  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.

I booked Moondancer for spring break with my kids and extended family - a good size group of 10. The house fit us perfectly with room to spare. It had everything we needed for a relaxing time together - hot tub, fire pit, amazing view of the lake and close proximity to everything. We had a few maintenance issues at arrival but customer service was very quick to respond and we had folks out at the property the very next morning to take care of all the issues. Would definitely rent this property again!

Thanks for the review Sandra! We love to hear that you and your family had a spectacular time together. It's great when the home, location, and amenities all come together for the perfect rental experience. We are glad we were able to quickly remedy any issue you may have had and look forward to having the opportunity to rent to you again soon! Madison, Railey Vacations

Moondancer was the perfect house for our family vacation. The house offers easy access to and beautiful views of the lake. It is well-maintained and easily accommodates a large group of 10-15 people. The kitchen is extremely functional and the huge back deck proved to be our favorite living space in the evening. Of all the Deep Creek houses we’ve stayed at over the past several years, this one is by far the best.

Hi Jay! We are so happy to hear that you and your family had a wonderful time with us at Moondancer!

Moondancer presents well on the website but needs many improvements. Window covering up stairs, more seating in family area and dining room. Replacement of cooking pots and pans as existing were worn out. The home has many stairs and thus is not conducive to those with mobility issues. On the positive side, it is located in a nice community on a quiet part of the lake and has a great lawn for the kids to play.

Thanks for your review, Thomas! I’m sorry to learn that Moondancer didn’t meet your expectations and will be sure to share your feedback with the homeowner for use during future updates. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. I’m glad to hear that there were several aspects of the home that you thoroughly enjoyed, and hope that these positives will influence your decision to visit us in the future, as we would love to host you again soon. - Lainey, Railey Vacations

What a wonderful and gorgeous home - more than enough space for everyone. I was actually surprised how much space there was. The beds were comfortable with plenty of pillows. The twin beds room is large and I love the touch of a personal wall light for each of them. The kitchen was easy to function in with several people cooking and prepping at once. We enjoyed the outside fire pit with plenty of seating all the way around. And the hot tub was in great working order. So relaxing to be in this peaceful cove and have such a wonderful view of the lake. We have already booked to return to this home next summer!

Excellent property and location, very clean, AC worked great compared to our experience last year at another location. Only 2 minor issues to mention, grass around the house was a little high and the boat parked in the driveway made parking a little tight.

Thanks for your feedback, Tanaka! We're happy to know that you had a great time at Moondancer overall. We'll share your comments with the landscaping team and the homeowner to have your concerns addressed as soon as possible. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and we hope to host you again soon! - Lainey, Railey Vacations

Very good. Weather was too cold, but nonetheless had a great time.

We're glad the cold weather didn't stop you from having a great getaway, Bradley! Please come back and enjoy Deep Creek again soon (perhaps a summer trip is in store?). - Lainey, Railey Vacations

The house was perfect for our gathering. The master bedroom with fireplace was great, kitchen was well equipped. The rental personnel were very helpful and accommodating.

We're happy you enjoyed your stay at Moondancer, Kathy! Thanks for this kind review. We hope to host you again soon! - Lainey, Railey Vacations
