Hi Glenn, we’re sorry to hear your stay did not meet your expectations. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following: - Considering the recent hot weather in the area, we proactively activated the A/C to ensure a pleasantly cool environment upon your arrival. Guests are free to modify the A/C settings according to their comfort. Please remember that our team is readily available to assist if you require any guidance in operating the system - Thanks for bringing the issue of cobwebs to our attention.

Hi Dirk, the right vacation home is everything, and we're disappointed if this wasn't the one for you. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following: - The listing does state that our vacation home is a log cabin with an open floor concept, but we are sorry if this caught you off guard. We encourage guests to thoroughly review the listing before booking, to ensure they find the perfect vacation home for their needs - The ceiling in the bathroom is finished with knotty pine wood and a clear stain. The bedroom downstairs does have a privacy curtain. Our water softener also works properly. - All of the windows are supposed to open and close, however, based on your feedback, new window opening cranks have been ordered. We do offer a soaker tub and the jets work well but we apologize that they were not exactly like you’d prefer. - Evolve sets industry-competitive prices based on our property and the surrounding area and they use a dynamic pricing algorithm, which can fluctuate depending on the time of year or holiday season. We apologize if you didn't feel it was a good value. - While we do regret our home was not up to your expectations, we are happy to share that no issues were reported by the guests who stayed the following weekend. - Thank you for sharing your review. Your feedback assists us in understanding our guests' perspectives and improving wherever possible.

Hi Josie, we're delighted to hear that you and your family had a great time and created wonderful memories at the cabin. We take guest feedback seriously, and after sharing your comments with the homeowner, they wanted to address the following:-The master bedroom does not have curtains as the cabin is on higher ground, providing natural privacy. However, there is a decorative wood tri-fold divider in the closet to place in front of the see-through fireplace for added privacy.-The slight rust in the water is due to the geographical location and well water common in northern Minnesota.-Additional toilet paper is stored in the supply locker. Our caretaker would have been happy to provide more if needed had you reached out.-The aquatic life in the natural lake, including leeches, is beyond our control, but we're glad to hear the water was clear and warm.-The downstairs bedroom currently has a privacy curtain instead of a door. We will add lamps to enhance the lighting in that room.-The cabin is dusted after every clean, but being in northern Minnesota, cobwebs can appear quickly.-We're thrilled you had good fishing during your stay!-Unfortunately, as you stated, the electricity outage was beyond our control.-We will look into providing additional lawn chairs, beach towels, and sand toys available for future guests.-The dishwasher will be inspected and repaired as needed.-The location is remote, contributing to limited phone signal, but we hope the seclusion added to your cabin experience.-We're glad your puppy enjoyed the built-in dog house!-Due to recent heavy rainfall, water levels have risen, affecting the beach size and leading to more people gathering in that area. We apologize for the inconvenience and lack of privacy.Thank you for taking the time to leave your review! We appreciate your feedback and will use it to make necessary improvements. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again!
