Disliked: Listing accuracy
This is no fault of property owner whom we never spoke to or contacted via VRBO. We will never book another property managed by Evolve. They confirmed prior to booking that the property had a fenced yard for our two active boxers. This was our main priority because we had no plans to go out and about, strictly wanted to enjoy the property, wildlife and creek. I had to take the dogs out in the dark every night, sometimes at 2am with flash light , scared to death that I would have a run in with a dangerous animal. Immediately at checkin I called the host and she communicated the issue with Evolve. They finally took down the fence photo and admitted it was their responsibility entirely. They stated in beginning that recent storm had damaged the fence. We booked months in advance and they had no issues reaching out for timely payments but never mentioned any issues with fence. I had to keep asking for an update. Finally on the fifth day they advised they would issue a 62 and change refund. Unacceptable when Pet fee was 90 and we paid over 2k for six nights. Evolve later mentioned the fence had been gone for sometime.

Response from VrboOwner on 17 Sept 2026
We appreciate you sharing your experience and are sorry the fencing information did not accurately reflect the property at the time of your stay. We understand that a secure yard was an important part of your booking decision, especially when traveling with dogs. The listing has since been updated to reflect the property’s current setup. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the communication surrounding this concern and remain committed to providing future guests with clear, accurate property information and timely support.

Another Wonderful Stay!

This was our 5th stay at this beautiful rental that feels like home to us. Location is beautiful and relaxing. Love sitting on the deck over the creek and fires in the firepit. Home is comfortable and clean. Kitchen is well stocked and has every small appliance you could possibly need. Will definitely return - as this is now a yearly destination for us. Highly recommend!

Beautiful home, great location

This was the perfect home for our north Georgia vacation! The location was easily accessible, in a quiet area and close to everything we needed. The home had everything we needed and more, and was very clean. We felt right at home! We also appreciated the large deck and gated outdoor area.
