Beautiful vacation home

This was our first family vacation and this spot was perfect for our young family. Our dog enjoyed playing in the yard and going for walks in the area. The hot tub was a great space to unwind at the end of the day. We were very pleased with the space.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

The Pando Cabin was so cozy and charming. We loved every detail from the big back porch, interior design(great attention to every detail), and fenced in yard for our dog. It was the perfect set-up for a dog. The location was off the beaten path, but not too far from town. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

Great stay at Pando Cabin!

Loved the cabin and its location! The cabin is beautiful and cozy. It is located only 10 minutes from downtown Murphy, but it is absolutely quiet and relaxing. The owners are dog friendly, which I very much appreciated. It took my dog a day or so to get used to the yard being on a hill, but he did. I very much hope to stay there again in the future!!

It was a beautiful cabin nestled in the woods. Clean and lots of options for sitting and enjoying coffee or a cocktail.The only thing would have been to know where extra paper towels and toilet paper were without searching and feeling like we were invading privacy! Highly recommend!

The get away

The location was amazing, it’s just what the wife and I needed for our busy life style. It was close enough for us to travel and walk the caverns in the mountains and hike, and the hot tub was perfect to relax the muscles when we were done, it was quiet and comfortable. We look forward to renting again to bring our children with us.

Comfortable and quiet

Pando Cabin was very comfortable, quiet, and well stocked. We didn’t do much cooking but the kitchen seemed to have anything we would have needed. Living on an island on the coast of South Carolina where the elevation goes from sea level to 20’ above sea level the drive to Murphy and up to the cabin was both fun (for me) and terrifying (for my wife) 🤣

Perfect location!

The property was spotless and so welcoming. The decor and amenities were more than I expected. The contact was Lisa who was the cleaning person and let me say she was excellent! She even helped us find a marina to rent a boat for the day and the marina was amazing! Big thanks to Lisa! The Evolve team was a bit overwhelming, so many emails but not as helpful as they thought they were.

Would definitely return!

Great place to stay - the bedrooms and bathrooms were very roomy. The owners had everything there that we needed to feel comfortable. The deck was great too. My only complaint is that a tree had fallen in the fence and created a large hole, so we couldn’t leave the dogs unattended in the yard, and the yard had a steep slope to it. Hopefully they will fix the fence soon. Otherwise, it was a great stay and I have already recommended it to several friends. It’s also close to town - about 10 minutes.

Very clean and nice

The home is really set up nicely with everything you could need and more. I was especially surprised by the dog blankets available to use on the sofas. A really nice touch. The back yard is a little steep but it is fenced in so if you have a medium or bigger dog it will work just fine. A very small dog (like mine) could easily get through the fence but it really wasn’t an issue for us. Was super cool to see the turkeys walking up the street and along the side yard. Overall we were very pleased and would definitely stay again

Great place for a vacation

The house was exactly as described and well kept up. We arrived after dark and it was raining and foggy so at first we weren't sure if we we at the right place. Once inside we walked around and everything was neat and cleaned. We really enjoyed our stay here. The last night the dishwasher started acting up, and I reached out to the housekeeper who had the owner contact us. He was very apologetic and after describing what it was doing he realized it was needing to be replaced. Not a big concern for us as we had only used a few coffee cups. Other than that it is a great place to stay and we are looking to book again this summer
