Stayed 13 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Ann W. 7 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### June 27, 2024 The property was clean, but we felt that it was cleaned possibly a week before our arrival and could have used a refresh. We would have liked to use the grill but it was not clean for immediate use and we had to make other plans for dinner. The only other downside to the stay was the mattress(s) in the 4th bedroom with the bunk beds. Both were very thin and uncomfortable. The guest ended up sleeping on the couch. ##### Ann W. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Kris G. 13 Jul 2023 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Communication, location, listing accuracy #### Not what the ad describes The house is across the street from a dump of a house. The fire pit is one of those small metal pits from Walmart. No AC, which wasn’t too bad because it was a little chilly and we didn’t use the house much. The bunk beds make so much noise you can’t sleep at all. They are the cheap metal ones you can get for $100. The kitchen table was big and we were able to fit everyone which was nice. All in all, I would not recommend this house. I also wouldn’t rent from Evolve, ever. Basically the ad is technically true but highly embellished. ##### Kris G.

Issue with some flooring coming up that was a trip hazard for some elderly family staying with us. ##### Angela B.

Location is easy and close to Charlevoix. House was very clean and comfortable. Living room has the great sectional for lounging. Dining table was large enough for Card playing and jigsaw puzzle. Really enjoyed the house. Since we were there in fall we did not need A/C but if it were warm the house had ceiling fans and portable fans in every room which would help. Able to put one car in garage at night too. Definitely would rent again. ##### Connie C.

It was perfect for us (seniors and children). The interior is very clean and updated with a nice open space for dining and lounging. The kitchen has great supplies for making meals at home. It is a short walk to Lake Charlevoix in a very quiet neighborhood, and we were excited to find the public beach which is dog friendly. Hosts were very kind and super responsive. Highly recommend this property for a quiet neighborhood on Lake Charlevoix. ##### Heather K.
