Amazing view!

The view from the balcony was amazing! Overall the property was good. Owner was easy to contact, location was convenient for all attractions, and there was plenty of space for everyone. It could have been a little cleaner and could use some upgrades but for the price I was happy with what we got!

Love the view

The place was laid out nice. Everything you could ask for in a kitchen for cooking. Along with items to grill. Living space felt clean and rustic like a stay in mountains should feel like. Internet work and TVs did there job when we were in taking a break. The freezer did have a leak into the fridge but didnt effect us. Over all, great stay

Graduation celebration

“The condo in the sky” was just that. It was clean and nice. The owner let you know everything up front. The only issue we had was finding the correct apartment number when we arrived, as it wasn’t in the instructions. We contacted Evolve rental company and all was good after that.

Not what was expected

The room itself is a little smaller than expected but decorated nicely. The kitchen has everything you need but the oven doesn’t really work well. When we arrived we found the doorknob on the inside was broken, the couch is ripped, and the screen to the balcony is ripped. When we first got here the code wasn’t changed and when I tried to reach the owner he never called me back. I had to call VRBO to get into the room. The views are great and it’s peaceful and quite. We even got to see a couple of bears from the condo. The most upsetting part of the trip is that the owner never replied back, even when VRBO reached out to “all parties involved” to get the door changed. Thankfully they had a code that worked or we would have been 8 hours from home with no where to stay.

Megan, we're sorry to hear you weren't satisfied with your stay. The homeowner is aware of several damages that were caused by a previous guest. The damages were primarily of aesthetic nature, rather than functionality, so the decision was made to honor all upcoming reservations so that guests wouldn't be left without accommodations. They are working diligently to have these issues repaired so future guests can fully enjoy this beautiful condo. We're confident that the problem with the entry code was an isolated incident, but do apologize for the lack of communication from the guest contact. They typically provide five-star hospitality and are available 24/7 to help with any questions or concerns. The owner was unaware of the issues you experienced and they truly go above and beyond for their guests. We are confident this condo will continue to host many satisfied guests. Best, the Evolve Team

Location is the only saving grace

FYI we didn’t have lofty expectations given past reviews. We were still disappointed in the condition of the property. Everything was dirty, and outdated except the towels which thankfully were clean. Renovated is the word used in the description and this is misleading. We had the same issue as previous guests, received email stating door access code was one thing then when we arrived at 11:45 pm the code didn’t work. Thankfully someone answered at the number provided and they gave us the right code. Says sleeps 8 with an air mattress but there’s nowhere you could put one so really sleeps 6. The balcony is tiny with enough room to seat 2 but the view is very nice. We were just disappointed we couldn’t all enjoy it at once. Tvs came on but we could not access any cable or antenna channels so they were useless. We also found no WiFi info. The loft does stay warm even with the ceiling and stand fans and there’s a skylight with no cover so it gets bright very early. We didn’t cook but kitchen seemed to have the necessities even though the appliances are old and grungy and we can’t confirm they work. We had no problems but you should be aware the access roads to these condos are very steep and winding. Pool areas were nice and there’s a tiny slide and swings for very small children. Condo was simply a place to sleep and shower but little else. We won’t return.

Kendra and Rob, we're glad you enjoyed the beautiful location and breathtaking views! However, we're sorry to hear that your stay fell short of your expectations. We strive to make our listings as accurate as possible-it's one of our 4 Core Property Standards. We use professionals for both pictures, and the listing description, to precisely advertise the property. This way, all guests can know what to expect before booking, but we're sorry if you felt your experience wasn't fitting to the listing. We apologize if you had any trouble with cleanliness during your stay, and the homeowners are taking measures to ensure this won't be an issue for future guests. The air mattress can fit in the living room, although we realize it is a tight fit, so we apologize for any inconvenience. The Wifi is the community Wifi, but we're sorry for the difficulty you had using it. For any maintenance or amenities issues, we encourage guests to contact the property manager so any problem can be dealt with immediately. We thank you for your feedback, as we are always open to suggestions to improve for future guests. These owners go above and beyond for their travelers, and we're confident this property will continue to host many satisfied guests! Best, the Evolve Team

Condo view

The view was amazing, but the balcony only had 1 chair and that chair needed to be replaced. The inside of condo needs cosmetic repair. The refrigerator needs replaced, food got wet due to condensation collecting . We did not get to use the pool ,the water was too cold, even though it was advertised as a heated pool. The drive to get to condo, is on the adventurous side . One day we were above the low lying clouds. We did see a bear on drive down the mountain. Code given to enter condo was not correct, thankfully the owner answered right away and we were able to get in.

Don’t Bother

We showed up after driving 11 hours, and we couldn’t get into the property (incorrect code sent to us). The items that were supposed to be on location were not on location (ie hair dryer, clean towels, clean sheets, drawers for clothes, hangers for clothes, etc). This property was solely selected for the indoor pool as we traveled during spring break; the indoor pool was closed for roof maintenance, and we were not notified (it had been closed for a minimum of two weeks). The cleanliness of the property WAS ATROCIOUS… sticky floors, dust bunnies, stains on towels, stains on sheets… we traveled with my two year old who could have easily fell to his death off the balcony as either side of the balcony had gaping holes where the railing met the permanent building structure. Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else with a great view… You’ll thank me later!!!

Very nice location with beautiful views

Property had amazing views. The deck was very small only fit 2-3 people. We seen black bears every night which was exciting. In the morning we seen a mama bear and cubs. Somebody needs to do a deep cleaning of the place. The kitchen is very small, but if you’re not going to be there all day it’s not a big deal, or for us it wasn’t. Otherwise we had a great stay.
