Hi Rob, the homeowner wanted to thank you for staying with them and for the kind review. You were a great guest and they would be happy to host you again!

Kayla, we take claims like this seriously and would like to clarify the items mentioned in your review:-The homeowners immediately had a professional team investigate the property for bed bugs or any other critters. The technicians did not find any evidence of bed bugs or pests, and this report was forwarded to Evolve as evidence. We wish you had reached out to the Guest Contact during your stay if there were any issues you needed to be addressed. We would have done everything we could to resolve them immediately so that you could enjoy the home-We recently installed a new refrigerator and as the one removed was still in great condition, we placed it in the backyard to be moved to storage. However, this did not take place until after your stay. Additionally, we built a new six-foot wooden fence around the whole backyard so guests have more privacy and there was a small trailer with some leftover wood from the fence build. All items have been removed from the backyard and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have causedThank you for taking the time to leave a review. Your feedback is important to us, and we appreciate the opportunity to address these concerns. We have worked very hard to provide a clean and comfortable place for guests to enjoy and will continue to do all we can to provide the best possible stay for our guests!

Hi Chad, we followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following: Our goal is to ensure that our guests have an exceptional stay with us and provide high standards of hospitality. We are sorry to hear that you did not have the five-star stay we endeavor to provide our guests. - We're in the process of constructing a larger fence around the backyard, allowing guests to access the entire yard while enjoying enhanced privacy. Additionally, there are fencing supplies stored behind the shed, safely covered with a tarp. In regards to the paint chips, it's worth noting that the house is more than 50 years old, and the windows are the original ones. - We value the condition of our amenities and we apologize for the grill. We discovered that it could be cleaned, and the table and chairs often gather dust due to the local air quality. To ensure efficiency, we ensure to wipe down before each guest arrives. - For added comfort, the back bedroom has a ceiling fan with three speeds which provides ample air movement for cooling. - Considering the available amenities and spacious bedrooms for guest use, we are confident that you've secured an excellent deal with your booking of the house. We truly do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests.
