Realized I made an error in booking 30 seconds after I did so. Requested a refund immediately and it took 23 hours for Evolve to respond after many efforts to contact them. They refused the refund and denied date change request. Do not book...

"Jason, Thank you for providing this feedback. We missed the mark and we apologize. We’re sorry that we couldn't keep our promise to make vacation rentals easier for everyone. We understand your frustration and we take full responsibility. We did try to work with you to see if you wanted to change the dates of your trip and you declined. We understand that you wanted a refund but we have policies and as much as we'd like to say yes to everyone we have to abide by the rules and policies for all our owners.
We would like you to know that the owner had nothing to do with this and they tried their best to get you what you wanted. This property has a strong history of 5-star reviews and their reviews show that their home is in a beautiful location communication with Marie is easy and she provides all the essential needs for anyone to stay in and relax in a comfortable, clean, and well-stocked environment.
Our apologies and we wish you safe travels in the future."
Great house. Clean. Quite. One issue, steps to upstairs too steep and dangerous for older folks. We had to leave our suitcases downstairs. This needs to be in the notes on the house. . Thanks

We loved every minute of our stay at this perfectly-situated and well-appointed home. It was near town and close to a variety of hiking trails and waterfalls. The host was attentive, flexible and very easy to reach. The screened in porch was the perfect place to relax, and the extra apartment over the cottage was perfect for our young adult children to enjoy. We can't wait to return.
