The Best
We have never stayed anywhere that was so well equipped. We grilled and there was an extra full propane tank, so no worry about running out. The house was spotless, and the owner put out fresh cut flowers. I was just like being at home except better because it is perfectly kept.. This is the prefect place you can relax and enjoy being alive Ron & Daina

Wonderful, Spacious Home with Lots of Amenities
We were a group of 7 adults plus our dog and we had PLENTY of room for everyone to spread-out. The kitchen was stocked with lots of spices and oils for cooking our meals. The grill on the deck was ready-to-go with a full propane tank. There was more than enough firewood for us to have a great evening at the fire pit. The house was immaculately clean and we didn't lack for anything. Our host was very responsive when we had questions prior-to and during our stay. The house is located in an extremely quiet community and the roads leading in and out are very steep and curvy. There is a beautiful winter view of the lake from the back decks but no actual lake access. Just a short drive if you want to be at the marina or fishing on the nearby river.

One of our favorites
We've stayed at a lot of different houses in the area, and this one has become our favorite. It's always well-kept, well-prepared, and well-stocked for most anything you'd need as a rental in the area. We appreciate the lakeside location, but also being close to town in the event that you need supplies of any kind. We also enjoy the nice gestures from the owner, like stocking the fridge with fresh eggs to work with for breakfasts. Definitely recommend.

Wonderful home!
This was a beautiful home for our family to stay in for 5 days over July 4th holiday. Perfectly stocked with everything needed for your stay! Very spacious bedrooms and baths. Plenty of parking and i must say the landscaping is absolutely stunning. Certainly created with an artists eye! Aura is a gracious host!

Would rent again!
Excellent experience. This home was very clean and tidy upon arrival. Check in was easy and we had a great time staying here. The location was quiet with lake access and spacious rooms were perfect for our group of 6 people. Thank you for letting us staying in your beautiful lake side cottage and we look forward to renting this home again in the future. 😊

Fantastic lake house
We just stayed at this house for the second time in a year and loved it just as much the second time around. It appeared that the house acquired some nice additions since the last time as well, such as an additional bed and optional air mattress in one of the bedrooms. The driveway being paved is a huge plus for those who come to the area for car/motorcycle events. Porches are great, and the location is fantastic too.

Peaceful retreat
We came across this lovely place when looking for a place to stop for a couple days in the Smokey Mountains. Aura’s home is the perfect place to rest while enjoying the beautiful Lake Santeetlah. The home had plenty of space for our family of 6. Three bedrooms and bathrooms on three different levels. The kitchen was well equipped to cook meals and the grill was used too. We enjoyed making S’Mores on the fire pit and having morning coffee on the back porch. The gardens at the home were stunning and the first thing we noticed when we first pulled up. Flowers and lush trees all over the grounds. So Peaceful and tranquil! Aura was a delight to work with when there was a problem with the washer. She takes pride in her home and it shows.

Family Getaway
The cabin was very nice but lacked in a couple of areas. The kitchen could use some serious cooking utensils (pots/pans, measuring spoons, etc). There were 3 TVs and we could never get any to connect to a major network. This could have been our lack of knowledge, however there were no instructions available. The hot water seemed to run cold to the kitchen sink but very hot to the downstairs bath. You had to run the water for a long time before getting hot in the main bathroom. All 3 bedrooms need to have the mattress replaced with queen or king size beds. Ice machine in the refrig did not produce ice unless we didn't know how to operate it properly. The location is perfect. Very quiet, beautiful surroundings and people were friendly that we met on the road.

Don't work with Evolve management
I am regular and long time user of VBRO and honestly never had a bad experience. Unfortunately this time we had a accident on way to our property. I reached to the designated property manager by email and phone to advise and NEVER got a response. I then attempted to contact the Management at Evolve and NEVER got a response. We chose to abandon our trip and plans. I will not book any property again that Evolve handles and suggest you do the same. Really disappointed. EVERY other property manager I have dealt with has been responsive and helpful but Evolve must not care. Jim Boerigter

Gorgeous secluded house with tons of space and lake views
The home was perfect for 6 adults on a recent trip the Deal's Gap. The driveway was huge and we could fit all our cars (very low S2000, boxster, C6) and a truck and trailer. The driveway is a little steep at first but levels out. The road getting to the house is a windy, one way, single lane road. But we were able to get a truck and trailer with a car on it through there just fine. The house is the perfect spot between Robbinsville and Deal's Gap. We could see the sunset through the trees over the water from the deck. Very quiet and relaxing area. We had a blast! The host was very communicative. 10/10 would recommend.

Family Quick Trip Get-A-Way
This is a beautiful property. The home is well appointed and has just enough personal touches to make it feel like a home and not just another rental. Just a note for renting seniors that all three bedrooms are on different levels so there are plenty of stairs. Also, the lake view during the summer months is minimal at best due to the foliage, but still have peakaboo visibility. All in all, we had a great stay and enjoyed our time. Would return after the leaves drop.

Lovely home.
Enjoyed our stay. Clean and neat home. Was a good location for riding motorcycles to Tail of Dragon. The neighborhood is built on steep slopes so maneuvering the narrow road was difficult with a trailer as we trailered our bikes there. Just be aware of that.

Great spot near the Dragon
We chose this property for its proximity to the Tail of the Dragon and an event that we attend annually, and will likely make this place our new spot. House was very clean and well prepared for our stay. Coming down for car events, we appreciated that the street in is paved and that the driveway is very accessible. Our only knock would be the experience attempting to message the property manager with questions weeks ahead of the stay. Multiple messages went without response on Vrbo. They asked us to create a separate log in and manage our reservation through their own web site, which seemed strange and unnecessarily complicated. Messages to them on that platform weren't replied to either. However, they were great to work with directly over the phone and quickly answered our questions and adjust our dates.
