  1/5

  This property was a horror story. Do not trust the online photos on Booking.com or Evolve—what we experienced was an unsafe, infested, and completely unacceptable environment for any family.

  Infestation & Unsafe Sleeping: Spiders were everywhere—crawling inside the bathtub, basin, and across wall trim, with thick spiderwebs left hanging around the electrical panels. It is impossible to sleep safely or comfortably when pests are crawling around the room and bathing areas.

  Holes in Ceilings & Walls: Ceilings and walls are severely damaged, including a broken ceiling panel hanging wide open around an overhead light fixture that exposes raw interior framing and rafters, along with unfinished drywall patches and gaping holes near floor registers.

  Unanchored Safety Hazard: A massive, heavy wooden dresser mirror was left completely unanchored on top of a dresser, posing an immediate tip-over threat to anyone in the room.

  Missing Bed Frames: Despite listing photos showing full bed frames, mattresses were dumped directly on the carpeted floor, with cots set up in common areas.

  Pet Allergen & Dander Exposure: Despite an official "No Pets Allowed" rule, the unit was caked in dog hair, pine needles, and pet dander under furniture and on sofas, with dog beds left behind and doors heavily chewed/splintered by the owner's pets.

  Gross Insecurity & Unusable Amenities: The shower drain was clogged with hair and filth, while the electric kettle was crusted with thick, flaking mineral scale, making it unusable for drinking water. Loose extension cords were tangled across primary walkways.

  When reported, Evolve and Booking.com dismissed this terrifying experience as "minor cosmetic issues".

  Protect your family and stay far away from this dangerous property.

• Winter trip

  3/5

  The home was well equipped in kitchen and extra bedding and towels. Some bedrooms were not thoroughly clean. Plenty of board games, DVDs, some gaming and entertainment provided. That was a plus. There’s central heat only in bottom floor. Heats only master, living area, main restroom and kitchen. There’s another room in downstairs with extra firm mattress no heat. Upstairs there’s a wooden heat source that works great. But no wood provided and you need to keep on adding wood all day and through night or all bedrooms will be cold. Our trip weather was in 30s degrees in day. Cabin outdated i don’t mind as long as all is clean. My only recommendation is replacing Living room couches should be replaced. You sit on with an old fabric smell. No trash containers on property the garbage containers are around the block. I would assume because of wildlife. Overall cabin had all we were looking for. They did have fans in most all bedrooms when you visit in summer time.

  We really loved the cabin, all of us were able to sleep in our own rooms and there was plenty of space to move around. Our friends really loved the gaming system! Only recommendation would be pack a blanket and maybe take a small heater for the upstairs rooms. There are stove heaters but the constant having to add wood to the fire was a little tough, and the heater would only heat the master bedroom and part of the living room area. Would also recommend taking curtains maybe. All bedrooms didn’t have curtains which was strange but also my fault because I didn’t ask if there was supposed to be any but then again I would assume there would be. But even then none of that bothered us. We all had an overall amazing experience and can’t wait to plan our next trip!

  This was a perfect place for our family to reconnect! We were even gifted a beautiful snow! We would love to come back again! There is plenty of room, the kitchen table was so nice to have everyone around!
