Snowmobile trip

Great place to stay no issues. Everything worked as it should. The only issue is parking is extremely tight of your brain a trailer. It was very difficult to park our 28 foot snowmobile trailer. The rear area for parking does not allow for swing as it is off a very tight alley. I would definitely use this house again!

Great house to stay, poor service during winter weather

This is a great house to stay at! We have stayed here several times and love the house in every way. We did not love NOT having shoveling and plowing services done during 4 days of a winter weather storm weather blizzard. We called EVOLVE and spoke in detail about our situation as well as contacting the owner of this property (off site) on the first day the snow started falling. The owner didn't get back to us until the morning we were to check out when we were shoveling to get out. EVOLVE spoke with concern to help us get snow removal done so we could get in and out of the property. EVOLVE said they would call the owner, call me back AND email me with results. I never heard back from EVOLVE. The owner blamed it on the guest services person and EVOLVE. We had to shovel the driveway and entrance into and out of the house for 3 days. This included getting plowed in at the apron of the driveway after the street plows went by. Snow fell for 3 days in an area where Lake Superior effect storms play seriously upon transportation. We were very disappointed with the owner and EVOLVE. This could have been handled very differently had anyone acted with concern for their simple responsibilities as renters.

Beautiful and Clean

A very large house that looks small on the outside. Plenty of space and all the amenities walking distance to Lake Superior and town. One king, two full-sized, and a single bed and playpen. Attached bathroom downstairs is with the full-sized bed. Owner was welcoming and communicated well. Kitchen had everything we needed. Highly recommend.

Family visit Ontonagon

House was the perfect size for our needs. We had 2 families, a family of 1adult with 1child and family of 2adults with 2children. The house was very clean and had everything needed for the stay, minus food of course. The ping pong table was a nice bonus for the kids. Took 1 star off because the tub upstairs was leaking from the drain pipe. We let the owner know right away. She responded right away. We opted to not use that one and use the other 2 showers for the rest of the stay which was doable. Bathroom was usable just not the shower/ tub. Location was great also. You did feel safe and the beach, shops, and restaurants were right down the street. We would definitely stay there again.

This house was amazing. Basement even had full extra living room and ping pong table with ball and paddles! Great neighborhood. We walked to Syl's restaurant, the coffee shop, and to the beach. All just a 5 or 10 minute walk. Great stay for visiting the Porcupine Mountains. Would recommend.

Weekend Get Away

I was very pleased with the cleanliness of house. Everything was well kept. The upkeep and cleanliness made the home feel welcoming. I also enjoyed sleeping in a king size bed, many places do not offer king size beds. We wanted to do rock hunting and there were beaches close enough to offer that. Syl's restaurant has amazing food and was just blocks away and Connie's offers great coffee and lattes. I love old houses that are kept up and this is one of them. From the crown molding, to the oversized trim, wood floors, and the staircase railings were all in wonderful well kept condition which I enjoyed. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property.

house close to beach, clean, and comfortable.

It is a cute, clean house, close to where I was working. I have a problem with Evolve assessing an insurance damage fee as line-item cost on the bill. By the time I saw it, I had already submitted my request and would face a penalty for cancelling. I will not be using a VRBO with this company again.

Great location and nice home

Very clean and newer updates to an older home. Very short walk to the beach which was so beautiful. We didn’t pack a pack and play for our 2 year old, and although there was one at the property, it was a small one and she didn’t fit in that one comfortably. Would stay here again. There were 5 adults and 1 child in our party and the house fit all of us comfortably. There were 2 beach chairs and a small cooler which was nice to have for the beach. Also, the owners had a bad Minton set which we enjoyed. Thanks again for a great stay.

Quiet Neighborhood and Great Base location

We spent 3 nights at this location, using this Ontonagon home as our base for having our U.P. adventures. The neighborhood is quiet, the town is quiet which for us coming from a big city was a welcome relief. The beds were incredibly comfortable. Our intentions were to use the home to accomadate our food allergy son, and we found the kitchen was slightly lacking for what we needed it to be so while I can't call it perfect, the host was welcoming in communication before check in and at check out and it's location was perfect for our day trips hiking in the Porcupine Mountains and along Copper Harbor's beaches so it made up for it.

Awesome

Really nice big place. Rooms for all of us and we even had an extra room we didn't use. Fully stocked kitchen with everything we needed. Kids loved the basement amenities which gave us adults privacy upstairs. Blocks from Lake Superior and the main road through downtown, you can walk to both. A new one for us (3rd time in Ontonagon) a guy in a dogsled was sledding around through the city streets, awesome. I really was a little depressed when I had to leave.
