Great home. All the families and kids Had a blast. The pool was especially fun for the kiddos, though the alarm was a bit finnicky at times. Toilet was also having some issues upon arrival, but there was a person fixing it. The two issues I pointed out were the main downsides. Otherwise loved all the amenities, the ample space, 2 refrigerators (super helpful), and the overall design of the property. Will be open to staying again next year!

Thank you for your feedback Bryant! We will be sure to pass along these issues to our maintenance department to ensure that they are repaired for future rentals. Otherwise it's great to hear that the home and amenities were well equipped and we look forward to seeing you again next year! Madison, Railey Vacations

We rencelty stayed at this location for a Fall family getaway. The house was everything we expected based on the pictures, description and prior reviews. The check in and check out process was very easy. The property management company and the owner were very responsive with any questions or concerns. Great customer service on their part. The great room on the upper level of the house was huge and able to handle lots of people. There are 8 bedrooms with lots of bathrooms and space if you want some privacy. The house is in a great location near the lake, ski resort, restaurants, breweries, places to shop and outdoor activities. We loved the are as it was so beautiful. Definitely a place to go back to.

We had a large group with multiple families with young kids and had more than enough space. We love the layout of the house, especially all the master bedrooms and that we could sit together in a large group for meals. The indoor pool was great for the young kids. This property would have been a five except that the outdoor community pool is closed for the season and had we known that before booking we would have went with another rental house. The state park passes and day access to the beach were nice though.

Hi, Deidre. Thank you so much for leaving such a wonderful review of your stay at Highland Manor. We are so pleased to hear that the home was a perfect fit for your family, and that the state park and beach access proved to be a great alternative to the community pool.

We just returned from a 4-day weekend at this beautiful home. We had a family trip with ages ranging from 13 months to 70 years old. Everyone had a great time with plenty to do. Laurie, the homeowner, was great to work with before, during and after the trip. She answered any questions very quickly and checked with me during our stay to make sure everything was okay. We got A LOT of snow on the day of our departure, and she even arrange a complimentary late checkout.

Highland Manor is a beautiful home in a scenic area that makes for a fantastic getaway. My wife raved so much about the home from her last time there, that I looked so forward to seeing it for myself and I am so glad I did.My wife pointed out a number of updates to the property since her last visit -- new plush feeling carpet and comfortable, appealing furniture had been added. The dining room was lovely, with a large table that seats 14 plus bar stools at the counter and pub table that the kids tended to prefer. We had plenty of space for our large party of guests, and enjoyed our meals and game nights at these tables. I have a bad back, and often leave hotels with more pain than I arrive with. but the beds were so comfortable and I was refreshed and felt good when I woke in the morning. My wife commented that they must have updated the mattresses, as they were even better than her previous visit. The hot tub was likely my favorite part of the house to spend time in, and the kids loved their time in the heated pool. I can't thank Laurie, the owner, enough for the easy way she worked with us and letting us enjoy our vacation in her marvelous home. We look forward to making this a yearly event.

Thanks for your kind words, Stephen! We're happy to hear that the owners' diligent updating was noticed and appreciated and are so glad to know you thoroughly enjoyed your stay at Highland Manor. We can't wait to host you again! - Lainey, Railey Vacations

The open layout let the parents enjoy some space while also being able to keep an eye on all the kids. Not only were there bedrooms to spare, but everyone slept incredibly well. The adults unanimously agreed that these were the best mattresses in a rental we have ever experienced. It is easy to say that the highlight for everyone was the indoor pool. The kids got in it twice a day and wore themselves out, and the parents who weren't on lifeguard duty were able to take a nap or prepare meals uninterrupted. We all returned from our week in Deep Creek unexpectedly rested with many wonderful memories.

What an awesome review, Jane! Thanks for taking the time to share. We are so glad to hear that your group had a fun and restful time at Highland Manor, and we hope you'll come back and visit us again soon! - Lainey, Railey Vacations

We had such a wonderful stay in Highland Manor for my daughter's birthday celebration a few years ago. I could not wait to come back, and was finally able to do so last week right after New Years and this beautiful vacation home did not disappoint. Having the hot tub and indoor pool on our holiday is such a treat. We will absolutely come back again

Had A Good Time but the Property Needs Major Work

We had a group of 12 adults and 5 kids. There was plenty of space for all of us which was awesome. The indoor pool and hot tub were very nice to have. We loved the central fireplace as well and had a fire going all of Saturday. Sadly the property does not appear to be taken care of very well. The carpets are stained. Most of the furniture is broken, scuffed, or worn. The fireplace doors are broken. Tiles are missing from the pool. The deck is in poor condition. With some attention this could be a pristine property but for the money it isn't worth it. You can find properties in deep creek in much better condition, with the same amenities, for that much money.

