    It was a nice place but had terribly water pressure. It was nice that the owner responded once I text them. Carpets were very dirty.

    The location was fun and the property had a lot of space for our kiddos to run around and enjoy the outdoors! The home itself was clean and had plenty of space for us to spread out as two families of 5 each. I wish I could give the space a higher rating, however, there were several safety issues for young kids that weren't fun to discover once there. The deck is clearly in process of being updated, which is great, however, the way they blocked off the unsafe stairwell invited our toddlers to try and climb it instead of actually prohibiting them. The dock had missing boards with rusty screws sticking up where the boards had been. My 5yr old son (who only weighs 42lbs) actually had his foot break through an old board in the middle of the dock. And we discovered an outlet cover with live wires behind it not properly attached to the wall when my 1yr old was pulling on it. Again, based on location and actual space of the property, I wish I could give this place a full five star review. However, if you are going to open your space up to visitors(especially children), I would hope that you would make your space not only welcoming, but safe.

    We were disappointed by the lack of towels, washcloths and dishtowels. The towels that were there were Rattie and were very old. Downstairs had a dank smell and after running the dehumidifier, was better. The outbuildings described were quite a walk. we did bring water for coffee and drinking because previous reviews stated rusty water pressure in sinks was very low, however showers had pressure. Carpet was in dire need of cleaning, very dirty and spotted.The good parts: new decking on main deck, however the stairs and lower deck were closed off due to rotting of deck boards. new patio furniture was nice. Beds were comfortable. We had a nice time though. We saw wildlife which was great! Probably would not rent again; sorry.

    no response from property manager although we tried the numbers and emailed. there was a sewer smell, toilet in the basement could not be used nor the shower as sewer was coming up in the shower. It is a beautiful spot but this place needs some attention and better management

    Space is nice, could use some up keep and cleaning. Didn't expect the strong iron in the water. Enjoyed the scenery and wildlife.

    The property was in poor condition. Towles were hard to find and were also in poor condition plus there were no linens in the kitchen area except for one very dirty sponge! The Gazebo and dock were over a block from the cabin-not conducive for a family to enjoy-plus the dock was in terrible condition. OUr older grandsons did swim to the swimming platform but found it covered in green moss!! Very disappointed with this VRBO-and the cost of the additional charges from Evolve were way too extreme-doubt I will do this again!!

    Our stay at the cabin in the was absolutely delightful. This spacious retreat proved to be perfect for all ages, including our dogs, who had a fantastic time exploring the wooded area and playing freely. The cabin's accommodating nature made our stay comfortable and enjoyable for everyone. One of the highlights was the easy access to ATV trails right across the road, which provided endless adventure and fun. The location was also ideal for visiting nearby tourist attractions, with plenty of activities to keep us entertained throughout our stay. Initially, we were a bit skeptical due to some reviews about cleanliness, but we found the cabin to be just what we expected for a lake place in the woods. It was spacious inside and out. The beach, though a bit weedy, featured a floating dock. We had a great time using the canoe and pedal boat to go back and forth to the dock. The serene lake setting added to the charm and tranquility of our vacation. Our experience was so positive that we wished we had booked for more days. Everyone enjoyed the cabin so much that we have decided to make this our yearly vacation home. We can't wait to come back and create more wonderful memories at this beautiful cabin in the woods.

    The place was in a very good location. Loved the area, restaurant and bar very near. There were not enough supplies like toilet paper, paper towels, dish clothes and no dish soap. Lots of spider webs and a big hornets nest on the lake side of house. With some work this would be a really nice place.

    The online pictures looks great but the actual property does not meet the expectations. And lack of maintenance and supports.

    Unfortunately there was miscommunication between the management and cleaning crew, as the property was not taken care of before we arrived. Cleanliness was a Issue in kitchen and bedrooms. The charming outer area building, gazebo and small cabin were not prepared for guest therefore, unusable. Other than cleanliness, the property is charming and spacious. The property is beautiful, wooded on the lake. Despite the initial problems my concerns were addressed with the management company Evolve, who compensated me for the initial troubles.
