Exceeded our expectations for a weekend getaway! The unit was clean and had everything we needed. The pool area was beautiful and well-maintained, and the short walk to the beach made it easy to come and go throughout the day. We couldn’t have asked for a better location or a more relaxing stay. Highly recommend and would definitely return!

Property was as advertised. Everything was satisfactory. We were there during a very hot week of 95 degree weather which made the lake that much more desirable, but the ac had a hard time keeping up with the great room, & loft areas. We were able to catch sunfish, perch and bass right off of the dock. We would definitely return.

We rented for my family plus to stay for weekend Wedding at Camp Tannadoonah. After checking in we decided to pivot the place for all the girls to get ready for the big event at this lakehouse because it was perfect! Lots of room for two makeup artists and two hair stylists to ready up eight girls with lovely natural light coming in the plentiful floor to ceiling windows. It will make for great photos!!! Also the deck with lake backdrop, perfect for photos. Lots of comfy seating for everyone! Beds were to my liking, with two of the bedrooms on the first floor, so great! Both bathrooms are very large and complete. Kitchen feels loved and lived in with plenty of glasses, mugs, plates to use. Long driveway for nice safe parking. Owner was very quick to respond to each question I had. I feel very lucky to have picked Evolve and this particular lakehouse for our perfect occasion. Thank you!

We wanted a getaway during COVID and was hoping for a quiet area and that is exactly what we found. House is beautiful and was very clean. Everything was as posted online. Loved the windows looking at the lake. Contact person was very helpful.Only negatives was no rentals on lake for boats/ jetskis etc. Another lake would deliver, but not for 1 day.Grill is somewhat new, but obviously has not been cleaned by renters and could not get it clean. We still used it and it was fine. The propane was empty, so we did have to go trade it in. Both were empty : (We will def. come back again!! Thanks for a great getaway!
