Needs Improvement
VRBO doesn't have an 'Issues' category. I provided a detailed list to Evolve. A/C remote batteries were dead so I had to borrow from a TV remote. Deck was full of pine cones and needles which I cleaned. Second Kayak was 'sunk'. No dish soap or sponge to clean dishes. Dirty pans in the cupboard. Grill middle burner doesn't light and no grill tools to be found. No kitchen exhaust fan, so open a window and hope for the best. Overall, a nice property but isn't up to the standards we have grown to expect from VRBO.

A nice little cozy cabin with peaceful sights and kayaks to use as well. The cabin was great and very comfortable. We will be coming back again next year!!!!

Would not rebook this home
Upon arrival outside was was unkept. Pine needles all over deck. Leaves in driveway. Yard could use a clean up. Inside was ok. Beds are very uncomfortable. Televisions in rooms did not work. Floors were dirty. Bathroom was very narrow but lots of counter space. We had to go purchase a broom since the only was an outdoor broom. We made the best of it…the kayaks were a plus and our family caught fish. Close to town and the state park. We would be back to Tawas but not this home.

Disliked: Cleanliness
it is what it is
When we first got there the key pad wouldn't work, thank god it finally did but it was unreliable, thus resulting in leaving the sliding back door open. The dumpster was already full of the previous guests trash, we didn't have another place so we had to place it in the shed which also had garbage in it from previous guests. Once inside the house it was less than desirable with no trash bags, no hot pads, and no dish or laundry soap though we were expected to clean all dishes and laundry before we left. There was no first aide kit, though it was needed. There was no way to shut off the air conditioning and the days we stayed were quite cold. There were also issues with the televisions in the two bedrooms, the remotes wouldn't connect, the only working television was the one in the living room. When we arrive the back porch was completely filthy, loads of pin needles everywhere. We had to clean it ourselves. The grill looked very unclean with very minimal tools, and there were no cushions for the outside furniture. We were promised two kayaks but they were both broke and dirty, a clear hazard being on them and getting them into the water. There was also only one life jacket available. We had asked for help and they just told us, "it is what it is." All in all this place was less then exemplary and we would recommend staying in a better house.

Not ready for rental
Property was a mess. Grass over a foot tall, old leaves everywhere, old plant pots all over deck (no flowers). No outside pickup at all. Cannot fish out back, the kayaks were on the property next door. Not a good 1st impression. Went inside & it got worse. No bedding on the bigger bed. It was thrown on the bed in the other room and there was a bag of dirty towels by the front door. So it was obvious the place was not cleaned between guests. I was VERY upset. Rent places up in Tawas all the time & have never seen this. I called the # and it was a 3rd party cleaning company, not the owner. He said he would send someone to clean it. He did cash app me some money towards dinner. When we got back the beds were made. But there was a cabinet full of old dirty linens. The place needs a good deep clean & some major work outside. I spent a lot of money for not being able to use kayaks or be able to fish. I feel ripped off. I would never stay here again, nor recommend this house. There are plenty of other great choices to pick from with accurate descriptions

Disliked: Cleanliness
The property has potential, but was not prepared for guests to arrive. Noted issues include a leaf-strewn driveway, a hazardous bathroom doorknob, litter on the floor, dismantled smoke detector, layer of dust on the sofa, & handprints clearly visible on glass sliding door. The lawn was over 12 inches tall, it was difficult to access outdoor amenities. I called the number provided in the guest binder around 8pm. The man who answered was from a 3rd party cleaning service, not the owner of the property. I let him know that the king bedroom did not have linens, the AC unit was not working, & we needed batteries for the remote control. He said he would not be able to come to the property that night, but he would escalate the problem to his supervisor & reach out to the property owner. He followed up with me via text & was helpful with what he personally could do that evening. We took batteries out of a TV remote to solve the air conditioning issue, planned to sleep in the queen bedroom & make the most of the weekend. Once we were unpacked & took off our shoes, we noticed the bottoms of our socks were dirty from walking on the floor. All days we were there. The next day, the third party cleaning service left an open garbage bag of linens for the king-size bed out in the entry way, open in the rain. The guest instructions say to wash dishes, but no dish soap or sponge provided. The listing mentions board games, also missing. We left the house cleaner than when we arrived.
