We loved our stay at Exceeding Expectations. The house has so much to do with the indoor pool, hot tub, game room, multi-level porches, and fire pit for evenings. Laurie was such an attentive and helpful host, and she provided great suggestions for nearby boat rental options. Highly recommend!!!

Our family had a wonderful time at this amazing home. We loved the indoor pool, the hot tub, the game room and all the comfortable bedrooms !! The kitchen was well stocked. We had fun making s’mores at the fire pit. We spent a lot of time on the back deck BBQing and enjoying the scenery. This house is so close to Deep Creek Lake Beach. We had a great day at Swallow Falls and the kids loved the Rock maze!! Thank you for allowing us to rent your home for our family vacation

This house was gorgeous and perfect for our large group of adults and kids (teenagers and babies). Everything was really clean, convenient and comfortable. There was so much space and plenty of amenities on each level of the house. The host was fantastic - super responsive and did everything to ensure we had a great stay. Loved this home and can't wait to stay again sometime soon!

It would be an absolute pleaure to welcome you back when you are ready! I So appreciate how easy you made it to ensure a great weekend for all…so enjoyed getting to know you :)
We had an amazing stay at this house—it was perfect for families! The pool, hot tub, and pool table were a huge hit with everyone and kept both kids and adults entertained the entire time. The location was great too, with just a short walk down to the lake, which made it easy to enjoy the water and beautiful views. In the evenings, we loved gathering around the outdoor fire pit to relax and spend time together. This home truly had everything we needed for a fun, comfortable, and memorable family vacation. Highly recommend!

This is our second time staying at Exceeding Expectations. The house is excellent for large groups. The kids enjoyed the lower floors with lots of games and activities. The pool and hot tub were wonderful for fun after skiing. The kitchen and living areas are large and can fit lots of people comfortably. And the owner went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed.

We had a wonderful time for the 19 of us. There were plenty of things for the children to do in the home.; they loved the pool. We all appreciated the bon fire outside while the weather permitted; plenty of wood. Day trips to the nearby State Park provided hiking and just enjoying the beautiful outdoors.

Thank you Linda for being the considerate and kind guest that you are! It makes me very happy to hear that the whole family enjoyed your Thanksgiving celebration in Exceeding Expectations :)
I hope you will stay again in the future …have a wonderful holiday season.
We get together every year for a week. Family members from around the country. This place was perfect we could all have meals at the table together. The kitchen was big enough for 3-4 of to put the meals together. The kids had room to play through out the house. The Poll be covered and inside ment if we had a rainy day it became a pool day.
Thank you for the memories!!!

Hi Donald,
It always makes me smile to hear that we were able help our guests make wonderful memories together!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. We are here to welcome you back when you are ready!
The house was awesome. Plenty of bedrooms (6 bedrooms) for our group of 13. We appreciated the fact that each bedroom had it's own private bathroom. The huge dining table, which could accommodate everyone at one time, allowed us many opportunities for quality family time. Home was clean & well maintained. Our favorite feature was the heated indoor pool. Kids played there for hours. Outside, the ground was covered in snow. Deers wandered by often. The pool water was delightfully warm. The room itself was also comfortably warm for those parents that watched from the lounge chairs. Hosts quickly responded to our questions. Overall, I would highly recommend this home for a large group. We enjoyed everything the home offered during the Winter season and hope to revisit during the Summer or Fall to make use of the other amenities available.

Thank you So much for those lovely words! It was an absolute pleasure from the start and throughout your stay…
It makes me so happy that you and your family has such a wonderful time :)
I would love to welcome you back!
I was very pleased with this home. Any questions I had before or during our stay were answered promptly. The house was clean and stocked with the items that they had promised. There was a bathroom for every bedroom so our families didnt have to share. The indoor pool worked out great due to the rain we had during our stay. It was a beautiful neighbor hood with lots of wildlife to observe. Although the neighbors may appear to be close, all of the trees and foliage made it feel very private. Plenty to do for all age ranges. Lots of amazing restaurants. I would love to plan a trip again for next year!

