While this home could easily accommodate a family of 10 or 12, we were only two, visiting over a long weekend during an unseasonably warm spell for mid-November. We enjoyed the hot tub after days spent hiking around the parks and lakeside trails. We did not get to experience this home during its high summer season, when kids would no diloubt spend hours diving into the lake off the fork, swinging from the rope swing or playing pool, foosball and ping pong later in the garage into the night. Amply stocked with spices and cooking oil, a gift basket of cookies and chips, and a well accessorized kitchen with pots, pans, utensils and knives, we enjoyed peaceful nights' rest, waking with the morning light and doing puzzles until we were ready for bed. We came to unplug and recharge, and that is what we did. But the two large TVs and decent 5 GHZ wifi are a bonus if keeping up on college football or answering email are your needs.Several of the window sills need to be replaced and we had to go find light bulbs for a couple of bedside lamps. Other than that our stay was wonderful and we hope to go back in the late Spring or early summer to enjoy all the lake has to offer -- boating, fishing, swimming, and hawk watching... We must have seen two dozen hawks in the sky at one point, sitting down by the lake in the wooden swing around 5 pm, watching the sun descend and the golden light turn purple and fade into blackest night.
Two biggest complaints: there was no WiFi and the air conditioning vent in the downstairs bathroom leaked so bad we had to use all the towels and eventually a large pot to keep the floor dry. Communication via guest contact was useless. I emailed the first time at 6pm on Thursday, and it’s Sunday and I’ve still not gotten a response. There are plenty of other things that can be said about this listing both good and bad: the view is amazing. The outdoor seating areas were fantastic. And the hot tub worked great for us. But I would not book this listing again.
I definitely do not and would not ever suggest booking this rental! The photos are so misleading. Whoever took them understood the assignment! The house is really small. There is no way to sit at the table and allow people to be able to pass to the kitchen or front door. There is a funny smell that is trying to be covered by air freshener. The upstairs bathroom was moldy. The floors creaked very loudly. The carpet in bunk bed room was nasty. The stairs were difficult to walk up and down and the hand rail was too high. The bathroom downstairs was awkward with a cutout step up for the door. The furniture was in poor condition. Mattress was very very very firm. It was impossible to sleep downstairs with all the creaking from the beds upstairs and the floor sounding like it was fixing to fall through. The hot tub, which was one of the reasons we chose this property, would not heat up above 87 degrees. You could not enjoy sitting or fishing on the dock because there was a little row boat that was full of water and was actually causing the middle of the dock to dip down in the middle. The pool table and other games and doll houses are outside in the garage that only has a standup propane heater and no real seating. The dishes due to not having a water softener system had a white cloudy build up on them. There were no trash bags. In the checking in instructions it said the key was in a lockbox by the front door and what the code was when in actuality it was a keypad door lock, so we had spent 5-10 minutes looking for the lock box. There were several other things but this review is long enough. This was supposed to be a relaxing getaway weekend at the lake, but it ended up being a huge let down and left even more tired than when we arrived. It was definitely not worth the price that we paid.
Women of our family came into town to tour homes in Madison. House really sleep 8-9 adults comfortably
Great place to stay. Cozy house back in the cove. Great fishing area and very peaceful
Great location and beautiful lot but the house is a dump. Lot of bugs inside. House needs major renovations. Upstairs bath has wood and tile rot. Dishwasher not bolted in and falls out. House needs water softner to treat the water which makes the dishes look dirty. No directions to operate TVs. Not worth the $.
We felt right at home. Everything was as expected in the listing and our interaction with the house contact Ashley was awesome. Thank you so much for sharing your house with us.
This home was beautiful, right on the water and equipped with everything you need for a wonderful stay!
Wedid enjoy the house, very much. it’s a nice quiet lake location and owners were very responsive but house is very misleading. Upon arriving The house was not professionally cleaned. There was hair in bathroom drain, a dead cockroach in middle of bunk room. It was hard to find anything in kitchen because it’s all mixed up in cabinets. Pots were in 4 spots, oven was so filthy we couldn’t use it. Black smoke billowed out. owners were so gracious and offered to gone clean but we had small child and didn’t want fumes around a new infant. The bunk room claims twin sleeper sofa but it was literally falling apart, stuffing ripped out. Listing shows paddle boards but those were not present. It should be stated that game room /toys were in a detached garage. So children couldn’t be solo. There is no wifi, there’s a hotspot to pull off towers but wifi was unbelievably unreliable and Needs to be upgraded. We liked the house and location. All minor things but it def needs upgrading. Photos are very misleading.
The Evolve team was very attentive. The space was clean and set up how we needed it to be. It's not the nicest lake house (ongoing projects, could use updating), but it suited our needs perfectly and we enjoyed the proximity to the lake and to Atlanta.
