What a great vacation! Your lovely home was the perfect getaway. We agreed it's the cleanest, most well stocked home we've ever rented. We have fallen in love with the Deep Creek area....what a classy place. We're so excited since it's only 2 hours from home. No more driving 10 hours to the beach! Thanks for sharing your wonderful home. We loved the hot-tub, wireless internet and the State Park Pass was a great bonus!

We enjoyed your home so much and were pleasantly surprized to find it so spacious. The boys loved being able to watch their own programs on the 2 TV's. We also loved the board games and books. With this great location and proximity to the slopes, we'll be planning on returning again!

Thank you for being so accomadating in extending our stay to 8 days, although this still wasn't enough in this beautiful home. We would love to return here one day, probably after we complete seeing all 50 States and start again.
