Our stay was a disaster. On the first night, we discovered a serious gas leak, requiring us to call the fire department. After hours of dealing with the issue, they shut off the gas and confirmed that the water heater needed inspection. The following morning, the heater malfunctioned again, and we had to shut off the main gas entirely as per the fire department, leaving us without hot water, heat, or the ability to cook for the rest of our stay. The property manager was dismissive and unhelpful. He downplayed the gas leak, telling us to leave a door open and let it dissipate. Only after we pressed him did he suggest calling the fire department; that was the last we heard from him. In addition to safety hazards, the property was filthy: stained sheets, broken faucets, musty smells, no window screens, and unreliable internet. We tried finding alternative accommodations, but the rural location left us no options nearby, forcing us to stay in unsafe and uncomfortable conditions. Stay away from this property until the safety issues and cleanliness are addressed. We’ve asked booking sites to remove the listing and provided the fire department’s report, a detailed affidavit, and photos. This property is unsafe and unfit for guests, and we hope our experience serves as a warning to others. Evolve reps did their best to help resolve the issue, but they were at the whim of the owner, who refused to take accountability. ##### Diem Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hyatt Place Chapel Hill / Southern Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chapel-Hill-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Chapel-Hill-Southern-Village.h16543920.Hotel-Information) > > [Scandinavian Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sister-Bay-Hotels-Scandinavian-Lodge.h16603450.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Outer Banks/Kitty Hawk](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kitty-Hawk-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Outer-BanksKitty-Hawk.h1445722.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Salisbury by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salisbury-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Salisbury.h14769213.Hotel-Information) > > [Asheville-Million Dollar Views, Hot Tub, Theatre Room, Billiards, Sleeps 16](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Asheville-Hotels-Asheville-Million-Dollar-Views.h33570667.Hotel-Information) > > [Grafton Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Asheville-Hotels-Grafton-Lodge.h10489636.Hotel-Information) > > [Aspen Select](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Aspen-Select.h12245240.Hotel-Information) > > [The Beacon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Morehead-City-Hotels-Salter-Path-Inn.h10655047.Hotel-Information) > > [Tesla MedBed Center, East Dubuque](https://www.expedia.co.uk/East-Dubuque-Hotels-Tesla-MedBed-Center.h1076011.Hotel-Information) > > [Baymont by Wyndham Mishawaka South Bend Area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Bend-Hotels-Baymont-By-Wyndham-Mishawaka-South-Bend-Area.h1976.Hotel-Information) > > [Trailborn Surf and Sound, Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wilmington-Hotels-Blockade-Runner-Beach-Resort.h15691.Hotel-Information) > > [Riverside Log Cabins](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Boone-Hotels-Riverside-Log-Cabins.h22870419.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrah's Cherokee – A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cherokee-Hotels-Harrahs-Cherokee-Casino-Resort.h13319510.Hotel-Information) > > [J House Greenwich](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stamford-Hotels-J-House-Greenwich.h8392.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge by Wyndham Winchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Winchester.h9600.Hotel-Information) > > [Folkestone Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cherokee-Hotels-Folkestone-Inn.h1551198.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn and Suites by Wyndham Oxford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Henderson-Hotels-Days-Inn-And-Suites-By-Wyndham-Oxford.h15792345.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Plymouth by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Plymouth-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Plymouth.h662090.Hotel-Information) > > [American Motel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hickory-Hotels-American-Motel.h15676263.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Southport - Oak Island Area by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolivia-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Southport-Oak-Island-Area.h8282528.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Hope Mills-Fayetteville Arpt by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fayetteville-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hotel-Suites-Hope-Mills.h2463264.Hotel-Information) > > [Lighthouse View Oceanfront Lodging](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Buxton-Hotels-Lighthouse-View-Oceanfront-Lodging.h13278801.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Price by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Price-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Price.h9253345.Hotel-Information) > > [Relaxing, Cozy, Beautiful 3 BR Log Cabin in Blowing Rock/Boone NC](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Boone-Hotels-Relaxing.h33311517.Hotel-Information) > > [The View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kayenta-Hotels-The-View-Hotel.h59418009.Hotel-Information) > > [A View for Two: Tiny House with BIG VIEWS](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fleetwood-Hotels-A-View-For-Two-Tiny-House-With-BIG-Views.h46979075.Hotel-Information) > > [LOG CABIN + MOUNTAIN VIEWS!
