We just returned from our Anniversary get-away at the chalet and had a wonderful time! The chalet was exactly what we were looking for during our stay! We can't wait to book again! Clean, beautiful, pristine area with great amenities! Thanks again and look forward to our next stay!

Owner response:Hi Missy -- sounds great, we're glad you enjoyed it. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do, and we look forward to having you stay again! Thanks again, Cathy

Your house was absolutely WONDERFUL! We had a blast and it was perfect for us. We loved it (esp. the pool table and hot tub), and hope to come back again. You have an awesome place! My sister and her husband came from Dublin, Ireland. We haven't seen her in 2 years and your home made the most awesome reunion for us! Thanks Again, Sarah Jones

Relaxing Weekend

Hello, I must say your home was very comfortable and beautiful. It was the little touches that may the accommodations complete, like the flower arrangements, the pictures, table mats and other household items. Your book collection was great. We always bring extra household items when we come to Deep Creek like pots and cooking utensils, the items remained in the vehicle, because your property had everything we needed. On Saturday we decided to cook on the grill, the propane tank was empty. I called Coldwell and Banker office, they were very pleasant and stated if we refill it just save the receipt for reimbursement. I would highly recommend your property to my friends. Thanks for a Relaxing and Comfortable weekend. (my husband met your brother next door)

Great family vacation, We stayed at A Dream Come True for the last week in June and loved every bit of it. We took the kids Power Wheels and they drove around all evening, and adults wound down in the basement shooting pool and watching movies on the Big Screen after spending the entire day on the lake. Was in a nice easy to find location, home, was bigger than it even seems on pics, with rooms everywhere. thanks again

Owner response:Scott, We're delighted that you & your children enjoyed our home. We've sold out another summer, and now you've seen for yourself why it really is "A Dream Come True". See you next year! Cathy

Hi Cathy, My family and I stayed at your home just recently and I wanted to let you know that we truly enjoyed our stay. We found your home to be very comfortable and in very good condition and the accommodations worked out well for everyone. I found your location to be perfect, close to a lot of things and the view of the slopes at night were really pretty. We tried a couple of restaurants while we were there, the Santa Fe Grill and the Silver Tree, both were good and the Perkins was nice for breakfast. Thanks, and we will certainly come back again and recommend your home to our friends. Mary Day & Family

Owner response:Mary, we're glad you enjoyed your stay -- the weather sure cooperated! See you again when you come back for the beautiful fall foliage. Thanks, Cathy

Hi Cathy, We just wanted to say what a beautiful home you have in Deep Creek. The location without a doubt was perfect. Two families stayed and we never once felt like we were on top of one another. Plenty of room to enjoy all the amenities and the beautiful view. The children were so excited because it snowed not once but twice. The only complaint we ALL had was that we had to come home! Thank you again.

Owner response:Maria, thank you for the kind words. We sold out yet another season, and we're glad you were able to get one of the last dates. Hope to host you again (tell your friends!) Cathy

Cathy & Alan, What a beautiful home. I wanted to touch base with you to let you know that we had a great time staying in your home this past weekend. Your home provided us with everything that we needed to make this a true vacation! We watched fights on the big Plasma, played pool and darts, and hung out in the hot tub, what a way to spend a weekend! Your kitchen provided us with everything we needed to make eating at home very comfortable, and keep the expenses down. Best of all everything was exactly the way it seemed on the internet. I must admit that I have been dooped in the past, thinking I was getting one thing and then being disappointed upon arrival. But everything was just the way you had described it and better! I was complemented the whole weekend about the "Sweet Pad" that I landed for our weekend. Although I took the complements, they truly belong to you. Thank you! Harley Main North Bend Elementary

Owner response:Harley, thanks for the wonderful review. We're glad you had a great time and hope to host you again soon! Cathy

Deep Creek Chalet Dreamhouse

Guest: Chris A (Marlborough MA)
Date of Stay: 06/01/08 Review Submitted: 06/10/08

What a wonderful, charming and cozy vacation retreat. It was picture perfect, clean as a whistle and well organized. It had every ammenity you could want, including a 50" plasma hi-def TV with Xbox. The owners, Cathy and Alan, were gracious and most accomidating. The chalet was right next to everything on the lake (marinas, resturants, gift shops, golf, etc., etc.). If you want to explore history and archetecture, George Washington's first battlefield excursion memorial (Fort Necessity) and Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece (Fallingwater) are only 30 minutes away right over the border in Pensylvania. All in all, a great place to vacation, a wonderful home and most accomidation owners and vacation home service providers. I'd highly recommend this property to any and all!!!

I just wanted to thank you for sharing your lovely, immaculate home with my family over Spring Break. We greatly enjoyed your home - the pool table was a big hit with my two boys and the hot tub was heavenly (and clean). We appreciated the nice touches (such as the assortment of oxo utensils, hand soap in the bathrooms). The location was great, and we loved being able to walk to the video store, Perkins and Foodland. It's clear that a lot of care went into building and setting up your home. Thanks again, and we hope to be back! The Kalras

Owner response:Kalras, thanks for the kind words. Everyone loves the location, and we're glad you had great time and enjoyed "A Dream Come True". See you next time, and thanks again! Cathy

Hi Cathy, Just wanted to let you know that we really enjoyed our weekend at Deep Creek. The house was exactly what we were looking for, new and spotless! The kids asked if we could live there from now on :) They really enjoyed the hot tub, Xbox and riding their scooters out front. The short ride to the state park beach was great and we mostly had the whole beach to ourselves. It was a great time to visit. Hope you enjoyed your Mother's Day as much as we did! Ally

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful house with us. My friends and I had a blast. It was the perfect weekend for snowboarding at Wisp! The hot tub and pool table kept us occupied when we were not on the mountain. Thanks again!

Owner response:Diana, Glad you enjoyed our home and your ski trip (the 3 feet of snow Wisp received in February probably helped)! See you next year and thanks again, Cathy

Cathy, Thank you for sharing your lovely home in the mountains with our family. Not all could come, but we had a great time with those that did. The younger children loved going up and down the stairs. I hope that we left your lovely place as nice if not better than we found it. Thanks again. Lavonne.

All I can say is "WOW". What a relaxing weekend we had. Your home is wonderful. If you plan to rent again next year for Thanksgiving, let us know. The kids were able to go snowboarding at Wisp. My mother just walked around the house smiling. I can't remember the last time we were this relaxed. Thank you so much for sharing your "dream come true" with us. Ellen and Tom Creegan

I know it is beyond late in sending this email, but I did want to let you know that we really did have a great time at your chalet in Aug/Sept. My husband commented that we really picked a winner and our children will always look back on that week as a great family vacation. The house was perfect, with room enough for everyone and still cozy enough for comfort. Although it was a bit rainy that week, we were able to do everything we wanted to in-between raindrops. We still have pictures on our screen saver that still make us stop and smile. Thanks for the opportunity and take care. Thanks again, Ron and Kristine
