Weekend With Friends

This was a great property for a large group with wide age range of kids. The house had everything we needed to have fun and be comfortable, but there were also fun things to do nearby. Kasey was a very responsive and helpful host. We had a great time here and would definitely come back!

Great Girls Getaway

My group of girlfriends booked this house for a weekend trip and it was perfect. The house was perfect for us. It was quite spacious and also private, set off of the main road. The house was stocked with everything we needed. Would definitely recommend for a group of friends or a couple of small families!

Grandbabes loved it

We stayed for 5 days. First few days rainy, but we made the best of it. Once the grandbabes came they didn’t want to leave. There was so much there for them to do. Fireplace was great, house was amazing, kitchen , everything all amazing! The owners were the best ever!!! I prob drive them. It’s with all of my questions. But they answered every single one of them. I highly recommend this house!

Comfortable Stay with Thoughtful Hosting and Family Fun

We had such a memorable stay, comfortable, fun, and full of little discoveries. Kasey was an attentive and kind host, and we really appreciated how thoughtfully he handled everything.The house had a lot of charm and great amenities. We played disc golf in the yard, played table tennis a lot, relaxed in the tree fort with the kids, and introduced them to Jaws in the spacious living room, one of those unexpected moments that turns into a core family memory (we did this only after the experience at Deep Creek, not before haha).The location worked really well for us. Being close to downtown Oakland made it easy to grab coffee at Black Hawk, enjoy a delicious lunch at 206 Alder, take out from Tomanetti's and spend time poking through the local antique shop. Wisp and Deep Creek Lake were both a simple drive away, which gave us plenty of options for exploring.When a hiccup came up, Kasey responded quickly and in a way that felt personal and fair. We left feeling well cared for and grateful we chose this spot.

Perfect Micro Wedding Stay!

A huge thank you to Kasey and Lisa for allowing us to hold our intimate micro wedding of abt 30 people at their home. Everything turned out beautifully! We exchanged vows in front of the fireplace and enjoyed some finger foods after. The kids "wing" of the home (in and above the garage) provided ample entertainment for the children ages 4 to 16. Sleds were even available for them to sled ride! My husband and I continued our stay for our mini honeymoon after the wedding celebration. While we were snowed in due to the winter storm passing through Kasey and Lisa addressed any and all concerns quickly that were caused due to the heavy amount of snow and single digit temperatures. Would highly recommend them and their property for you next get away!

Great House for Family Reunion!

The house was easily able to accommodate us, our three grown children, spouses and kids. The central hangout area was perfect for multiple families. There were smaller spaces to go to get some peace. The hot tub was in great condition. The garage had fun games. The kitchen was fairly well stocked, the house clean, but comfy and worn enough that we were not walking on eggshells. There were lots of games, toys, fun climbing wall, books, for the kids. They loved the bunk beds. The location was remote and peaceful with small woods, but close to town and shops. Our hosts quickly delivered a child gate when we needed and were good communicating. Would definitely visit again, perhaps at a warmer time of year, to take advantage of more outdoor activity, as it was cold at Christmas time. We also enjoyed the fireplace and large dining table for games.

Took a quick little trip out to this house for the weekend and, wow! Great set up for a group of guys looking to have a get together for a few days and unwind. And the host was fantastic. Communication was great and everything from check-in to check-out was easy as could be.
