Great little place. Host, Franklyn is amazing.

Our stay was fun. The house was in a questionable neighborhood.

Reached out to the rental host regarding this review and didn’t get a response, so posting here for guests. The kitchen was very poorly cleaned upon arrival, and was very disappointing- the microwave had a film of old liquid on the glass plate, all of the ceramic mugs (and I mean ALL; I checked to find clean ones for my family to use) had little bits of food still on them and/or a film of beverage caked on the interior bottom, clearly not washed. The refrigerator had many specks of dirt (dark specks..?) all over the glass shelves. This is absolutely unacceptable for a rental property. The refrigerator is something every single guest will be utilizing, and needs to be clean. We also had a lot of ants in the kitchen, invading everything on the counter. I made lemonade for my kids in a pitcher on the counter, and before I knew it had a string of ants to it. So for the remainder of the trip, we put all our food in the dirty refrigerator, which was upsetting. Upon checkout, I looked behind the furniture and under the beds to make sure the kids didn’t leave any books behind, and it was so dirty I cannot properly express it. So much dust, bits of leftover things, years and years of dust never cleaned. I was ashamed that I let my kids play on the floor. Note for future guests- There is no provided blow dryer. There is one little upstairs bathroom for all guests to share. The interior of the home is pretty dark; not as bright as pictured. The large couch is broken in the center; my toddler twisted her foot because of the gap in cushions/construction. NOT what I expected from the pictures. Also, do not stay here if you plan on cooking anything. We had to rewash all of the dishes before using; it would take some time to rewash the old pots and pans if you plan on making anything. Also, there is no grass in front of the home as pictured; it is all rock/gravel. And there are no extra blankets provided if it’s cold, just fyi for comfort-sake. Positives- The bedding was very nicely made and linens were available for each bedroom/guest, so I believe the housekeeping gal is doing a great job on that aspect! The front porch was a great place to spend time. The dining room is the centerpiece of the home, and helps offset the kitchen disappointment. Goslyn was wonderful to talk to pre-check-in and provided us with the lockbox code quickly. Overall, a humbling experience. We will not be renting from Evolve host properties again.

From the initial conversation, Mr. Franklyn was more than accommodating and warm. Upon arriving at the property, you are taken aback by the beauty which is not adequately represented via the online pictures. Once inside the property, you will be more than pleased with the appointments; from the furnishings to the beautiful decor. The spacious home has 5 full bedrooms, full living room, dining room, and kitchen, a 3rd fl. family room, and a beautiful garden. I am planning my next visit now!

Came to Reading for a concert. Perfect location to walk to the arena.

Great host!! Owner owns a local restaurant that I recommended you go to. Great atmosphere and Milkshakes! Thank you!!

Space was great and host very prompt with replies. The outdoor space looked great and with kids we certainly would consider this home for visits during good weather! Good off street parking.

House was spacious, very comfortable for our group of six. All the necessities were available to us. The house was very clean. The three star rating for cleanliness was reflective of an issue with ants in the kitchen and dining room.
