Lovely home with comfortable furnishings and plenty of space to spread out, both outdoors and indoors. While the front yard is significantly sloped, the back yard and parking area offers flat areas to sit chairs and play yard games. While the home was very clean overall, there was a layer of dog hair on the living room carpet and on the comforter in a main level bedroom. All appliances worked well and the kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, pots and pans, etc…. Railey’s staff was helpful in answering questions and we would definitely recommend renting with them!

Thanks for the review Katie! Sorry to hear about the issues concerning the dog hair, we will be sure to let our housekeepers know for future stays. Otherwise, we are glad to hear that you and your family had a wonderful time together and that the home was all you expected and more. Please come see us again soon! Madison, Railey Vacations

Secluded and Relaxing

The property is secluded and private with a nice flat area surrounding the parking pad to set up camp chairs, cornhole, etc…The 2 decks offer plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors, although there is no “lake” view due to the trees. The front yard is fairly steep and can’t be used for much, but is beautiful. The house is in good condition and allowed our party of 12 to spread out and enjoy multiple living spaces. The kitchen is a bit tight but is well stocked with dishes, pots and pans, etc…All appliances worked well as did the AC. We had plenty of bath towels and wash cloths but only 1 kitchen towel and 2 kitchen dishcloths which made things difficult. Overall the house was clean; however there was a significant amount of dog hair on the living room carpet and the main bedroom comforter (enough that we vacuumed twice and still had the dog hair stuck on our clothes). We enjoyed our time here and the Railey staff was quick and helpful in responding to questions that we had.

Hi Katie! Thank you for taking the time out to leave us with your review! We apologize for the inconveniences you may have experienced during your stay.

Beautiful view. Loved the wood-burning fireplace. Very much enjoyed your home with my family. Overall, very happy. But, some suggestions for improvement: Please leave instructions for hot tub. It kept turning off. Also, pressure in basement toilet was low. Did not flush well. Leaving a salt and pepper shaker would be helpful. Working aim and flame would be great too.

Mary, we are pleased to hear you were happy with your stay at Sparks to Stars. Thank you for the suggestions! We do hope you will stay with us in the future. Jenny, Railey Vacations

The big windows on the front of the house allow for spectacular views and for sunlight to pour into the front of the house. I enjoyed my coffee as I watched the sun come up. Although it is a large house, it felt cozy. We were there in December and my family enjoyed hanging out in the living room with a wood fire in the fireplace. The house is at the end of the road and it felt very secluded and private. My only regret is that we couldn't have stayed longer. I definitely would choose to stay at Sparks to Stars again!

Hi Jennifer! We appreciate you taking the time out to leave us such a wonderful review! The Railey's staff and homeowners strive to provide the best rental experience possible and we love to hear when we’ve succeeded!

The home is great. My husband found the shower in the master bedroom a bit tight, but it was fine. We had a water issue as sometimes happens with well water but the agency was able to work with us to resolve it. It did not take away from our great time. In future, would like to see all fees up front when looking at properties.

My family had never been to Deep Creek before and decided to go a little bit before the season. It is too early for families wanting to get out on the lake, but we wanted a relaxing vacation and it worked out great for us. Since the season starts on Memorial Day, we felt like we were the only ones there, but were still close to all the amenities. We got in some hiking, geocaching, went to the movies and had quality time to reconnect with each other.
