Nice getaway

Nice, quiet cabin right on a small lake, great for a weekend getaway. It was comfortable and well furnished. With a smart TV, we were able to watch some of our favorite shows during the rainy part of our stay, and then we sat out on the big screened in back and on the large deck when the sun was out. It had a barbeque but we didn't use it due to the weather.The only issues we had were first, we discovered two burned out outlets on separate six-outlet plugs, one of which had a floor heater plugged into. We sent messages to the host AND Evolve (through the app), but never heard back, and I thought it should be taken care of right away. We unplugged the heater and left it unplugged for the rest of our stay. Secondly, there was a lot of dirt on the floor that we had to sweep up. Lastly, many of the horizontal surfaces were sticky, like drinks had been spilled but not wiped up. It just seemed that the cleanup wasn't done very well.Overall, however, we were happy with our stay in the cabin.

Nice. Very nice. Growing up across the road from Lake Hutchinson, on Lake Opal, 1964-1974, made the visit to Lake Hutchinson nostalgic to say the least. Beautiful place & great amenities here. The Lake Hutchinson views and the Spanish Moss waving in the Oak trees rekindled fond memories - while sitting indoors, watching the sunrise from bed, or sitting outdoors on the deck. Unfortunately, it was cold outside, but the cabin is well heated. I’ll be back.

Keystone Heights is a wonderful small town and this Lakefront cabin is a gem. It was perfect for the family to enjoy quality time together but also able to spread out for solitary moments. The view and the back porch can’t be beat!

Nice but no customer service

Property was nicely maintained. House was nice with good quality furniture and a cold A/C (important in FL). The lake was beautiful and neighbor friendly. Cleaning crew was a little sloppy (dishes weren’t clean and zero extra toilet paper). I tried several times to reach the management team but they did not respond.

Sunrise lake

Our stay at this lake house was for a sporting event my children participated in nearby. We were very busy. This was such a great place to start each day and end each day. Sunrises from across the lake which can spectacular views each morning. The back deck was so nice to grill and have meals. I do wish this house had a washer and dryer. This was the first time I have stayed in a rental without (but did not check the listing) and packed thinking I would be able to do laundry like I normally do.

Lovely deck and screen porch

We enjoyed our stay. We loved the screen porch and deck, beautiful sunrise view of the lake. However, it seems that no one had pulled maintenance for awhile. Several things didn't work, deck lighting, fan in the second bedroom, hairdryer, kitchen outlets. Would have been nicer if everything had been functioning.

Much Needed Getaway

This is the third time we have rented this property. We enjoy the location because it is close to family, the lake is beautiful, and the view from the back porch is amazing. Even when it rained (which it normally does on Florida hot afternoons) the view from the porch made the booking worth it. Upon checking we noticed the TV was not working but after contacting the owner we came up with a solution. Would rent this property again.

Awesome lakeside cabin

My friends and I came for a girls weekend. This place was even better than I thought. The bedrooms were nice, the sofas were comfy, and the screened in porch was awesome! The cabin is set up on a hill, looking down at the lake and the view is beautiful. I watched a colorful sunrise over the lake while relaxing in the porch. There is abundant wildlife and lots of birds, which was an added benefit. The check-in process was super easy. I can't really think how any thing could be improved!

We enjoyed the view of the lake from the house and deck. Sitting outside or in the screened in porch if buggy is perfect for memorable gatherings. We even saw a young red shouldered hawk “up close.” The 2 king beds and twins are all very comfortable. The house is graciously supplied with all cleaning and kitchen needs. Therefore for a short stay you don’t need to bring everything from your home to the rented one!
