  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. Ski Area
    Ski Area homes and units are within a 1mi driving distance to Wisp Resort Ticket Window and/or Lift Access. Ski Area homes may require you to drive a very short distance and/or cross a road by foot. Some homes under Lake Front, Lake Access or Lake Area may also be considered a Ski Area property.

We would definitely book this property again. Location is great, plenty of parking, the house was clean and the furnishings were in good condition. The view of the lake from the house was beautiful.

The house was in a great location. Many activities were very close! Having a private dock was wonderful. Third floor gaming area was great for the family and also all the board games. Hot tub was very nice and serviced every 2 days. Adequate parking for 5 cars. The kitchen was very spacious as were the living rooms. One negative item is the refrigerator. It was definitely too small for our 13 person large group); there was a second fridge in utility room but it was broken.

Hi David! Thanks for the kind words. It's great to hear that you and your family had a fun filled vacation with us enjoying all the amenities the home had to offer! Please come see us again soon! Madison, Railey Vacations

Overall a great house to accommodate a large family. The beds were comfortable and had a nice flat lot which was important to us to accommodate my mom who has some mobility issues. It was also nice to have the handicap accessible ramp at the front of the house and a handicap accessible bathroom. We were worried about privacy with the houses being so close together but that never was an issue. The amount of parking was great but street it sits on can make it challenging to pull out sometimes. While we understand that this is a rental, some of the bedspreads were ripped, the nonstick skillets were not very nonstick. Our only complaint was the dishwasher. It did not clean the dishes very well. We ended up handwashing most which is not fun when you have 12 guests and your on vacation. Railey was attentive in sending someone out right away but the dishwasher was operating ok and apparently it just wasn't a great brand to clean dishes. To end on a positive note, we really enjoyed our vacation.

We appreciate you taking the time out to leave us with your thoughts Sharon and we sincerely apologize for the inconveniences you experienced during your stay. We will be sure to pass this along to our maintenance department to ensure that this is repaired for future stays as well as the homeowners for future improvements. Otherwise we are pleased to hear that you and your family had a great time together and we hope to have the opportunity to rent to you again in the future! Madison, Railey Vacations

We really enjoyed our stay at Rivendell! Plenty of space for our family of 14...10 adults, 2 teenagers, 1 child and an infant. The keyless entry made check in/check out so simple. No problem docking a pontoon boat for the week. The yard is not steep which helped several of our family members get access to the dock. The views from the deck, dock and loft were awesome! We would definitely stay here again.

Hi, Sharon. Wow! Thank you so much for the wonderful five star review. It can be really difficult sometimes to find the perfect property to host a large group like yours. There needs to be just the right amount of private and public space to meet everyone's needs. It's also nice to hear the gentle slope of the yard provided accessibility to the lake for all members of your group. It's awesome that you all were so comfortable at Rivendell. We think it's a special home too. Please let us know when you are ready for another Deep Creek Lake vacation. We would love to host you. -Susan, Railey Vacations

Perfect location for our Wisp ski trip. Nice view of the lake. Roomy foyer for ski gear. Had fun in the loft game room one day, as it rained and we didn't venture out. Knives in Kitchen were great, I'm used to bringing my own because they are never good. King bed in every bedroom. Only con, not necessarily the owners fault - 70% of the dishes/pots/pans were dirty, so we had to clean everything before we used it.

Hi, Stacy! I’m sorry to hear that the dishes were dirty upon your arrival - we ask all guests to wash any dishes used during their stay prior to departing and also have our housekeeping team check to be sure this was done. We regret that these steps were missed and will share your comments with our team as a reminder. Despite this hiccup, we’re so glad to know that you had a great time at Rivendell overall, and we hope you’ll visit us again soon! - Lainey, Railey Vacations

Hi, Merav! I’m sorry to hear that a few aspects of your stay did not meet expectations and appreciate you taking a moment to share your experience with us. I’ve relayed your comments regarding the bedding to the homeowner for reference when making updates. 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’ve also made our maintenance team aware of your comments regarding the televisions and will have these inspected to be sure they are in working order for our future guests. As outlined in your booking agreement, we do not provide toiletries, cleaning supplies, food items, or paper products in the interest of our guests’ safety. We apologize for any inconvenience. We hope that you were able to enjoy your stay at Rivendell overall and look forward to the opportunity of remedying any lingering disappointment with a fantastic DCL getaway in the future. - Lainey, Railey Vacations

We love the house it fits our family needs along with the location on the lake. We were a little disappointed in the appliances (hard to work them) and needs some updates in some areas of the house like painting. Otherwise we were satisfied with the house after Railey fixed our problems. (Kitchen faucet was loose, sink in 2nd bathroom would not drain properly, toilet seat was loose in the master bathroom and mold issues in the first bathrooom on the main level.) Railey was quick to fix the problems except for the dock.

The accommodations and location at Rivendell were excellent. The home was very clean and was as nice as pictured on your website. My mother is 88 and the handicapped accessible facilities were comfortable for her.

We are so glad that your family felt comfortable at Rivendell, David! Thanks for your review. We hope to host you again soon! - Lainey, Railey Vacations
