  2. Ski In/Ski Out
    Refers to any home that provides direct access from the house to the slopes of Wisp Resort without driving or crossing a road. The convenience to the slopes in the winter is the best amenity!

Very comfortable home with very comfortable furniture and mattresses. Great location within walking distance to the top of the lifts and surprisingly quiet rooms even with a ton of kids. The boot warms in this home was a game changer and quiet a delightful surprise to all of us.

Great House, best in the neighborhood, but some inconveniences

Reviewed on 2023-03-15 by Jennifer , Falls Church, Virginia United States

We have stayed at several houses in this neighborhood, and this has been the best by far. The inconveniences.....biggest issue is that 3 of the bedrooms on the back side of the house have floor-to-ceiling windows/doors and the window dressings are inadequate, leading to sleep quality issues. This includes the master bedroom. They are either white and very sheer and/or not wide enough to cover the entire window, letting in the light early in the morning. There are also no bedside table lamps anywhere in the house. It's all overhead lighting. I just find these odd because the house has been totally upgraded/renovated otherwise. Also, there are no hair blow dryers in the house. Having rented houses all over the US through property managers, VBRO, Airbnb, this is the only place I know where a hair dryer isn't standard. Still, the best house we've stayed in, but these are helpful things to know before renting and packing for your trip.

Jennifer, we are glad you enjoyed your stay at Boulder Vista, and we appreciate your helpful suggestions. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and suggestions. We hope you will come back to visit us in the near future! Jenny, Railey Vacations

UPDATE- Hi Jennifer! On behalf of the homeowners we wanted to reach out and let you know that they came in and added lamps to every bedroom, and upgraded the window treatments for privacy/sleep quality. Thank you! 10/12/2023

Great place! We have stayed here before and they have upgraded almost everything!

We loved all the upgrades including a new paint job in the entire house and new furnishings. About the only thing missing would be a bedside lamp in the bedrooms, only overhead lighting.

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review! We are pleased to hear that you and your family had a great time with us! We will be sure to pass along your recommendations to the homeowners for improvements for future rentals! We hope to have the chance to rent to you again in the near future!

Dated Home - Under Construction

Reviewed on 2022-02-27 by Adrienne Derby , Hollywood, MD USA

Roof was in the middle of being replaced during our stay. Materials took up much of the yard and some of the parking area. Gutters down and hoses out upon arrival. Spackled drywall damage in most of the rooms. Would not have recommended renting in this poor condition. This is our fifth year renting on the mountain and would not recommend this home even in better conditions. No direct access to Eye Opener unless using two neighbors down’s private property (definitely not public) short walk to bottom of chair 4. No real area for ski equipment in “mud room” unless you only have 4-5 skiers. Lots of stairs just to get into the home. Beds (mattresses, pillows, bedding) extremely flat and beyond life. Oven is unreliable, plan for added cook times. Fridge and water stunk like fish so I’m thankful we brought our own water - hot tub ended up getting filmy and slimy by day 2 which was disappointing. Great view and decent water pressure.

Hi there, Adrienne - I'm so sorry to hear that your stay at Boulder Vista did not meet expectations and understand how the conditions described here would negatively impact your stay. I will be relaying your comments to the homeowner for use when making updates at Boulder Vista and when planning for future reservations. We regret that your experience was anything less than exceptional and we hope for the opportunity to remedy your disappointment with a fantastic DCL getaway in the future. Thank you for your review. - Lainey, Railey Vacations

Boulder Vista Weekend

Reviewed on 2022-01-13 by Chelsea

All in all we had a wonderful weekend at Boulder Vista. The house was a nice size for a large family, with plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen was well-appointed and we loved the views of the mountain from the living room. The only cons are: - mattresses are TERRIBLE. We all woke up sore after sleeping on the beds. - the hot tub water seemed very dirty. It was almost gray in color and we all ended up with weird rashes.

Hi, Chelsea! I’m so glad to hear that you had a great time at Boulder Vista overall and appreciate you taking a moment to share your experience with us. I’m sorry to know that your group experienced some issues with the mattresses and the hot tub. Because bedding preferences vary so greatly, it can be difficult to find a solution that is perfect for every guest. That said, feedback is always appreciated and considered, and this comment has been shared with the homeowner for consideration. Regarding the hot tub, each of our units receives regular maintenance and sometimes water treatments occur less than 24 hours before guest arrival. When the water is shocked, it can sometimes appear cloudy in color and this takes roughly 24 hours to resolve. Soaking in recently shocked water can also irritate the skin, which may explain the rashes your group experienced. That said, if your condition worsens or you notice anything further concerning, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. We’ll also have our team take a second look to be sure chemical levels, etc. are as they should be. Thanks so much for your review, and we hope to host you again soon! - Lainey, Railey Vacations

Overall, this home was an amazing find. The view was beautiful, especially the sunrise over the mountains. It was not a far drive at all to go to the grocery store or the lake or to activities. The only negatives I noticed were that it was still dusty around the baseboards and blinds and whoever was there before us definitely left some fish odor behind in the main fridge. But even with that, it was plenty spacious for our 8 adults and 3 kids. The dinner table was the perfect size and it was wonderful to have the large windows and balcony over looking the trees and mountains.

