We spent the first 2 hours cleaning after finding roaches in the place and dirt on the fridge. I messaged the owner and only heard back after our stay was done. Evolve has been slow to respond and as of yet, have not received any credit.

We had a nice long weekend at the cabin. Living space is limited but very efficient, we had plenty of space, especially with the beautiful deck and screened in porch. We traveled 4 kids and 4 adults. The cabin was clean and the amenities were wonderful. The hot tub was a great way to unwind and watch the stars. It's off the beaten path, but a great family getaway to play at the lake (we paddleboarded, kayaked, swam and fished). We played games and enjoyed the fire in the evenings. Owner was very quick to respond and answer any questions. Cabin is just as the description states. Great vacation! Can't wait to go back.

The picture makes it look like a two story building but you only have access to the top floor so pay attention to how little square footage there is. This places is essentially just a single-wide trailer that has been remodeled to look like a "cabin." The water has A LOT of sulfur which will quickly fill the entire house as soon as you turn the sink on. It also makes showers pretty tough. It says that it sleeps 10 but that is counting two baby beds on one of the lofts. In reality this house could only work for a couple with multiple kids. More than 2 adults and your sleeping situation would be too tight.

We had a great time. Was a little hard getting up the hill up but everything else was great. Went fishing with the kids they each caught a fish for the first time, myself included. Walked around the lake and my son caught a little baby turtle. Was a nice quite vacation under the star with the fire pit and marshmallows.

We had a group of five adults looking to escape the city and the cabin in the woods was perfect. The hosts were excellent, the house size is perfect, and the lake is picturesque. As some have commented, the lake is a bit of a walk (~1 mile from the property) so be prepared for that, and the living quarters are cozy. All things considered, though, this place (and the hosts) are tough to beat.
