  1. Lake Front
    Any property that borders the state-owned ‘buffer strip.’ Lake Front means you have access to the water for swimming and a boat dock if applicable to your home. You can go directly to the water from your door with no road between. Lake Front does not necessarily mean you have a view of the water, since much of our shoreline is wooded.

The view and location are the best thing about this house! The house itself could definitely benefit from some updating but the short walk to the water and views luckily trumped the interior issues in the home.

This house is situated in a lovely area-close to the state park-and with a flat lawn. The kids loved being able to get right in the water from the pebble shoreline, and having a private dock on the property was perfect for both kayaks and our boat. The house easily accommodated our group of 15 with room to spare! We would love to return here soon!

Thanks so much for your review, Tracy! We're happy to hear everyone enjoyed their time at Howard's End and hope you'll be able to make that trip back to see us again soon! - Jenn, Railey Vacations

Hi, Rhonda. We are so excited to hear that Howard's End met your expectations. The homeowners will love to hear how much you enjoyed the location of the property, and time relaxing on the deck just watching the activity on the lake. Deep Creek really is a beautiful area.

Howard’s End is our favorite Deep Creek Lake rental! The neighborhood is quiet and family oriented. The location on the lake is low traffic and great for the kids to swim and paddle board. The house itself has all the amenities you could want. Being a short distance from the house to the waterfront provided an amazing view from the deck. The small area of sand at the lakefront kept the little ones busy for hours. The comfort of the furnishings inside the house made for relaxing evenings and great nights of sleep for all. And we loved all of the artworks! By the end of our week we felt like we were staying with old friends rather than renting a vacation house.

We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Howard's End, Cathy! Come back and visit again anytime! - Lainey, Railey Vacations

A nice place on the water

We shared the house with four other families. It was wonderful to have enough bedrooms for all the couples as well as the room with bunk beds for the kids to share. The kitchen was great for our breakfasts and dinners. The hot tub was wonderful and it was a bonus to be under the deck while it was raining. The mattress in our bedroom has seen better days and acts more like an air mattress where you find yourself in the middle sunken in. The hot water tends to run out quickly so not too many can shower around the same time. The view of the lake was wonderful. All in all, was a very nice place and would recommend for others.

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay at Howard's End, Laura! We'll share your comment regarding the bedding with the homeowner for consideration. Because bedding preferences can vary so greatly, it can be difficult to find a solution that is perfect for every guest. That said, feedback is always appreciated. Thanks so much for sharing your experience, and we hope to host you again in the future! - Lainey, Railey Vacations
