Enchanting Highlands Cottage w/ Pond & Waterfall

What a wonderful note to read! We're so glad your girls' trip was filled with relaxation, from the clean, well-appointed home to that screened porch with the pond view and waterfall sounds. It's great to hear the beds were comfy and the space was dark and quiet for restful nights. Thank you for sharing such a detailed and heartfelt review!

Susan, we’re so glad your girls' weekend was comfortable and enjoyable from start to finish! It's wonderful to hear that Chelsey Cottage exceeded expectations and that the decor stood out to you in person. Comments like this make all the effort we put into the space feel truly worthwhile. We appreciate you sharing your experience and are thrilled to hear you'd choose to stay again. We look forward to having you back with us soon!

Amy, thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted that you enjoyed the screened porch, comfortable beds, and beautiful surroundings. It means so much to hear that your family made special memories together, from meals and games on the porch to puzzles between hikes. We’d love to welcome you and your family back to our Highlands cottage for another relaxing mountain getaway soon!

Charles, thank you for staying with us during the holidays and ringing in the new year at Chelsey Cottage. We’re glad to hear you had a great stay and enjoyed our comfortable beds and accommodations. Please come back and stay with us again soon.

We're so glad you loved the home's cozy, lived-in feel and found the kitchen and beds comfortable. It was an unusually warm summer, and while the nights are normally cool enough for the fans to draw air into those downstairs bedrooms, we understand it made sleeping a bit harder this time, so we're considering adding individual A/C units to those two rooms. We're also not sure what caused the communication breakdown with Vrbo on your check-in day, as we don't deal with Vrbo directly, but we have been sending personal welcome texts from us to guests at check-in, and we'll make sure Evolve addresses this issue with Vrbo. We're happy the stay was still comfortable and enjoyable overall and we hope you will come stay with us again soon!

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the initial miscommunication surrounding your service animal prior to check-in — we completely understand how frustrating that experience was, and we are actively reviewing our check-in handoffs to prevent this from happening again. Regarding the outdoor area, our team is inspecting the porch immediately to ensure all cords are safely routed and cleared. We also appreciate your note on the stairs; while they were fully rebuilt to local safety codes during our 2021 renovation, we will continue ensuring our listing descriptions make the layout clear so future guests can plan accordingly.
