Cleaning
Did not feel as though the property was as clean as it should have been. The master sheets did not look clean so we took them off and washed them as well as the bunk beds. Back deck rug was not very clean but I took the broom and cleaned it off. The grill had to be cleaned to use it and the gas tanks were pretty much empty. The property otherwise was very nice and pleasant and we enjoyed the rest of the stay after the initial clean up.

Great Location
The property was located in a little cove area with a fabulous view of Lake Blue Ridge. The little beach area was a great addition for our two grandchildren. We rented a pontoon boat for the weekend and the dock was very short walk from the house. The inside of the house accommodated our family but would recommend updating the linens and towels and also add some additional kitchen items. Would definitely stay here again!!

Waterfront Escape on Blue Ridge
The pictures of this house make it look a lot nicer than it really is. The house could be amazing and the property is beautiful. BUT it is in horrible condition. It is super dirty and not kept up at all!! Everything was dirty. All the used food was still in the refrigerator from the previous guest when we got there. Evolve was the management company. They are AWFUL. I will not rent another house they are managing. They use Motel 6 quality towels in expensive homes. It is like the housekeepers from a bad Motel 6 came to prep the home. There are weeds everywhere. The porch furniture wasn't tidied up. If you happened to move a cushion on a couch there were crumbs and dirt and yucky stuff going back forever!! The house looks amazing in the photos but don't be fooled. It has been used hard. Fabrics are all dirty, rugs are dirty, can't even get into master closet because of the disorganized kid stuff in there. I really didn't even want to sit on the dirty furniture in the house. We left a day early. It was very disappointing. Additionally we never heard a word from Evolve after check in or after we left. Horrible company. Communication with them is awful too. You have to have a separate account from VRBO which is hard to use and you never hear back from anyone. Useless!!

Great Property
The property was spacious enough for 6 people and the lake is beautiful. We brought our own boat which proved to be tricky since there is no trailer storage at the house. However, the property manager, Jessica, worked hard to resolve our problem and found us a place to store our trailer. The only negative about our stay was the gnat infestation that plagued us our entire stay. We reported it to the property manager so I'm sure it was taken care of. We would definitely stay at this location again.

Amazing Lake Property
The pictures of the deck, yard, and lake did not disappoint. This is a truly special property, with lake and mountain vistas. The house is thoughtfully appointed and well maintained. Whether you are enjoying a day on the lake, or a cool afternoon lounging on the back porch, this is a great place to enjoy some time off.

Beautiful lakefront property!
What a great Blue Ridge property! The view was just stunning. It was a perfect weekend spot for our family which included our older parents, adults and teens. There was plenty of room for everyone and nice sleeping accomodations. The beds were comfortable and the 2 1/2 baths were adequate for a party of 8. The outdoor living area/porch was where we spent a lot of time, from coffee in the am to grilling out and eating on the side deck. We rented a boat from the Blue Ridge Marina and spent the day travelling around the lake and tubing. There is a little beach area that is in a protected cove that was perfect and the dock was easy to get in/out with our pontoon rental. Pro/Con - the property is located at the end of a point off a narrow road like you would expect to get to such an awesome spot to unwind, con if you have forgotten something or need to pick up groceries or go out to dinner. We ate all our meals at the house so no problem for our party. A few suggestions to the hosts: it would be nice if there were basic pantry items available like oil/vinegar, and coffee, creamer and sugar as it is a drive to the store if you have forgotten them. Also, the grill needs the gas covers replaced so that you don't burn your steaks. The cushions could be replaced on the patio so that you could enjoy the view more fully. Overall, it was a beautiful property. We're considering a trip for the leaf change already!

Rest and Reset Destination
What a special place! Perfect latitude and longitude for some Walden-worthy peace and quiet. Such a lovely, well-appointed, comfortable home designed with good taste and well-thought-out spaces for gathering. Also, some sweet little nooks for snatching a bit of solitude with a good book. If you’re looking for a rest and reset destination, this is an excellent choice.

The only thing that kept me from giving 5 stars ⭐️ all the way across was the living room throw rug was not vacuumed and full of dog hair. When we called Jessica to let her know we didn’t receive a call back. #2 The master bathroom had a sanitizing wrap in the toilet confirming it had been cleaned, but when I (Wife) went to use it for the 1st time not sure if it was feces,dirt, black rust or what by the toilet handle and on the seat itself. I had to re-clean the toilet seat etc. just in case. I would recommend this property and I’m sure these things were just an oversight. Beautiful Place all the way around!! You will not be disappointed.

Late summer family vaca
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. House was clean and comfortable. We just had one issue with dirty sheets on one of the beds. The house is a short boat ride to the marina but a bit of a drive to town. It was great having a dock to tie our boat up to and space to hang out, and it’s on deep water. My grandson and granddog ran and jumped into the water all day long! :) I definitely recommend this house for a family or large group trip!

Beautiful lakefront house with all the amenities you need!
My sister and I surprised my dad for his 70th birthday and rented this house for a long weekend. I would highly recommend this place! Pros: - Lots of space with 3 bedrooms, two living rooms, big wraparound porch. - Well stocked kitchen for cooking meals and 20-25 minutes from the marina restaurant if you don't want to cook. -Nice linens on the beds and comfy furniture in the living rooms. The main bedroom upstairs has a pretty firm mattress, FYI. - Very clean and updated home - Hot tub with amazing view! It's under the porch so nice to sit in during a rainy day. - Lounge chairs on the beach are in the shade most of the day while the ones on the dock are in sun so you have options - In a cove so safe swimming away from passing boats - Dog friendly - Good communication with the property manager and also the owners (grill wasn't working and the owners texted me directly to help figure it out) Cons (and there aren't very many!): - Like many lake houses in GA, there is a long windy, narrow, gravel road to get to it. AWD is recommended, especially if rainy. And go slow around blind corners. - The house doesn't have an address number. So once we got inside the gated community, we had to look up pictures of the house on the listing to figure out which one it was. The listing calls it "Swimmers Paradise" but there is a sign at the front door that says "Evergreen", which was confusing. - Lake Blue Ridge is lowered every year towards the end of the summer and into Fall. We went in mid-August and it was already much lower than in the pictures. The good news about that is that it created a little sandy beach beyond the rocks for dogs to swim and my 2.5 year old nephew to go into the water. If the water was at normal height, it would be all rocks and not really accessible to the water except to climb down the ladder or metal stairs at the dock. Just something to note for little ones! Overall, we had a great time and would come back for sure!
