beautiful view on sunset lake
This property has potential to be something very special. when you enter the wall of slinging doors takes your breath away, however the dirty finger and hand prints on glass was disturbing. The mattress on beds were squeaky and hard as a rock. also no pillowcases, stains on thin cheap duvets. The deck furniture was also cheap , uncomfortable, worn. The lights had spider webs, and smell of dead mouse in downstairs. With the cleaning fee of $350, you would expect it to be clean and fresh.

Lake house
Location and views were great. The house was not clean - homeowner had shoes and paint cans in pantry. Two of the patio umbrellas were broken and water pressure was poor at best.

Nice family stay
The house was very comfortable and well equipped. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook and more! The grill worked well too. The view of the lake was wonderful, and having the kayaks a bonus. It would be nice to have a shore access to the lake, but the spot at Sunset Lake is very close by. Everyone was happy to swim at both places. We enjoyed the house very much, and found things as described. The only slight negatives are the road leading in and the access to the dock. Although every effort was made for safety of small children, the stairs leading to the dock are a little scary, as the hand rails have large open spaces. It was a big reach for our petite four year old to reach the rail, and with nothing under the rail, hard to feel secure. Overall, we had a wonderful time!

WARNING DANGEROUS ROAD NOT AS ADVERTISED!
I booked this property months in advance and was never told until the day of arrival that the property has a 2 mile, narrow single lane, dirt road, obstructed by trees, feet off of a lake, up a steep cliff that you need a 4wheel drive vehicle for and you should only come and go during daylight. None of this is on the VRBO listing! I called and emailed several times in the days before arrival to get the entry instructions with no response from the owner. After calling Evolve on the arrival day, another management company in the instructions, I was able to get the entry code via text from the property caretaker but no other details. He texted me the owner was in India and very hard to reach. I finally got the email from the owner while I was on the 6 hour drive there and arriving at 8:30pm. DRIVING IN WAS TERRIFYING ! We booked the weekend for my son's college graduation nearby. We walked out immediately and didn't stay at all because of how dangerous the road was and the graduation had events at night. Now I'm getting a run around from Evovle, VRBO and the owner for a refund. We had to scramble to find hotel rooms in 3 different hotels at ridiculous prices because it was Memorial Day weekend and graduation. NOT FAIR. Evolve is horrible and enabling the owners to scam potetional renters with hidden details. A ROAD THIS DANGEROUS SHOULD BE DISCLOSED IN THE DESCRIPTION BEFORE YOU RENT IT.

Orwell Cabin
I stayed at this property for a girls weekend with family. While the property was tidy when we arrived, it was certainly not clean. I was disappointed by the amount of dirt, dust and debris in a home with a very hefty cleaning fee. The check-in procedures were easy enough and the host was responsive to my questions. There weren't any extra blankets and it was chilly in early spring. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans to be able to cook but was missing a dishrack. Overall the property and the setting was beautiful and I know that there is no perfect rental, but I felt like the attention to detail in the home was lacking.

Beautiful and quiet view but the house could improve
Let me start by saying the location on the lake and having private dock access with kayaks were wonderful. That being said, the house itself was not the most clean. Upon arrival the owner was at the property still trying to clean up (45 mins past our check in time) and left his toothbrush at the kitchen sink. In addition, the water pressure was extremely low so only one person could shower at a time (there was 7 of us in total), and the sinks would often leak during our stay. We were told we couldn’t lean on the living room couch because it would break and the curtain rods on the main floor overlooking the lake would often fall if you tried to open them. The house looks great inside but you can tell the everything was made cheaply. This shouldn’t deter you from booking as long as you know what you’re getting into! We wish we knew more about the water pressure situation and overall cleanliness (my mom cleaned the whole house once we got there) which isn’t acceptable in my books but regardless our family had a blast.

Our family enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cabin on private Sunrise lake. We enjoyed floating on rafts, kayaking, dinners on the deck, and sitting around the fire pit at night. Three bedrooms with queen beds, and one bunk room accommodated our large family well. The host was very responsive when we had questions even on the Fourth of July!

Perfect for a group gathering
A weekend away at this property was just wonderful. Right on the lake, plenty of kayaks to get in the water, beautiful porch, and plenty of room to cook. Although there's limited cell phone service you won't regret booking this property. Even with rain all weekend we were able to pop up the umbrellas on the porch and enjoy every second

What a great getaway with kayaks and a fire pit was lovely
Everything was great easy to check in and out the beds were not the best but idk what people would expect and the one down side was the dishwasher wasn't draining so we had to wash our own dishes again not a big deal and the owner sent a email to me the 1st night letting us know but we already figured that out over a real nice spot

Great time
The property is a beautiful setting on a lake. Kayaks and dock area was great for the kids. Fire pit, grill and deck with a lot of seating available. However, the indoor and outdoor seating is very small scale and not comfortable for lounging. Additionally, the beds are set very low to the ground and could be difficult to get in and out of, for some. Overall we still had a great time.

Okay
Stayed for a week during July 2020. Nice location but too many issues to ever come back. 1. Not very clean - Inside oven dirty, some bed linens had various stains, garbage cans overflowing at arrival, all boats provided are dirty and with water. 2. 3 out of 4 sliding doors cannot open. takes away from deck as you had to go around through front door. 3. Holes in lower level flooring covered with rough cut plywood throughout. Do not walk barefoot ! Point 2&3 were not disclosed at the time of booking. 4. Water pressure is horrible. If taking shower, if someone else turns on any faucet, shower turns into a trickle of water. 5. tough downhill stairs to lake; no area to sit by lakefront (this was disclosed) 6. Cell reception is non existent and wi-fi and TV is horribly slow and choppy. Too bad for the many above issues, as the house is nice and the lake is quiet, great deck view, easy parking. For the nightly rate however, the house and outside should be clean, the many sliding doors in the house should operate and there should be no holes in the flooring covered with rough cut plywood pieces. Too high of a rate for so many issues we encountered.

Great house at a great place
The place is fantastic, everything in house is new and clean, plenty of beds, kitchen is fully equipped; spacious parking. The location is also great: house is located right on the lake, so beautiful sunrises and sunsets are included. If you're renting it in winter, walk 5 minutes down the road to the ice waterfall, it's impressive. Also, snow wasn't that much of an issue - we had a snowfall but the snow was removed from the roads in several hours.
