Great space
Highly Recommend to rent, but not the sturdiest construction so I wouldn't buy one of the homes. Faucets were loose and/ or falling off. Still worked, but I did feel I was close to catastrophe...

A wonderful stay at a fun home!
We booked a short spring break trip to this home with our five boys and it did not disappoint! Vacasa was so thorough with communication so it was a breeze checking in and getting help when we needed it. The home was clean and well-appointed with clear instructions throughout. The beds were comfortable. We loved the hot tub and fire pit. We hope to return!

Great location and property…one complaint
The property wasn’t cleaned properly - dirty towels, wrappers and crumbs on the floor. It felt like someone didn’t come to clean before our stay. Everything else was great. Location, responsiveness, and size of the home.

Christmas vacation
Our whole family of 15 had a wonderful time at this property for our Christmas get together! The house was beautiful and well equipped and beautifully decorated for Christmas. We all really enjoyed the two game rooms, especially since it rained during our visit and we couldn’t get outdoors as much as we would have liked. An added bonus was guest access to the Garrett Community College recreation area which we took advantage of on a rainy day. Another advantage of this property was the separate guest house and rec room which was perfect for the family with very young children who go to bed early and need a quiet place away from the noise! We would definitely come to this house again!

Christmas Vacation
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We had 6 adults and 10 kids in our group and this house was the perfect spot. Plenty of room and a lot of things for the kids to do. My family and I cannot say enough. Great place and we will return! Definitely liked the fact that it was far enough away from any other property so we didn’t have to worry about disturbing neighbors.

Cousins weekend!
So 16 cousins got together ranging from 14-74 and stayed Fri-Sun. Everyone had a good time. Loved the hot tub, the games provided, pool tables, video games. The works!! Whomever took over this property knows how to keep a family busy. Kitchen well equipped, the only thing had issue with was couldn’t get over to work. Other than that⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

In a quite neighborhood
When we reached the house it was 91 degrees inside in July. I call the number in email for emergency issues. They said they would have a technician give me a call and come out, that was on Friday when I reached. Saturday morning came technician give me a call and come out, that was on Friday when I reached. Saturday morning came no call still. still no call, about 130. A technician shows up at the house, named Jason, who proceeded to tell me that the AC unit went out earlier in the week and that the part was ordered but it just came in. Which no one notified me before coming that there was not gonna be any AC. But overall the place was nice, the pictures make the space seem bigger than it really was in the living room, and dining room area.

Vacationers' Paradise
We loved that the house was large enough for all 9 of us to have our own space. The kids loved the bunk room (4 bunk beds) where they could all sleep together! We enjoyed the hot tub, the pool table, and the game room. We wanted to use the fire pit but ran out of time. We had a great vacation and would definitely go back!

Mother’s Day weekend
Guest house great but a shower would be nice. Main house great. Basement shower did have a slow drain. Hot tub great. Deck wonderful. Could use a potato peeler. Regular coffee pot. Larger cookie pan. But in general we were pleased & would rent again.

Confusing due to problems existing on arrival!
The house was a great size. We had several problems when we arrived: 1) On stove only 1 of 4 burners worked 2) Many Pool sticks were broken but we found 2 that were usable. 3) Bottom shelf on refrigerator door was unusable 4) In carriage house, toilet tissue holder was broken When we called to report the above problems, your repair man was there promptly and fixed what he could and took pictures of the other problems. 5) Kitchen was very well stocked for dishes etc. but very disorganized.

Christmas holiday
The home was as described and had enough space for our holiday trip of 11. There was plenty of room and space for crafts, games and enjoying each other’s company. There were a few small issues during our stay: some of the.linens on the beds were not clean (noticeably), the sliding the doors in the main living room leaked during a heavy rain storm where our gifts were and the pinball and air hockey table did not work. Overall we all enjoyed ourselves .

My family and I spent a weekend here celebrating a birthday. We had the most wonderful weekend watching Christmas movies by the beautiful tree the owners set up. They had adorable Christmas decorations. We had an amazing trip. Everything was so clean and organized.

Great value for excellent accommodations
Really enjoyed staying at this property. Was close enough to Deep Creek for easy access to many of the amenities without the cost associated with staying in McHenry. Everything was clean, it was spacious, and the customer service was excellent as well. I will absolutely look to book this property again.

Much Needed Getaway!
This cabin was as beautiful as the pictures. We met our friends there for a chill mountain getaway. There was plenty of beds for everyone and we absolutely loved the wraparound porch and hot tub. The separate game room and fire pit were also huge hits. The place was perfectly clean and the host very communicative. We had no problem checking in and checking out, and went for daily excursions to nearby Wisp and Swallow Falls. It was quiet and tucked away from the crowds but not too remote. We had such a good time that we're definitely planning on returning in the future!

Perfect relaxing week
This home was everything that was shown, very happy. Was a tad surprised that the 5th bedroom was in a separated film the house but it worked out well. Only suggestion would be to stock the house with simple kitchen spices like, salt, pepper, sugar, there was nothing outside of the dishes.

Wonderful place!
We had a wonderful experience. The place was perfect for our family of 8 adults and 2 kids under 3-loved the attention to detail with high chair and portacrib and little kids silverware-missed seeing that on the listing though. Beautiful view of the surrounding countryside in quiet neighborhood with a big yard for croquet and fires with s’mores. Nice touch that the 5th bed and pullout sofa were in the extra studio building-missed that in the listing though. Loved our week and want to come back!

Great time at this house. The space is amazing and spacious for guests. The lockbox for the hot tub is pretty awful tho. It took hours to get it open and then we couldn’t get it back in when leaving.

Decent with pros and cons
This property was labeled as a new listing so I knew it could be a risk renting without any reviews. Here were my takeaways from our 4 night stay. Pros: - Large wrap around deck with views of the hilly countryside. - Bright and open with lots of space - Kitchen has plenty of cookware, dishes, utensils, etc. - Comfortable beds - Hot tub was clean and had a service ticket attached from the day before our stay. - Very quiet neighborhood - Keurig and standard coffee pot in kitchen - Clean bathrooms - Lots of activities available right on the property. A nice getaway during the pandemic. - Streaming devices available on the TVs throughout the house. - Wood burning fireplace in the main living area. Cons: - When we arrived, there were TONS of dead flies all over the floor by the large main windows and the bedrooms. There were even flies on a couple of the beds. It really grossed us out and it was especially annoying to have to clean all of that up after a long drive. There were some live ones flying around the large windows and outside during the day so it seems like an exterminator needs to be called. - No firewood for the fire pit or fireplace. Listing did not indicate we needed to provide our own. - We could not get the Bluetooth sound system in the house to work. - Pinball machine in the carriage house was only partially functioning so it wasn’t really playable. - Some of the light bulbs inside the house and outside seemed to be burnt out or partially working. - Not really a con but there are other houses around so if you’re looking for something totally secluded, this probably isn’t a great fit. Tips: - Bring your own seasonings, cooking oils, plastic wrap/foil, containers for leftovers, and coffee - Bring some lanterns if you plan to use the fire pit or walk between the main house and the carriage house at night. - Bring firewood if you want to use the fire pit or wood burning fireplace.
