Hakuna Matata really means no worries! The place was exactly as shown and described. The home felt comfortable and held our entire family nicely. The place was so convenient to everything we wanted to do; hike, rent a boat, golf, and even was attached to the Waterfront Greens community with lots of activities. Best place we’ve stayed in Deep Creek by far. We will be returning.

Thank you for the wonderful review of your stay at Hakuna Matata John! We are thrilled to hear that the home met your expectations and provided a comfortable and convenient base for your family's activities.

Our adult children and our 3 grands had a wonderful Mother's day weekend at Hakuna Matata! Our cell cameras captured the NORTHERN LIGHTS and we were able to catch a glimpse with our very eyes - yes, in Maryland! The home is very lovely and accommodating - esp pleased that everyone had their own bathroom. Our guys enjoyed the golf course (it's how we entice them to come!) We enjoyed an outdoor "campfire" and the grands made S'mores. Had great laughs while playing "Family Feud" - a tradition, as well as "Spoons" that we played when our kids were young. The large dining table was perfect for this as well as our meals. The beds were quite comfortable as were the sofas - and there are "throws" available to cuddle in when evening comes. Everything was clean and neat upon arrival -(and we did our best to leave it that way). Oh, there are PLENTY of cups, glasses and dinner ware. Take several large kitchen trash bags, as the waste container there is rather small and we needed to empty it at least twice daily. Enjoy!

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience at Hakuna Matata Pat! We are thrilled to hear that you and your family had a fantastic Mother's Day weekend filled with memorable moments. It warms our hearts to know that the home was accommodating and that everyone enjoyed their own bathrooms. The Northern Lights sighting must have been truly magical! We appreciate your feedback about the waste container size and will take this into consideration for future improvements. We hope to welcome you back again soon for more special memories!

Hakuna Matata is a gorgeous, well designed home. The bedrooms are large with ensuites and just perfect for 4 couples. We used the 2 futon double beds downstairs and everyone had plenty of space. Beds were very comfortable. The house was well stocked, all the furniture was in good shape and comfortable and the table seating for 10 was perfect. It is in a great location close to the state park, river, shops. We had such a wonderful time hiking, tubing, swimming, and going on the Alpine coaster at Wisp. The owners planned out this home very well and made it so welcoming. Loved our visit!

Please replace the deck and the grill. The four master bedroom suites were perfect for four couples. The deck has several boards that make walking on it hazardous. The grill was completely unusable but Railey brought us a “loaner” grill. This home was wonderful, but wish we could have enjoyed the deck. I would recommend this home with 5 stars if the deck was replaced.

Hi Mike! Thank you for providing feedback on your recent stay at our property. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the condition of the deck and grill during your stay. Rest assured, we have taken note of your concerns and will address them promptly to ensure a better experience for future guests.

The house was really exceptional. Some cosmetic upgrades (new flooring, etc) had been done since the pictures were taken and we were pleasantly surprised. The house was very comfortable and well-appointed for our family getaway- we especially loved having 4 separate masters which gave everyone a bit of privacy if needed. The kitchen was well stocked and the appliances all worked well. There isn’t really a place to store food since the cabinets are all filled but there is plenty of counter space. We appreciated having televisions with cable and streaming abilities. The Wi-Fi also worked very well. We had quite a few devices connected and it handled everything well. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub and the kids loved the pool table and air hockey table. We also enjoyed playing in the snow in the yard and admired the beautiful view. The house was perfect for us - we hope to visit again soon

Thank you so much for taking the time out to leave us with your thoughts Jessica! The Railey's staff and homeowners strive to provide the best rental experience possible and we love to hear when we've succeeded! It's great that the home was stocked with everything you needed and the amenities were well equipped. We hope to have the chance to rent to you again soon! Madison, Railey Vacations

The house came just as pictured and was clean. It was perfect for what we wanted, a quiet weekend away with friends. The house has more than enough to keep everyone entertained. It's hard to find a space that doesn't have someone sleeping on twin or bunk beds, but this had 4 rooms with king beds & private bathrooms. It was perfect, will definitely book again!

