Wonderful

We all loved and enjoyed staying at the cabin. We did have a problem with the heater upstairs but it was addressed immediately. Great customer service. The stairwell is a bit difficult to use but it is doable. With icy roads it was a bit difficult to go up the street google maps suggested. We went the long way around and it worked perfectly.
It is a great cabin will definitely rent again in the future.

Weekend Getaway
The property was clean and large enough to accommodate our family of 10. The upstairs is one large room with beds lining the walls and a 2 piece restroom in the middle. The only drawback is that there is only an outside spiral staircase to access the upstairs. There is also only one bathroom with a small tub and shower for the entire property. We were disappointed in the outside area. The picture gives the illusion that there is a large front yard and there is not. Overall it was nice and the large front porch was a plus.

Hi Donna, we're glad you had plenty of space for your group and enjoyed your stay overall! After going over your review, the homeowner would like to share the following: The listing accurately represents the property, mentioning the spiral staircase is the only access point to the upper deck and bunkhouse and that there is one shower in the home. We provide plenty of details in the listing description about the property and location, but we also encourage guests to research the area before booking to ensure it is the right fit for your needs. We do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests!

Ubicación muy buena , los colchones pésimos , medio baño en la planta alta malísimo porque se supone que es para 7 personas y abajo solo 1 baño tienes que bajar por fuera para bañarte !!! la escalera de caracol por fuera muy peligrosa y mas cuando hace frío o cae nieve
Our family was looking for a place that sleeps a large number of people and that didn’t break the bank. This place checked off both boxes. We were a little disappointed that there was no WiFi (and thus no TV) while we were there.
Everything was great clean you could use more kitchen utensils for example blender mixer internet needs to be updated as well we were not able to watch a whole movie without us having to reset the modem every 15 minutes other than that everything was great
We loved our stay at this quiet place that was a perfect fit for our family. The children loved their upstairs bunkhouse where they set up their gaming system and they all fed the deer where they actually ate out of their hands. The adults loved the downstairs where we cooked large meals and all sat together at the big table in the dining room or the covered porch on the patio. Walk to the creek was a blast for all. It was an amazing place to stay and we will be back. Thank you Pam for everything.
We really loved where we stayed, but the bed were very old and very uncomfortable. For 10 of us adults one full bar was very rough but I guess didn’t pay attention to that when I booked it. Also getting to the second floor was very dangerous the spiral staircase was so narrow. I am sorry to say I would not rent this property again.

Softball tournament
The property was very neat and clean when we arrived and accommodated a men's softball team. Every player that stayed had a bed and the porch provided a relaxing atmosphere plus enjoyed the company of local deer and even got to see a female moose nearby. The guys really enjoyed their stay.

Quiet and peaceful
The property was very clean. The cabin had everything that we needed. Some issues that we had were 1) The spiral staircase was very steep for older people 2) Beds needed to be upgraded, mattresses were very soft 3) Toilet was running when we returned at the end of one of the days that we were there. At the end of the week, I would say that it was a pleasant experience.

James, we are so happy that the week turned out to be an enjoyable stay and truly appreciate the valuable feedback. We are working with the homeowner to provide awareness for the staircase to the bunk area on the listing description so future guests know what to expect. The bunk area is a great place for children, but certainly, safety comes first. The homeowners have proactively serviced the toilet, to make sure the bulb is working properly for future visits. Speaking of which, they will be visiting the cabin in August and will make sure to check out the beds for possible upgrades. We value the opportunity to improve the cabin with each rental, this year alone putting in new A/C, heating, a larger hot water tank and many other improvements. Thank you again for taking the time to tell us about your experience! Best, the Evolve Team
