• Perfect getaway home

  5/5

  Perfect home for a vacation with family. My kids loved it. Plenty of space for many activities. The playground is a plus if you have little ones.

• Decent Stay

  3/5

  The cabin was pretty clean when we arrived and provided plenty of bathroom towels, shampoo/conditioner, soap, etc. Early check in was allowed and the host seemed kind and accommodating. The property backs up to the river and is a nice piece of land conveniently located about 25 minutes from Hot Springs. Smaller children will enjoy the swingset located in the front of the property.

  However, there are some items we feel need immediate attention: STRONG septic smell on back patio where we had planned to spend a lot of time (property has obvious run-off issues and a “septic spring”), the bathtub appears to have a clog, loose steps on deck, and three of the four doors would not deadbolt. You can tell the property was redone nicely to be an income property, but has a lot of wear and is in need of some repairs. For the cost, including the absurd fees, of $322 a night, we were underwhelmed. We have rented nicer properties in better locations, sometimes featuring more amenities, for less.

  Some routine housecleaning items were overlooked. No house instructions/check out instructions to be found, and hot tub struggled to keep temp. I was told I should have texted for instructions.

  The number of bedrooms in this house warrants a full-size coffee maker.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Erica, we want our guests to rest easy when they stay with us, and we apologize you experienced some issues during your trip. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  -A septic inspection is scheduled, and a plumber has already cleared the drains to address the slow-draining shower you noted.
  -The steps and deadbolts will be inspected and secured to ensure safety throughout the property.
  -The hot tub’s temperature settings can sometimes be tricky. We wish you had reached out to the Guest Contact during your stay if there were any issues you needed addressed. We would have done everything we could to resolve them immediately so that you could enjoy the home and hot tub.
  -We currently offer a Keurig machine with coffee pods, but we will keep your suggestion for a full-size coffee maker in mind.
  -Check-in and check-out instructions are included in the pre-stay email sent by Evolve.
  We do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests. Thanks for taking the time to leave your review.

• Peaceful and Lovely

  Great location and friendly, helpful host. It was a quiet and peaceful stay. We caught several fish from the river and spent most of our time enjoying the outdoors, as the property provided so many options to do so. My family and I will be back!
