I arrived to a slightly older cabin than expected. But it was peaceful and quite. I woke up to the road being dug up at 7am. The construction kept me from leaving for hours and when I was able to get out, i couldn't get back in. This lasted 2 of the 3 days i was here. I contacted the owner, his answers was i didn't know. Not very likely as this is a large utility repair through the whole neighborhood. And even people in town were aware of it. And the master shower in fact backs up almost flooding the bathroom. I could only use 1 of the 2 shower heads provided

Needed additional space for family to stay near our home in Pine for a family get together.

Just the two of us celebrating our anniversary. Our only complaint was the porch stairs and railing! The stairs are very weak and we were waiting for a step to break through. Also the handrail is all peeling and you have to grab the side to avoid getting wood or pain splinters. We are if an older age and we needed to hold on to not only go up the stairs but to be cautious in the event a stair tread broke through. These definitely should be fixed before someone gets hurt and the owners are sued. I’m not the only one who has commented on this. I thought surely it would have been addressed before we went up. That’s why I couldn’t give it 5 stars and also the back yard could use some sprucing up.

Where do I start? First, the backyard was completely overgrown and the area between the screen door and back door was filled with cobwebs, dirt and debris. The kitchen sink leaked every time we washed dishes or ran the dishwasher and flooded the cabinet and floor. The master shower didn’t drain and filled the pan with several inches of water. Some of the windows did not open and all but the bathroom window had no screens. The bathroom window was so dirty that you couldn’t see out of the bottom half of the window. The front deck paint was peeling and the steps leading up to the front door were loose and rocked when you stepped on them. The family room rug was absolutely filthy, as was most of the carpet throughout the house. Several lamps were missing the parts that turn the lamps on and off. I could go on! Many of these issues were reported to the Owner and Evolve by our 2nd day in the house, yet the owner failed to even respond or acknowledge our concerns. We rented the property for 7 long days! DO NOT RENT HILDA’S RETREAT unless you don’t mind living with the conditions listed above.

Pros: House is really nice and very clean Furniture and beds were really comfortable Quiet and nice neighborhood. WiFi worked very well Saw elk one morning Kitchen had everything you needed for cooking Cons: No AC. Has portable ac units that are loud so you have to listen to those run all day and night. Was hard to enjoy the peace and quiet. Living room was still warm with that and fans going. Skylight in master bedroom made it hard to sleep in or take a nap because it’s so bright in there. No way to block out the sun. The steps to the deck are sketchy. Was worried I’d fall thru one of them. Handrailing is splintering so had to be careful not to touch it. Backyard is small and was very overgrown so didn’t bother going out there.

Hilda’s cabin was perfect for a weekend getaway in Pine! It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Easy to find and a great neighborhood with elk strolling thru the yard! We would definitely stay again. I offer just a few suggestions: refinish the hand rail on the steps - we got a few splinters; replace the memory foam mattress in the first bedroom; and indicate on the listing that the grill is charcoal so guests can be prepared. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Was fabulous easy to access not May steps just perfect for what we needed

The home was beautiful and clean. We stayed for 4 days. Location was amazing and we saw several elk and deer in the yard daily. The spare bedrooms need to have bedside lights for reading at night. The septic was overflowing and needs to be pumped. We would stay here again.