I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Boulder Vista overall, Kayla! Thank you for letting us know how your stay could have been even better; we’re going to have our housekeeping team show this home a little extra love so everything is in order for our future guests.

The house was nice, but it is in need of a little TLC. You are in desperate need of a new sweeper and broom. Sweeper did not pick up and the broom was half there. The fireplaces blowers did not work. The greeting basket was very nice. My suggestion would be instead of leaving the basket supply hand soap in the bathrooms. The outside steps leading up to the little room off the kitchen were not shoveled when we arrived.

Thanks for your review, Theresa - we appreciate you alerting us to any concerns you have regarding the house! I'm sorry to hear that the vacuum and broom did not work well for you. We will have our housekeeping team visit Boulder Vista to be sure all is working properly and to give the home some some extra love. We'll also take a look at the fireplace to ensure everything is in order. While we do not supply toiletry items, such as hand soap, you are always welcome to give us a call if you have questions about what you should bring and what will be made available to you. Salt and shovels are available at the home during winter months for snow removal, but we are happy to lend a hand if you find yourself in need of assistance. I hope this information comes as a comfort and will weigh in your decision to visit us again - we'd love to have you back soon! - Lainey, Railey Vacations

Pretty good, but worn.

I have stayed in a lot of homes at DCL over the years and this trip ranked pretty high, but I think it is useful to know that while the summer view is gorgeous - you can NOT see the lake from the main floor or deck and get only a glimpse of it from the upper loft and bedrooms. You likely see more lake in the Winter but I can't say for sure. It is still a gorgeous view, particularly in the morning when fog sits among the mountains. The house is not well loved (read:maintained). It was clean, but the couches are ancient and ridiculously unsupportive, torn, and obviously heavily used. (when I say ridiculous, we were laughing at how low we were all sinking, and how difficult it was to get back out - so much so that we only sat in the living room once and after that, no one wanted to be swallowed up by the couches again) The "screened porch" has no screens and is just an open extension of the deck - we still enjoyed sitting there one evening as the lighting was much better there than on the main deck where you either sit in the dark or are blinded. The stars from the back deck are amazing. Re: Beds, I can only speak for the master bedroom king bed - and it was not comfortable at all, but that view in the morning!! The kitchen needs more dishes for the amount of people it sleeps, and while I know it isn't promised, this was the first house I have ever rented in DCL to not have ANY spices in the kitchen. I'm also pretty impressed and happy with a well stocked kitchen that has quality items - like decent knives. The knives at this house were all pretty dull, but that is pretty typical for a vacation rental. I was not super impressed by the kitchen except for one thing - 2 dishwashers - that is genius and was well utilized. The second fridge in the pantry was also nice to hold beverages separate from the food. I just kept needing bowls for cooking, mixing, and serving, and they just weren't there. The house could just use some TLC and updating. We never turned on a tv so I don't know if anything worked or didn't in that regard, though the kids said they couldn't get anything on the basement bunkroom tv and the DVD player wouldn't open. The kids all enjoyed playing pool downstairs, but the pool table and basement couch was just as worn as the living room couches with tears etc. I also think the 2 basement bedrooms with the Jack-n-Jill Bathroom would serve guests better if they had 2 twins each rather than 1 queen each as there are plenty of queen beds around the place. - and maybe a pullout couch in the main basement area. Just my opinion. We had kids sharing beds and they would definitely have appreciated their own beds. The bunk room was great, but we had 8 kids in the house so only 4 were accommodated there.The futon in the loft area is great if you all go to bed at the same time, which is probably unlikely if you have so many people you need to use it, but we didn't so it was useless. No one could possibly sleep there with the noise from downstairs at night for night-owls or in the morning as early risers get up and make coffee and breakfast... The location is great. I love the neighborhoods up in this area and have stayed in at least 4 different homes up on this particular mountaintop. This was not the best of them, but not the worst either. DCL is my happy place, so overall, I had a wonderful vacation.

Meredith, we're so glad you enjoyed your stay overall at Deep Creek Lake and apologize for some of the inconveniences you experienced during your stay. We wanted to let you know on behalf of the owner that they have made many updates to the property since your review, including: repainting both the inside and outside of the home, replacing both the upstairs living room furniture and downstairs rec room furniture, replacing most dining room chairs and upgrading the dining room table, replenishing the kitchen inventory, replacing most of the carpeting, and ordering new upstairs window locks and blinds. We hope with these updates that you may consider giving Boulder Vista another try on your next trip to Deep Creek Lake! - Railey Vacations
