Great Getaway

Delightful, comfortable, scenic, and quiet location on a beautiful lake. Except for the lack of towel racks and the steep back hillside down to the water, it was the perfect place to get away and enjoy the beauty of the setting.

Beautiful location

The house has a beautiful location and the view of the lake is beautiful. There are several things to do in the surrounding areas such as hiking, horseback riding, shopping and nice restaurants. The house was overall nice. It has a combination of very nice updates and a few needed updates. The couches are extremely uncomfortable. Our host was responsive for the most part.

Couple things…

Beautiful view but lacked any place to hang clothes. Shower was nice but sink didn’t drain properly in the second floor bath. Lamp lighting would have been easier on the eyes for TV and reading. Directions to the place got us lost. We came from the north and saw no sign for the restaurant we were looking for. Had great weather and overall enjoyable time

Amazing!

Our mini vacation was nothing short of amazing! The cabin was fully stocked of essentials and there was even a paddleboard/kayak at the lake for our use. We had some difficulties with the air conditioning and Diana was prompt in helping us to resolve the issue. We had some rain during our stay and were worried we couldn’t hang out at the deck but they had a retractable awning which covered almost all the deck! My guest and I all had a truly awesome time, thanks Diana!

Athens Lake House

Gorgeous overall. Few hiccups; air conditioners not working, tv not working, oven not working, and there was no way to get back onto the dock after jumping into the water. Needs a ladder for sure. Kind of dangerous. Very clean, very picturesque neighborhood, quaint and cute! Would absolutely stay again if some details attended too =)

It could be lovely… desperately needs attention

The lake view is amazing. Sunsets gorgeous. Location is not the issue. The owner has seriously let the place go. The bathroom exhaust fan was barely hanging on to the ceiling. The shower walls and bathroom ceiling covered in mildew, not to mention the grout in the bathroom tile floor. The hot tub is missing knobs and head rests. The sofas in the living room are the most uncomfortable we’ve ever experienced. The owner has left no drawer or closet space in the downstairs bedroom for a renter to unpack. Bulbs were burned out on the deck and down by the dock. We actually left a day early because it just got to be too much to handle when we found mouse droppings on the kitchen counter. Evolve refunded us $200 of a $1400 booking. The owner never acknowledged the mess.

Beautiful lake house

We stayed for 3 nights and absolutely loved this house! The view of the lake is incredible and the hot tub and fire pit were very relaxing. It felt like we were at summer camp. Diana was great as well - very responsive to the questions I sent her. I would definitely recommend this house for your next lakeside getaway.

Perfect place for a week getaway

This was just what we needed. The view is spectacular. It was a little chilly when we first arrived, so the gas fireplace was perfect. The hot tub was a lot of fun and with the firepit, we got to toast marshmallows and make smores. All in all it was a perfect stay that even elicited some smiles for a moody 12 year old! Thanks.

Lakeside paradise

We enjoyed our long weekend away from the city in this perfectly private lakeside gem. The house has a nice layout with a cute kitchen and nice size livingroom with sunset views of the lake. The a/c units were perfectly set when we arrived and the bedrooms, complete with ensuite baths were complete with all the amenities. We enjoyed the deck with the large retractable awning that protected you from the sun and the rain. The lake was quiet and peaceful and we enjoyed the paddleboat. The property was fully manicured and the hot tub was delicious. The surrounding area was upscale and the recreation areas were well kept. It was the perfect house for a quick getaway or a weekly stay. Diana was very nice and we felt very comfortable in her house. We plan on going back someday.

Total Relaxation & Care

The property truly did exceed expectations. Starting with the view of the lake from the deck and the hot tub, to actually having a dock on the lake that one could sit upon and relax. The gas fireplace, the large screen TV, solid Wi-fi, a small but very solid kitchen, the view of the lake from inside the home, Sonos bluetooth speaker, open floor space living room and of course the hot tub. As someone who has rented places before there was an internet to rent from, I have been in many properties. While for the most part everything goes smoothly. Every now and then, things happen. Power goes out due to a storm, flooding occurs due to a storm or clogged line and the list goes on. While these things can be upsetting, I recognize that it is part of the high price of home ownership. Things happen. The question is, how does the owner or property manager handle it when it does goes wrong? After all it is easy to have a good time, when everything is going well. But what about when things do not go well? It is for this reason that I would highly recommend this property. I had many things go wrong, but at each turn, Diana was instantly available and promptly resolved the issue. No muss, no fuss. It was handled and handled quickly. Even more than handling it, she was always pleasant and reassuring. I know I felt as though my constant calls were annoying her. Yet at no point did I hear that in her voice. It was always pleasant and reassuring that things would be handled. This is a quality that is rare, and what truly made my stay here enjoyable. The properties we rent may be amazing, but in the end for most of them, they are amazing because they are infused with the owners' essence. It creates a vibe that all would be well. Thanks to Diana it was. And then some. I look forward to returning in the future.
