Hi Amy, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We truly appreciate your thoughts and insights, and we have shared them with the homeowner. They would like to respond in a friendly and understanding manner: -First and foremost, we want to apologize that your stay did not meet your expectations. We understand how important it is to have effective communication channels, and we regret any inconvenience caused by you texting the landline instead of the provided cell phone number. We always make it a priority to email guests with this information immediately before their arrival. We appreciate your understanding and the Evolve staff notified us of your later correspondence, but unfortunately, this was only after you had already departed. Please know that we are committed to promptly responding to emails, calls, and texts on our cell phones as soon as we receive them from our guests. We apologize for any miscommunication that occurred. -Regarding the yard and cabin maintenance, we were unaware that the service we typically rely on did not arrive in a timely manner. We understand the frustration caused by this delay. Due to the shortage of staff in the area, it has become challenging to secure tradespeople for necessary work. To address this issue proactively, we have decided to take matters into our own hands and perform a significant portion of the work ourselves instead of hiring external help. This will ensure better control over the maintenance schedule and alleviate any future delays. -We want to clarify that we have never advertised that the cabin includes a TV. We understand that many guests seek a vacation that offers an escape from the city and everyday stress, allowing them to reconnect with nature and tune out the outside world. For this reason, we do not provide TVs in the cabin. However, we do offer various forms of entertainment such as board games, playing cards, and a selection of books for our guests to enjoy. Once again, we sincerely apologize for any inconveniences you experienced during your stay. We hope that the generous measures we took to make things right helped to compensate for some of the inconveniences you encountered. We genuinely value your feedback, as it helps us improve our offerings and provide better experiences for our guests.

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed the cabin! We've made some improvements so please come back to visit!

If you want quiet and private this is it. It has the best stocked kitchen I’ve seen. We needed nothing. Susan is great to work with. She is great to communicate with. She also furnishes real toilet paper. Thank you Susan.
