This was our first visit to Deep Creek. A family vacation, 6 adults and 4 kids, age 8-11. The area had plenty of activities to keep us busy and dock was perfect for the kids and adults to enjoy various water activities. It would have been nice if the house supplied a kayak, paddle board or even tubes. Overall we had a great time and will consider visiting again.

A wonderful spot to gather

This is a wonderful home to gather friends together for a mini reunion. Though the weather was rainy we managed to hike several parks, gather together before a roaring fire and enjoy the lake views.

Fantastic lakefront home

Our son graduated grad school in Maryland. We are from California and wanted to stay in Maryland to celebrate his graduation. This property was the perfect place for our family. Beautiful views of the lake. Large and comfortable with everything you need. Clean and easy check-in. Fantastic fire pit by the lake that allowed for nightly family time around the fire. So many details that made our stay memorable.

Great long weekend away

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 rental experience was great. The fire pit near the water was awesome. The rain didn't always cooperate but we'll certainly be back again to give it another go. The house was great, convenient to everything, well accommodated, and just far enough away from hustle/bustle to allow for some much needed R&R with some friends/family.

Vacation week salvaged!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Taylor Made came to the rescue and helped us find a beautiful home to rent for a partial week! We were evacuated from the Outerbanks of North Caroline due to Hurricane Florence just after 2 days of our vacation week at the beach. Having visited Deep Creek Lake many times before, we quickly called to see if we could spend the rest of our vacation week on the lake. Lakeside Dreamin' was available and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. Location, cleanliness, a well-stocked kitchen, recreational games and equipment, and the view were all top-notch!! The dock, firepit, and hot tub were fabulous extras!

Great Place to spend a week!

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: This might be a second review, do not know if the first one got through! Our family has stayed at Deep Creek many times and this house was the nicest one we have ever stayed in. It was well equipped with all we needed, roomy, and had great beds and wonderful towels. If I had one negative, it would be access to the dock; difficult to get on the dock from the hillside. Also, the master bedroom on the lower level needed attention to the screen on the door and a good cleaning around the door. BUT, all in all, a wonderful week!

Our stay at Deep Creek

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everyone loved the lake and the house. We had a wonderful time. We were disappointed that we couldn't sit on the decks for 3 days due to the extreme noise from the tree cutting on the properties on both sides of the house. Our cars were completely covered in sawdust.
Response from VrboOwner on 23 Sept, 2023
Hi Beth, Thank you for taking the time to review your stay! I am glad you had a good time overall and that you enjoyed the lake. I apologize that tree removal was happening at the neighboring private residences. This is an unusual occurrence, and I am truly sorry that it had an impact on your stay. I hope that you will return to Deep Creek for a more carefree getaway! Thanks again, Stacy

Beautiful lakefront

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our first rental with Taylor Made. Taylor Made's customer service is responsive and timely. Lakeside Dreamin is well decorated and fully stocked. We've been coming to Deep Creek for ten yrs and this was the most well stocked home with clean interiors and stylish decor. We did experience an issue with the fireplace draft however maintenance and customer service stayed in touch with us to remedy the situation and to advise the owners. You can see the owners special touches throughout.

Lakeside Dreaming was a Dream Come True!

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: Our family was looking for a place where we could meet for Thanksgiving. We were traveling from Pennsylvania, Virginia and Maryland. Deep Creek Lake fit the bill. Lakeside Dreamin' was perfect for a group of ten. The house was clean, comfortable, and had a well-stocked kitchen- key for a Thanksgiving feast. The location was convenient and had a great view of the lake. The decor of the house made for a "homey" feel and the extra touches, like the decorated Christmas tree, went above and beyond expectations. The staff at Taylor Made were pleasant and accommodating throughout the entire rental process.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Comfy Weekend Getaway tastefully decorated. The outside isn't much too look at from the road but the inside is really nice and it's equipped with just about everything you need. Only problem we had was the Wi-Fi wasn't working for 1 of the 2 days we were there and it was football weekend so we had to go out to see the game. Not what we wanted to do. They were great about taking care of it for us though.
