Been there multiple times , it is a great house in the mountains

Our theatre company (Main Street Theatre Works) had our annual retreat here, for the first time. The place was clean, well laid out, plenty of room, and sweetly decorated (I felt like we were staying at a Black Bear Diner ~ adorable). There were a couple issues: Couldn't get any of the TVs to work (though it was kinda nice not to have TV on), couldn't get the pot belly stove to work. The smoke alarm on the top floor was beeping when we came in, so we had to climb up on a chair and take it down to remove the battery. There were sheets left in the dryer from the previous renter, but we took them out and completed one of our loads of laundry. All that said, none of this hampered our stay and we would consider staying there again for our 2024 retreat.

I liked the property in the pines. It was pretty quiet. We went to a wedding in Dorrington that was 15 mins away.

This is a great cabin not too far (7-miles) from downtown Murphy’s. The home was comfortable and family friendly. The “game room” is a nice added benefit.

The house and furnishings were great.. the location right on top of hwy 4 not all that queit if your looking to spend time out doors.. The game room needs some attention..

The property was as advertised. Very neat and comfortable. The kitchen was adequate. I brought several additional items for our meal preparations that were necessary. Overall everyone (8) was pleased and would like to return next year.

very comfortable and easy get to , in and out . definitely stay here again .

We lost power within hours of arrival and had no hot water. Fortunately the unit had a gas stove. However no emergency supplies and no contact before or during stay despite numerous attempts via email and phone. We left a day short of our stay due to trees falling on homes and additional power lines. We had rented a 4 wheel jeep or we would still be stuck there. The weather impacted are stay but we were frustrated no one from Evolve attempted to contact us. There are no power outage emergency supplies. We were able to dig through drawers and found one well used bic lighter. There were also only 2 small decorative candles for light and 0 lanterns. I might have given this another star if we had at least been contacted. We have used VRBO numerous times and have always given 5 stars. At this point in time I would not recommend without some updates, emergency equipment and a company that communicates with guests.

Better than we expected. Interior matched the surrounding area. Family feel like, cabin in the woods. Definitely would rent again next time we come up here to visit friends and family. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home!!!

We enjoyed are stay in this home very much. The description was accurate. The sleeping situation was great, and the beds were very nice. There were games and DVD to entertain us. We didn't have children with us, but there were lots of play things. The garage game room is very nice. The home is close to the Hwy 4 roadway and some folks might not like the noise factor. The cute and historic town of Murphys is only 7 miles down the road. The noise factor did not bother us. Thank you to the home owner for sharing their home!

There were many wonderful things about staying at this cabin! There were also disappointments. First, the PROS: The house had plenty of space for us (four adults and one teen) and we could have easily added a couple more people without a problem. We loved the living room with the gas stove - it was warm, cozy and spacious. We also loved the sleeping arrangements. Everyone felt very comfortable in the beds. The king size bed on the first floor was one of the most comfortable beds I've slept in recently. It was also nice to have the deck - we spent a lot of time out there (despite the sounds of the freeway, which I'll get to.) The house was very clean and the bathrooms and kitchen were updated, which was nice. So, lots of positives... The CONS: The house is just up the hill from Highway 4! You can hear the cars zooming by while you are sitting on the deck. You can also hear the cars if you have windows open in the house. The living room overlooks the highway and so does one of the bedrooms upstairs. The other problem was the "gameroom" in the garage. We were so excited to spend some quality time playing games together in there. The reality was it was in a total shambles. The air hockey tables and the ping pong table were unusable. There was a dart board with no usable darts. There was water damage on both air hockey tables and the ping pong table and there were no usable paddles or balls. We would have bought our own if the table was worth using. So that was a huge disappointment for us. And lastly, the kitchen was stocked in a very weird way. There was not one drinking glass! They only had a small array of plastic cups that were not in great shape. They had some good, newer non-stick frying pans, but the other pots were pretty old and yucky. So, overall, we enjoyed our stay in this cabin. I do think it is important to note both the pros and cons, though.

We did not experience any issues. Everything worked great and we never had the need to contact anyone. Would definitely book again.

We had a wonderful time, plenty of space, lovely surroundings.

We enjoyed our stay. The kids toys were a happy discovery for our kids. Garage "game room" was a disappointment for the kids, the air hockey tables and the ping pong balls had seen better days. The kids played outside and enjoyed the area around the cabin. Warning: there is a covered large hole on the property. A bit concerning for the smaller kids but we kept an eye on everyone. The older kids thought it was just a fun part of the adventure. Overall the home was warm, welcoming and every thing that had been described. The bunk bed room was a hit.

The yard is clean but no real space outside. It does have a large deck with a table for six and gas barbq, which is very nice! the garage/gameroom is a ton of fun and perfect for young and old alike!

Very nice home. Beautiful kitchen. Contact Lois is exceptional to deal with and get any problem worked out asap.

Great time with the family. the house was as advertised, clean and well stocked with basic kitchen utensils and all the various towels and bedding needed. Highly recommend!

I brought my daughter and her friends up for 3 days to celebrate her birthday. Perfect cabin for that! They all shared one room and had plenty of beds and space. We played lots of games and went to a great swimming spot underneath the caverns. It was very cool! Be prepared for about a 2 mile hike to get there. Loved this place and plan to come back!

clean, east to get to, the recreational activities in the garage are old and weathered and could use some updating, otherwise we had a good time.

Loved the property! Lots to do with the games in the warm garage! Owner was very nice!

Previous reviews of this property convinced me to book this wonderful place for our annual Thanksgiving get-away and I'm glad I did. My wife and I were joined by my daughter, her husband and two late-teen sons and another adult grandson. Everyone loved their beds, the kitchen was fully stocked with every imaginable utensil and lots of spices, etc. The living room was both large and cozy, which seems like a contradiction but it was perfect for all of us when we wanted to watch a movie or football game together. The game room was used a lot, playing ping pong and air hockey and even though it was unseasonably cold with tons of snow outside, the propane heater did a great job of keeping us comfortable. When we arrived, I had to walk down the driveway in 1 to 2 feet of snow because the gate appeared to be locked with a padlock for which I didn't have a combination. I trudged down the hill, sometimes up to my upper thighs in snow, heading to the house, found the lock box, got the key and opened the door....no electricity! The recent storm had caused a power outage. I called Lois and found out that the gate wasn't really locked and that the chain/lock was just draped across the metal post, appearing to be locked. She encouraged me to open the gate and drive down the snow-covered driveway in my GMC 4X4 truck, since it was new snow and no ice involved. My wife and 2 of our grandsons got out and walked down while I drove down, no problem. Although getting out 3 days later was not quite as easy!! (another story, but again, this was an anomaly weather-wise and we had fun shoveling snow). Well, after contacting PG&E, we were told that they hoped to have the power restored within a few hours and it did come on about 2 hours after we arrived. No problems after that. My daughter, her husband and other son arrived later in the evening with their Jeep, which handled the driveway with no problems. After that, just lots of fun, games, movies, etc. A truly wonderful Thanksgiving. Lois and her secretary were very helpful when we had to call a couple times with questions, like where were the snow shovels. Snow of any kind, at this elevation and this early in the season is very rare, much less the deluge that the storm brought to the entire Sierra range. So, while it was unexpected and challenging, I loved the adventure and we had a terrific White Thanksgiving!
