Lanesville Home w/ Pool Table, Bar & Deck!

We’re glad to hear parts of the home helped make your stay comfortable, and we appreciate you sharing thoughtful feedback. After sending your comments to the homeowner, they’d like to share the following: - It’s great to hear the well-stocked kitchen, spacious layout, and gathering areas worked well for your group, as providing plenty of supplies and comfortable spaces for guests is a priority. - Your feedback was shared with Evolve right away, and several of the items were reviewed shortly after being brought to attention. - The lighting, stair areas, electrical outlets, and outdoor walkway will be reviewed to determine where updates or adjustments may improve comfort and safety. - Notes about the pool table condition and the water quality have also been received, and both will be evaluated to ensure the amenities remain enjoyable for guests. Thanks for your kind and constructive feedback.

WOW! Thank you so much, we really enjoyed having you stay at our home. Please, if you are coming back , reserve asap as the previous guests are already beginning to reserve for next year and we would love to have you and your friends again! You left the house in perfect condition ! We were also so happy to know that you enjoyed the many events close to the house, and , particularly pleased to know: "The grounds and nearby stream were beautiful. ...... we had some folks who just stayed in the house the whole time, content staying in." It is a beautiful place and the energy was definitely enhanced by you and your friends. Thank you for your kind words and we look forward to seeing you again, and again!!

Joe McAteer Joe threatened me with several text messages that I must pay him $1500 plus back as he was going to contact VRBO about the house being inadequate for him. He wanted a free vacation. He rented for 4 days and stayed only 3.5 days and arrived early on day 1 for FREE, I texted him everyday to make sure he was comfortable and he always replied he was. We approached him on several occasions to see if he needed anything and he said everything was OK and needed nothing. He reserved for 6 adults and 4 children. On New Years Eve there were over 17-20 people in the house equipped with dangerous fireworks and all without even asking permission to invite guests into the house that was only reserved for 10 people. They proceeded to damage the floors with deep gauged scratches by moving 5 tables recklessly, we are always ready to help guests and to move the furniture for them &.to especially move tables or anything else if needed. They ignored the signs on the wall asking guests not to move the tables and if the floor gets damaged by the guest the repair money will come out of their damage deposit check. The house was clean before they arrived. We found dirt from our plants smudged on the windowsill, seemingly, staged for photos and the hack begins. Joe was preparing the photos to get a free vacation even though he partied , enjoyed and lived here for 3.5 days out of the 4 which were reserved. The awful weather created “mashed potatoes” for skiers and they were not happy with the conditions. I thought they were leaving early because of the ski conditions to be honest with you. We had a giant snow storm a week prior covering up everything under a foot of snow. Then we had a giant rain storm the made everything muddy. We lost power as well. Luckily the power returned and the water ebbed before the guests arrived. I am not sure how Joe can identify the poop that was revealed by these storms as dog poop. There are bears, coyotes, raccoons, deer, bob cats and more animals roaming free in this Catskills Park and we are bordering the woods that are abundant with lovely animal life. The animals always cross our lawn to get to the water below. It is nature and there’s poop sometimes. We do try to make it clean for the guests but this muddy mess was mother natures art work. We have a slate path between the hedges to walk upon and to keep your shoes clean to the decks that are protected from moisture. He chose the muddy route. We are not under major construction . It is constantly being updated for our guests since 2004. Our water is very healthy as it is full of minerals and tested as the finest around. These guests drank 3 five gallon bottles of water and loved it. High mineral water is difficult for some things. It can stain things like showers, tubs, sinks, porcelain. We struggle to keep the staining to a minimum. These things are always sanitized and very clean but the color staining needs special attention to keep sparkling clean while it is actually sanitized. The general house description is accurate . We were offering to convert 6 twin beds into 3 king beds upon request by the guest. This is no longer an option, thanks to Joe. Why would Joe need 3 extra king beds if he was not planning to sneak in more guests? I wonder. The dish soap was not watered down. We leave dish soap in a spray bottle with a water mixture for the guests to easily spray on the dishes as needed and the dishes & pots will be easier to clean when the time comes to actually wash the dishes. There were also 25 containers of all different types of soaps and cleaning tools under the three bin sink. We have pictures of all the supplies. There were no empty containers or wet mops or rags left behind. There was no evidence of anything being mopped or cleansers left. The sink was left full of dirty and greasy BURNT pots, pans, dishes, glasses, etc. piled high in the giant three bin sink with grease and oil everywhere. Everything in the kitchen was used and moved from one side of the room to the other and left that way. Addressing the flattened lounge chair: We have three couches and a lounge in the living room. It is a pretty set all bought together. For some reason the lounge is thinner than the rest and we leave pillows everywhere for the guests to use to make themselves comfy. The fireplace always works but it was so warm out that there was no need for it . It was time to cool off instead. The guests even left the air conditioners on full blast with the heat on full blast and doors wide open and the windows above the four windows wide open when they left to go for a day skiing on the mountain. Richard, the owner of the house, is a master electrician and fully licensed. He did not leave any dangerous wires around. He did not go against any code or law. Everything was approved and inspected. We sent pictures and not one thing was a violation. They purposely left the house in a total mess and said it was cleaner then when they arrived. Joe repeatedly texted Lorry asking her to make a deal and give him over $1500 back for the rented weekend or he would contact VRBO with his letter. Lorry still feels threatened by him and is afraid he will do something else, we may need an order of protection. The next group of guests ,who arrived a few days after Joe, gave us a 5 star review.

The guests are polite, prompt and clean! We hope they come back often and very soon!

You are excellent guests and we truly hope to host you any time at all. Please, come back very soon, you have great energy.

Thank you 🙏 I hope you come back as we follow up on your recommendations. We are on 15 acres , the antique cars may not be ours …. Best regards to all, Lorry & Rich
