The house itself was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, but poor communication from the host made our stay disappointing.We booked this lakefront home specifically for the dock and boat slip. A week before arrival, we asked the host, Andy, whether the water was deep enough for our 20-foot runabout. He replied that there had been "no complaints." Upon arrival, the lake level was too low to use the dock, and its steep angle made it unusable. We understand the host cannot control lake levels, but accurate information would have allowed us to adjust our plans instead of towing our boat 2½ hours unnecessarily.We also found that the coffee maker was missing its glass carafe and the backyard tree lights did not work. We reported both issues immediately, but Andy's only response was that the coffee pot "should be by the coffee maker," despite us explaining we had searched everywhere. We received no further replies.After contacting Evolve on the second day, they apologized and said they would work with the local team and provide updates, but we never heard anything further.We expected to pay a premium for a lakefront property with a usable dock. Since the lake access wasn't usable, we could have rented a comparable non-lakefront home for much less. Better communication and responsiveness would have made a significant difference in our experience.
