Amazing 🤩
The property is beautiful, has everything you need and very well decorated. It kept the kids so busy they didn’t want to leave (they loved the loft area and the basement level). Lots of extra towels which is a plus. We will definitely be back in the summer!

Nice quiet escape
We had a lovely quiet weekend. Perfect spot for a weekend get away. The front door lock malfunctioned and the property manager quickly responded and had a new lock installed. We even got some great tips for restaurants from the kind gentleman that installed it.

Dirty
The house was cute but could use a really good cleaning. There were stains on the bedding, floors and walls were filthy, and the fridge was disgusting. The walls are paper thin and you can hear everything. We enjoyed the hot tub and outside area. The hot tub could have also been cleaner. I would not book this cabin again.

Rustic getaway
Quiet, peaceful setting at the end of a steep, private road. Kids/teens enjoyed the game room in the basement, outdoor swings, large deck with plenty of seating, grill, and hot tub. Be prepared for no AC. Bedrooms have ceiling fans. We brought a box fan which was useful in the main living space.

Cozy winter stay!
My husband and I and our two daughters absolutely loved our stay at the Golden A-frame! The neighborhood is quiet and secluded. The house is so beautiful with such great touches! We lucked out with our stay and timed it during major snowfall which added to the beauty! Thank goodness for our 4WD! Or two pups were not impressed with the cold temps and snow, but loved the woodstove. They were scared of the sprial open staircases, so we ended up carrying them up and down as needed. We would definitely recommend staying at this charming house!

Pretty place, unfortunately lackluster
Went for my birthday and stayed 2 nights. The place was very pretty although it seemed like there may have been something’s put together fast to turn it over and rent out. Loose flooring, switches that did nothing, we were also without power for a while. Bedding seemed like it wasn’t cleaned before our stay. Over all it was decent, but felt housekeeping could’ve been better.

Honest Opinion!
House was nice there were issues but I won’t write them on the review. I let the owner know and hopefully that get resolve they stated they would refund me and I’m still waiting for that to happen. Other than that I would give the house a 3. Definitely in a secluded part of deep creek. But the outside needs to be cleaned up with a deep clean there are webs everywhere which makes you not even want to go outside. The hot tub we didn’t use didn’t look to be cleaned.

Nice getaway
The cabin was small but had everything we needed for a nice weekend. We had some trouble with the code and not being able to re-enter the property but the property management team worked with me to get us in. They were very helpful and I appreciate their patience and knowledge of working through the issue as I was a little stressed about it. We played the games in the lower level. My dog was afraid to use the spiral stairs so we didn’t utilize the upper level and took our pup to the lower level from the outside. The kitchen was stocked with utensils and cookware. We also enjoyed the hot tub and cooked some hot dogs on the grill. We had a nice time here.

Weekend get away
Pulled into the driveway and noticed that there were cob webs and dirt all over the exterior. Once inside the place was clean. The blower to clean the deck off was dead and when asked for a new battery to blow off the deck no one responded. We found a house broom and cleaned enough so we could use the deck and hot tub area. There were a few exterior lights that did not work and no tub stopper for our 2 year old to take a bath. Overall this is a very nice place but needs a clean upon the exterior.

Golden A Frame
Pictures of the property mislead me. I’ll own that. We’re a mature couple And we had higher expectations for the furniture comfort (couches and beds). Worst aspect was the beds. Mattresses were sponge material. You sink into the bed and it was an affront to change position or even roll over on this mattress. We opted to leave early rather than attempt a 2nd night sleeping in the sponge. All that being said … if a young family rented this home, I’m thinking it may be a home run.

Had a serious family emergency and was completely unable to contact the host (vacasa). Multiple messages sent with no reply, called customer service and they said there was nothing they could do. Will never be using vrbo or vacasa again.

Look elsewhere
This property was not ready for us when we checked in. The driveway, walkway and deck was not cleared of snow when we arrived. It took several calls and negotiations to get a response from the property management company. The property management company told us there is a snow shovel near by and salt is next door. The main bathroom sink does not drain, loose tiles in the bathroom, missing window trim in the living room and cob webs throughout the property - very dusty. This property is not well maintained.

Fall classic
Traveled from Florida to spend time in the mountains and visit family in Maryland. Enjoyed the location and hiking in nearby Deep Creek Lake State Park. The cabin design was interesting and accommodating. I was surprised at how well my dog managed the spiral staircase. A few hard to reach cobwebs were noticed but the weekend escape with my daughter & grandson was a good time. Highly recommended!
