4 generations of family gathered for a long weekend. The location was perfect for the skiers and non skiers to get to the lodge. Gorgeous views of lake and nature. We had 12 guests and slept comfortably, 16 might be stretching it. The kitchen was fully equipped, the hot tub was used by some even with the snow, and pool table was a great addition. The furnishings were dated but comfy. The hosts were very responsive to communications. I would go again.

The house is big and lovely. 9 of us fit well with the 5 bedrooms and extra couches in the lower level. The property manager, Judy, was exceptionally responsive and helpful.
But the TV package offered little of our favorite channels. There were no en-suite bedrooms so we had to share a bath. (We are the grandparents so didn’t love that idea.). Lastly, everything was very clean but dated. The furnishings could use an upgrade.

Owners are very nice.
Master bedroom is closed off.
Another large section of the house is closed as is the garage access.
House was spacious.
Needs a bit more deck furniture.
Appliances were great.
Furniture was worn.
Hot upstairs but ac worked well in the rest of the house.
Owner came by to access side of house we did not have access to.
The photos show an upstairs view of the mountains; that is the master bedroom, locked to us as well as the area above the garage that had a nice private small deck; that was locked and off limits to us as well.
I may have missed those details in the description of the property or perhaps this is common for the area?

The house is great. My family and extended family enjoyed it and felt very comfortable celebrating my mother’s 75th bday. Large enough to escape each other when need and very accommodating common spaces for game night and meals. Judy was an equally accommodating hosts with clear guidelines and helpful tips. There was a dining room rug that needs some TLC; otherwise, great stay!

This house was a perfect location to host our family reunion with 10 people, ages 12-80. The older folks appreciated the bedroom / bathroom on main level so they didn’t have to do stairs. We all enjoyed the spacious kitchen/ living area, pool table and hot tub. Convenient to everything. Would definitely recommend.

I stayed at this property with some friends for a Ski weekend. The house is located only about a block away from the slopes. It was nice to be able to walk to the mountain and immediately start skiing. This house is spacious and equipped with everything you'll need. We had some trouble getting the hot tub to work, but everything else was great! We will be back.

4 Day Stay
We had a great time at Deep Creek Lake and the surrounding area. The house was a perfect size for our group. We enjoyed the view of the lake and biking up near the top of Wisp.

Deep Creek Family Weekend
Outstanding house that was perfect for our family of 12. The house is spacious and bright because of the number of windows. We really enjoyed the deck and the view of Deep Creek Lake. The entire family enjoyed the area and as an avid road cyclist I found great places to ride and further explore the area.

Dream home for a group vacation
This is a fantastic home to go with a large group. The house is even more beautiful and comfortable than the pictures suggest. The spaces are large and comfortable, the view fantastic, the kitchen very well appointed, the furniture very comfortable. We would come back a million times!
Only a few small details could have made our stay better: 1) a 10 am check out for a group that large is too early. Even the standard 11am would be a huge improvement, it's hard to get that many people ready to go, and the house cleaned up by 10. 2) They really mean it when they say you should bring your own consumables. We had to go out to buy toilet paper by the first night, and there wasn' t even a small amount of dish soap, for example, which we did not think to bring. These small details would be inexpensive, and make the stay much more convenient for guests.
That being said, these are minor gripes. I wholeheartedly recommend this home to anyone.

AC not working - memorial day weekend
We reserved this property in March 2019. We booked it for 2 nights for the memorial day weekend (5/25 to 5/27). We were looking forward to getting away and enjoying our trip to Deep Creek. We had planned to relax at home and enjoy our time indoors at this property. It was a warm weekend. The outside temperature was in the mid-80’s. We checked in the afternoon around 3pm on 5/25 - couple of hours later we realized that the temperature of the home remained warm and uncomfortable. The home was just not cooling enough.. The NEST thermostat showed a temperature of 78 degrees and it was pretty warm and stuffy in the home. It stayed 78 degrees all thru our trip. Bottom Line: Air conditioner was broken and we were not informed about this by the owner of the property !!!! She happily accepted our booking in March which actually said “yes” for air conditioning when we reserved. (Of note, we received a final contract only a week prior to our trip (May 16) which had some shady language in small font, that AC is not guaranteed). The house remained hot and stuffy all night – it just did not cool. We texted the owner immediately the next morning – she replied saying to open the windows, etc. She did not mention, I repeat – did not mention to us at all that the AC was not working when she very well knew that it is broken. The thermostat stayed at 77 degrees the next day as well and we called multiple times that afternoon and evening but she did not respond to our calls. We checked out on 5/27 and subsequently contacted the owner again about the AC issue after we got back, she then told us that the AC was not working. Can you believe it ??? Took our money and is now not willing to offer any compensation for the inconvenience this broken AC caused us. Instead she is hiding behind the shady contract language that “AC is not guaranteed”. This is totally unprofessional behavior on part of the owner. I would not recommend this property to anybody. (Also note, we we filed an official complaint with VRBO which did not help at all)

Spacious home away from home right on mountain!!
This house has it all - 5 spacious bedrooms, huge kitchen with everything you need to cook any meal, family room with pool table and gas fireplace, hot tub on back deck and all within a short walk of the slopes. We will definately be back next year to enjoy all the amenities this home has to offer. Thank you Judy and Tom for sharing your lovely home.

