Never Again

The property itself was in good condition BUT: I emailed Evolve property contact before visit and never heard back. If you have little kids there are no railings on the wrap around porch and no door on the basement access to kitchen-accidents waiting to happen. The biggest issue was the outside surveillance which was NOT disclosed on property profile which violated VRBO's policy: "Location and coverage of devices must be disclosed on the property description page for. It's not enough to include a photo of the device". Property sleeps 6 and 2 dogs. It was the two of us retirees and our dog. A brother his wife and friend dropped by for a couple days to cheer on my husband for an Iron Man race and the property owner called and texted us that "she wasn't running a hotel". We never had more than 5 people on property at any time. Brother stayed in RV in driveway - which was ok per property profile so I have no idea what her problem was? She mentioned she barely makes $100 per day on property and talked about electricity and water consumption- she needs to find a different income stream I think. We are in our 70's and don't need to be harassed by a property owner. I've saved the texts and emails for future reference. We made sure to take photos of the property after we moved out as a precaution and we never felt the need to do that before. It's a shame because the Frankfort MI area is beautiful, but we won't be back

Amazing home!!

We had such an amazing time at this property! If you are looking to get away and enjoy much needed quiet this is the perfect place! We ended up not bringing our dogs with us but it would have been great for them as well! We would stay here again!

It was our week away in the Fall for Fish Camp

This place was perfect for our week away. It was very clean, a beautiful setting, got to do some fishing right outside the house. Would definitely rent again!

very nice home

This was very nice. However, we could not use the basement to sleep in because it was too cold and musty smelling. The blankets in the basement needed to be washed also, had a strange smell

Perfect up-north getaway!

We absolutely loved it here! It was incredibly clean and welcoming - the perfect up-north cottage! Loved the decor and there were a lot of nice touches and amenities for guests. The property was beautiful! My kids loved playing in the river and hanging by the campfire. It’s an easy drive to the dunes, Lake Michigan, and Traverse City. We wished we would have booked a longer stay and would definitely return.

Fantastic!

The house and property were great. For anyone bringing a dog, this house was set up great with an outdoor small dog run/enclosure. The creek on the property was a great place to take in.

Great for fishing!

Clean, spacious, pretty view. Amenities were great, except TV did not work. It wasn't that we didn't know how to turn it on, it was broken. It was plugged directly into the wall, not into a power strip/surge protector and probably got fried by lightning at some point, it needs to be replaced. It rained most of our trip so having it would've been nice mostly for the evenings as we were fishing during the day. Nice big yard, great access to the river. Spacious garage, great for hanging waders and drying out gear. Comfortable beds. Great place overall.

River Living

The house and property were nice. Access to the Betsie River in the backyard. The house was spacious and clean. The check-in process was more difficult than necessary. The check-in email did not provide a code to the lockbox with the key in it. The "Local Host" did not provide the code or respond to our calls, emails, or texts. We did, eventually, find the back door unlocked. We were able to enter, but then had to leave the house unlocked while we were out. We did eventually hear from the host and get the code. However I'm not sure why the code wasn't just provided in the check-in email. We were busy on the trip and didn't have much time to watch TV, which is a good thing because I could not get it to turn on. I didn't spend much time on it, so maybe I could've figured it out, but it wasn't simple. Other than those two items the house met our needs.

Thompsanville cabin

Home was very nice and comfortable. There were a few things that could of been added and done. We felt there should of been propane tank provided for grill or been told to us to bring one. Bushes could of been maintained a little better by steps. Other than those two things very peaceful setting and very clean. Kitchen was very well stocked when all the necessary pots and pans. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider staying again.

Close to Crystal

It was a clean and cozy getaway place. The view from the living room was awesome and included Betsy river and access to it. A Pingpong table was great for my teens and husband to unwind in the end of the day. Bring your fishing poles if the season is right to fish.
