remember, you do not have access to internet. You need to know how to use your cell phone as a wifi hotspot, otherwise there is no tv. Not a problem.
