Visited end of June. Bugs were not bad. Community unpopulated b/c early in the vacation season. House itself exceeded expectations. Specific notes below- Pros: Spacious and clean. Open living area and screen porch great. The master bathroom is great-- incl. heated tile floor. All beds comfortable.Location is well situated to take advantage of various community amenities. House is on the lake and they provided 2 kayaks and enough life preservers. The air hockey table and Pacman video game work. The next door neighbors were nice folks. The community pools were a comfortable temperature and salt water. Cons: I was almost over charged 150 for the community fees. The propane grill is nice, but two of the burners do not work. The cutting knives are dull, so bring your own for cutting meats and bread/bagels. TV remotes were placed in the wrong rooms, so we had to work out which one went in which room. The lake water is murky, which deterred us (and those we observed) from swimming. The lake seems more a place for using kayaks, paddle boards and canoes. We had a mixed experience with the swimming pool staff. Some were great, but some seemed bored and overly ready to apply the draconian rules that are common to most public pools. I had one instance when I was with two of my children at the lap swimming pool (Choctaw) and the lifeguard yells from the other end of the pool, 'Don't hang on the handles of the swimming blocks!... Just don't touch those!' Community game room is small.

Clean House, Pretty Dock… But the Rest Was a Comedy of ErrorsThe house itself was very clean and beautiful, and the dock was amazing — peaceful, scenic, everything you’d hope for. Unfortunately, the experience with Evolve and the property manager was far less relaxing.First, we were nearly overcharged a 30 “extra” transaction fee until I pointed out it should’ve been 20. Then came the check-in scavenger hunt — the instructions sent us to an offsite location that didn’t exist. After calling, I learned there was a different email with updated instructions.When we finally got in, the house was a brisk 53 degrees. The fireplaces (inside, sunroom, and outdoor fire pit) didn’t work, and despite two emails and a voicemail, we didn't get an answer until the 3rd day. When the manager finally called back, she sounded annoyed and couldn’t offer solutions — apparently, the fire pit was unplugged because a previous guest left it on.Other oddities: no welcome kit (despite being mentioned), confusing instructions (like a sign telling us to “turn off the breakers before leaving” — wait, what?), and no on-site guide for how things actually worked.All in all, the property itself was nice — clean, peaceful, and well-situated — but the management experience made it feel like we were on an escape room challenge we didn’t sign up for.Would I rent again? Sadly, no. With better communication, clear instructions, and just a little more hospitality, this could’ve been a five-star stay.

We had a great stay - we only wish we could have stayed longer! The house is beautiful and well maintained, and the location on the water was ideal. As with any vacation rental, we had to make a quick run for some basic items, but the kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils. Would definitely stay again!

Loved it!

This house exceeded expectations! It is very pretty, extremely clean, very well equipped, with lots of room for everyone. There were 6 of us and we never felt crowded. The kitchen had every appliance, cookware and utensil we could possibly need, and the grill is amazing, unlike many other rentals we've had. The location and the view are perfect. We will definitely come back!

A wonderful weekend getaway. We loved the house , lake and the great outdoors there. Didn’t appreciate finding bath towels and other towels and rags inside cloth dryer though. There were no instructions given on operating the two fire places and a couple of the ceiling fans were inoperable. Other than that we had a very nice stay.

It was a beautiful house, amazing location, excellent amenities, easy check in and check out process! There were a few things that could have been better, like... not having to put sheets and pillowcases on our selves, the lawn needs to be cut (we had to play cornhole in the driveway because grass was overgrown), and better communication with the property manager from their webite and email (I sent registration by email to the manager's email address provided, directly on the property management website, and by text. Unfortunately text was the only way i got a hold of someone) All and all it was a wonderful family vacation spot, i would book it again in a heartbeat!

There was a dispute about the payment between Evolve and VRBO. the door lock did not work to get in (dead batteries), the home was at 55 degrees, fireplaces did not light, Driveway barely plowed, limited toilet paper, t-stat set back to 55 at night, Ice in freezer was really old and just a block of ice, could not stream to the TVs. Very disappointed. And to top it off the lid on the mater bedroom toilet would not stay up
