Great view, bad management
This place has a lot of potential to be an incredible vacation stay. However, there are glaring negatives that need to be addressed by management before renting:
The good:
-Incredible view was absolutely breathtaking. We spent hours watching the sunset each night.
-Close proximity to the lake
The bad:
-We tried going in the jacuzzi the second night only to see yellowish brown water that reeked of sewage. Water level easily a foot too low. Likely hasn't been cleaned in months, but was listed as usable. No mention from Evolve. This is false advertisement.
-Cleaning was poor. Dead fly in the living room floor, streaks of brown in the living room, makeup stains on hand towels, cigarette butt on the deck, dirty bath mats, trash on the floor, etc. Interesting that the cleaning fee is almost 200, but cabin is not clean. Hand soap was depleted and watered down. You also need to strip linens yourself, which feels bad given the high cleaning fee.
-Evolve emailed a few days before saying AC unit was out, on the hottest weekend of the year. Not only was it functional, but windows were left open on the top floor with the AC blasting when we arrived. Such terrible property management. AC left on had mildew smell and needs servicing ASAP.
-Overall the furniture is cheap and what you would expect from your first college apartment. The "futon" in the living room is just a couch that will fall over if you shift your weight ever so slightly. Just why?
-Good luck dicephering the shower water temperature puzzle.
Overall, do not be bamboozled by the amazing photos. The thin vaneer of style and class is hiding poor management, budget furnishings, and lack of attention to detail that you would expect at this price point. We would love to see this place shine with these issues fixed in the future.
