About this property

Mountain House | Pet Friendly, Dock, Great Views!

Enjoy the feeling of rustic mountain living in this cedar chalet. Cozy and inviting, this home is perfect for accommodating the extended family or group of friends.

Wood-lined walls, cathedral ceilings and a beautiful stone fireplace greet you upon entering the main level. The open floorplan lends itself to lively get-togethers with your favorite people. Lots of natural light pours in through the wall of windows giving this space an airy feel. Comfortable furnishings in the great room will beckon you to curl up in front of a crackling fire as you watch your favorite movie on the Blu Ray DVD play. Surround sound is an added bonus!

Cooking for your crew is easy in the well-equipped kitchen. Seating at the breakfast bar and dining table gives you plenty of room to share meals and linger for board games after the dishes are cleared. Sliding doors lead to the deck when you want to grill and eat outdoors on a sunny summer day.

The main level offers two bedrooms each of which is outfitted with a TV, DVD player and AC unit to keep you cool. On has two twins and the other has a queen bed. Both are furnished with your comfort in mind.

Upstairs, you will find another bedroom with a queen, TV, Blu Ray DVD player and AC unit. This is a separate space that is perfect for afternoon catnaps.

Kick-back and watch the big game in the lower level family room that has a TV, Blu Ray DVD player, surround sound and wet bar. A queen sleep sofa gives you additional space for your guests. A bedroom with two bunkbeds and another with a queen bed round out the sleeping quarters.

Surrounded by towering trees, the wrap-around deck is ideal for savoring the serenity of nature. It is a place that encourages you to relax and leave your worries behind.

Your lakefront area with steps descending to the waters edge and private dock is directly across the road. Bring your boat or rent one locally to head out for a day on the lake. When you return, you can spend time swimming, fishing or kayaking.

Close to area activities, it is easy to get out and explore the Deep Creek Lake area. Restaurants, mini golf, coffee shops, arcades and marinas are within a short drive. Wisp Resort is where you will find four seasons of fun. Offering everything from a mountain coaster and ziplines to ski slopes and snow tubing, there is no shortage of fun! Atop the mountain, a whitewater course delivers thrilling raft rides through the rapids! No trip to the lake would be complete without visiting our state parks. Thousands of acres of public land give you the opportunity to hike, mountain bike, canoe, cross country ski and much more!

Make Mountain House your vacation destination, and look forward to making lasting vacation memories in a special place.

Upon arrival we realized the listing is misleading. The dock is not at the house. It is down the street and down a sketchy path. My mother in law could not make it down so we had to drive to the Aquatic Center so she could enjoy the boat with the rest of the family. That was a pain!As for the house: there was not enough pillows for the amount of beds. The showers had no water pressure at all!! Imagine someone spitting on you and thats what you get. The comforters on the beds had some questionable stains. The dishes were covered in dust and had to be washed prior to using.We did enjoy seeing the bears and deer from the deck! We had a great family vacation and made do with what we had but won’t be staying there again!

Lovely House

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was cosy and clean. I especially enjoyed the crisp, high quality sheets. Our group did a lot of cooking over the weekend and were pleased to find the kitchen stocked with excellent cookware, knives and serve ware. The internet was a tad spotty on our third day, but we were able to get by. The only true downside was that the rental company told us the property had a hot tub, which it did not have. Otherwise we had a great experience and would recommend.

Family vacation

I was disappointed in the house we stayed. 2 of the bedrooms really weren't up to code as they had no windows. There was some sort of leak in the basement where 8 people are supposed to sleep. It smelled wet, musty and very stinky (cat?). We found a dehumidifier and it helped but keeping an eye on that was a pain. When i called to complain, they brought damprid and a can of fabreeze.

Listing is misleading - do not book

We were having issues with the fridge maintaining temperatures. The frozen food we had purchased all thawed, the ice cream melted. We contacted the host about this, and other issues and we were ignored. Had to move everything to coolers. The fire pit is built into the ground and the whole property is on a hill so there’s no good way to sit around the fire and relax without thinking your chair will tip over. The trail down to the dock was miserable, you couldn’t get down there without stepping in mud. The pictures of everything is deceiving. Do not book. Absolutely the worst rental I’ve ever encountered. Also did not look like a cleaning crew was there, we had to sweep the decks and clean the patio furniture before we used it. The entire ground floor level smelled.

While we enjoyed our stay, the house had a number of things wrong with it.1. The freezer in the kitchen would not keep things frozen. It was full of water and leaking everywhere when we first arrived, which delayed our day taking care of that. We couldn't keep any frozen food in that freezer, or it would thaw out. We contacted the property management, but you can only text them and they didn't seem too concerned and no one was sent to come look at it.2. The humidifier downstairs was full, and we had to empty it. It fills up quickly and there is no mention that you should be emptying it daily.3. The basement had a musty smell to it.4. The dryer vent let out in the basement bathroom, and the vent kept falling off the wall.5. The smoke alarm in the basement bedroom started going off randomly and we needed to take it down for the remainder of our stay.6. The dishwasher was clean, but the dishes weren't unloaded when we arrived. I've stayed in numerous rental properties, and this has never happened before. So, while dealing with the freezer leaking, we also had to unload the dishwasher.We never reached back out after mentioning the freezer was leaking, we felt it would've been pointless considering they didn't seem to care about the freezer.For the price, I'd think the rental and rental company would've been better. I hate complaining but my whole family agreed that some of these things needed to be mentioned.

