We rented the property for the week of Aug. 8-15, 2020. Property manger was reachable, helpful, and curteous. Location was conviniently close to beach, Boyne City, grocery shopping, ...etc. We all enjoyed the spectacular lake view from deck and house. That said, the house looks and feels too old, and needs a lot of necessary updtaes for a comfortable use by renters like us: - needs to have A/C instead of premititive window fans. - needs new curtains and window treatment instead of worn out shades that don't even work properly. - needs new carpeting/flooring across the house. -needs fresh coat of painting. - needs closets that acutually close. - Hot tub water must be changed, deep cleaned, and certified with each new rental, for proper health safety precautions. - Deck needs new patio furniture, fresh coat of paint/stain. - Bathrooms need new curtains, new floor rugs, new windows/window treatment,....etc. - needs new windows, door walls, and window treatment. - handle of entrance door screen was broken and made difficult to get in. - pest protection must be addressed; we found a freshly dead mouse on deck near entrance on departure day. In all honesty, I can't take my family back to that house in the condition it is now. Thank you.

We had a great time because the location was perfect and we had a gorgeous view The weather was great and so was our friends. As for the home.....NO AIR CONDITIONING! All the blinds were broke. The deck needed repair, lots of rotted wood. Dishwasher old and didn’t work well. Old dishes, silverware, pots and pans and utensils. Advertized that there was a dock in front but it had been ruined because of ice and high water. Did get $200 refund but had to spend $600 to rent another boat. When I called to complain to Evolve before we rented the place about the dock it took 3 phone calls being on hold for an hour until I finally hung up and chose the prompt to make an reservation. Which I was then told I had to wait 15 days before the reservation date to talk to anyone and to send them an email. The cleaning person who I was able to talk to was wonderful and very helpful. I would never use the company Evolve again.

The condition of the property was not acceptable – we are still waiting for a response from Evolve on ER charges and reimbursement. We have contacted multiple times and noone will respond. Bugs – there were ants crawling everywhere – including on my daughter's toothbrush and in the kitchen. There were tiny bugs in the carpet – I washed all suitcases and clothes upon returning home. Earwigs in the bathroom and bedrooms – when I washed a load of laundry from the trip at home, 2 earwigs had climbed into the suitcase and were in the washer dead at the end of the cycle. Dock – the house advertised a dock but the dock was actually laying across the lawn. We had to anchor our boat and cross jagged rocks with a senior and children to get to it. Electrical – many plugs were not covered correctly or wires were coming out of the wall; living room and in the front door frame. Unsafe Fireplace – the fireplace has 2 noticeable cracks that are not sealed. My son was playing next to one of the cracks in the main area of the house when he cut the back of his heel off and had to immediately be taken to the ER around 9 pm. If this had occurred earlier in the trip we would have immediately left, however, we didn’t even arrive back from the ER until around midnight on Monday night when the other children were already asleep and our home is 4 hours away. The ER visit was $250 out of pocket plus additional costs for bandages and care that we’ve recently spent; around $50 at walgreens. In addition, our 2 year old son has to stay out of the water for an unclear amount of time as this heals and we will be losing out on planned vacations and time enjoying the best part of MI on the lake we live on. We have stayed in numerous rental properties and have never had a disappointing experience until now.

We spend the whole afternoon clean the deck around the house and outside furniture Wish there is a deck so we can park the boat.

The beds were comfortable. Decent size for a large group. One room didn’t seem to get enough heat from what people told me. I think it was the master bedroom. Need some more cooking appliances I guess. Overall we enjoyed the stay

Had a great time at this location. Lots of room and great location. Perfect for my group
