Nephews wedding
The house was perfect. My sister, brother, niece, nephews and myself stayed. My nephew got married at Bentwinds. It was a perfect weekend with my family. Everything was close and convenient. We had plenty of room and the house had everything we needed. The host handle the hot water issue right away, which was greatly appreciated. We enjoyed having a fire in the fire pit and coffee in the back.
My family lives in Fuquay so if we all need a place to stay, we will defiantly return. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Visit with the grand kids
Plenty of space for the grands to play outside and not to be on top of everyone in the house. The Gentrys were available at all times for any questions and to resolve any issues, which was not often. Close to town and shopping and dinning.

Disappointing & Misleading
From the moment we arrived, we were disappointed. We showed up to find abandoned trucks parked among trash bags in the back yard. The front door was unlocked (discovered that the key does not work in the lock), and a gurgling sound was coming from the kitchen sink. The cozy-looking den area and beautiful office space pictured on the Evolve website was not to be found. Instead, it was different furniture, no curtains, almost bare walls...a very cold feel. There was no firewood for the wood stove or the outdoor fire pit (the host did bring us some promptly though). Debris was all over the yard, from an old tractor tire to a rusted lawn mower tied to a tree. The dilapidated swing set and run-down basketball goal should be removed. Inside, the pantry and closets were filled with clutter (even loose legos in the kitchen pantry), and the condiments were expired. There was not a hand towel to be found, only minimal mismatched, frayed & stained bath towels and washcloths. For a property with so much promise, so little effort has been put into presenting this home as a nice rental home. Sub-par for sure. With some TLC it could be beautiful, but definitely leaves the feeling of uneasiness when staying there. This property absolutely did not deliver what is promised from the website...paid way too much.

Had a wonderful time
We loved the house. It needed a little maintenance and was not the same as the description/pictures but it was really nice. We enjoyed our stay. The shower in the master bath is definitely a major selling point. :)

House was good, could use a little light maintenance
This was a beautiful house that would be perfect for a bridal suite and doing wedding prep pictures. With only 2 full beds it isn't the best set up for a full bridal party or multiple families to stay, but it is absolutely gorgeous and easy to relax in. The beds and pillows were very comfortable, there is a great soaking tub in the master bath, and we found the heat and AC to work particularly well for such a large and older home. The owners did a great job remodeling, and the property manager was very responsive if I had questions.
Property was excellent in all ways. The property manager went out of the way for us during covid period.
Just two things to point out. First, AC was not working through whole house. Secondly, the parking situation wasn't great for us because we had boats on top of trucks.
Very nice stay. Exactly what was pictured. Nice quiet area

Overall a C+
This property would be fine for folks who need a place to crash and aren't very picky. The house is pretty rough around the edges (cleanliness) but not the worst I've seen. The biggest thing was the heat. On arrival he heat was set on 60 degrees, I adjusted it to 68 but 2 hours later it had only made it to 64 degrees, 4 hours later it was 67 degrees. That was not good enough for my 86 year old mother. Eventually it was able to get it to 68 and hold it there but we ended up taking Mom to a hotel. The house has a lot of interesting features that some will find delightful (2 toilets in one bathroom!) and others will find frustrating and confusing, (the beds were set up with the long side up against the headboard, the light switches were baffling) We needed an extra chair for the only dinner table (only 4) and 2 of the bedrooms had no chairs. However, the master bathroom is spectacular! Overall I'd give the place a C+.
