Great house in a great location! For our small group of four, this was perfect. The kitchen is well equipped. We loved the breakfast bar and the dining table was cozy. The living room has comfortable furniture and the TV is property sized, HD and has cable with the capability to open streaming apps via the cable box. WE've stayed other places where the TV was so small it was unusable and/or it was a HD TV with no "smart" capability and only non-HD TV. We found this house to be amazingly well equipped and comfortable in the main living space. The upstairs bathrooms have been remodeled. The views in the winter are great. but would be tree covered in the summer. If it is open, it is a short walk to DownUnder (blue run) to ski. We have stayed here many times and plan to come back for a week in the summer! Note - the house does not have AC but has lots of windows, fans and working screens.

Great size for 8 people. Spacious townhouse. Great end unit. The only thing that could be updated are the beds i(queen, twin) in the room facing the street. I think it would work best if you put in two queens or two full size beds that were more comfortable. If two people are laying down you roll right into one another. Great location and the rental company was easy to work with.

Hi Laura! Thank you for taking the time out to leave us a review! We will be sure to pass along you suggestions to the homeowners concerning the bedding for future improvements to the home. However, we are pleased to hear that the home, location and amenities came together for a wonderful experience. Also it's great that we were able to help you in any way you may have needed!

We were so pleased with the accommodations, amenities, and location of Villages of Wisp #01 Winding Way. There is nothing old, run down, or dingy about this home. It is a gem! The interior is decorated so nicely (love the bear decor!), and it is easy to see that it is lovingly maintained. We took full advantage of all this home has to offer - home cooking, grilling, hot tub, game table, and even found time to read one of the many books that was available. The unit truly felt like our home away from home. We enjoyed our stay and this home so much, we are looking to book again next year.

Hi Toni! We are so happy to hear that your time at VOW #1 was enjoyable and the home provided you with all you needed and more! We are glad that you took full advantage of all the different activities the home had to offer. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and we hope to see you again in the near future here at DCL!

The location of this home was perfect! We only had to walk to the end of the street to get onto the slopes (very manageable in ski boots, even with a 5- and 8-year-old). You enter onto Down Under, which is a blue slope. Our 8-year-old handled it with no problems, but he's used to going down blues. It was a little steep for our 5-year-old, so he needed some assistance. But very manageable for us to take him down! The house was well equipped and spacious. We really enjoyed the hot tub and the board games, and the kids enjoyed the mini ping-pong/pool table. We will definitely be renting this place again!

We’re so glad you had a great skiing trip, Carolyn! Thanks for taking a moment to share your experience at Winding Way with us. We can’t wait for your next visit! - Lainey, Railey Vacations

We had a good time staying at 1 Winding Way for 4 nights in January 2022. We were fortunate in that it snowed the day we arrived and Wisp re-opened, though with limited trails. The closest trail (Down Under) to the house was not open but we were able to walk about 250-300 yards to "Boulder Run" and get on the trail there to have a near ski in/out experience. The house is nice and cozy. We particularly liked the open kitchen, large dining table and big couch in the main area. We also enjoyed using the hot tub while it was snowing. The master bed was not very comfortable and had a distinct bend in the middle of it so we constantly were sliding toward each other in the middle of the bed. The upper loft area is open to the master bedroom so there is not much privacy in the master bedroom if you have kids sleeping up there. Since the house uses baseboard heaters, it was very dry despite running the provided humidifier the entire time. If you're going to go in the winter, make sure you have 4x4 drive. We saw more than one mini van stuck and unable to make it up the hill. You might want to rent later than than the second week of January to ensure there is enough snow and the trails nearby are more likely to be open.

Appreciated the helpful staff at RAILEY. Didn't like that there was no air conditioning and some of the windows wouldn't open. It was our first time Deep Creek so we found the pictures of the townhouse misleading as we were under the impression we would be on the lake and not at the top of a mountain.

Hi Laura, thank you for letting us know about the windows! We'll be sure to take a look at if there's anything we can do to make those more accommodating. Homes without A/C are very common in this area, as it's typically cooler weather at this altitude, even in the summer season but usually homes are accommodating with ceiling fans, portable fans, and/or open windows. We apologize the photos of the community felt misleading. We do have those labeled with a caption "Community Amenities" but can see where this may be overlooked. If you're looking for a Lakefront home with Air Conditioning on your next visit, please don't hesitate to reach out to our wonderful reservationists - they'd be happy to assist you in finding a home to suit your needs! - Jenn, Railey Vacations

The house was lovely, and well appointed . The kitchen had everything we needed, as we did all of our cooking "at home". The Hot Tub was very well maintained, and we used it on most nights during our stay. The location of the home was great, with quick access to the Supermarket, Gift Shop, and a short drive to the State Park.

Thank you for the review, Patricia! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay. Sounds like you found plenty to do! There's always more to discover, please come back and explore again soon. - Jenn, Railey Vacations
