Very convenient location, well stacked kitchen (very good quality china and glass). Bed and linens are very comfortable. House is clean and nicely decorated. It has 4.5 bathrooms which is a huge plus for bigger group. We had a very pleasant fall getaway. One thing might be out of the owner's control is we had very noisy neighbors that partied till 2am for both nights' stay, that one couple had to moved from their 2nd floor bedroom, which is facing that neighbor, to a spare basement bedroom. We read that the neighborhood has quite-night policy but apparently not well enforced.

Hi Mingjian! Thanks for the thoughtful review! We are sorry to hear about the issues concerning the noise and in the future please do not hesitate to call into our office and we will quickly respond with the correct action to enforce the noise ordinance.

The house interior was superb, but the last attention to entry way and porch detracted from our overall rating. It would be helpful to have a mobility aids/bars in a some of the bathrooms and also in the master bathroom. It would also have been helpful to have automated blinds or curtains for the bottom tier of living room windows.

We've rented this house for a few years (though it recently was sold to a new owner). We love the proximity to Wisp and that it's walking distance to a number of restaurants/bars and activities. This is a fun house to share with friends or family. There is a bedroom on the main level with a huge master bathroom (walk-in shower and separate jacuzzi tub). On the upper level there are two bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom. The basement also has two bedrooms and share a hall bath. It does get cold down there, but they provide extra blankets. It would be nice to have a bunk bed option (the fold away is not too comfortable) for room sharing. We love staying here and will continue to rent it for our annual ski trip!

I'm so happy to hear that you've found the perfect home-away-from-home in Deep Creek, Dawn! We'll share your suggestion of a bunk bed with the owner for consideration when making updates. Thanks so much for taking a moment to share your experience with us. We can't wait for your next visit! - Lainey, Railey Vacations
