We loved our stay at Mountaineer. It was perfectly sized for my family of four, my parents, and a dog. We loved that it was centrally located but felt so secluded and quiet. Lots of deer, chipmunks, spiders, and other wildlife to observe outside. The hot tub and inside of the house were so clean and had everything we needed. The team at Railey was also very helpful during our stay when we needed something.

Hi Brianna! We are thrilled to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay and found the property to be perfectly sized and well-equipped for your needs. It's wonderful to know that you appreciated the central yet secluded location, as well as the cleanliness of the hot tub and inside of the house.

Beautiful home, just the right size. NO LAKE ACCESS! Access is just a marina and doesn’t include a dock or water access.

We appreciate your feedback Denise and apologize for any confusion you may have had concerning the lake access. Our lake access is described on our website as the following "any property that has a specific, dedicated place to access the water for swimming or a boat dock (if applicable). The property owner does not own the access area. You may be able to walk to the water or you may need to drive to the area, depending on the particular property.

We enjoyed the home, it had the perfect amount of space and everything we needed. Inside was clean but the outside and deck areas needed some serious cleaning. Lake access was very disappointing, it was a short walk to the lake but no access.

Thank you for your feedback Denise. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and we apologize for any inconvenience you experience during your stay. Our housekeeping staff strives to provide the best level of cleaning in all areas of the home, however we are only human and we do sometimes miss our mark. We will be sure to alert them as well as property management to remedy the issue promptly. As for the lake access we do apologize for any miscommunication, however would like to mention that the home is not listed as having direct lake access. Your input helps us enhance the property and provide a better experience. We hope you'll consider staying with us again in the future. Madison, Railey Vacations

It was just my Husband, Son and Daughters-N- Law. Even though the cabin was dog friendly, I decided at last minute not to bring my dog because she is still a puppy. I didn’t want any accidents. The cabin was very clean and nicely decorated. I enjoyed looking out the window at the deer. We had great weather and really enjoyed the fall foliage. Thanks Again,

This was our third time booking the Mountaineer and it's starting to feel like home now. We LOVE how many extras are available (games, books, puzzles, well-stocked kitchen, etc.) and love that each room has it's own bathroom. Perfect for 3 couples. Extensive deck area is always well-utilized. We'll be back!

We appreciate the feedback Danielle and love to hear you have found a home away from home! We are glad to know that Mountanieer provided you and your group with everything you needed along with fun activities to do while staying in. Please come see us again soon!

Nicely appointed house in a convenient location, close to Rt 219 that still feels like a mountain retreat. A few items that need some attention (master bed, 2nd floor bath, and furnace). CARC membership is a great addition to this rental!

We appreciate you taking the time out to leave a review Casey! Happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay and the home provided you with convenience but were still able to enjoy the scenery! We will pass your suggestions along to the owner for consideration in future updates.

Quiet Family Retreat

Reviewed on 2021-10-19 by David

We stayed here for 5 days overlapping the Autumn Glory festival. We've been to Deep Creek in the past and its just beautiful. This house though really made it special. Its private, not too large, and not too small. Didn't get much use out of the screened-in portion of the front porch. Things we loved: - Quiet (part-way up a steep climb) - Convenient (Close to groceries, gas, food, and lake [but not too close]) - Clean (inside) - Hot-Tub - 3.5 baths!! (2 en-suite) Thoughts: - The house is nestled in the trees, which means several things - Lots of fallen leaves - Lots of "nature" in and around the house (spiders and such) <-- Not a big deal - Steep Gravel driveway (we went in October and it was not an issue in a minivan) - No flat area for kiddos to "play in the yard" except for the top of the gravel driveway where the cars park - The fire pit is excellent with plenty of seating - The deck / porch wraps around two thirds of the house, which is really nice - Grill - The grill is a 22" Weber Charcoal Kettle - The grill brush needs some love - I smoked a pork shoulder in it without issue - We loved the layout of the house, primarily the large open main area with an upstairs "loft" book nook / desk. - Bathrooms were immaculate - The Hot Tub is clearly an "older" hot tub (as seen from the weathering of the wood on the outside) but the tub itself was fully functioning and clean (though some of the jets appeared to not work as well, this wasn't an issue). - Beds were fine (not too hard, not too soft) though the noise from the springs in the first-floor master bed made it seem like it could use replacement, it didn't affect our sleep though. - Furnace can be a bit loud (its in a closet next to the main living space), but we didn't even notice it after a day or two. This was the first time we stayed with Railey, though not the last. Highly recommended, and a reasonable price.