Brittany, we are so happy to hear that you enjoyed Hakuna Matata! We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We look forward to hosting you again in the future. - Jenny K, Railey Vacations

The 4 master suites were perfect for our group. Enjoyed the privacy. Close to the 9 hole golf course, had pickleball court and area was flat for walking. Had a grass cut path down to the larger neighborhood which was very nice-easy access to amenities. Kitchen well stocked with utensils, pots and pans.

Hi Rose-Mary! Thanks for taking the time out to leave us a review! We love hearing that you had a great vacation with us at Hakuna Matata and that the home provided you with all you wanted and more! We hope we have the chance to rent to you again in the future.

Overall very nice home. Only complaint is the spider webs in the home.

Thanks for taking out the time to leave a review Ebony! Grateful to hear that you otherwise enjoyed your vacation outside of the spider webs in the home. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and we hope we have the opportunity to rent to you again in the future!

I would definitely recommend this home! It is a great wooded property with a view of the lake in the distance. It is well-equipped and loved the hot tub on the cooler, fall nights. The four master suites with baths are a great setup for groups of friends or multiple families.

I'm happy to hear that Hakuna Matata offered everything your group needed for a fun and relaxing getaway, Meg! We appreciate you taking a moment to share your experience with us, and we hope for the opportunity to host you again soon! - Lainey, Railey Vacations

Love to return and do it again at the same place, although we may try a lake side house next time! Railey app/reminders were perfect and timely. Loved receiving them to keep me updated and ensured I did what was needed to check-in/check-out. Pets were allowed which made life fun with our family pet. House had great features/amenities. House had ample supplies of pots/pans dishes etc. Lost of room for everyone to spread out. Only real issue was low water pressure so we staggered use of washer with our showers. We had Railey fix a couple things, that was an easy phone call and someone showed up who was very professional and took care of our issues. Great customer service from the people who fixed our frig door and hot tub!!

Thanks for your review, David - I’m sorry to hear that a few inconveniences popped up during your stay but am glad that they didn’t prevent you from having a great time overall. We’ll have our team take a look at the water pressure to see if there is any room for improvement there. Thanks for alerting us to this issue! We greatly appreciate your communication and patience in addressing the fridge door and hot tub, as well your kind words about our team. We are always here to help! That said, if you found that a Lake Front home would be preferable for your next stay, our wonderful reservationists can assist you in finding a home that meets this need and any others you may have. When you’re ready to begin the search for your next home-away-from-home, please don’t hesitate to give us a call. We can’t wait to hear from you! - Lainey, Railey Vacations

We just used them for the first time and could not be happier with their responsiveness and efforts to make everything right. Will absolutely use them again and recommend them to anyone! Only good vs great because I feel the communication concerning the rental could be clearer. Many documents, emails, and postings are very general. If your community has this then you might be able to do that, kind of communication. Especially with being new to DCL it would be nice for everything to be spelled out. They do have an app but it could use a lot of help. Buttons don’t consistently work and information has to be really searched for. But again, this was the only drawback.

Thanks so much for your kind words, Trent, and for your suggestions on ways we can improve our service. We’ll share your feedback with our communications team to use while making updates to our system. In the meantime, please know we are just a phone call away should you have any questions! We’re so glad that you enjoyed your stay at Hakuna Matata and can’t wait to host you again in the future! - Lainey, Railey Vacations

Spent the Independence Day weekend for my birthday at this lovely property. Would love to give it 5 stars but some house defects prevents that. (Jacuzzi, Kitchen and Finding house) However, it’s spacious, beautiful view, has everything you need to have a relaxing and fun stay. :)

So glad you had a relaxing time, Raynard! We apologize if there were a few items that negatively impacted your stay. Please reach out if you have any suggestions on how we can better improve the experience for future guests, we'd love to hear them! We hope to see you again in the future. - Jenn, Railey Vacations

This was the perfect house for our family. Five adults and two children. We enjoyed the hot tub, the pool table and playing air hockey and making S'mores in the fire pit. The views from the back of the house are amazing.
