My family rented this "cabin" for 4 days in June 2018. After driving 9 hours we were greeted by a bulldozer blocking our way, a metal girder leaning against the garage and the homeowners home, which blocks the view of the lake, and some sort of construction going on outside their home. The picnic area under the rental deck was dirty and very unappealing. The rental is not a cabin but a garage apartment and smelled of chemical pesticide. ( mothballs} We did not stay and were not refunded anything. We had to find somewhere else to stay.
Manager's Response:
Ann, we're sorry your experience visiting the cabin upon arrival wasn't what you expected. As we are receiving this review 7 months after your stay, we and the homeowner are surprised to see this feedback. We understand they sent their cleaning crew to address the smell you mentioned and they did not encounter such a smell. This cabin is routinely kept in immaculate condition, as evidenced by numerous positive reviews. This cabin did have construction going on behind the cabin. If there was something blocking the way, bulldozer, trash trucks, or any other equipment, it was not specific to this home. They did not have a bulldozer on the property. However, like any neighborhood, there are times when there is equipment in your neighborhood, which residents have no control over. The picnic area in the yard of the cabin may have been dirty because it is outside, but they do their best to keep it as clean as possible. If you had given this cabin a chance, we are confident you would have found it pleasant as it has hosted many satisfied guests! Best, the Evolve Team