Thanks for this detailed review, David! We're glad you had great time at Mountaineer overall and we appreciate you taking a second to share with us how your experience could have been even better. We've shared your comments with the homeowner for reference when making updates. We hope you'll visit us in Deep Creek again soon, and until then, we'll work on implementing some of your advice.

Horrible Beds!

It's only because the house was beautiful that I give this rating an 'OK'. The beds were so bad my husband and I kept rolling on top of each other all night in the beautiful bedroom on the first floor. Both of us had lasting muscle and rib pains into several days after our return home. DO NO SLEEP IN THIS HOUSE. My daughters had the same problem with the beds upstairs. Again, do not sleep in this house. Yes, it is beautiful. Sitting on the porch was wonderful. The view was amazing. But DO NOT SLEEP IN THIS HOUSE!!

Thanks for your review, Francine. I’m sorry to hear that the beds at Mountaineer did not work for your family. We understand how important a comfy bed is, especially on vacation. Because each person prefers a different type of mattress, it is difficult to provide a perfect solution for all guests. That being said, we will be sure to share your comments with the homeowner for consideration during future updates. I’m so glad that you enjoyed other aspects of the home, such as the beautiful porch and view. We appreciate your feedback and hope to host you again soon. - Lainey, Railey Vacations

The house was great! Had all the cooking utensils we needed, beds were comfortable, showers worked well, the TV was nice. We read some reviews from a couple years ago saying the technology needed updating, but it seems the owners have updated it since that review because there are updated flat screen TVs and a bluetooth speaker now. We brought our Firestick from home to watch Netflix and Hulu on, and were able to hook it up easily. The only thing was the dishwasher was broken, and we did not know until we had it loaded up and tried to run it. I am assuming that will be remedied for future guests. We loved sitting on the big porch in the morning drinking coffee and watching all the deer walk through the yard, grilling in the evenings, and using the fire pit at night. It was so great that this house was dog friendly so our dog could come on our trip with us! He loved all the hiking we did! Loved the house and would definitely return!

Thanks for your review, Kristin! We regret to hear that the dishwasher was not functioning properly during your stay - we understand what an inconvenience this is and appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We’ll have our team visit Mountaineer to make necessary repairs and to ensure the dishwasher is in working condition for our future guests. Beyond this issue, I’m so glad to know that Mountaineer offered everything you and your pup needed for a great getaway.

My kids had lots of fun there. Had no complains about this house other than the shower was a little weak. But we solved the problem by showering and swimming in the Garret’s college community swimming pool which was such a surprise! It was a standard swimming pool 6 50-meters lanes and a play pool. It was included and free for us!

Mountaineer is a nice house in a good neighborhood that’s close to everything and convenient. The hot tub is great! We really enjoyed our Presidents Day weekend with friends. Once suggestion - please update the technology in the house! Box TV’s with no way to hook up a DVD player or game system if you bring kids. An old stereo with no auxiliary or component input that you can hook a phone or tablet to listen to music. I actually went out and bought a Bluetooth speaker. The cost of updating these things would not be prohibitive.

The house is in a nice secluded area right off the lake. Ideal private location! Clean and spacious with all you basic needs if you’re wanting to spend some time at the home. We loved the fireplace and porch areas! The hot tub was very clean and easy to use. Some things need updated like the pots and pans, bedding/pillows, old box tv, hot tub cover, as well as, the wood deck retained water and froze into ice because the 2x4’s are not spaced out at all. For the price of the stay it is reasonable for what you get. We would stay there again certainly and these are basic fixes truly. We drive a truck so it was no problem getting up the snowy driveway. But anyone with a car may need to just park at the bottom if weather is harsh. We brought our own pool towels to use, and thankful we did, due to the one towel per person availability. If you’re used to the simplicity of an Airbnb check in/out this was a lot more time and travel involved. We had three times we thought were our check out 1.vrbo 2.the home rental co. 3.the time listed on our check in sheet. Just make sure to call and ask. We waited a half hr. At the front desk for them to tell us we couldn’t go to the house till 4pm on the dot and they didn’t want to give the key till then. Check out expected was I believe 10am. That’s a tad early, is how we felt, to be able to eat, clean up the place And pack up, then to drive the garbage up to the bin and drive to the place to drop off the key, in rainy snow conditions. Would recommend an 11am atleast for people was one of the main complaints we had. If you want a private, relaxing, woodsy retreat to maybe ski and come back and cook and relax this place is amazing and I would recommend it to anyone! Plenty of bedrooms for a family stay and huge dining table for food and games. We will be back for this same type of trip in the winter for sure! The house was much better then the pictures projected online honestly. We were pleased by that. Loved our 3 day quick vaca.
