We arrived an hour after check-in and none of the beds had bedding. One bed had all of the dirty bedding piled on it from the previous guests. A pile of dirty towels were on the bathroom floor. The pullout couch was still open. The place was dirty. We called the # provided for guest services and never did hear back from them. Contacted VRBO, they passed us on to Evolve. We were told the property would be cleaned and ready in two hours. We came back 3 hours later and no one had been there, nothing had changed. At 7:30 pm we had to find a hotel in a popular tourist town. We finally found something out on the Hwy. which was not where we were wanted to be located.

It’s a cute little place, about a block from the river park and about a block from shopping. Looks a little rough on the outside but it’s nice on the inside.

The cabin was dirty when we arrived after a 16 hour drive and was not cleaned from the previous guests. The cleaning company came within the hour and cleaned it. I was Told this happens a lot. I could Not feed my kids, bathe them or put them to bed for 2 hours after arrival. The washer/dryer combination doesn’t work unless you run it for over 6 hours. The location downtown was great being walking distance away from everything. Overall the cabin was cozy

1st off the location is 10/10 & they had board games we enjoyed playing as a family. However, I’m not sure if the owner has dogs & stays when people aren’t renting or if someone is staying there that isn’t supposed to be staying there, but there’s dog hair everywhere. The listing says “no pets” & people might book this rental who are allergic to certain animals thinking they won’t be dealing with dog hair or cat hair… wrong!! Lol there’s also dog poop everywhere in the front yard & back yard. Yum! The toilet and bathtub leak so that’s fun. Make sure to lay a couple towels down under the tub to shower/bathe because the floor will flood. The microwave above the stove doesn’t work. I’m assuming that’s why they have a little blue microwave on the kitchen counter… it also sucks. We had to light the stove to get it to work. I called Jennifer (property manager) days before my arrival to ask her what it meant in the listing when it said “fully stocked pantry” seeing as how I’d be staying there with my immediate family over Thanksgiving. I informed her that I would be making a huge Thanksgiving meal & wanted to know the details of the kitchen. She said there’s no food there, but I would have everything I need to cook. I voiced my concerns about the negative reviews I read because I wasn’t smart & looked at the reviews AFTER I booked. She said we would love it, that it was clean, and I’d have everything I need to prepare a thanksgiving meal. LOL there were a number of skillets but only 1 cooking pot so I had to cook almost everything 1 by 1, & light the stove when I needed to use it which took many tries. I wish I would have brought my vacuum because the carpet in the living area is filthy. I doubt it’s ever been vacuumed seeing as how there isn’t a vacuum available. There was dog hair/cat hair in all the corners of the home & under all the tables/on carpet. I did bring cleaning spray/sponges/disinfectant wipes after reading the reviews & I’m glad I did. The tub needed scrubbed & I also found a used razor under the tub. Mmm yummy! The lights in the backyard didn’t work and that’s where we had to park. There’s no street lights in the alley in the backyard either. So if you want to be able to see at night I would ask them to replace the light bulb's. The bed in the bedroom is extremely uncomfortable. It’s a hard mattress with a foam topper but the foam topper is too small for the bed so it’s super uncomfortable to sleep on. No tv in the bedroom.

The home was clean and tidy when we entered. We quickly discovered that the shower was non-functional, with one of the components on the floor under the bath. We chose to fix this ourselves, as the property manager had not responded in a timely fashion to previous messages, prior to our arrival. The drawers in the kitchen fell out upon opening - they were not properly installed on the runners, so we also fixed this ourselves. The kitchen itself could use some attention: no scissors, no wine glasses, and no small saucepan to make soup. The worst offender was the back yard / driveway - overgrown with weeds and loose tree limbs, and covered in cigarette butts and trash. Overall, it was our view that the property manager could spend a little more time inspecting the property and fixing obvious issues.

Most awkward award goes to this place

The location is great, about 100 feet to Tres Litros brewing and a block from the river. The house is beyond weird. All of the men in our group were too tall to stand in the kitchen, the outside is overgrown and covered in dog poo, the house layout is crazy. The bedroom is actually a hallway with doors, you have to walk through the bedroom to go from the living area to the kitchen. The bathroom is off of the bedroom as well, so let's just call it what it is... a hallway. There is one window air conditioning unit in the middle living area and it is not functional to cool the entire space. The plug in fans didn't work and the property manager did nothing when I requested help and told her the fans were broken. It was blazing hot inside of this place. The bathroom has a sliding barn door (minimal privacy) with no lock, massive claw foot tub and a broken small window that looks straight into the hostel next door. Who should book this rental? People under 5'9" tall and like their rentals dark, hot and amazingly awkward to navigate.

The location and house was super cute however there were dirty dishes in the dishwasher and dirty sheets on the bed. I tried to call the person listed as in charge of the property and they didn't return my call. It would have been a lovely experience otherwise.
