We thought this Mountain Lighthouse was very cozy and fun. Stay was just what we expected. We had a great time here.
For starters, I am not sure who is at fault for the cons between the owners and the Evolve managers. Overall I had a great vacation and a lovely time at the home. It was a great place for two people. Had the cons not been a factor I would definitely stay again! The cons are not meant to be rude, but just some critiques.Pros:-Great communication anytime I had a question-Loved the concept of the house-Great Location-Affordable-Gas appliances-Easy check-in/check-out instructions-Fire pit with picnic tableCons:-Was given inaccurate check-in instructions so had to call the contact number at 11 PM for the correct door code. -Dirty (Upon arrival we found a lot of dead bugs on the kitchen floor, I killed multiple spiders in the kitchen sink and window area. There were also spiderwebs in the corners of the shower and bedroom, and there was dog hair/dirt on the bedspread and sheets before our dog was even upstairs. -No A/C (a big deal in the summer because the ceiling fan does not help cool down the house.) A spare box fan was upstairs for us to use, but still did not do much, and cooking with a gas oven made it even hotter.-The yard was overgrown and made walking the dog around the property at night and early morning very difficult, in addition, the dog kennel on the property looked unsanitary.-Had no hot water the first night, wasn't aware the water heater had been turned off and had to locate it. -The fire pit was not very useful due to the overgrown weeds.
