  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.
  2. Golf Area
    Refers to a selection of our properties which are the most conveniently located within or near a golfing community. Some homes under Lake Front, Lake Access, or Lake Area categories may also be considered a Golf Area property.

Cut above is a large home just off Deep Creek Lake. Great size and huge fireplace. It has been a rental for a while, some maintenance issues but easily repairable. Nice deck and hot tube, acre size lot.

We appreciate your feedback Scott and are pleased to hear that despite some small troubles we were able to quickly help you. It's great tp hear that there was plenty of space for all and you enjoyed the hot tub! Please come see us again soon! Madison, Railey Vacations

The house has great bedrooms and bathrooms. The kitchen has plenty of dishes and cookware. Our group of 6 adults and 3 children stayed here two years in a row. Lake access is convenient and the view from the back deck is great all day. Front porch is shaded which we enjoyed. The house was in need of a deep cleaning and pull out couch beds are not comfortable.

Hi Sara, thank you for bringing these things to our attention. Out staff always tries their best to provide top-notch service for every stay, but occasionally make mistakes and miss our mark. We sincerely apologize certain aspects of the cleaning appear to have been overlooked for your arrival. Please know you can contact us with any dissatisfactions upon arrival and we’re happy to remedy it for you as quickly as possible to the best of our ability!

The neighborhood and proximity to the lake were great. Very peaceful and relaxing. Having the par 3 golf right across the street was awesome. It is a 2-3 min walk down to the boat docks and having 2 slips was a big bonus. The cove isn’t a high traffic area so we had a great time kayaking and paddle boarding. We had plenty of room in the house and the “all masters” bedrooms were nice to have. The main beds were very comfortable but the pull out bed mattresses need updating. With the layout of the house as it is we would not recommend planning to have people sleep in either the great room or game room loft area. Both would be too loud if anyone else was up doing anything. There is a large back deck with views of the lake, wetlands and sun rises but the house has no deck furniture so if you want to relax out there you need to bring your own chairs. We loved our stay at A Cut Above, the weather was absolutely perfect. The house needs a couple of simple updates but we would recommend it for any group of 12-16 looking for a relaxing stay at the lake.

Thanks for the great review, Philip. We'll be sure to pass along a couple of your comments to the owner for improvements but are glad that overall you and your group enjoyed the home. We hope you'll be back to see us again soon! - Jenn, Railey Vacations

A Cut Above did not disappoint! It was more than I and nine family and friends expected. Very nice spacious bedrooms (their adjoining bathrooms all felt like master baths). There was plenty of room in the common area. Unobstructed views of snow falling just outside the back wall of windows (coupled with a roaring fire in the ginormous fireplace) made it very cozy and comfortable in the common area. The kitchen layout made it easy for multiple cooks to function in the same space (the second fridge was a lifesaver). The mud/laundry room was a welcomed staging area for load-in and load-out. Also, we had about 4 to 5 inches of snowfall during our stay. Snow removal for our street AND driveway was quick and thorough!! Overall I would give our rental home a 4.5 out of 5. We will definitely rent this house again!!!

We truly appreciate the great review, David! We're so glad you had a fantastic time and can't wait to welcome you back again! -Jenn, Railey Vacations

The microwave didn't work well. We were lucky one of us had experience with a similar microwave and knew that it took a sharp blow to the top of the unit to make it work (honest)! The boat dock was a good walk from the house and it would be nice if they could get one of the closer dock slips. Wonderful House, Wonderful yard. Loved the par three golf course and the fishing pond!

Glad you had a great time, Gerald! We'll be sure to have a look at that microwave. Unfortunately, we don't have control of the dock assignments but are glad you enjoyed all of the community amenities. We hope you'll be back to see us in the future! - Jenn, Railey Vacations

Last year when we booked it specifically said canoe & kayaks available. Also said community pool was available for use. I inquired while we were there & no one I spoke to had any idea what I was talking about. Very disappointing!

Hi Yvonne, we apologize if there was some confusion about the way the amenities were listed. This home does have access to a Canoe & Kayak Station, however this is intended as an area where you can store you Canoe and/or Kayak during your stay, not an area that provides the Canoes and Kayaks for you. We've recently added an amenity that no water equipment is provided, in order to ensure this is well understood by future guests. I do not see in our unit history that a pool was ever advertised on our site for this home. If you should find that information posted inaccurately, please do get in touch and we'd be happy to take it down; as of now I've searched all of our listing information and it appears to be accurately displaying that a pool is not available. If you should like to rent another home in the future which does have a pool, please reach out to our Vacation Specialists and they'd be happy to assist you! - Jenn, Railey Vacations

A Cut Above was an amazing property. the house was well-maintained and we had everything we needed. Our only complaint is that the sleep out sofa in the living room needs to be updated. The cushions were sagging and made it very uncomfortable to sit on. But everything else was top-notch.

Thanks for letting us know, Patrice! We'll be sure the owner is informed of the sleeper sofa so that we might improve that for future guests. Glad to hear you otherwise had a great time and we hope to see you back again soon! - Jenn, Railey Vacations

Great house! It has plenty of space and all the utensils and appliances you need (two dish washers - two refrigerators etc). Downside, the furniture is warn out and uncomfortable (couches and recliner). But overall a great place to stay!

Thanks for the feedback, Linda! We're always striving to improve the experience for our guests and will be sure to pass along your comments to the owner. Glad you had a great time, please come back and see us again soon! - Jenn, Railey Vacations
