Reviews

• Great stay and location

  5/5

  Very great location (to both the quaint downtown of Front Royal to the Shenandoah national park. the house had everything we needed for our 4-night stay (and we did a lot of cooking in the house too). Also, a walk away from the river and trails. Great stay, correspondence, and value!

• Just okay

  3/5

  We choose this house because it was close to the Shenandoah River State Park. And the size was perfect for my husband and I and it was pet friendly.As we were unloading our groceries we discovered the freezer door handle was broken. As I started preparing dinner I discovered the oven was dirty. I sent a text message to Evolve and didn't receive a reply. I cleaned the oven and didn't use the freezer handle to open it.The furniture is uncomfortable and the pillows were too. My husband had to take a cold shower. Enough said!

• Gem of a house

  4/5

  This was a great place to stay as we traveled Skyline Drive-close to the entrance and also close to downtown Front Royal.

  House is small but comfortable-fenced yards great for our dog. Friendly neighborhood and 2 excellent parks for dog walking.Only improvement would be more seating in living room-maybe a small sectional.

• Clean, cute little house

  5/5

  The description and pictures of this house are very accurate. It was clean and one of the better houses we've stayed in, especially since it is pet-friendly. It is small, but it was perfect for just the two of us.

  The Downsides:

  1. As others mentioned, the sofa is not very comfortable.

  2. There are no TVs in the bedrooms.

  3. The steps are steep and the treads slope toward you some. I wouldn't wear socks and come down them and if you aren't used to stairs at all, be careful. I wouldn't feel comfortable with my 75+ parents using them.

  4. The only bathroom is upstairs.

  There are more Upsides than Down!

  1. Nice kitchen appliances. Plenty of plates, cups, silverware and cooking utensils.

  2. The entire property is fenced. The backyard is huge and separated from the front yard with a gate. My little dogs had a great time exploring the entire yard.

  3. The bedroom with the King bed was very roomy. Plenty of space for the suitcases. The bedroom with the Queen bed was smaller but sufficient.

  4. The house was clean. The beds were comfortable.

  5. There were a lot of things provided that most houses do not provide. Body wash, shampoo and conditioner dispenser in the shower. Hand soap in the bathroom. Hand soap and dish liquid in the kitchen. Toilet paper and paper towels. We had brought our own but it was nice in the event we had forgotten something.

  6. We aren't used to street parking, but the street was quiet, and we had no issues.

  7. The door lock with code was easy to use.
