Incredibly inconsistent communication. The team at Evolve takes forever to reply m, and when they do they tell you to contact another person on the valley. The contact person it’s also hard to reach. We couldn’t access the valley because of a road closure due to a snow storm so we rented a hotel room in Murphy. 24 hs later and without hearing back from them to know if the house would be accessible we decided to head back home. The evolve team said they could refund us the stay, the contact person said that they will “make it right” by allowing us to rent the place later in the season, when we set up a time to book they sent just a link to rent the place at a insignificant discount. When I asked them about honoring what they promise they stopped replying completely. They left us in the dark twice.

condo was hard to find in the woods if coming at night, be sure to bring a good flashlight. also be wary of skiing down. check with ski patrol as sometimes conditions as you get closer to the condos are not well maintained and limited coverage it can be dangerous for those with intermediate or beginner level skills.

It's a nice house in the village. It's great to ski down to the ski shuttle, and be up on the slopes 15 minutes later. It was tough to pull our utility sledges up when we checked in. We knew it was on a closed road, and that one could get a snowmobile taxi ride, but that was tricky to schedule, and we figured we'll just bring utility sledges and we're good. We didn't think it's all uphill when you check in ... that was some good evening exercising. The house is a bit odd, quite narrow and vertical, with the kitchen and dining/living combo on the top 3rd floor. But the kitchen was recently renovated, and they had repainted the cabinets, which made it a pleasant stay. The appliances were all very new, I think we were the first to use the crockpot. The kitchen is very narrow and not easy to navigate if more than one person works, but other than that it's very good equipped, and had an impressive amount of bbq rubs and spices in all-new containers. Also great were the boot warmers!

I will begin by saying we loved the place. It was near a cabin owned by our family, who was also in Bear Valley the same weekend. You cannot drive to the cabin in the winter, but our family next door had a side-by-side on tracks and took great care of us. If you are on your own, I recommend renting a snowmobile for the entire stay. Just taking the garbage out to the community trash area would be a trek. The 'sled' provided was very small and would not have worked for transporting clothes/food/drinks into the cabin. I was surprised at the number and steepness of the stairs inside the home. As our children are both young adults and we do not have any mobility issues, there was not a problem, but had we had young children or any knee/hip issues it would have been a long 4 days. Kitchen was well stocked, bedrooms comfortable, and the view from the top floor living area was beautiful. The snowboard/ski/boot storage area was amazing. It was pricey, but it was the holiday season.
