• Bed bug bites

  1/5

  We stayed at the house for two nights. Some of my family members were with me. My wife and I stayed in the master bedroom. The first morning my wife and I had a couple bites which we were to believe they were mosquito bites from being outside in the hot tub. The second day after sleeping in the master we were covered in over 25 bites from sleeping in the master bed. Our bites have lasted over a 12 days. When reported to evolve they notified the owners and sent a exterminator out days later after reporting the bites. They told us the exterminator didn’t find bed bugs and evolve never did anything to refund our money. We sent in proof that my wife and I were bit but still dismissed our case. Very dissatisfied in vrbo and evolve. I work in customer service and have a small rental company myself. When things like this happen we take care of our customer. VRBO and evolve failed to do so. Will no longer book with or stay at this cabin.

  Aaron, we take claims like this seriously and would like to clarify the items mentioned in your review. The homeowners immediately had a professional team investigate the property for bed bugs or any other critters. The technicians did not find any evidence of bed bugs or pests, and this report was forwarded to Evolve as evidence. As the home is located in nature, critters can occasionally enter, so we believe you may have experienced a few harmless bugs during your stay. We do sincerely apologize that we were unable to come to an agreeable solution based on the documentation provided but are confident that future guests will have excellent stays here!

• Great Cabin With Stunning Views

  4/5

  The cabin was as pictured in the listing. Comfortable, cozy, decorated nicely. Only complaint is that the coffee maker was broken (a Keurig would be a better option for future guests). Also, the list of rules stated that guests are responsible for sweeping/mopping floors before leaving. I’m pretty sure that’s what the cleaning fee was for, so hard pass on that. Granted, had we made a supreme mess, we would have of course cleaned it. But regular sweeping and mopping when you pay a high cleaning fee is a silly request. Despite those couple of minor things, the stay was great and the cabin was a wonderful and spacious place to stay.

  From the owner: "Hi Trey, thank you for your stay! Yeah the sweeping thing is just in case there's excessive mess it's not to clean the place. Thank you for your awesome comments about the house and glad we got the coffee thing taking care of. We hope to host you again!"

• Mostly a great place!

  3/5

  The good: This is a super cozy cabin. Over the last year and change we've stayed at three places with hot tubs and this one was the cleanest, which makes a big difference. As someone who has played too much foos ball I approved of the foos table there. Though we didn't use it, the grill set up on the deck looks awesome. The views of mountains and stars were amazing. The not-so-good: I wish we'd been told someone was gonna service the hot tub while we were there. Having a surprise stranger on the property burst the private vacation bubble a little. And it's a little creepy that they have signs saying the neighbors are watching, with a picture of a person staring through huge binoculars. Like, just ask me not to have an outdoor fire, don't creep me out on my vacation. And the dart board is a digital one; those are so awful and unplayable that they shouldn't be called dart boards. And it's a stretch to call that kitchen "fully stocked," when it lacked basic items like a peeler, measuring spoons, and measuring cups.

  From the owner: "Thank you for the nice comments about our cabin. The scenery is one of our favorite parts as well. We're sorry your stay was less than perfect, but we hope we were able to shed some light below.
  -The sign's sole purpose is to prevent fires in the subdivision because of its proximity to the woods. Due to the severity of the rule, it is similar to a neighborhood watch and is not there to intimidate.
  -We appreciate your feedback. We don't provide metal darts because of their potential damage to the walls.
  -We do provide plenty of kitchen supplies and utensils, but we apologize if you were not able to locate them during your stay. We encourage guests to reach out so we can assist with any questions or concerns.
  Thank you for taking the time to leave a review."

• Great all around!
