  This was a beautiful lake, and we had great views. The first pic is from the lake looking at the house. The 2nd pic is the view from the back deck.

  This place is on the lake and beautiful, excellent for a big group…they have 4 single person kayaks with life jackets so was perfect for our group! One room / Bathroom is separate - kind of out house…the other 2 Bathroom are separate and not attached to the rooms. But was ok…getting ready was fast this way! Fire pit was excellent with all furnitures etc. The rooms are fitted with window A/C…but was ok. Kitchen was perfectly loaded! Owners and care takers are nearby and are nice. Overall was an excellent stay!

  Great Location! Beautiful views...

  The house was the perfect size for 6 of us, plenty oof room.

  We ate all our dinner/breakfasts on the outdoor open porch with great water views!

  Unfortunately due to drought conditions we were not able to kayak right from abutting dock.

  We drove 3 miles away to Kil Kare State park for Kayaking which was great.

  The house lacked a few necessities such as a working coffee maker and a grill, but we improvised and managed to work through the inconveniences.

  We enjoyed our stay there…..

  Receiving information was a nightmare. The evolve team sent me information for the wrong area. My guest contact was impossible to get in contact with. The dining room chairs were damaged and wiggly on arrival and one of them completely broke while we were eating dinner and she got a fat lip. We are lucky she didn’t chip a tooth. The home was booked for 11 women and there was only 1 extra roll of TP so we had to go and purchase our own. The cheap hand soap used in the place was never replaced and just diluted with water. We payed over 3k for a lake house the least you could do is replace the soap. The linins were clean but all stained. The outlets were falling out of the wall. The rug corner was rolling and a tripping hazard. The master closet wouldn’t shut without kicking the trim piece back into the wall. And last but most importantly. We payed for a place we are not local too, to swim at the lake, and when we got there we couldn’t swim because of a blue green algae bloom in the area. We would have just changed the dates to a time we could swim! We payed to swim on a lake front property. Not look at it. Overall we are terribly disappointed with our stay. And we are hoping a human takes the time to go to the property and properly fix a few things.

  Manager's Response:

  On behalf of Evolve, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and are glad we could assist following the miscommunication. We have followed up with the owner, and they would like to share the following:
  -Thank you for your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and we appreciate the chance to clarify a few points.
  -The homeowner lives next door and is always available to help with any concerns, but unfortunately we did not receive a call during your stay. We would have been happy to bring over additional supplies such as toilet paper, hand soap, or anything else you needed.
  -The dining room chairs and rug corner have since been repaired, as well as the closet door. Hand soap provided was not diluted, though we do apologize if it felt that way. Our linens are always laundered, and while clean, we’ve now replaced items that appeared stained. The outlets you mentioned are also being checked.
  -Regarding swimming, the listing states that swimming is not available at the shoreline of the home itself, though there are public swimming areas nearby. Unfortunately, the blue-green algae bloom was an unexpected natural occurrence across the lake that impacted all waterfront homes.
