Vernal Rental, 19 Mi to Dinosaur National Monument

Reviews

• Great location to explore the area

  5/5

  The property was perfect for our family of five (two adults, three teens) to explore the area. The home was convenient to restaurants, grocery stores, and area attractions. The basement temperature was comfortable throughout our stay, despite no a/c and hot days. Great views too! It was very convenient to have the washer and dryer just upstairs in the garage to get our laundry done too. Host was very responsive to questions. Highly recommend!

• DO NOT BOOK THIS PROPERTY! DO NOT BOOK THROUGH EVOLVE!

  1/5

  I've never left a 1-star review before. But this truly was one of the worst rental properties we’ve ever seen.

  1) The home was extremely dirty. The floors looked (and felt!) like they hadn’t been mopped or vacuumed in weeks, there was crusted food on the dishes, and hair in the shower.

  2) Sheets weren’t clean. There was hair and debris all over the sheets and even a hole in the king bedroom.

  3) The front breezeway door is broken and doesn’t close entirely.

  4) There were a few dead bugs in the bedrooms we had to dispose of. There were also ants in the back bedroom and in the dining room. I don’t want to deal with ants on vacation!

  5) We picked up pieces of garbage in many of the rooms.

  6) The driveway was in terrible shape. I didn’t feel comfortable driving our car down the driveway at all.

  7) The oven was broken. Why advertise a full kitchen if the oven isn’t even functioning? What a waste of all the food we purchased.

  I didn’t feel comfortable in the dirt and grim, and I definitely didn’t feel comfortable having my toddlers crawl around on the floors.

  I reached out to Evolve to remedy the experience and they did not listen. So much for their "Rest Easy Promise." DO NOT BOOK THROUGH EVOLVE AND DO NOT BOOK THIS PROPERTY. Book the Motel 6 down the road and you'll be in much better shape.

• Noisy, dirty and lacking

  1/5

  Upstairs rental unit was noisy, resulting in consecutive poor nights of sleep. Pothole covered driveway meant you risked bottoming out your car. No extra blankets for when it got cold.

  Dirty bathrooms and utensils and dishes with dried food crusted on.

  Save your money and find someplace else.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Emilia, we're sorry to hear your stay fell short of expectations. After reading your feedback, the homeowner wanted to share the following:
  - We sincerely apologize for the issue with noise. The guest upstairs' son was practicing the piano. We did reach out to them and they agreed to be quieter. We'll consider removing the piano so there are no issues in the future.
  - Regarding the driveway, we have contacted the HOA to have it repaired. However, due to a shortage of resources, they have not been able to do so. We provide a warning about the road in the pre-stay information guests receive.
  - While we do provide bedding for up to five guests, we'll be sure to add additional blankets to the closet for our guests' convenience.
  - Our cleaning partner takes pride in the cleanliness of the bathrooms, and although the dishes were washed by the previous guest, we'll ensure they meet our high standards of cleanliness every time.
  Thank you for bringing these issues to our attention. Your feedback is valuable in helping us improve our services.