Hi, Samuel! I'm so glad to hear that your family had a great stay at Highland Manor overall, and sincerely appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback on how your next visit can be even better than the last. The owners of Highland Manor are committed to the continuous improvement of their property and have already taken action on your concerns. We're happy to report that a new couch and coffee table have been delivered, as well as new bar stools! New carpet and flooring is scheduled to be installed soon, and until then, the owners have arranged for the current carpet to be deep-cleaned to better ensure our guests' comfort. We hope you'll be happy to know that the pool tiles are also scheduled to be repaired! As these exciting new changes are being implemented, the owners are also in the process of scheduling maintenance to the fireplace doors and deck. Due to some staffing issues, these repairs will take a bit longer than they would under normal (pre-pandemic) circumstances, and we appreciate your patience and understanding. We hope this information weighs into your decision to visit Highland Manor again, as the owners would be thrilled to hear your thoughts on the updates! Thank you again for taking the time to share, and we are looking forward to the opportunity of hosting you again. - Lainey, Railey Vacations

The house was perfect for our family vacation. Our family of 15 easily fit into the house with plenty of space and everyone had their own bedrooms and bathrooms. Everyone could fit at the kitchen table and the kitchen was very large. The indoor pool and hot tub were a big hit. The house was well equipped but it could use some updating and the carpets needed cleaning. Otherwise it was a perfect house for what we needed (Reviewed on VRBO)

Our group of 20 had a great time at this home. The house has plenty of space for our families and we really liked the dock slip. It is conveniently located near WISP and lots of activities. I would have loved to have some sort of child proof lock on the pool area - the alarm system was a great but would have been nice to have a lock or keypad for entry. I also couldn’t tell from the pictures how little outdoor space there was. But having the pool made up for that. We also enjoyed the community playground.

We’re so glad to know that you enjoyed your stay at Highland Manor overall, Jessica! This home certainly offers a lot to love. We’ll be sure to share your suggestion of a child-proof entry system to the pool with the homeowner for consideration during future updates. On the topic of the pool, I’m happy to hear that your group found it a nice substitute for a large outdoor area. If you ever have questions about your rental, such as yard size, please feel free to give us a call prior to your arrival. We’re happy to help you prepare!

Absolutely beautiful house. Plenty of room to cook, dine and watch TV. Perfect getaway experience. Realtor is great, pool man is friendly, very courteous. Bedrooms are spacious. Only thing I'd say, take some tools, bathroom seats were lose, couple handles needed tighted up and seats were lose and flimsy. Outside of that, perfect house for a getaway.

We had 9 adults and 8 kids (ages 12 and under) in our party, and all of us enjoyed the house immensely. The home has a great layout that is open, but also separate enough that we could send the kids off (usually downstairs) to get some quiet time. We really enjoyed the large kitchen table and all the double appliances in the kitchen — it was so helpful when cooking for a large group. The kids loved, loved, loved the pool, and the grownups appreciated that the pool was big enough for the kids to enjoy but small enough that the grownups didn’t have to get in. We felt comfortable just reading and watching from the pool lounge chairs. The neighborhood around the house is quiet and beautiful, and the yard around the house is also wonderful. The kids liked climbing on the enormous rocks out front. The owner was friendly and communicative and the rental management folks were helpful. We would definitely stay here again.

We stayed at Highland Manor over Labor Day weekend, something our friends and I have been doing for years. The layout of Highland Manor is what we loved the most, the second floor being the kitchen & main living area while most of the other bedrooms were downstairs on the first floor near the pool room. Most bedrooms included a bathroom & had extra pull out beds. The pool room was childproof alarmed which is an excellent feature, but it was not pointed out to us upon booking. Overall, the property was cleanly & we had no problems at all checking in.

We wanted to do something extra special for our daughter's sweet 16 (OK.... just to be honest, it was 1 week before she turned 17 - we were super late on celebrating 16, but we got it in before she was officially 17!) My daughter was very excited to take a birthday trip to Deep Creek with her friends, and I was excited to get to enjoy such a lovely, peaceful environment, which she hung out with her friends. Laurie, the owner, was amazing, and talked me through everything before we went. I had an extremely helpful list of things we needed to bring, and ideas of things we could do. Prior to completing my booking she had called me to explain that the electric company had come out and run a new wire for the pool, and that the pool was perfectly safe to swim in. She even let me know that she had personally swam in the pool, since the wire was run. She was true to her word -- the pool was absolutely great and while we were there, my daughter and her friends spent nearly all 3 days in it and in the hot tub. I got to spent a very small amount of time in the pool and hut tub myself, (when I was able to get the girls to give me a chance) and it was such a joy to use them both. Besides the pool and hot tub, the house itself is beautiful. My daughter and her friends stayed in the bedrooms on the main floor, and they loved having their own rooms, TV's and bathrooms. I stayed in one of the bedrooms on the 2nd floor, so I could give them the sense of privacy. My room was lovely -- the bed was extremely comfortable, the room (all the rooms actually) were nicely appointed and comfortable, and the shower had plenty of hot water, despite sharing the house with 4 teenage girls! The kitchen was to due for. I have a very small kitchen at home, so I loved the spacious kitchen, which was fully outfitted with everything I needed, and the girls liked eating at the kitchen island, on the bar stools. I think we ate one meal at the dining room table, but the island was so much more cozy for our little group. We did leave the house and neighborhood, but most of the time we were there was spent enjoying the house, pool, hot tub, and surrounding grounds. We honestly could have spent the entire trip hanging at the house, and been completely content. It was quiet and so nice to take walks around the neighborhood, and check out all of the unique homes. However, I could not have been happier with Highland Manor, and will definitely be renting this home again!”
