Hi Debbie, Thank you for reviewing your stay at Golden Pond. It is a lovely home, and I am glad you enjoyed your time there. Thanks again, Stacy
Great trip for a weekend getaway, would also be good for people with limited mobility to get in and out, as there are no steps into the home and 2 bedrooms on the main level. There were 3 bedrooms total, each with their own bathroom, which was larger than the description. Lake acces through the dock is good, nice inlet for paddle boarding and kayaking as well.

Perfect location on a quite cove. Calm water for small children. My husband enjoyed the fishing. Not for someone who enjoys outings. 20 minute ride to the heart of Deep Creek activities. The house & property were nicer in person than the pictures. Was disappointed that the grass was long and never cut during our stay. Serious mouse problem that took a lot of our time every day disinfecting and protecting things in the kitchen from droppings. Most noticeable in the kitchen but dropping through out house. I would not stay there again or recommend the property because of this.

Hi Kathy Thank you for taking the time to review your stay at Golden Pond. I am glad that you were pleased with many aspects of your stay such as the location and that the home was nicer than the photos. I apologize for any issue with the grass and the mice.

I hope that you will give us the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future and anytime you have any issues at one of our properties, please call us right away. We could have gotten both issues quickly resolved for you so that the remainder of your stay was relaxing and enjoyable. Best, Shelia

Absolutely loved this house! Great location in a little cove (perfect for swimming and keeping your water toys from getting thrown around!), fully stocked kitchen for all cooking needs, linens & towels provided was a PLUS and the house itself was cozy and certainly big enough for our family with some room to spare in the loft! The area is great & neighbors (both homeowners) were very friendly! Yard is beautiful with a nice fire pit to sit out and relax! My only concern was the dock and I found the wooden part to be super warped and we were a little uncomfortable walking on it as the wood was bending and shifting. Otherwise, no complaints and we will certainly be back next year! OH! And such a wonderful price!!!

Reviewer Comments:
The best thing about the home is the location and the lot if you're looking to be on a private part of the lake. The location is set back in a nice cove where boat traffic is minimal and most boats observe as a no wake zone. This makes it nice for hanging out on the oversize dock and swimming. The house itself was also nice and well equipped. The only negative comment I can make on the house is that the cleaning could have been a little bit better. Overall a very nice place I would recommend and would definitely visit again.

Reviewer Comments:
We had a great first experience at deep creek. I was disappointed by the rental property in that there was a water problem in the main room/ hallway - there was a large water spot that kept getting worse throughout the week and if the dehumidifier wasn't on it smelled really bad. The dehumidifier was loud and made the house very hot (and there was no AC so that was rough) . Also on the last night a lot of rain came in under the kitchen door and there was a mini flood . The house was great for the private dock and the neighborhood was awesome I just would not rent that property again. I would strongly suggest remediating the water issues so other guests don't have the same disappointment.

Hi Louise, Thank you for taking the time to review your stay. I'm glad that you had a good experience overall. That being said, I apologize for the issues you experienced during the heavy, summer downpours we experienced. The home owner was made aware, and a new dehumidifier was purchased. We are also working with her regarding the kitchen door. While I understand this will not change your experience, I did want to make you aware that we are working on this. We appreciate your business and thank you for your patience. Best, Stacy

Location is great! Our 3 year old loved the dock and water. Neighbors were very friendly. I am not sure if we were the first to stay at location in a while but the house was very dusty and smelled a little stale. Quite a few spiders in the corners of bathrooms. Exterior of the house was covered in spider webs. Needs to be pressure washed and an exterminated. Rental company was a pleasure to deal with and I would highly recommend.

This was a very comfortable home for our family, including our 2 dogs. The house was great with 2 bedrooms and bathrooms downstairs and a 3rd bed/bath upstairs. Because we enjoy fishing, the size of the dock was great. My only concern was walking onto the dock was a little difficult if boats were going by creating wake. We caught lots of bluegills and perch, and a random Muskie and bass. The yard had a gentle slope that was easy to get up and down. The dogs loved running around, barking at the chipmunks and squirrels. It took about 15-20 minutes to get into town, but it was a relaxing drive and we saw lots of deer.

rented this home for 6 people. Having a second master br was great - my brother & wife stayed upstairs and had privacy while my family of 4 used the downstairs. Right on the lake was wonderful. Home has a small fire pit outside. The kitchen was great - lots of appliances, dishes, plastic ware, etc. Made it easy to dine in. Two notes: Wish there was a hot tub and wish the firepit was larger (and not sitting on top of dried grass surrounded by boxwoods). The main living area was small but worked for 6 people. Anymore and it would have been too crowded. Location was great for us as we wanted to be in a quiet area. House is about 20 mins from 219/Wisp area.
