We would 100% book one of Railey’s properties again. The house was clean and nicely maintained. It provided a lot of amenities (pool table, mini fridge, multiple fire pits, hot tub, etc.) that allowed our whole group to have an amazing time.
This was the perfect property for our group of three generations! Plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms and three living areas including a game area. The kitchen was well stocked. Had a little issue with slow burners on the stove, but when we called, a nice guy came by with hot plates, until the issue could be resolved by the gas technician. All in all, hope to go back next year!
Home was beautiful and very clean. We had everything we needed there. The only problem was that the stove wasn’t always working. There were times that all the burners wouldn’t work and the oven wouldn’t get above 250. Other than that, the home well suited our needs.
This home was absolutely beautiful inside. Our friends loved the place. The grill didn’t have propane, I called and within the hour someone was delivering a new tank. Customer service was outstanding and the home was super clean. We’re already booking this property again for next year

This was the worst vacation property I have ever rented. We rent a home every summer in different locations, and Ive never been more disappointed. The house is poorly maintained. The owners seem to have put no effort into upkeeping the property. Tiles are cracked, mirrors are rusty, door handles are hanging off. That's just the visual aspects of the property. This house is advertised as accomodating 19 people. We were a group of 15. We filled up every bed and bedroom, doubled up and even tripled up in some rooms. There were not enough bath towels for our party of 15, there were not enough forks for a party of 15, there was not enough seating for our party of 15. The furniture was smelly and had questionable stains on them.If you have young kids that take baths instead of showers be aware, the drain plugs are either missing or just dont work. The plates had mold on them when we pulled them out of the cabinets. Generally rentals come equipped with at least salt and pepper and maybe some other kitchen basics, however, this had none of those basics. In addition, there were several warnings and messages received about keeping sand out of locations, however the house didn't even have a broom to help fight the amount of sand that comes with being in such close proximity to the beach. The only cleaning tool that was supplied was a moldy mop. The only reason I gave it a 2 instead of a 1 star is the location is ideal being close to the beach and the main strip.
This home was well appointed and very comfortable for a large group. The area was nice and quiet as the trees all turned for the fall festival. Deep creek is such a beautiful place to stay, this home makes you never want to leave.
Nice property and location but would not rent again!
Our family enjoyed this home, it was clean and in a very nice location. However, we would not rent again for the following two issues. Since there was only one environmental control, it was impossible to balance the temperature on all 3 levels. The lower level would be extremely cold while the upper levels would be comfortable. Also, the stove required an excessive amount of time to bring water to a boil. Cooking on the stove required a much longer period of time. It made meal preparation difficult since anything cooked on the stove top required much longer than anticipated.
Property was located in a quiet area and dog friendly!
Well stocked with kitchen dishes and appliances.
Very clean and spacious all bedrooms had a king size bed - a huge plus!
