There were bugs everywhere.

I was over charged. The fees were more than the price of the cabin. When we got to the cabin, it was full of stink bugs. They were everywhere. I killed a spider that had a 3 1/2 inch legspan. My niece had a panic attack because of the bugs. There is no ac and it was hot and humid. There were zero towels. After a long 5 1/2 drive we all had to make our own beds when we arrived. That was fun. You could sit on the chairs outside because the chairs were filthy and covered in bird poop. The inside was clean but all the other things made it a place I will never stay again.

Weekend at the lake

Urbana Saddle Ranch cabins are wonderful everything as advertised as far as the cabin it’s self, It was clean for the location a few bugs but we expected them, the beds were comfortable enough. With no AC ceiling fans in bedrooms would be a plus, they offer floor fans which kinda help but are loud. The kitchen had everything we needed and it all worked. The outside fire pit and picnic tables were nice and sturdy. I would not say they are comfortable. I recommend bringing your own chairs. The animals are close and my children enjoyed feeding them. Now the description for Urban Saddle Ranch did not mention the driveway that it was down a steep rough dirt road. If I would have known this we would not have booked this location with pulling a large boat. When I arrived I was meet not greeted nicely as you would have thought, I was met by a man named “Bob” ! Lets says he was not the hospitable host I was expecting. He was rude when I asked for his name after I had introduced myself and that I had reservations. He said slow down there well get to that in a minute and he proceeds to spout off numbers to me. I had to say excuse me what are you talking about, well he was giving me our cabin door lock numbers. My kids just kept looking at me wondering what this man issue was why he was being rude. Once we located the cabin, oh and the driveway to cabins are all very tight dirt roads . We could not park close to cabin to unload, Their are strict parking rules. That if you are caught breaking Bob will call you out for. Also your boats are not permitted next to your cabin, you must park your boat at the top of the hill with everyone else’s boat. My husband was not happy about leaving his boat so far away and the other guest we spoke to was not happy about that either. Oh and be sure to bring cash because Urbana Saddle Ranch does not except PayPal, Venmo, Zelle or Apple Pay, they will reminded that you must pay cash to park your boat per day. Also a side note Urbana Saddle Ranch charges for your trash daily. Lastly if you have Verizon or Sprint cell service you will not have good service at this location. VRBO needs to include all this information on the advertisement for Urbana Saddle Ranch. I did know this information about the extra charges because I went directly to Urbana Saddle Ranch website VRBO does not mention them. When my husband arrived at Urbana Saddle Ranch he was greeted by Monique, she’s very welcoming. I’d speak with her only.

Spring break vacation

The property was not well cleaned. There was a lot of dust behind and under furniture and bed and my son found gum wrappers and stuff under his bed. I did ask vrbo if the cleanliness issue was addressed prior to my stay and I was told yes. It was pretty much similar to the previous reviews written on cleanliness. So I think vrbo should inspect property themselves. The owners are very nice but the property description needs to be updated, the appliances like oven, outdoor grill needs a update and the utensils like knives are not sharp at all and it is difficult to cut items without a struggle. The grill was rusted and falling apart. It was hard to cook items p RF properly. I did love feeding the horses . The property description should include bringing food for horses to feed them.

Reset from the busy life

We had a great time staying! It was quiet and the cabin was clean. I ended up hanging out with the horses for a bit too :) definitely a great place to reset and unwind from city life. Will definitely be coming back!

Great Spot, Nice People but.....

Cabin is very reasonably priced and pretty convenient for the lake. It was however, filthy. Coffee maker never cleaned from last guest and had Stink Bugs in it. Still half full slushy cup in refrigerator. Roaches in bedroom. Charged a cleaning fee for some reason. Also charged a pet fee after the fact by Evolve when I clearly indicated I had a pet when making reservation and paid in full. They charged my card again 2 days later and with no authorization!!! Could be a nice place because of the location but you shouldn’t expect much if you are looking for a clean place to stay.

In town for a Juniata College/Penn State football doubleheader. It was the perfect place to use as a home base!

Bold face lying by evolve

Evolve did not properly describe the place. They outright lied to us about the air-conditioning (that they had it and that it was being repaired). Also, they did not get back to me as promised. Will never again go to a property promoted by evolve.
