Didn’t Even Get to Stay Here
We arrived late on the first day of our booking to a dirty house. All of the bedding was dirty on the floor. All of the towels were dirty on top of the washing machine. I called the host and left a voicemail. We had to stay in a hotel that night. I called again the next morning and sent photos of the dirty house to the host and never received a response. Luckily the property management company answered and provided us with a refund and we were lucky enough to find another house for the rest of our vacation. DO NOT BOOK THIS HOUSE.

Cozy downtown stay
It was a great weekend in Salida! The location was perfect for our mountain biking adventures. The floor plan was a little curious with the master bedroom being between the bathroom and every other room but it all worked out well for us. We really enjoyed this house!

Dirty, Dingy and Overgrown
A mix-match of old furniture, dust in every room with large clumps in BR (and hair clippings in some areas), and an overgrown yard front and back (I had to wade through tall grass and weeds to get to front door upon arrival and every trip back and forth to my car). Ironically, 1 of the house rules was that I was to leave the grounds as they were (I did). The guest instructions were obtuse and left out important information, such as how to work the appliances. Guests needed to go online to get routine information. The experience was symbolically summed up in the cup of stale grounds in the folgers coffee can. On a scale of 1-10 in comparison to the many vacation rentals I've experienced I'd rate this property a 2.5.

Great Downtown Location
This place is a great location and walking distance to all things downtown. It was roomier than expected. Personal parking in the back is great and convenient. Everything was very clean and easy to use. Plenty of space to sleep 6 adults if needed. It was a little hot at night, a fan would have been nice. But other than that everything was great and we would stay here again!

Great time and location
Loved this little place! Great location, super comfortable beds. Kitchen setup attractive and functional. Loved the back alley and fire pit. A couple issues/suggestions: Rattan rug in living room is torn, slippery and it was a nuisance to open the doors over it. A fall hazard for sure. Dryer did not work and could not find instructions. There was opened food/snacks left from previous tenants Can you put instructions on using the shower? More blankets please! Again we loved it and will be back! Thank you!

No bedding or clean towels and dirty!
We arrived an hour after check-in and none of the beds had bedding. One bed had all of the dirty bedding piled on it from the previous guests. A pile of dirty towels were on the bathroom floor. The pullout couch was still open. The place was dirty. We called the # provided for guest services and never did hear back from them. Contacted VRBO, they passed us on to Evolve. We were told the property would be cleaned and ready in two hours. We came back 3 hours later and no one had been there, nothing had changed. At 7:30 pm we had to find a hotel in a popular tourist town. We finally found something out on the Hwy. which was not where we were wanted to be located.

Not as listed
1st off the location is 10/10 & they had board games we enjoyed playing as a family. However, I’m not sure if the owner has dogs & stays when people aren’t renting or if someone is staying there that isn’t supposed to be staying there, but there’s dog hair everywhere. The listing says “no pets” & people might book this rental who are allergic to certain animals thinking they won’t be dealing with dog hair or cat hair… wrong!! Lol there’s also dog poop everywhere in the front yard & back yard. Yum! The toilet and bathtub leak so that’s fun. Make sure to lay a couple towels down under the tub to shower/bathe because the floor will flood. The microwave above the stove doesn’t work. I’m assuming that’s why they have a little blue microwave on the kitchen counter… it also sucks. We had to light the stove to get it to work. I called Jennifer (property manager) days before my arrival to ask her what it meant in the listing when it said “fully stocked pantry” seeing as how I’d be staying there with my immediate family over Thanksgiving. I informed her that I would be making a huge Thanksgiving meal & wanted to know the details of the kitchen. She said there’s no food there, but I would have everything I need to cook. I voiced my concerns about the negative reviews I read because I wasn’t smart & looked at the reviews AFTER I booked. She said we would love it, that it was clean, and I’d have everything I need to prepare a thanksgiving meal. LOL there were a number of skillets but only 1 cooking pot so I had to cook almost everything 1 by 1, & light the stove when I needed to use it which took many tries. I wish I would have brought my vacuum because the carpet in the living area is filthy. I doubt it’s ever been vacuumed seeing as how there isn’t a vacuum available. There was dog hair/cat hair in all the corners of the home & under all the tables/on carpet. I did bring cleaning spray/sponges/disinfectant wipes after reading the reviews & I’m glad I did. The tub needed scrubbed & I also found a used razor under the tub. Mmm yummy! The lights in the backyard didn’t work and that’s where we had to park. There’s no street lights in the alley in the backyard either. So if you want to be able to see at night I would ask them to replace the light bulb's. The bed in the bedroom is extremely uncomfortable. It’s a hard mattress with a foam topper but the foam topper is too small for the bed so it’s super uncomfortable to sleep on. No tv in the bedroom.

