DESCRIPTION: Get your ‘Happy Times' on at this lakefront home on one of the most sought-after coves, and best locations on the lake. It’s a perfect spot for docking your boat for fishing, kayaking, swimming, or just sitting back and enjoying the quiet and peaceful cove. The water’s edge is right out the back door! Enjoy your breakfast, lunch, or dinner out on the wrap deck as you overlook the filtered lake views and breathe in the fresh mountain air. The hot tub on the lower deck is great for relaxing and healing those sore muscles all year round. The inside of the home is equipped with all you could need during your stay. From plush furnishings, a loft hangout space, an open kitchen, living, and dining area, you’ll have plenty of space to spread out or gather together. The basement is the perfect hangout space which even includes an antique bar from Ireland that was transported from the family’s restaurant “Whitlows on Wilson'' that recently closed the Arlington, VA location after 26 years. You will find that the chalkboard of drink specials, Buck Hunter arcade game, and Tornado foosball table provide hours of fun! In the winter, cozy up by the fire for a movie night and watch the snow fall outside the wall of windows in the great room. With the homes location on the eastern side of Deep Creek Lake, you get to enjoy the peace and quiet of nature but are never far from the excitement of the area. A short drive will take you to multiple state parks, the four-season Wisp Resort, delicious restaurants, entertaining nightlife, and adventure-filled activities for the whole family.

Wonderful week on the lake. The only problem was the dishwasher did not work and after I called to have the matter fixed, I was told someone would be out to fix it. That never happened.

Happy Times needs work
My wife and I and 2 friends went to Deep Creek as neither of us had ever been there. Both couples were from OH and thought we would give it a shot. My friends had a 4wd truck and I had a front driven Van. My comments are as follows:
1.) Communication with Railey was exceptional. They were very cooperative and helpful.
2.) Hot tub was clean and useable.
3.) Carpeting needs some work and would suggest a deep clean and new replacement as this property must be used alot.
4.) The driveway was a disaster. They say a 4wd is needed from Nov-Mar, in reality it should be year round. Because of the gravel and steepness and turns of the driveway it requires a 4wd year round.
5.) Also the path from the house to the water/dock is very steep and treacherous. The few steps(rocks) that were available loose and unstable anyone to maneuver, let alone older persons. I would recommend not renting this place to older persons.
Lastly, I haven't given up on visiting Deep Creek but I will do more research and ask for more visuals of the property to validate the condition.
The cabin had everything we needed for an enjoyable family getaway. We may come back in the summer months to enjoy the lake a bit more, however, the view was gorgeous.
