A Great View

The views from this property were amazing. The house was very clean and spacious for our family. Deer would make an appearance on a daily basis. We were lucky enough to get a little bit of snow which made the view that much better. We enjoyed the gas firepit on the porch and spent hours just enjoying the view. We would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful

It was so peaceful! Waking up daily with the Mountain View was simply amazing. Seeing the deer and bunnies on the front lawn was fun to enjoy. Parking was difficult as the road to get around to the front of house was very narrow for our suv but overall still very beautiful.

Cozy relaxing vibes

We enjoyed High Gravity so much! The views were so cozy and the front porch was perfect to just sit and take it all in. Evolve team really made our stay so easy and enjoyable. Everything worked as we wanted. They had propane tanks provided for the grill and the tabletop firepit which was great to just grill on the porch and sip some coffee/hot cocoa by the tabletop fire pit. The porch speakers were an absolute bonus. The upstairs room was the perfect space for the kids to have their own space. All kitchenware was great and had everything we needed. Place was clean and just as pictured! Check in and out was super easy. Absolutely would recommend staying here!

Nascar Playoffs with Buddies

This place was excellent! We stayed for 5 days and had a blast!! The amount of space in the House was incredible. Large bedrooms with really comfortable beds. The views from the back porch were incredible, quiet and the weather was terrific. Everything you need in Town was only 10 minutes away. Cooked on the grill several times, made meals in the fully stocked kitchen, and ate out several times at some great restaurants in town. Ready to book again next year!!

Relaxing setting

We enjoyed the property very much. It was just as presented on the website. We especially enjoyed the pastoral setting. The only negative thing I can say is that the driveway was a little too narrow and hard to negotiate for my full-size truck.

The View was amazing

Property was very secluded with a great view. House has very good bones and the location is perfect. Super quiet neighborhood and beds were quite comfortable. Nice enough outdoor space. Jetted tub in the master was wonderful! Overall I would give it a 4 out of 5 but it could be a 5 with a few updates and a little TLC. The check in process was a little "wacky" as the key code didn't work at all. We called someone from the "evolve" team but never got a response. One of the things we like about VRBO is typically we deal with the owner of the property but apparently "Evolve" is more of a property manager. It just was not the same pleasant experience that we have come to expect from VRBO.
