I planned to rent the house as place to have dinner with my family for my dads 60th birthday. Unfortunately COVID got in the way of all that. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the house and made the most of it. Spacious and everything we could have asked for. The owner and manager were kind and prompt with their responses (nothing went wrong). Would LOVE to stay here again. The view over the lake was amazing 🙌🏼

The views are gorgeous. The layout of the house is great, especially if you have different couples. The issue is upkeep. I paid premium pricing for this stay and was disappointed. If it had been mid-tier, I would have said this is par for the course. The circuit breakers popped every hour we watched tv in the main living room which was a pain with kids and during the World Series and also popped multiple times upstairs in one of the bedrooms, all kitchen sinks leaked or drained slow, landscaping was not maintained, and the property manager did not run the water before we checked in so there was a sulfur smell until we turned on all faucets for 45 mins. The washer worked but the dryer was broken and the only working dryer was in the basement which was off limits. Also while the home was tidy it could use better cleaning of beetles, spiders, ticks etc. We live on a wooded lot and know the difference between random bugs and lack of thorough cleaning. Bugs were in every room. The owners asked us if we wanted an electrician and a plumber to come by but 1) I kinda feel that not my job to have service people traipsing in on our vacation when we paid a premium price and 2) with small children and us being there three only days, we were not comfortable with that.

This house is absolutely beautiful! Clean and well supplied! The furnishings with all their details were gorgeous. The lake view is spectacular. The communication with the owner and property manager were the best I have had with a Vrbo rental. Thank you for a wonderful get away.

We rented this home 3 years ago and had to cancel it twice due to Covid. Our family still wanted to spend our vacation there, due to its unique location, and so we did. This home is quite beautiful - built the way homes should be: with style and substance, and the location is pastoral, with great views of Lake Champlain. It is quiet on S. Hero Island. The furnishings are just as interesting as the house - aesthetically, this home is a “home-run” in my opinion. That being said, we had some surprises both before we arrived and when we arrived. Before we arrived, there was a breakdown in communications as to how we would get inside this house. There is a registration process for this owners’ insurance coverage, that we never were able to complete. Fortunately, I began the process earlier than necessary, as communicating with the owner, who is very, very busy, was difficult. We did finally get the code to the keyless entry the day before we left Ohio. I received the entry code from the owner after I contacted Evolve. This might not seem like a big deal, but we lost a lot of confidence in this owner when he did not follow-through as he said he would. When we arrived at the house, we found that the air conditioning units in the house were portable stand alone units in each bedroom as well as a through the wall unit in the dining room. The dining room A/c was fine. The bedrooms however, are vented through the bedroom windows. They are loud, and you must turn them off and close the window when it rains. This was disappointing in the upstairs bedrooms especially when it rained - As for the plumbing, the drains were slow in the kitchen, there was a strange odor in the Jack and Jill bathroom and there was an airlock in the waterlines. Nothing too earth shattering here, but these are maintenance issues that should be dealt with before guests arrive. There are a couple of safety issues: no railing down the basement steps, the end of the boat dock is unstable.

Beautiful views, great location! I didn’t like the additional check in requirements from the Evolve Team. Didn’t receive my access code and was scrambling at the last minute to get in. I would have given 5 stars for cleanliness if not for all the flies and spiders we had to kill.

Had some rainy weather but house was Awesome. We found all we needed in restaurants grocery and beverages within 8 miles on the islands. The multiple sitting areas were all used as we gathered or puzzled or read. Highly recommended for view and comfort

Our multi generation group loved every aspect of this home. The setting, amenities and convenience were perfect. The kitchen was well stocked with every possible cooking implement, and the grounds were perfect for spending time outdoors. The caretaker was so accommodating and concerned about our comfort. I would definitely recommend this property!
