Okay place to stay

We rented this place for the weekend for racing at Eldora. The location was great, its right on the lake. We took our dogs and it had a nice big back yard with fence for them. The reason for the 3 stars is the water had a smell like rotten eggs. The 2 spare rooms need bigger beds.

Peaceful

The house is so cute and it’s not located in a big neighborhood so it was very quiet all day. The backyard was great for our pup to play in, and the fire pit was a nice addition! They even provided wood for us to use. It was very clean and very welcoming! We will definitely be using this home again for upcoming trips.

Eldora race weekend

property was nice. a few changes would be nice. Curtains in living room are shear and anyone outside can look inside in evening hours making us feel uncomfortable. Lighting in kitchen could be added over the sink. Only a ceiling fan light in middle of kitchen. Beds were comfortable rooms nice. would

Hi Carl, we’re sorry to hear about the inconveniences you encountered during your stay and appreciate your feedback. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your comments, and they wanted to share the following:-The door lock issue may have been caused by a power outage, which can sometimes impact the keyless entry system. We’re sorry for any confusion and will monitor this more closely.-The rug is vacuumed regularly, but we’ll have it deep cleaned to ensure it's in top condition.-We were unaware of the gate issue, but we’ll repair it right away to ensure the backyard is secure.-The bed in the home is indeed a queen size, and we can provide proof of purchase if needed.-We’ll also address the deck's peeling paint and weeds to bring it back to the condition shown in the listing.Thank you again for your feedback. We’re committed to improving the property and hope to provide you with a better experience in the future!

Terrible the heat didn’t work

We left after being there 10 hours. Not even 1 day. The heat in the master bedroom didn’t get hot enough to warm up that room, the refrigerator made a loud noise when it ran and it was so loud it interupted our sleep that first night (cold and awake) is not a good combination. The split systems in the kitchen and living room were not in heat mode and when we changed it the 1 in the living room stopped working before it caught up. So we left an ran for the border after I contacted the property contact with the issues.

Hi Ted, we're sorry your stay fell short of expectations. After reading your comments, the homeowner would like to share the following:- The bed was recently upgraded to a memory foam mattress and no longer needs a box spring, making it lower than before. The listing photos will be updated to reflect this change.- The refrigerator had not been previously reported as noisy, but based on your feedback, we'll consider replacing it to prevent future issues.- The heating units were checked before your arrival and again after checkout, and no issues were found. Remotes are available to adjust the temperature as needed.Thank you for your review. Your input helps us improve the guest experience.

Cozy & Quiet

Nice, quiet location on the channel. Check-in was very simple. Upon entry of home, first impression very clean. Most everything was clean except the refrigerator and the back deck. We are non smokers with no pets. Deck left with butts and dog mess. Felt we had to clean up previous mess so we would not be charged. Would suggest Evolve update communication between book at the home and their online directions for the use of the garage. One area stated you could use, online said no access. Severe storms came through Saturday and Sunday nights. At least the carport protected the boat/truck. Neighbors extremely friendly and helpful. Would consider this property again in the future.
