Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

This is a great place to stay for family gathering...
This is a great place to stay for family gatherings, there is ample space for everyone. There were quite a few bugs around the house, some dead and others alive which could have been cleaned up prior to guests arriving. Various other rentals offer shampoo/conditioner/body wash but this rental didn’t have that. We weren’t able to locate any extra trash bags so after the first one filled up we had to purchase more. The location is quite remote and there isn’t any cell signal. The Direct TV service wasn’t functional, which should be checked. There is one side of the house that is older and the heating in that part wasn’t functioning so it got very cold at night. Would be a great property for the summer months when the pool is functional. The beds were very comfortable which was really great since most other rentals have old beds and not enough bedding.

The rooms were very engaging. My daughter-in-law was charmed. We had lots of indoor places in which to play. The pool in the backyard was great for adults & children during the warm summer!

The main issue was No Water Pressure for the first day. I had to spend a good part of my vacation day working with the plumber to get some water pressure. By the end of the day, we did get some water pressure, but nothing that would allow for more than one shower going at a time. The water pressure never reached a normal level.Also, there are many power outlets not working in the house. Especially in the bathrooms.

Sweet Place But in need of TLC
We arrived at 5024 Leeds Manor Road Hume, Va with all the excitement built up from over a year of being locked down from a pandemic. When we pulled into the driveway, we were a little taken back by the landscape of the estate. The pictures on the EVOLVE site showed a totally different picture. Very misleading upon entrance.
We start to question the cost of our stay and the lengthy conversations we had with EVOLVE people about the cost. As you read below, I am not sure the cost out ways the benefits? Yes the space was great, the house is beautiful, It is in disrepair and the cost is too high for the problems /misrepresentation it has.
So, we open the house and the cottage by the pool to see what was in store for us. We were very excited to finally be here. We unpack our items and start to relax and figure out how the estate works. To our dismay we start to find many issues start to arise that we were not expecting. We had notes in baskets that state to use the black face towels for make up removal, so not to stain the white towels for bathing. Most baskets with this note did not have the black face cloths to use. Why a note and no towel to use.
I was surprised to see a note on the main stove that the oven is not usable. Really? We used the double wall oven, and the lower oven has a mind of its own. Temperature works when it wants to. Shutting off and on.
Many light switches do not turn on items. There was a garbage disposal in one of the kitchen sinks that did not operate unless you used the plunger to assist the drainage of water.
Many outlets in the main house are not working in the bathrooms. After 2 days we find out it is a tripped circuit breaker. Many hours searching and looking for the cause.
In the 3 ring binders for the main house on how to operate TV’s, the remotes do not actually work for the TV’s. One remote is damaged. Plus, we could not get the Google Home application to work on the TV’s. As stated in the directions.
We found in the Tavern the fireplace which has a gas log, the cord to use was not long enough to reach any outlets in the area so we could use?
The gas log in the meeting room did not work also. So many issues around remote-controlled items that do not work.
A damp kitchen towel was left on the kitchen counter, and it was the attack of the ants. We had to spray and spray to get rid of the ants.
In the bedrooms on the second floor are issues with window shades that do not work.
As for the Cottage by the pool. To use the kitchen sink I had to repair the faucet to my best ability for our use. When trying to operate the faucet would move around on the sink and not turn on. I repaired enough to use for our stay as I was not aware that I needed to be a plumber for this vacation.
We also had to take time out of our vacation for the local communications company to repair the Wi-Fi in the cottage. Not sure why this was not working before our arrival?
There is more detail I am not getting to. Because as you know no one listens to a lengthy crying wolf. This place is in dire need of some TLC. Inside and out.
The area is full of history and beautiful scenery. We very much loved.

Excellent group getaway
Lots of privacy if needed and lots of togetherness as well. Enjoyed by all age groups. A place to go and forget all about life worries. Life is good at this property.

Unique property that has seen better days.
Originally known as The Inn At Vineyards Crossing, this unique property is an original inn from the late 1700s that has been expanded to include more modern buildings. It was apparently a bed and breakfast until recently.
Aside from its interesting history and unique layout, the property had a few highlights, including several large, well furnished bedrooms with their own bathrooms, a private pool, restaurant-caliber stove and a great location in the heart of Virginia wine country.
Unfortunately it appears to have been neglected since its bed and breakfast days. All of the bathrooms had either non-working outlets or broken fans, if not both. Water damage on ceilings was barely painted over. Cracked counters, sticky cabinets and broken appliances detracted from what was otherwise a very charming kitchen. Lawn maintenance was desperately needed as well, with the pool deck mostly unpassable due to overgrowth and an entire outdoor patio area that was completely inaccessible due to runaway weeds and spiderwebs. Oh, and that thing that looks like a hot tub is not a hot tub, just an extension of the pool that you have to pay (a lot) extra to kind of/sort of heat. Finally, the sitting/gathering areas could use some furniture that makes you want to sit and gather, not grandma's uncomfortable chairs and a weird podium.
We actually enjoyed our stay for the most part, but the run down state of the place was sharply at odds with the luxury price tag we paid. With a little TLC, I'm sure it could be a lovely vacation rental again. In its current state, I'd give it 2.5 stars tops. I wish I could post the photos I took to show the general disrepair.

A bit disappointing
Door was locked upon arrival with no instructions as to how to get in. Unable to reach property manager. Overflowing trash on the side of the house when we arrived leaving an odor outside during our entire stay. Other than that house was roomy and pool was nice

Perfect for family reunion
Really wonderful space. Comfortable for everyone. We had a wonderful time and we would definitely book again. Only issue is the cooking supplies in the kitchen. Pans are really pretty gross - and random. And, bring plates and cups for outdoors. There’s only glass or ceramic in the kitchen.

lovely pool setting
The house and grounds need some TLC. Jacuzzi and water fall does not work. The pool cleaner was broken. The jacuzzi that doesn't work was green. A lot of the lights were out and needed light bulbs. Kitchen needs a good scrub down. We enjoyed our stay. If it was managed better and cleaner we would book again.
