We stayed here for my mom's 80th Birthday celebration. She loved it! The property was beautiful and everyone had enough room to enjoy themselves. The kitchen is well stocked and large enough for many cooks. We enjoyed fishing off the dock, the hot tub and the pool table. Never even turned on a TV. The leaves were just starting to turn - so we had lovely views from our bedrooms! Check in and out was a breeze. We are already planning a trip back to St. Barts in Deep Creek! Thank you!

We loved staying in this clean and spacious home!

The house was perfectly clean upon arrival. The kitchen had more then enough supplies, and the two refrigerators and two dishwashers were so helpful to have given that we had four families sharing the house. We had plenty of room and look forward to visiting again in the future!

Nice place. Everything good except outside upper deck was so covered with leaves and other debris it couldn’t be used. If I had known I could have brought my leaf blower and easily cleaned it in a few minutes.

Great spot for a winter getaway

This is a very beautiful, clean and spacious vacation house that feels like home. We had 10 adults, 2 kids under 5 and a couple of dogs with us and everyone was able to fit with great comfort. The common spaces are incredibly spacious and and beautiful. The dining table is enormous and we were able to get everyone eating together. There are two full size refrigerators and lots of cookware, which made our stay very comfortable. The house is located on the lake and has beautiful views all year around. When we were there the lake was frozen solid but still very beautiful. The hot tub was a lot of fun. The house is about 20 min drive to Wisp ski resort, and under 10 min to a few stores and restaurants for a variety of breakfast, lunch and dinner options. A few of us also ventured out to a few hikes in the area.

Multi- generational Family Gathering at St Bart’s Retreat

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family recently stated at St Bart’s to celebrate my parents’ 60th wedding anniversary (ages 8-86). The house was perfect for a large family, with multiple master bedrooms and equal number of bathrooms. Two refrigerators, two dishwashers and a large square table were indoor highlights. The house was beautiful. The location was convenient to stores but sits on a main channel of the lake which made it challenging for kayaking, especially with young kids. Boat traffics was very heavy on the weekends but lighter during the week, so we were able to paddle to the state park with careful planning and keeping the kids close. Taylor-made staff were responsive to calls when things required attention (dishwasher, septic tank, internet specifically ) and resolved our issues quickly. Cleanliness of the house I would give a B only because some of the blankets and comforters could use a refresh and theire was an empty can found in one of the bedrooms. The house is well lived in but honestly it was a great home for a week sand everyone had a great time with plenty of space to spread out. We would rent here again if we return to the area.

Sketchy start but overall a great time had by all.

Overall this house is great for a large family and we had a really great time exploring the area and tooling around the lake with a rented boat but we were not pleased when we first arrived at 4:30 pm. Our check in time was moved from 4 o’clock - the time listed on our contract - to 5 o’clock just one week prior to our arrival. When we did arrive two cleaning people were still inside the house. They were not ‘just finishing up’ they had JUST arrived! We left for a while and returned around 6 o’clock as the cleaners were leaving. This property has seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms so would take a bit longer than an hour and a half to clean thoroughly. When we went inside it was obvious that they had rushed through the cleaning process. The beds were hurriedly and unattractively made up. Decorative pillows, extra pillows, bed covers and blankets were tossed in unfolded heaps in closets. One of the master bedroom pillow cases actually had a gaping hole and another king bedroom was missing a set of twin sheets entirely but luckily we did not need the extra bed. It was clear that rugs were not vacuumed as there was debris from previous tenants. The kitchen was also hurriedly cleaned. Cabinets were grimy and crumbs were still under toasters. In addition the walls near trash cans were streaked with splattered food. We had to clean the kitchen, frig and walls before we could even unpack our groceries! The dishwashers were quite disgusting and filled with mold. When the maintenance crew came in to take care of it they sprayed the dishwashers with bleach and filled the living space with toxic chlorine fumes - very unpleasant for those of us with chemical sensitivities. The outdoor cushions on the deck chairs were filthy - covered with bird droppings. Cushions sets should be swapped for cleaning between tenants. The hot tub water was hazy and dirty. We were also surprised by the lakeside area. The online photos are a bit deceiving. There is no place to sit by the water (the fire pit is in the parking area not by the lake), no chairs on the dock and the dock is usually pretty rocky because the property sits in a heavily traveled channel of the lake. Elderly family members will find it challenging to navigate the steep and very slippery steps to the dock and will have no place to sit and enjoy the waterfront. Overall, though the management staff was very responsive to our concerns and we had a wonderful time!

