Owner is great. Not same opinion of The Evolve team

I ended up not getting to go at all due to winter storm and there was no way me or any of my guest can make it. The owner of the property was very willing to work with me and help me out and even suggested that I called the vacation rental company to see if they can help unfortunately vacation rental place would not work with me, but like I said, the owner was very friendly and it helped me rebook.

The Absolute Best!

If you are coming to Lay Lake, or Shelby County at all this is by far the best place to stay. The lot is absolutely perfect on a peninsula on the main river channel with the best views from all sides, the house is breathtaking, and the representatives are super awesome and easy to deal with. I’d give 10 stars if I could. We will be booking again for our tournament next year I assure you if you get the chance you will not regret!

Beautiful Lakehouse

My husband, son and I surprised my dad for his 84th Birthday with a little vacation on the lake. We had a great time together making memories in your beautiful home! We loved the large rooms and especially the beautiful bathrooms and extra large showers. My mom cannot walk without assistance and has dementia. She needs to sit in her shower chair while I help bathe her. The extra large shower was so helpful for this! My husband and I especially loved that you left more than 1 trash bag and plenty of soap and toiletries. It was also great having more than one towel and one washcloth per guest. The snacks and coffee/tea station added a special touch. Thank you so much for being such generous and hospitable property owners. We definitely plan to visit again!

Amazing Lake House

We had the best time here. Loved waking up to the views and watching all the boats go by. It was the perfect long weekend getaway we were looking for. Stocked with everything you could need. Very clean. Zero complaints. Thanks for a perfect stay 👏👏

Great House

The house was clean and nicely furnished. Plenty of room to move around and the house stayed cool even though the temp was in the 90's. The covered boat dock was really nice and made my fishing trip so much easier. I actually had a cranking battery go dead on me and replacing it under the covered dock was really nice. Having a gate to enter the property was great. Really like the electronic door locks. Contacting the property contact person was easy and he returned my messages quickly. Will definitely stay at this house again.

Beautiful house & lot

We loved everything about this house from the open floor plan, the cleanliness of the house, comfortable beds, amazing views from inside the house, the fire pit by the lake and the paddle board and kayaks. The host met us at the house to give us the boat keys and he was very personable and courteous. We enjoyed everything about our stay. Thank you!

Couples fishing trip

This property did not disappoint! No detail was spared in making this the perfect spot for comfort and relaxation. And the views! The property was designed and situated to take advantage of panoramic scenery. Our fisherman were especially appreciative of the private boat ramp and dock. There were 3 couples and we all commented that you couldn’t go wrong with any of the 3 bedrooms….all 3 were comfortable and had their own baths. We will definitely stay again if back in the area. Awesome trip!

Beautiful Lake House

House was beautiful with gorgeous views and was well equipped. Had everything you needed and more. Very well thought out. Staff was really nice and helpful and answered all our questions. Felt like you were on your own little island. Did not have any issues what so ever but was surprised of the surrounding neighborhood. A beautiful property to stay in, cook, relax, enjoy the view and all the amenities the property has to offer. We had 4 people but would also be great for a larger group and has another house on the property that is equally as beautiful. It was on the corner and had views from every angle. Peaceful, quiet, and relaxing.
