Good stay overall. Nice location in the river. Window AC units. Some windows had no screens, so couldn’t open. One half bath is in the bunk room, and one is in the laundry room.

This is a great rental located right on the fox river. The house has been updated and has everything you need for your stay. The host was friendly and quickly fixed one of the things that we found was broken. I would stay here again and it was a great location to see the 4th of July fireworks. It was a very hot weekend but the window AC units kept the place cool. The kids in our group loved to see all the wildlife along the river.

The place is quite spacious and has plenty of beds and bathrooms. Bedrooms were nice and spacious, all of them had TV's and storage room. The fishing is pretty good; they had two kayaks in the garage and some floatation tubes. There were a descent amount of pots and pans, but not any serving dishes or food containers. The property had three separate doors; two of them were keyless entry with a door code. We only received one of the codes to the back door, not the front door, and that code only worked once and stopped working after that, so we had to make sure that someone was always in the house so that we didn't get locked out. We never received the codes to the front door or the garage door. In fact, the host did not reach out to me upon check-in time, not once during the entire stay. The grill had two non-functional burners, AC unit in 1st bedroom didn't work, Screen door leaked water when it rained, dock is pretty wobbly. There were no extra blankets, no broom or mop, and no hand towels. The trash was nearly full still from the previous residence, and the shampoo and conditioner dispensers were almost empty. The potable water tastes awful and the water/ice dispenser on the fridge is not hooked up. Some of the door handles inside were loose, and the smart light/fan in the large bathroom did not have a wall switch or a remote and couldn't be used.

Disliked: Communication
Our stay began with not being able to get into the house. The code worked but the door knob was locked. When I called the number for Evolve, a gentleman answered “Hello”. I asked if this was Evolve and he said depends who is asking. Not good. Later that day I had questions. He had told me to text. It took 2 days to get a response and it read “ oh I just saw this”. Communication is all important when your guests spend good money for a stay. If you are a family with children I would not recommend. There is no beach to easily get into the water. There was a ladder but it was a house ladder leaning against the cement retaining wall upside down with slime. My girls, ages 20-30 only went in once and they used the life jackets because the boats come around a bend heading to the lakes and they are moving fast before they hit the no wake zone. Resulting waves are big. No littles, then the space outside is enjoyable. Inside, the house is nice. For the kitchen there is silverware, pots and pans, coffeemaker but little else. Not even salt and pepper. The icemaker and water in door of refrigerator do not work. Accuracy-the WiFi network and password were different from the email I received and the information in the house. Again, small things overlooked. positive side, despite there not being central air, there were window air conditioners in every room and during our stay, temps were in the 90s plus humid. The house was nicely cooled.