Beautiful house. Pretty location, but on a very narrow, very busy part of the lake. We would choose a quieter location, perhaps near the state park. The biggest issues we had were with the management company, Taylor-Made. The first day the garbage disposal in the island developed a significant leak. Called T-M. They sent out a handy man who determined he would have to order a new garbage disposal and would install it after we left. Asked why they could not get one at Lowes. Told us the owner would have to order it. So we were down one disposal and tge dishwasher that was connected to it. A day later the washing machine went out. Again, maintenance could not repair it. So we spent the week without it. The maintenance men are nice guys who show up promptly, but don’t know how to repair anything beyond a leaky faucet. Nice house, but would never rent from Taylor-Made again.

Great house for multi-generations!

Our 4-generation family of 13 spent a week at St. Barts in August. We had one of the best vacations ever! The spacious 7-bedroom house with all the baths worked perfectly. The suites were great for sharing with young toddlers. And the dining table was huge, allowing us all to eat together. While we have some constructive feedback, none of it was a show stopper. House was ready on time and exceptionally clean when we arrived on Saturday. As others have mentioned, the steps to the dock were steep and not usable for our 86 and 92 year old mothers. However, the answer to that was the boat launch at the nearby state park (4 minutes). One of us drove them to the launch and they picked us up there. While there was no beach area at the house, the state park beach was great, though there is a nominal fee associated with it. Access to the hiking trails at the state park was very convenient. Also, the Discovery Center was a nice thing to do with the kids. If you’re looking for a house with a good view of the lake, it’s not this one. While it may be “lakefront,” the area is heavily wooded, which blocked most of the lake. Also, the house is at the central part of the lake, so there was a lot of boat traffic in the area for most of the day. As for the house itself, the hot tub could have been cleaner, and the gas grill was grimy, especially underneath where the tanks were. Looked like the grease had overflowed the basin at some point and spilled onto the gas tanks. However it still worked fine for grilling. The wifi was not reliable and could have been better, but then again, we were in the mountains. The kitchen was spacious and well stocked. And having 2 large refrigerators was awesome. No ice makers meant buying ice, but that was not a problem when you have 2 freezers and a large Yeti cooler. Also, there was only part of a very old drying rack (no drain for bottom) and they left us only 2 kitchen towels and wash rags, which were not enough when cooking 3 meals a day for 13 people. I’d suggest 4 towels, then we’d have some clean ones while the dirty ones were being washed/dried. Or tell the renter to bring their own. Unfortunately the fire pit was in the front of the house, in the driveway, which was not that convenient. Would have been nice to have it in the back of the house. Parking area out front was fine for our 4 cars. All in all, the great stuff outweighed any negative and we were satisfied with our stay. Thank you for a memorable vacation!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Inside was clean overall. Used dishwasher first time and had a leak. Numerous toilets were loose.....need to be tightened up. Called maintenance to tighten up one as water was leaking on floor.Both times maintenance was called...they were responsive. Lower deck was cluttered with leaves and foliage debris....should have been blown off prior to our arrival. Area around hot tub have algae on deck and make the service extremely slippery. Deck was dirty and needs to be pressure washed. Good thinking on 2 refrigerators and 2 sinks. Need more than a 2 piece toaster though for a house this size.

The only issue was the noise for the guests downstairs under he kitchen complained that it was very loud if anyone was in the kitchen. Also there was no toilet paper in master bedroom and not nearly enough supplies for the weekend. We had to run to walmart several times for paper goods and trash bags which should have been stocked for the amount of people staying. Otherwise no other complaints. Views were great and close to everything.
