It was very clean & exactly as described in the listing. The bunk beds, foosball table, & air hockey in the lower level made it the perfect place for the kids to hang out & play. It was also nice to have such a big table on the main level so that our large group could enjoy our meals together. Being so close to the resort was also a plus. Communication with the owners was great & the check-in process was very easy. They were very personable & provided lots of extra information regarding the area to give us more options & things to do during our stay.

Nice location and just a great place to relax. The place is absolutely great and we enjoyed doing nothing (seriously nothing :) When you are on the go 300+ days of the year, you look forward to a week of doing nothing and this home provides a nice quiet place to just enjoy the peace and quiet. We saw deer on our first night there. Plenty of stuff to do around town though. One of our favorite places to go for coffee is Traders which is right around the corner and don’t forget to get pizza from Brenda’s. Firefly farms, about a 15 min drive towards Accident, Md is a nice cheese shop that we always enjoy visiting. Thanks again for sharing your home. We loved our stay! ##### Kim E.

Perfect location for family coming from Raleigh, Columbus, and NYC. We were so enchanted with the town. The house is minutes from the lake, and 5-15 minutes from everything you need. We had s’mores in the yard around a giant fire pit with plenty of Adirondack chairs. Many game nights on the deck or in the great room. Hosts were great and very responsive. When you review the listing, make sure your party is comfortable with the winding staircase - my family was, but my older relatives preferred the main and lower levels. Game table in the basement was a hit with the kids and young adults. 100% would recommend! ##### Marilyn L. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Moti H. 30 Dec 2022 Liked: Communication Disliked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy #### access only by 4x4 cars. House is located on an uphill access road. We came after Xmas, a day after a snow event. The uphill access road and the house driveway were covered with snow and ice and very slippery. After several attempts to climb with my Toyota Highlander, I gave up and had to park a few miles away in a shopping center. Luckily, my daughter came with a 4x4 and had to take us to the house. The main entrance to the house was covered with several inches of snow during our entire stay, and we could only enter through the basement door, which was also covered by snow/ice. The house itself was so so. It is quite old and has a tiny kitchen. Overall, it was not a place to remember. I just hope that the owner will pay more attention to shovel and salt the driveway. In winter, guests should be told (not only in the fine print) that they need a 4X4 to access the house. hechouse. ##### Moti H. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022 Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### David B. 18 Oct 2012 #### Very positive experience! This is an excellent house complimented by a very responsive owner. The house itself is beautiful and the amenities as listed are accurate - especially the part about being great for kids. It was very clean and everything was in very close proximity including the state park, a shop and save for groceries, restaurants, etc. We've stayed other places in deep creek that felt as though we were just staying in a hotel or in another suburban neighborhood but the BRCM lodge is nicely nestled away so you truly have that "outdoorsy" feel. One of the best parts for my family was the fire pit. I grew up camping and loving the campfires at the end of the day with hot dogs and s'mores all around. The house location and fire pit give you that same campfire feel but without all the hassles of typical camping such as sleeping on rocks, no running water, or accessibility to hungry bears, to name a few which are hard to deal with when you have a 2 and 1 year old. The owners are very responsive to any house issues as well - not that we had any that were major in the slightest. All questions we had were answered very promptly by the owners themselves - even one as trivial as if or if not they got the NFL network (the Steelers were playing Thursday night while we were there). We also could not find a lighter in the house but a quick email to the owner and within 2 minutes we had a response and a fire going not long after. Also important to note, the response came while the owners were on vacation themselves in Disney! All in all this was a great place and experience and we would recommend the place to anyone looking for a stay in the deep creek area. ##### David B.

The house was just right for 9 women on a reunion trip. Four full bathrooms and lots of beds. Place was very clean and we appreciated that. The great room had comfortable furniture and lots of room. It was so nice to have a large dining table that easily accommodated all of us. The outside gas grill worked great and the white lights around it was a nice touch. Our weather was cool so we had a nice fire in the fire pit. We hiked at Swallow Falls and Deep Creek State Parks. The only thing missing was a hot tub to soak in after our long hikes! All in all a great trip. Highly recommend the house and the hosts. ##### Amy T.

We had such a great time! The place was perfect for all ages which we had 2-10\. Quite and away from traffic. Great area for kids to play outside and perfect for relaxing by the fire pit. The kitchen was fully stocked and had everything we needed. It was so nice that there was altar baby gates at steps and pack and play there. We have no complaints! ##### Angie K.

We enjoyed the family-sized table for meals and activities. Plenty of beds and bathrooms for our family of 11\. We enjoyed sitting around the fire ring for mountain pies, foil dinners and s'mores. We had periodic rain during our stay, but not enough to ruin our plans for hiking and kayaking. Everyone enjoyed our stay at your home! ##### Kelly F. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2022 ---
