We found the place to be dirty, even found half empty water bottles in the couch cushions. The bed spread in primary room looked like it had not been washed in quite some time. The kitchen was very poorly stocked. The crockpor was cracked and lid broken. It is a cute place but needs some TLC

Cozy and Close to Resort

We spent Easter weekend in this adorable cabin and had the most wonderful stay, seeing 2 feet of snow fall all around us. The cabin is conveniently close to town and resorts, and surrounded by friendly neighbors. We baked cookies, played games, watched movies from Maria’s broad library of DVD’s, and kept warm infront of the fireplace. Had a wonderful time, definitely would come back!

Cozy and cute

The cabin looks exactly like in the photos. The check in process was not as I expected but once I texted Lisa the property manager everything went smoothly. The owner is super attentive. We relayed some issues we found when we first got there and the owner went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable.The cabin was perfect for our needs we would definitely stay here again.

New Year 2024

Great location, quiet neighborhood. Walking distance to Moonridge parking (lot 4) and the Alpine Zoo (5min walk). Cabin had all the cooking amenities. Lots of extra blankets to keep warm. The big wall clock needs batteries. The 2 puck lights above the stove do not work, it was hard to see what you are cooking. Great enclosed space in the backyard for dogs.

I booked this cabin based on the amazing photos on the site. Turns out it’s like online dating when the person puts up a profile picture that is highly filtered to make them look much better than they actually look. I also should have taken note that there was only one review. The cabin was cute and quaint upon first walk around but after we settled in we realized how dirty it was. It looked like the carpets had not been vacuumed recently, the hardwood floors were dirty and stained in places with what looked to be dog pee. It is a pet friendly rental so if you have allergies, beware. I let the host know that the floors were very dirty and there was a lot of debris and hair. She sent the cleaner over to vacuum and mop for us. This was appreciated but also super frustrating considering the cleaning fee is $160! Not to mention the cleaning they require the guests to do (wash & put away all dishes, take trash out, strip all beds). Also the bath mats were filthy, old and matted and super gross. Like they’d never been washed. For what they charge for this place, they need to invest in some new linens and bedding. When I booked it, again, based on the photos, I didn’t really pay attention to the fees. The rate was $185/night but with all the fees it was over $300/night. I still booked because the photos made it look amazing. The cabin has some essentials as far as the kitchen goes but you’re best to bring anything you think you might need. The trash bags provided were dollar store thin so I’d suggest bringing your own. Once we settled in, we opened the doors to get some fresh air. I started to smell cigarette smoke and thought maybe someone outside was smoking. Much to our dismay, the smell got stronger as the day went on, even when we shut the doors. Neither of us smoke and in fact it’s one of the smells that I cannot stand. The cabin says it’s a non smoking cabin but my sensitive nostrils could smell nothing but that cigarette smell the whole time we were there. It made my throat and chest hurt. Needless to say, we couldn’t wait to check out. We felt dirty when we left. Even the blankets on the beds seemed dirty. (Again, maybe just old and stained and need to be replaced). We left the place much cleaner than we found it. Overall it would have been fine if we were just using it to sleep but we actually hung out there and the longer we were there the more disappointed we were. Especially considering we paid over $300/night.

The house was great

Charming, comfortable and pet friendly, The management was rude and did not comprehend my concerns and kept calling me hun before she rudely hung up on me. The property owner Maria called me and she was very nice and smoothed things out that the management couldn't. I would stay there again if I could deal directly with the owner. I am not comfortable with the management company they were very unprofessional.

Mel’s Cabin

My stay was HORRIBLE DO NOT RENT this property. The place was filthy dirty. I was also assured that the driveway was Plowed so that we can park on there driveway, this was not done. Instead the property manager dropped off a plastic shovel and said they can’t get it Plowed. She(Maria) told us that our truck will be fine. Following morning we go to leave and we were stuck. I had to pay for my own tow and could not return without getting stuck again. Thanks to them my family Christmas plans with my daughter was ruined. Thank you Evolve for charging me over $300 a night and refusing to refund me when we were forced to leave . Evolve agreed to refund me $50.00 for the filthy house .
