My family group of 12 people enjoyed our stay at this property. It is definitely family-friendly! The beds were comfortable; the kitchen was well-equipped and had high-end appliances; and the full-length upper deck was perfect for morning coffee. The large dining table was great for family dinners and playing games. All the bedrooms have a split system air handler and stayed cool. The hot tub worked well. The location is convenient to the business center of Deep Creek Lake, and Red Barn arranged for delivery a rental boat with only two days notice. However, there were a few issues. 1) When we first drove onto the property, we were shocked at the poor state of the yard. There were knee-high weeds all around the house; there were also a few old concrete blocks and pipes throughout the yard. There is a path down to the dock, so walking through weeds wasn't necessary to get to the water. 2) The kitchen and den got hot when cooking; the split AC system could not cool the rooms, even though the outdoor temperature was in the low 80s. 3) There were very few lamps throughout the house; we purchased a lamp for the main bedroom. We recommend this property and would stay here again in spite of the poor state of the yard.