Winter Getaway
Great Ski-in Ski-out rental....We were a very short walk away from Main Street trail. Perfect for experienced skiers (but no access to Green Circles or Blue Squares from this location).
Shared space in this house was great - lots of areas for large groups! Kitchen was fully stocked with plenty of flatware and cookware.
Everything was very clean and well maintained. Both wood burning fireplace and gas fireplace. Prefect for winter getaways!
Overall, great stay!

Great house
We rented this for a multi family ski weekend. We had a wonderful time. The layout of the house was wonderful for us. A large ,well stocked, kitchen and kitchen table so we could all eat together. The kids loved the basement and the parents enjoyed playing their own music upstairs in the living room off of the kitchen. All the bedrooms are very comfortable and the house is very clean. It was an easy walk to the slope and a few drove ( 3 mins.)to the top of the mountain to start skiing there. The owners were very helpful answering all of our questions and always in a very timely fashion. Thank you for making our first trip to Wisp a great one. We hope to be back.

Best Views of the Lake
This was a most excellent location for our family Thanksgiving getaway. Judy and Tom, the owners, were great to work with and unbelievably supportive, answering any and all questions nearly in real-time via text. The house is perfectly sited on top of the mountain with a completely unobstructed view down to the lake with a huge rear deck and rear glass walls to take it all in. The kitchen was completely furnished with every possible dish and gadget imaginable, so all the things we brought to prepare our Thanksgiving meal just stayed in the car. The house is very comfortable with a wood burning fireplace upstairs which is great for adult conversation, a full game room down stairs with a nice flat screen for movies and a gas fireplace and deck to the hot tub, lots of bathrooms, and a most attractive floor plan. And, it really is a ski-in, ski-out location. We'll definitely enjoy returning to this location. The property, the owners, and the location really made our Thanksgiving retreat special.

NOT WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE!
This property is lovely and the view is wonderful.. but it is NOT wheelchair accessible! We spoke with the owner several times and she was adamant that it was. I can send you photos. First, to get IN to the property you have to go up two stone stairs. There is NO ramp. Thank GOD we had two wheelchairs for mom, because if we had only had her standard wheelchair and not her smaller one we would NOT have been able to get her up the steps and in the door (thank God, once again, that she only weighs 120 pounds). If you are wheelchair-bound, you can not get in and out of a bathroom without having the bathroom door open... and there are no railings or anything else to make the bathroom accessible and there is no way to shower or bathe unless you can get OUT of your wheelchair and step over the edge of a tub. We rented for family vacation with my mother, who is completely wheelchair bound. I checked with the owner and was assured that it was accessible. When I called with my concerns she assured me that she had just had renters in with several wheelchairs. If you are looking for handicap accessibility. Keep looking. do NOT rent this place. OH. And I made the mistake of having asked for photos of the 'handicap accessible' bathroom but she never sent to me. I do not wonder why. It doesn't exist. I'm, quite frankly, appalled that she still has it listed here as accessible. I thought for sure she might have had the sense to have taken it down by now after our experience. The ADA would be DISMAYED at this. Did I mention that the doors aren't even the handicap doors? They aren't WIDE enough for a wheelchair. At 81 years old, my darling dad somehow made things work... and my mom is an amazing trooper.. b/c it was crystal clear the owner had ZERO intent of allowing us to opt out after arriving since she had LIED and DECEIVED us. Yes, we could have gotten a lawyer involved and I do have photos.... but I didn't want to sabotage our time together as a family. Did I mention... do not rent?????!!!!

Perfect
This rental was the perfect place to stay with the convenience of slope access and the coziness of the house after a cold day out. We really enjoyed coming in for the night with such a great kitchen to cook in and the great room with fire to relax. The views were breathtaking and the kids really enjoyed the spacious basement with pool table in the evenings. Not to mention a hot tub that helped our sore muscles! This house was enjoyed by all...highly recommend it! (Good tip: if you need rentals, head to the top of the mountain for a less crowded experience at the rental spot there )
Thank you again so much!

Must See
This vacation home was elegant. The view was breath taking. This home offers plenty of space and yet very cozy. We had a group of ten, who just enjoyed hanging out on the deck. Traveling from Philadelphia was worth the drive. The description regarding the property are accurate, its more beautiful in person.
The owners of this property were very accommodating and pleasant to work with. I look forward to returning to this magnificant property, it was truly wonderful.
