Great location, nice dock, perfect deck, house was as described and clean. Basement humidity high due to dehumidifier pump not working, so had damp-musty smell. Manually emptied it several times during the stay. Overall, great property, just what we needed!

Great stay with all the snow!

The property was very well maintained while we visited even with all the snow- stairs were shoveled, driveway was plowed. House was clean. Heaters for colder areas of the house were provided ie basement. Kitchen was fully stocked with anything you would need with the exception of seasonings- salt etc. hot tub was great and ready to use! Great set up for two families with a total of 5 kids! Everyone had a blast!

Not perfect, but still 5 stars!

No property is perfect. This one had a few drawbacks. But the benefits FAR outweigh the drawbacks, which is why I’m still rating it so highly. Drawbacks: busy road & busy part of the lake made some of our outdoor time noisy, backyard was equal parts mud and grass (perhaps due to recent rain?) so be careful because it can be slippery, Wi-Fi was a bit clunky when someone wanted to stream a movie, but our family members had no problem using the Wi-Fi to get work doneBenefits: great room and kitchen were very spacious, wonderfully-equipped kitchen, plenty of beds with decent mattresses, 3 full bathrooms, easy walk from back of house down to dock, great deck WITH A GATE to keep in dogs or kids, hot tub operated perfectly, as did all indoor appliances, very easy and quick access to stores, restaurants, state parks, and pretty much everywhere we wanted to go, neighborhood across the street good for walking dogs, games and puzzles available, quick and satisfactory communication with realty company

Great House, Not My Fave Property Management Experience

BLUF: House is great but property mgmt experience was not my fave. House: Great location, closest to water we have had in Deep Creek, pool table, air hockey, and hot tub are delightful, kitchen is fully stocked, etc. Only caveat is the first night pipes or heater or something in the walls made a banging noise from 11:30pm-12:30am but this did not repeat which was nice. Property Management: We've used Railey Vacations before but this time felt a little much. I booked everything through my phone and thought we were set and a day later noticed a couple emails in my inbox stating "Your reservation will be canceled today, unless this document is completed in order to secure your booking." I freaked out and tried to complete the paperwork through my phone but it was too complex to do so so had to wait until the next day when I had computer access. I sent a message to Railey saying I needed more time and they granted it, which was great, but the amount of info required for the booking, including having to ask adult friends I am not super close with how old they are felt weird (and something I haven't had to do for other rentals). Despite getting the paperwork in the next day I continued to receive emails saying my reservation would be canceled unless I did "X", so I was just on and off stressed until our trip. Also, this is my bad, but checkout was 10am with no late checkout option, which made for an unnecessarily early last morning. Will likely use a different company next time.

Hi Hillary! We appreciate you taking the time out to leave us with your feedback. Our Travel Party list is in place for a multitude of reasons. The main reason, in which this list will benefit you as well, is that if you’ve accepted the travel insurance and need to make a claim for any reason, the travel insurance company may only cover those members that are listed on your travel party list in a claim. This list is also in place to ensure our travelers are not planning a vacation larger than the capacity of the home they’ve rented. The maximum occupancy of a home is determined by the county licensing authority and we must ensure this limit is enforced. We ask that you please abide by the maximum occupancy number for the home you’ve rented at all times. We would also like to mention that for the timeline/ cancellation policy you will get a 1st notice, a 2nd notice, and a final/cancellation notice. Those can be very close together based on the timeline we need the data. Contracts are due within 48 hours after booking; and unfortunately we can’t hold a property off the market longer than 48 hours without potential financial loss (ex. if a guest were to decide to cancel their stay closer to arrival because we didn’t do our due diligence to ensure contracts were signed). Once the contract is signed and the first payment is successful, we typically won’t send another email until closer to arrival when a final payment is due, and their arrival details are ready. We sincerely apologize for any confusion or frustration caused and we do hope that we can have another opportunity to rent to you again in the future to provide a better rental experience overall. Madison, Railey Vacations

Perfect getaway for Birthday celebration.

Nice common areas. Very spacious and nice bedrooms. Very large well equipped kitchen. Great deck and right on the lake. Very nice hot tub. There is limited parking at top of hill so requires 4WD when there is snow.

7 adults- plenty of room! Kitchen well stocked! Hot tub awesome!

Great communication with the property company. Had an issue with the pool table and they sent someone right out on Christmas Eve! We cooked 6/7 nights- and kitchen was awesome! You do have to bring all of your spices, and only one rack in the oven. But plenty of pots/pans, griddle, dishes etc. Keurig and regular coffee pot. Nice sheets and bedding! Bring wood for the fire pit. Hot tub was clean, and AMAZING! The VIEW-STUNNING! Pictures are accurate!
