Was a very clean place to stay and loved that it was dog friendly. Great parking and hot tub was awesome to have. Felt very comfortable and at home. A few things around the cabin may need upgrade/fixed: the couch needs replaced middle seat is broken down. The back patio needs a board drilled down it's sticking up and I tripped on it. Only downside to vacation was a home across the street was being demolished/renovated and the workers started at 630am, so sleeping in was not in the cards.Beautiful place and would love to stay again. The family had a great time and everything was only a few minutes away. No lake access but a view of the lake.

Best Trip Ever

The cabin was perfect for our family. It was very clean. Great location. From my 10 year old son: “I got to try paddle boarding go for the first time and I loved it! All the people were nice! The food was like it was from Gordon Ramsay!”

We had a relaxing time here. It was just my husband and I and our dogs. The check in/out process was easy. The proximity to the lake was awesome. The parking is limited if you had multiple cars. We didn’t need to use ac or heat, just the ceiling fans and using the screen doors since the weather was pretty neutral.

Great Place!

We really enjoyed our stay at Happy Landing! The check in and check out process went smoothly. The property was very clean and fit 6 people comfortably. The home was decorated nicely and the place felt very cozy overall. It was also a fantastic location being close to just about everything you could want in the deep creek area! We would absolutely stay here again. Thank you for a great girls trip!

Winter Getaway

Had a nice stay at Happy Landing. Very close to Wisp and the amenities that McHenry has to offer. The home had comfortable furnishings with a well appointed kitchen and the hot tub was lovely! Don’t forget to bring your own trash bags/laundry/dishwasher detergent as the management company provides the minimal possible amount of each.

Perfect for family of 4weekend in snow

This was a great house for a long weekend tubing and trekking through swallow falls in the snow. Still decorated for Christmas it was warm and cozy. Only issue was having 4 pairs of wet boots and a small entryway we were trying not to step on the carpet so another mat or rag towel would be good. Overall excellent in location and price.

Family weekend getaway

Great place for a weekend with our teenagers. At the foot of Wisp and close drive to everything in McHemry. Everyone had their own bathrooms. Loved the hottub. Decorated beautifully for the holidays. We would love to return again. Would give it a five except the fireplace didn’t work when we got there but it was fixed the next morning.

Very relaxing and quiet location. Great scenery

Easy to reserve. Company communication was excellent. Cleaning was poor. Dirty cobwebs everywhere. Kitchen floor dirty. Little more lighting and seating area was small in the fire ring area needed.

Perfect home for winter fun!

My family, including 5 kids, really loved our stay at Happy Landing! We enjoyed snowtubing, snowboarding, and a horsedrawn sleighride in nearby Oakland. It was the perfect place to have as a homebase, especially for visiting Wisp. We loved the hot tub in the evenings. The area got nearly 20 inches of snow while we were staying, and we were impressed by how quickly the roads were treated and how well they were maintained. The neighbors are also lovely. Our dog really liked the place too (such a nice touch to have dog bowls available in the kitchen!) We weren't able to figure out how to turn on the gas fireplace, but we didn't try very hard. We have nothing bad to say about this wonderful home and property and look forward to visiting again!

Girls Trip

My girl friends and I were needing a little trip away for a few days and we came across this gem. This was the perfect size for the 4 of us, even with 2 having to share one of the rooms. It was clean, and had all the basics thag you could need. The hot tub was great, the location was perfect - although I will say the photo of the house showing how close you are to the tuning was deceiving. We thought we could walk right through the back yard to the tubing hill and we were a lkttle disappointed to see a fence and massive hill. The only way to walk to the tubing at Wisp is down the road - which would be about 10-15 minutes.There were a lot of thermostats which made the temperature inconsistent throughout the house but we managed and got everything right based on the instructions that were left for us.All in all the place was great.

Great property

I rented via HomeAway which I DON’T recommend at all. Rent via Raleys vacation rentals instead. HomeAway has conflicting information regarding checkout time and process. The home. My friends and I stayed there several years back before they put an addition on which added another full bath and bedroom. It’s in a great location, was very clean, kitchen stocked with all cooking utensils needed. The twin beds aren’t comfortable but the other two beds were fine. You are close to neighbors and with the new homes built in the other side of the road, a once fantastic lake view no longer exists. I did see a black bear walking down by the lake when I took an early morning walk with my dog. That was a surprise. A bit scary but obviously everything worked out as I’m writing this review. ; ) When we stayed before there were no directions on how to start the fire place. This time there were directions but we still couldn’t get it lit. Saw the pilot light spark so not sure if owner pays for gas or not. However, the owner has created a really nice fire pit area so we just used that. If you’re looking for a place out in the country away from things, this is not it. So much traffic on the road in front of house you can’t sit outside, even in the dark of night, and just listen to the sounds of nature because of all the traffic. The home is close to shopping and dinning and wisp. I would definitely stay here again whenever I planned to come to deep creek. I rated communication with property manager a one (1) star because system made me rate it. I’d have chosen N/A if that was an option for I didn’t speak to any person for reserving, checking in or checking out.

What a nice place to get away

We had a wonderful time at Happy Landing. The house had a well stocked kitchen that made preparing our meals a breeze. It was i. The middle of all the parks we wanted to see. My family and I enjoyed the fire pit. Thank you for being our home away from home for our Maryland getaway.
