Great Rental
August 28, 2025

Awesome location with everything you could need within 5 minutes. House was very well stocked. We spent time on the lake and fishing off the dock was good. Weather was perfect during the entire visit. We will be returning next year.

Beautiful home
August 27, 2025

We had a great time at this place near Alexandria. The home was just right for our family of fourteen. Six bedrooms and the upstairs bed loft was great for our grandkids. Very well kept and set up perfectly for dinner, games, coffee, etc. Short walk to a private dock where we kept a boat for the week. Luckily no storms during our weeks stay, but if we would have had a rainy day there were plenty things to do inside. The screen enclosed hot tub was a hit for all. One thing that would improve the place for larger families would be more fridge space. We brought most of our food for a week but struggled to get everything in the fridge even with the small fridges downstairs. There is an interstate on the front side of the house that had a fair amount of traffic noise but the rear of the house with the deck it was hardly noticeable. Other than that we loved the place and would certainly recommend it to anyone.

Thanks for your candid review, Ron.

We’re glad the home worked well for your family and that you enjoyed your stay; particularly the loft, hot tub, and dock. We appreciate your feedback on the fridge space and traffic noise and will pass it along.

Weekend getaway
August 26, 2025

Our family stayed at this home for a weekend get away before the kids headed back to school. My husband and I stayed with our four children and one of their friends. The home had a great floor plan. Having three bathrooms was wonderful when everyone was getting a shower after being on the lake all day. We would book this home again

A vacation in nature
August 25, 2025

It's a beautiful cabin located in rural Ohio in a beautiful wooded area if you like wild animals there's plenty to be seen deer turkeys squirrel rabbits birds of all shapes and colors and if you're lucky a bear. It's close enough to towns and several restaurants that are very good including the Bob Evans and a little corner store in Porter I have excellent hamburgers and pizzas so I would say we really enjoyed the stay

Ruined our vacation
August 15, 2025

We booked a condo in May and got a confirmation email through booking.com. We paid for the condo in July. I called 4 days before check-in to ask a question, and they said our reservation was pending. How can it be pending if I have a confirmation number and they took our money! I was put on hold and then told we couldn't have the rental and they couldn't refund our money. We'd have to go through booking.com. I will be very careful to make sure future rentals do not involve evolve!

Hi Julie,

First and foremost, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We truly value your honesty—comments like yours help us identify areas where we can improve, and we've shared your insights with the appropriate teams to support those efforts moving forward.

We also want to sincerely acknowledge the frustration caused by the cancellation. Unfortunately, there was a technical issue on the booking platform’s side that prevented your reservation from properly transferring into our system. While this is far from the experience we strive to provide, we did offer alternative options as soon as the issue was brought to our attention by the platform. Since the reservation did not reflect on our end, we recommend reaching out directly to the booking site for assistance with your refund.

If there’s anything else we can do to support you, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 877-818-1014 or via any of our social media channels.

We had a wonderful vacation at Uncle John's cabin on Blind Sodus Bay. It was so comfortable and well appointed and our host, Mary Connery, made the stay even more memorable. She was so helpful! Our favorite part was sitting on the sun porch in the morning and enjoying the spectacular view, binoculars provided! Watching the swans that live in the bay did not disappoint. It's located in a lovely quiet neighborhood that provided us with a relaxing week, just what we were looking for. My husband enjoyed fishing off the dock and there's plenty of road for a relaxing walk. Meals were easy to prepare in the well stocked kitchen with a beautiful grill right outside the door. Beautiful Fair Haven State Park is a short drive away, as are restaurants, and points of interest. It was the vacation that we were looking for.

Great time in Branson
August 15, 2025

We had an awesome time in Branson. Our rental was exactly what we needed for our family get away. It was close to everything we wanted to do. Our granddaughter loved sitting on the deck and watching the birds and squirrels. We even saw a bald eagle during our stay.