Clean home but needs some love
The home was clean and tidy when we entered. We quickly discovered that the shower was non-functional, with one of the components on the floor under the bath. We chose to fix this ourselves, as the property manager had not responded in a timely fashion to previous messages, prior to our arrival. The drawers in the kitchen fell out upon opening - they were not properly installed on the runners, so we also fixed this ourselves. The kitchen itself could use some attention: no scissors, no wine glasses, and no small saucepan to make soup. The worst offender was the back yard / driveway - overgrown with weeds and loose tree limbs, and covered in cigarette butts and trash. Overall, it was our view that the property manager could spend a little more time inspecting the property and fixing obvious issues.

Most awkward award goes to this place
The location is great, about 100 feet to Tres Litros brewing and a block from the river. The house is beyond weird. All of the men in our group were too tall to stand in the kitchen, the outside is overgrown and covered in dog poo, the house layout is crazy. The bedroom is actually a hallway with doors, you have to walk through the bedroom to go from the living area to the kitchen. The bathroom is off of the bedroom as well, so let's just call it what it is... a hallway. There is one window air conditioning unit in the middle living area and it is not functional to cool the entire space. The plug in fans didn't work and the property manager did nothing when I requested help and told her the fans were broken. It was blazing hot inside of this place. The bathroom has a sliding barn door (minimal privacy) with no lock, massive claw foot tub and a broken small window that looks straight into the hostel next door. Who should book this rental? People under 5'9" tall and like their rentals dark, hot and amazingly awkward to navigate.

Single dwelling not a family affair
First the place was clean and location was great. That's where it stops. We were lucky to run into the cleaner when we got there as the communication with property manager/owner was awful. We never received any instructions on how to get into property and again not sure how we would have gotten in if not for the cleaner. We requested more towels as they only had two and they never showed up even after confirmation manager would drop off. Property is laid out very strange as you have to go through main bed room to access bathroom. Would only recommend for couple but not for family or multiple people.

Like the house and location. But there was a fence down making it almost impossible to get from the back of the house to the front. Very clean inside but from the outside it looked like it had been vacant for a year due to lack of landscaping maintenance

Terrible property manager! Wasn’t cleaned!
Hmmm where should I start...first want to say Jennifer is a terrible property manager. She is not responsive at all! I made the mistake of not looking to see if they had A/C prior to booking, when I realized that there was not going to be A/C over the 96 degree weekend we were staying there with an 8 month old, I checked out the reviews during the summer months to see what people said. Many people mentioned no window coverings. I was concerned about this so I contacted Jennifer, she never responded to me. I then had to take my time to get in touch with evolve so they could get her to call me back, which she did, 3 days later. The place ended up being pretty hot, I wouldn’t book it during the summer months unless you are able to sleep in 80 degree heat. The place is cute and updated nice looking kitchen and bathroom. The coffee maker is really nice. What was extra terrible and gross was that the sheets had sand in them (clearly wasn’t cleaned) and the towels were in the wash dirty so we only had three hand towels between myself, my husband and my 8 month old daughter. I text Jennifer to let her know and she said she would drop some off ASAP and would contact her employee about the issue. Jennifer NEVER dropped the towels off. I again had to take my time to contact evolve so they could contact Jennifer so she would drop off towels, which she did do, 19 hours after she said she would drop them off ASAP. Jennifer made this property look terrible! And given that COVID is going on, I would expect it to be scrubbed clean between guest (because I have a baby I bring disinfectant wipes most places with me and was able to wipe down touch surfaces). I am just glad that we brought our own pillows. On Sunday when I returned home. Jennifer text me and said she wanted to chat about my experience and refund me the cleaning fee, she asked when a good time to talk was. I let her know I was free on Monday. She never text back and never called. I did get a refund but was for only half of what the cleaning fee was. I have been vacationing through home vacation rentals for YEARS only way I travel and I always have a fantastic experience, probably because I book premier partners and 4+ star locations. This experience doesn’t meet the expectations of a primer partner or 4+ stars. I will never book this property again... keep looking there are other properties out there just make sure Jennifer doesn’t “manage” it.

What a wonderful property and location! We were traveling with 4 teens and we all had a great time! Slopes shut down so we weren't able to ski but we ended up hiking and visiting the Royal Gorge! What a beautiful area and location. The only problem we had is we verbally agreed to cancel our 3rd night since we couldn't ski. Still waiting on the refund for that. Otherwise everything was perfect!
