Great house!! We stayed for an entire week and got to see the first snowstorm of the season. The deer walked right through the yard every morning. Having the hot tub right on the deck was the best!

We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your week-long stay and were able to witness the beauty of the first snowstorm of the season Michele! It’s delightful to know that you had memorable encounters with deer right in your yard each morning. We are also glad that you found relaxation in our hot tub on the deck, as it is indeed a perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring.

The house is big and family friendly. The beds were so comfortable. The WiFi worked great. The steps to and from the dock allow you to skip the gym. The hot tub was amazing. The oven and toaster oven are a little dated, but we made it work. The pool table was great for rainy night fun. Close to everything. Driveway was a little tricky and couldn’t get the boat up it, but we figured that based on the driveway ratings. Great time and so many memories made.

Thank you for the review Brandi! We are happy to hear that you found our house to be big and family-friendly, with comfortable beds and great WiFi.

House was perfect for our large family plus 2 dogs. Enough sleeping for all of us. Large dining table was great for our family prepared meals. And the big deck gave us all room to spread out. Mornings were special on the deck for the older folks, while young people slept late. Little confusing where access to lake and docks was. First evening our fisherman were on the wrong dock. Our family did use the docks alot for fishing, kayaking, swimming, and relaxing along the lake.

Great place, will be coming back! They do say it in the manual, but something to consider is that you have to bring your own dish soap, hand soap, toilet paper/towels etc. A bit of a hastle and would like not to think about those things on a getaway. Otherwise would highly recommend the location and house.

Thanks for your review, Juan! Upon booking, we do like to send out a list of provided items and a list of those items we suggest guests bring along for their stay.

Not clean and horrible mattresses

Thank you for your review, Dayna. I’m so sorry to hear that the housekeeping at Mountain Joy did not meet your expectations and appreciate you alerting us to your concern. Cleanliness is our team’s top priority, and for this reason, we do have a policy in place (outlined in your booking confirmation) which encourages our guests to contact us within 24 hours of their arrival should any aspect of the housekeeping be found unsatisfactory. This way, we can send someone to accommodate and ensure that the entirety of your stay is thoroughly enjoyable. We regret that we were not given the opportunity to address your concerns prior to your departure and sincerely hope for the opportunity to remedy this disappointment with a fantastic DCL getaway in the future. Until then, we have alerted our housekeeping team to your comments. We have also relayed your feedback regarding the mattresses to the homeowner for review. Because bedding preferences vary so greatly, it can be difficult to find a solution that is perfect for every guest; that said, feedback is always appreciated and considered. We hope you had a wonderful New Year, and we look forward to the opportunity of hosting you again in the future. - Lainey, Railey Vacations

Although it rained our entire stay the large windows, covered porch, and tree lined property, still made it a beautiful weekend. We still had many activities to choose from inside such as the pool table and board games. The beds were comfortable and we had more than enough space.

I’m so glad you had a wonderful time at Mountain Joy despite the rainy weather, Kirsten! We hope you’ll visit again soon. - Lainey, Railey Vacations

Amazing stay in deep creek with a few friends

Our stay at Mountain Joy was for a birthday weekend away with a few friends. Overall, the house was very nice and spacious enough for several people. The pool table, hot tub, fire pit and large kitchen table were great to have. The only complaint I have would be the outside could have been cleaned a little better. It also wasn’t directly on the water but public access was only a very short walk down the road.

Thank you for taking the time out to share your experience with us. We're so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at Mountain Joy, and can't wait to have you back soon. ~Deborah Fike, Railey Vacations 

Highly recommend if you have any little ones in your group.

Highly recommend if you have little ones in your group. The living area is all one floor and you are able to see through from one end to the other. Kids had plenty of room to run around. Floors were kid friendly. We enjoyed the pool table and hot tub. Dining area was nice and big for our large family.

Thank you for your kind words, Mark! We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us. We're so happy you enjoyed your stay at Mountain Joy and can't wait to have you back soon. ~Deborah Fike, Railey Vacations

Great house for a family get away. Lots of space, the layout allowed for privacy for all. Loved the spa and fire pit. While the furniture is dated, it was nice that we didn’t have to worry about the two dogs. We rented again for next year.

We're so glad you enjoyed Mountain Joy, Jennifer, and we look forward to having you back again next year! In the meantime, we'll share your feedback regarding the furniture with the homeowner for reference when making updates. Thanks for sharing, and we'll see you soon! - Lainey, Railey Vacations

The house met our needs, but now that we have a better awareness of the area, we'd choose something not as far up the hill.

We had a wonderful time but the hike to the lake was a bit to much for us. We rented a boat for the week so I would like to rent something closer to water.

The home has great layout and there is ample parking, but it needs some TLC, the deck and furniture were filthy, there was leaves that hadn’t been cleaned up from the fall on the porch walkway to the front door. A guest really shouldn’t have to sweep the decking when they arrive. Several of the shelves in the kitchen cabinets are sagging very badly, at some point they will break. The counter granite is beautiful though. We had a nice weekend with family, we all just thought the house could be amazing with a little bit of care and updates.we also had to add about 5 inches of water to the hot tub as the jets would not work. After the water was added it worked nicely.

I'm sorry to hear that some aspects of Mountain Joy did not meet your expectations, Candice, and will be sure to share your feedback with our maintenance team and the homeowner in order to have your concerns addressed as soon as possible. We also regret to hear that you found the outdoor areas to be particularly unkept; our landscaping team will be visiting to ensure these areas are up-to-par for future guests. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and are glad to know that you had a good stay at Mountain Joy overall. - Lainey, Railey Vacations

This home is so worth staying in. I love the set up and the openness. Everything feels close and open and homey. I love how everything is on one floor. Even the single upstairs bedroom is close and I love that! No one feels far away. I love all the big windows that allow all the view and light in. The sliding gate on the deck is genius! We absolutely loved our stay here.

It was a great home, loved the hot tub and the pool table. A little inconvenient to reach the docks for fishing especially for the older ones but we had a great time and they want to have a longer weekend next time!

Wonderful time had by all. Perfect lay out, to enjoy spending time with each other. Plenty of room to spread out and relax. Unfortunately we did not get to use the firepit outside, due to weather, but the fireplace inside was lovely. The only thing that was a little problem was those of us that had animal allergies, could tell animals had been in the house. That might be a deterrent to some booking. All in all, I would recommend this to many, and already have, as a place to visit.

I'm sorry to hear that some members of your group had allergies during your stay, Tina! While Mountain Joy is a dog-friendly rental, we do have plenty of homes available that do not permit renters to bring their pets. If you feel this would better suit your group, please don't hesitate to reach out to our wonderful reservationists who can assist you in finding a home that meets this need and any others you may have (perhaps a fire pit to make up for the bad weather during this visit?). Thanks for taking the time to leave your review! We are so glad to know that you had a great time at Mountain Joy overall and hope we can host you again soon. - Lainey, Railey Vacations

Great place to stay! Easy check-in, great communication, and perfect location for skiing. Just as advertised in the photos, it is a huge space and suited all 13 of us very well. The management company has done a good job with this house and someone was always available to help. The Jacuzzi was a huge bonus! Definitely recommend.
