Terrible the heat didn’t work
We left after being there 10 hours. Not even 1 day. The heat in the master bedroom didn’t get hot enough to warm up that room, the refrigerator made a loud noise when it ran and it was so loud it interupted our sleep that first night (cold and awake) is not a good combination. The split systems in the kitchen and living room were not in heat mode and when we changed it the 1 in the living room stopped working before it caught up. So we left an ran for the border after I contacted the property contact with the issues.

Cozy & Quiet
Nice, quiet location on the channel. Check-in was very simple. Upon entry of home, first impression very clean. Most everything was clean except the refrigerator and the back deck. We are non smokers with no pets. Deck left with butts and dog mess. Felt we had to clean up previous mess so we would not be charged. Would suggest Evolve update communication between book at the home and their online directions for the use of the garage. One area stated you could use, online said no access. Severe storms came through Saturday and Sunday nights. At least the carport protected the boat/truck. Neighbors extremely friendly and helpful. Would consider this property again in the future.

Eldora race weekend
property was nice. a few changes would be nice. Curtains in living room are shear and anyone outside can look inside in evening hours making us feel uncomfortable. Lighting in kitchen could be added over the sink. Only a ceiling fan light in middle of kitchen. Beds were comfortable rooms nice. would
