  5/5

  We absolutely loved this house and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We have a 14yr, 8yr, and 6yr old. The kids had already decided from pictures which rooms they wanted but unfortunately it wasn’t listed and we did not realize the twin bedroom is in the walkout basement, through a couple of doors, well out of earshot. It would be fantastic for a family with a couple of teens but with two younger kids and our oldest being a girl, we were not comfortable having either of the younger ones downstairs and our oldest wasn’t comfortable being down there by herself, so our girls shared a bed upstairs. The basement truly feels like an entirely separate, amazing living area minus a kitchen.

  Otherwise, we had a wonderful stay. The kids loved the fire pit every evening and the house is so close to so many beautiful hiking areas. We hiked every day to 7 different waterfalls, had lunch at a waterfall a couple of days, and came back to cook dinner and roast s’mores. Very comfortable home and we truly enjoyed our stay.

  I do think someone may need to mention to the cleaning crew to check the pots and silverware as everything we pulled out to use were dirty with food caked on pots and utensils, though we don’t count that against a place as we know people can easily “clean” their dishes and put them back in the cabinets with the cleaning crew none the wiser. Do also beware the carpet upstairs is in need of restretching. The kids did trip up on some bubbled carpet a few times.

  Manager's Response:

  From the owner: "We are so glad that you enjoyed your visit! And thank you for the feedback on the dishes. We have changed cleaning crews, and I believe they are much more attentive to this sort of thing. But I will mention it to them as well, so it is on their radar. Come again, anytime!"

  You will enjoy nice sunset from the deck, very private. The Pisgah forest area is beautiful , particularly the waterfalls . You will enjoy seeing the white squirrels which are unique to that area.

  The communication was not good with the rental management company agent , Emily , she did not respond on time and needed several prompts to get back to us, and luckily we did not have an urgent issues during our stay to be addressed. Evolve rentals management needs to pay better attention to this.

• Cousins reunion

  5/5

  5 cousins reuniting after 10 yrs separation. House was awesome we had such a great time. However we never really din anything but talk, talk talk, eat and enjoy each other. There are lots of stairs but one really nice bedroom and bath downstairs easy to access for feeble or impaired ppl. View is out if this world. Really great time..

• Cousin’s reunion

  4/5

  We had a reunion to reconnect 5 of us cousins scattered around the country then we had drop in cousins who live in the area. The house is awesome the view is awesome. The only thing I would change is I would put the sectional sofa downstairs and the chairs down up in front of the fireplace. Not enough places to sit in the main living room. We had a couple of ppl who couldn’t use stairs so that was the only place to congregate so pretty uncomfortable. Other than that nice and clean and it was a great experience. Better have a car capable of going up a very steep drive way.
