Fun place to spend time at the lake. Very easy check-in. The house was great. The boathouse had some damage from recent storms. When those repairs are complete it will be a great place for us to stay.

We were more than 12 people stayed in here, overall, our experience was very nice but there are couple areas, like garage, decks, windows need your attention. The property manager was quick to respond to messages while we were at the location, which is appreciated. They bought a new grill and water hose on our request. Overall, this property offered a great value, and we enjoyed a lot. We would return again.

Nice, but cheap.
The house was good, it was clean but it also appeared as though we weee the first ones to stay in a while. The toilets had a gross rim of stain and there was dust over must things. The furniture was cheap and most of it was coming apart. Please be prepared and read the description that all the common dwelling areas (kitchen and living room) are upstairs. It was a great location, the kids had fun fishing off the dock and playing in the mud.

Great experience lovely home nice view of the water from the sun room. The only thing I would say that needs fixing is the dock it is semi not safe to get on and the stairs getting out of the water have a lot algae on it which makes it hard to get out. With that being said I very much enjoyed the house.

Nice place to relax with family
When reviewing the listing, I had questions. I reached out to Evolve and the rep told me they didn't know information on the house. I asked for contact info for the property. They gave me the guy listed in several reviews as no longer being connected to the property. I explained that per the reviews, that was bad info. They STILL gave me his contact. Getting the right contact was far more difficult than need be. Now about the house... the layout is odd. Based on the order of the photos we thought the "en-suite" bathroom was connected to one of the rooms with a king sized bed. Not the case. There are 2 rooms with kings upstairs - neither have a bathroom connected. One of them had a TV that didn't have a working remote so we had to reprogram the remote from one room to another in order to use it. There is 1 bathroom in the hall up stairs. Downstairs there is a room, with the squeakiest queen sized bed, that has a true en-suite bathroom. That room has no fan. It was insanely quiet and every time someone upstairs walked/moved/did anything touching the floor - it woke us up. On top of the already squeaky bed, we got little sleep. Kids bunk room was set up awesome! Only downfall there was that the Roku didn't work, but no biggie since there were other TVs. 3rd bathroom is across the hall from the bunkroom downstairs. Kids loved playing in there! There was no outside fridge in the garage for drinks, etc. That picture needs to be updated. The dock... we called because we couldn't get the lights to work. Super responsive and came the next day. The photo that shows the fish cleaning area should make mention that it doesn't work at all. The pipes leading to the sink aren't even connected. We did have some great times catching fish though! The retaining wall is pulled pretty far off so definitely not safe for little children. The owners are waiting on the permit to redo it. Kitchen had everything we needed aside from storage for leftovers. Dollar General is right down the street, so we got what we needed there. Sunroom was AWESOME! There was plenty of space for our 3 families. The owner was quick to respond back when asking things. Only other odd thing, the entire middle of the yard holds water. Not sure if it is a leaking pipe, the drain pipe from the neighbor's pipe or the septic. It was gross though so don't plan to use that area. The house was incredibly clean. Maybe one of the cleanest houses we have ever used on VRBO.

Great view and lots of space to play!
The house was nicely upgraded inside, very easy to access, plenty of places to sleep and TVs In each bedroom. Some of the remotes did not work, bring batteries. House was overall clean inside. The boat dock needed maintenance along with the upstairs porch. Fans did not work on porches. Slow coffee maker inside and not a lot of spices in cabinet. Two kayaks, ready and easy to use. One adult and one youth life jacket only. Bring your own. Overall very fun stay!

Honest review
Let’s start with the great things! Such a beautiful view, I wish it wasn’t winter bc the water looked very inviting. Loved the back porch, very comfortable beds, nice balcony and lots of games provided. The pictures online showed that the grill is Propane but it is in fact charcoal. So make sure to bring some! The lake house is right by a busy road. The house was very clean except for inside a few of the cabinets, and 1 stained throw pillow. Overall we had a great time!

Overall OK
To start I have to say the view from this house is absolutely gorgeous but there are a few things that we weren't happy about. To start we got an email with contact person and all the checkin information. Upon arrival the house upstairs was very hot but downstairs was freezing. I called the contact person who said would get maintenance guy out in the morning if remained cold. The following day when I contacted him he informed me he was no longer with company amd gave us the correct information. Pris was great amd attentive but the information emailed needs to be updated. As for the house itself the inside decor has been updated but after AC company came out found out the system was old and ducts were torn hence why there was such a great discrepancy in the temperature upstairs vs downstairs. Not much they could do during our stay but it was intolerably cold downstairs which limited sleepimg space (it was a good thing we had a small group). The place has nice grills but very limited seating outside as over half the chairs in sunroom are broken. Also we were afraid to go on the dock as the wood supporting the dock is rotten and one corner of the dock has zero support (all the boards are broken and rotten and not sure if the other support beams). This house inside is fine but definitely needs work done Overall would not rent this property again unless extensive repairs are done and furniture updated.

Overall the home was very nice other than: 1. The upstairs bathroom was leaking to the downstairs bathroom water spot on bathroom ceiling downstairs). 2. Window in sunroom was broken and hazardous with small children around. 3. Toaster smoked when trying to use so we unplugged. 4. Dryer does NOT work. (Does not tumble) 5. Toilet paper holder downstairs is falling off wall. 6. Garbage cans outside were completely full when we arrived. 7. Upstairs toilet is broken (not flushing). Also, I tried to call our contact and sent him a text stating I needed him to call ASAP on Saturday and he never responded. We managed to get the help we needed by calling 911. Was totally disappointed that our contact never returned my call or text.

Great Family Lake House!
The house and property was great and we loved the backyard! They are dog friendly, but they don’t have a fenced yard, so bring a long leash to steak out. Be aware that they email you the access info, but fail to let you know that you will get an email and no other correspondence or notes to let you know you need to check your email. It went to my spam box and we were scrambling at the last min get in. The small nuances were easily overshadowed by the wonderful weekend we had. We would definitely stay again!

Started out awful ...ended up okay
First of all I never write bad reviews so I hate doing this because I know people work hard to take care of their properties...,,,We received a phone call about 45 minutes before our arrival that the house has still not been cleaned bc the cleaning lady was locked out. The cleaning lady bless her cleaned it as quickly as she could and we had to sit there with our dog for two hours before we could get in after we had traveled four hours to get there . The house is very nice .....one of downstairs bathroom toilet did not work at all. Downstairs does not have central air and heat which was not in the listing . Upstairs was absolutely perfect . Kitchen was well stocked and clean. Boat lifts on dock are not operational at all. This was upsetting considering we had two boats to put in the water . Luckily there is a boat ramp about 1/4 mile up the road. We had to trailer both boats every time we went out and maneuver in the small driveway . The driveway is very small for a large truck with boat trailer especially two but we made it work . They have done a very nice job remodeling for sure just honestly would not have rented had we known our in-laws would not have heat or Ac downstairs. If you are only using upstairs and don’t have a boat then this rental would be perfect .