Wonderful Anniversary Celebration!
Exceeding Expectations was the perfect place to gather our entire family with spouses and grandchildren to celebrate our 50th Anniversary. The house was big enough to accommodate us all, allowing plenty of space for both together time and privacy. The Weather wasn't the greatest the week we were there so everyone loved having the pool especially the toddlers, and our teens organized arcade and foose ball contests among families. The kitchen is well equipped and the property is well located for sight seeing and taking advantage of local attractions. The owner Laurie C. Is a delight to work with and the staff at Railey Homes was attentive and responsive to any and all questions or needs. Highly recommend this home for any vacation you may be planning.
The host was amazing...very attentive if we needed her for something before our stay and during. The house was very nice and we all loved having our own full bathrooms! The kitchen could have been stocked more and with updated pots, pans, serving trays and mixing bowls. The pool was huge and when we needed it warmer, they made it warmer and it was amazing. Only issue was the lighting in the evening. There needs to be better lighting in the hall leading to the pool, in the pool area and a light in the pool itself. It was hard to keep track of the littles when they were in the water. And the hot tub could've been a little bigger. For the amount of people this house sleeps, the hot tub was on the small side. But overall it was a very nice stay!
Our family does an annual vacation including grandparents, kids, cousins and friends. Finding that “just right” location for a large group isn’t always easy. Well…we found it here! From the at-home feel of the great room to the cozy comfort of the bedrooms this home (more than just a house) gave us a place to relax, refresh and create summer memories.
Some things we just loved: the indoor pool, the supersized dining room table, the natural light through the windows, and I can’t forget the lighted steps!
Laurie was an amazing host! She was so attentive, helpful and caring. We had one issue and she was understanding and caring and attentive.
Deep Creek 2023 Family Vacation was a huge success!

Hi Sue, I am so happy to hear that you and your family had a wonderful Summer Vacation in Exceeding Expectations!
I knew early on that you have such a warm and engaging personality and that coordinating with you would be so easy and it was :)
Thank you again for your incredible level of communication from beginning throughout …even after your trip. I look forward to welcoming you back when you are ready!
We planned for a group of 12 adults to spend a long weekend at this rental. We booked it because it had an indoor pool (how cool?!), a hot tub, plenty of communal, and each bedroom had at least a queen sized mattress and its own bathroom! It’s often difficult to find such amenities when traveling with just couples and Exceeding Expectations hit a home run!
The kitchen was stocked with all of the basic cookware you could need. There were two large refrigerators as well as two ovens, which worked wonderfully for a large group.
The bedrooms were all very spacious and the common areas were as well. There is more than enough room to spread out or find a quiet place for some alone time. It would easily accommodate a few more people as well!
The host, Laurie was incredibly attentive, kind, and very responsive when we had a few minor hiccups during our stay. She was the icinig on the cake of the entire experience!
We will 100% be back to this rental in the future for family or friend trips!

Exceeding Expectations definitely lives up to its name
Good old Mother Nature was sending us her April showers limiting our outdoor activities however your home provided us with so much to do - we never really needed to step outside.
The kitchen was great. The two refrigerators were full and we prepared and shared some awesome and memorable meals made better by your oversized dining table allowing us to eat together - reminiscing for hours about the decades of memories we have been blessed to share as parents, children, cousins and in-laws.
Our competitive and coaching side came out - as we all used the pool table and foosball table for hours of laughs and competitive fun. At the end of our days we played a few rounds of volley ball in the swimming pool and then relaxed in the hot tub.
Thank you on behalf of our entire family for a wonderful weekend and new memories added to the archives of our life’s journey. To quote one of the youngest cousins, “We had a blast!”
As we said our goodbyes on Sunday morning everyone was saying, (We should do this again same place same time next year.” My husband and I are thinking about it - I may be calling to book again for April 2017.
Thanks for the memories.
We had a large family aging from 10-84. Things that impressed us: Alarm on the pool - we were concerned about keeping on eye on the 10 year old - he loves to swim; Each bedroom had its own bathroom-with extras on each floor; plenty of room for everyone to spread out and either play in the game room or nap on the couch. We had a plumbing issue and within a brief time a repairman was on site and had it fixed (on a holiday weekend). Pool/Spa people came every day to check chemistry and cleanliness. McDonald’s and a Dollar General Market 1 mile away.

Thank you so much for your lovely review of our home! What a pleasure it has been-and so happy that you and your family enjoyed…Hope to welcome you back :)
The place is really nice the owner Mike and Laurie are so easy to contact. We know that they have property management, we got confuse with the check out time, VRBO is 12pm but to Railey is 10 AM I sent an email to clarify it but no response called them too the same, the garbage bin is almost full when we got there, good thing there is someone to answer me where to put it. Our stay is really amazing, aside from the part contacting the property mngr

I really appreciate you letting me know about the check out time confusion. Off Season, I can usually offer a complimentary early check-in and/ or complimentary late check-out. My apologies, that the 10am Summer check-out was not made clearer, as well as you not being able to reach my management company right away. That is not typical.
The trash service was contacted, (twice a week pick up should have started already), thank you for the heads up.
It was a pleasure coordinating with you. Please know you are welcome back with a VIP discount and our cell numbers available for you, if we can help enhance your stay in any way.
