Lovely mountain home

The property is beautiful. We loved the deck and great room, as well as being right by the ski lift, even during the summer. Lovely scenery!

Great place and awesome backyard area

We had a great time at Between the timbers. The check in process was very easy and the interior of the house was clean. The back of the house is right up against the ski slope so the backyard was essentially as far as you wanted to go up and down the mountain. Both my daughter and dog loved it! There was a fire pit set up which we used each night. The only issue we had was the cleanliness of the back patio and grill. The back patio and grill weren’t very clean and it appeared that an old rusty fire pit was just laid against the back of the patio. That wasn’t great for kids, dogs, or just general safety. If those are cleaned up I would rate this property 5/5.

Beautiful house, nice community

Overall we loved the house. Loved the layout, the views, etc. Our only negatives were what was provided. Bring everything you might need because there was none (or too little) of the following: TP, paper towels, dish soap, salt and pepper, coffee filters, and garbage can liners. As long as you know that going in, you should be fine! If you like lots of blankets or pillows, I'd suggest extras of those, too. Other than that, though, the house is beautiful and in good shape. If we come back with a similar sized group next time, we'll definitely book again.

We're glad to hear you enjoyed the layout and views of the house, and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Madison, Railey Vacations

Beautiful home

Between the Timbers was awesome.. It had everything you needed for a relaxing & fun weekend. After a fun day doing things from fishing in Deep Creek lake, to hiking & fishing at Swallow Falls to returning to the Timbers for a relaxing evening of grilling dinner and sitting around the camp fire roasting marshmallows or relaxing in the hot tub. The dusk walks along the ski slopes. One evening just after closing up after using the hot tub ; we had a little black bear visit the yard. My grandsons thought that was so neat. We never saw him again. There was plenty of room for the 8 of us, had excellent TV & Wi-Fi reception , the bedrooms were very spacious, comfortable and beautifully decorated. The upstairs master bedroom even had a balcony looking out over the mountain with a breath taking view of the sky. Having 3 bathrooms, 2 equipped with bathtubs & a separate shower was great. The owner have thought about everything for you to have a wonderful weekend. We are keeping the Between the Timbers as a place we'd rent again .