Overall pretty good - needed more supplies

I liked that this property had a lot of the 'big ticket' stuff covered within - plenty of bedrooms, great HVAC, and a ton of smart TVs with reliable wifi. That all was very nice and appreciated. However, there were problems that were nuisances to our weekend. The bathrooms had no hand soap, there were no paper towels or trash bags, and we were only given 1 dishwasher tablet...so basically, we were forced to go shopping of supplies I assumed would be essential to the rental property. We also only got 3 rolls of toilet paper, 1 for each bathroom, for 3 days and 10 people. That was another unexpected purchase we had to make. Lastly, as other reviews have mentioned, the angle of the steep driveway is awful. Of the 6 vehicles that used the driveway, 5 bottomed out and scraped while exiting. I'm not sure if anything can be done to improve that but if you drive a low car or even suv, you WILL scrape, guaranteed.

severe disappointment

With two weeks passing since alerting management, several attempts for some response and an amicable resolution with Guest Services and management have fallen on deaf ears, hence poor review 1-Basement, Laundry Room and Bathroom -damp and mildew smell, no dehumidifier -Extension cord running entire width of family room for a fan in laundry room. Safety hazard in an already damp basement -Laundry room linoleum curled up around drain, walls, under utility sink -Fan cooling laundry room -water conditioner is leaking mat serves as receptacle for drainage -Basement Bathroom shower curtain liner was mildewed, ripped. At our expense purchased new liner -Dryer is vented into bathroom through exhaust fan 2-Second Floor-Living Room, Kitchen and Bathroom -Sofa end table clearly not dusted for quite a few weeks -All Ceiling Fans had cobwebs and weeks’ worth of accumulated dust. Kitchen fan was worst -Kitchen stove after oven door handle fell off. -2nd floor bathroom smelled of urine and floor was dirty and dusty. There was no mop, used flip flop and disinfect spray I brought with 3 cleaning attempts failed to rid urine smell Kitchen-oven door handle fell off followed by oven door coming apart separating metal and glass. Had to "tape" door onto front of stove 3-Dock is safety hazard. Cinder block to “step” onto before reaching dock. Worn AstroTurf carpet with mold and slim. Granddaughter fell and came within inches of hitting back of her head

The Driveway from H*ll

DO NOT RENT THIS HOUSE IN WINTER unless you have both 4wd AND about 50-60 lbs of de-icing salt on hand. Have never seen such a steep driveway, & it was coated in about 1" of ice under an inch of fresh snow. House had been cleaned after last renter but probably left empty for some weeks. Runoff from parking area pours straight down driveway; it had frozen & snow had fallen on top. Even w/small SUV & 4wd, military driving training, 3 years of living in Moscow (Russia), & four decades of experience driving on mountain roads in winter in WV, when I tried the driveway I got almost to the top, lost traction, & slid back out into the road (fortunately no traffic, & I got traction & cut the wheel before we shot over the other bank & into the lake). Steps to entrance & deck were also coated in thick ice w/snow on top. Maybe it was a foolish assumption on my part that Taylor-Made Vacations would check the property & clear serious safety hazards before guest arrival? Leaving my 85yo mother alone in the car at the bottom of the driveway, I made my way to the house & found one 11lb jug of de-icing compound. Started to try to scatter it, fell, hit my head on the driveway, & slid the remaining 10' down the hill to my car. Called the property management number. They quickly sent out a maintenance man who put down another 30lbs of de-icing compound. He got his pickup up the bank safely, came back down, picked my mother up physically & put her in his truck, drove her up, & then came back to drive my car up to the parking area. Because the outer steps were unusable for an 85yo with limited mobility, we. brought her in through the basement door. After she had a little cry—the slide out into the road had terrified her—I was able to get her up the steeper, less safe interior stairs from the basement to the main floor. The next morning I called to ask for someone to finish clearing the driveway, parking area, and exterior stairs before more family arrived. No one came. I inched down the driveway, went to Ace, bought 30 more lbs of de-icing compound, & spent a few hours of the 1st day of my vacation clearing ice off the driveway, parking, and stairs myself. The rental contract absolves Taylor-Made of any liability for your person or property due to accidents on steep driveways or access areas around the house. Fortunately, I have a hard head. Other than that, the house was in excellent condition & was perfect for our family get-together at Thanksgiving.

Presentation is better in pictures then in person

The house was dusty’,full of cobwebs ,carpets were stained and not vacuumed. The cleaning crew did a sloppy job of cleaning. The downstairs had a damp disgusting smell, it needs several dehumidifier.The driveway and hill to get too and from the lake is extremely steep. Really should state for people in good shape. I felt as if I was having a stress test every time coming back up that hill from the lake. The hot tub was nice and the dock was nice. Overall I would not recommend or stay here again

Snow needs to be shoveled and plowed

We arrived after a 4 hour drive to find the driveway, deck and everything else not shoveled or plowed. The pictures online do not represent the house or property. Definitely a bait and switch. One of our parties couldn't get up the very steep driveway with a 4x4 and had to walk their luggage up and icy driveway, falling multiple times. The deck hadn't been shoveled all winter. There was so much snow on the front deck, it was blocked off by a bench, but the hot tub was open underneath. The hot tub looked like it was installed in 1974 and the jets didn't work. So basically we had a tub of hot water. If you are going to put your house in a rental program, act like it. I will never stay here again. Total waste of money.

Great location and value

The location was great and though a bit dated, the house was a good value for 5 bedrooms. Cleanliness inside of the house was ok, but the deck and exterior spaces were covered in debris and spider webs, so we had to do some cleaning out there. Beds also weren’t very comfortable and basement was really damp, but they did have a dehumidifier running. Overall we were happy with our stay.

Great Setting for Family Fun

We had a great week at Mountain House as an extended family of 12. The property was well-designed for such a group, and was well-maintained. The kitchen was suitably equipped, and the dock was reasonably accessible. The property is a 12-minute drive to the state park with its sandy beach, and was generally convenient to many destinations in the area. A ladder on the dock would have been helpful.
