This is our third time renting this home. It is a gem nestled in private woods. Perfect for a weekend away with easy access to numerous hiking trails. The large field next to the house is awesome for soccer or yard games to let the kids play and dogs run in between hiking excursions. The home is well maintained and a fully stocked kitchen which is very much appreciated making it simple to cook for a larger group. Looking forward to booking our next trip!

I have been here many times, the recent improvements make it even better…the host was quick to respond to any issues I had, and the place is so lovely and welcoming. I’m so grateful that there are so many thoughtful items to keep from having to bring so much….thank you kelly!

Incredible Weekend Away

This house is nestled back a mile long gravel driveway that abuts state forest, so highly recommend to anyone looking for a secluded get away. There is a large clearing behind the house that brought deer through just about every morning and evening. Dense forest with exceptional foliage this year, surrounding the entire house. The house was extremely clean and cozy. Quick drive (<5 min.) to Herrington Manor State Park and Swallow Falls State Park-a must visit.

This house was amazing! It was beautiful decorated and had spacious rooms. The kitchen was stocked with everything you needed and more. This home is very secluded, which I enjoyed especially if you want to get away from the city. The driveway is gated and a mile long. The scenery of the property is absolutely beautiful with lots of trees and wildlife to view. Another great thing to have is the guest contact. If you need anything or have questions, they get right back to you and make sure you are taken care of. I have gone through several companies to rent vacation homes and I have to say Evolve is the best!! Also this is one of the best houses we have stayed at.
