Mtn-View Hilltop Hideaway w/ Deck in Show Low

Reviews

• Clean and nice home, extra external cameras

  4/5

  Nice and clean home that suited our needs for the long weekend. Nice view out the back, unfortunately it was warm, so the back patio got cooked in the afternoon sun (faces west). Visited in May and it had multiple AC units installed and looked reasonably permanently installed. One unit in the living area, one upstairs, and one in the bedroom.Only odd issue we found is we spotted two additional cameras not mentioned in the listing. They were outside the home, but one was in the trees in the front yard facing the front of the house, and one was in the back yard facing the deck. Both were up in the trees with a solar panel, so we couldn't inspect, but found it off putting slightly.

  Hi David, we’re so glad the home suited your needs and that you enjoyed the view! We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  - We use exterior-only cameras to help with property upkeep and safety, including monitoring recent patio construction work, snowfall, and wildlife activity. We’re sorry if their placement felt off-putting and have updated the listing so future guests know what to expect.
  - A/C units are installed for seasonal use since the local weather is typically cool, but they’re available to keep guests comfortable when temperatures rise.
  - We chose to keep the patio half covered so our family and guests can enjoy the beautiful night sky and get the full experience of being outdoors in the evening.
  - While we can’t control where the sunset falls, please know we’ve put a lot of thought and care into making this home a welcoming space for everyone who stays.
  Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback.

• Cabin stay

  5/5

  The air conditioning unit in the main family room area was amazing and made it much more comfortable than previous years. This was our fourth year to rent this cabin and we had a great time again and will be back for sure!!!!

• Beautiful cabin but hard to get to and no A/C

  3/5

  If you’re planning to spend some time relaxing and hanging out in the back patio, this is a beautiful cabin for that. But while the instructions on the fridge refer to portable air conditioners, there were none for our stay in June, and we would return to the cabin after a day out and about to find the indoor temp over 85 degrees. With the bedroom window open and fan running (no screen door on the patio, so couldn’t leave that open) it finally cooled down to 77 at about 3am. Plus there are lights strung up outside the bedroom window that do not turn off from any light switch we found. No sleep for the two nights we were there. To be fair, we were so busy with our activities we did not have time to contact Evolve or the manager about these issues. Also, While the map looks like the cabin is just off the main road, you actually have to take a few dirt roads, some of which are steep, to get there. Driving these “roads” at night is a bit of an adventure. If you’re looking for a cabin to hang out in all weekend, it’s a beautiful stay. But if you’re looking for a place to sleep after a busy day elsewhere enjoying the area, I’d continue looking. We will not be staying here again.
