Reviewer Comments:
Overall, we had a wonderful time in Deep Creek and at Bears Lair. The home's kitchen is very well-appointed, with every implement, appliance, pan or dish you could ever need or want (except for a toaster). All of the furniture in the home was quite comfortable. There are lots of board games and books to enjoy, and there is also a Roku-equipped television. The home is in a tranquil setting that allows for lots of relaxation, but it is also a short drive from local businesses and attractions. The inside of home was really clean, save for a few cobwebs on the light fixtures. On the property, we found several cigarette butts in the grass, and some odd rags in the bushes. The biggest disappointment about the home was that there are no screens in the windows! The overnight temperatures during our stay would have been absolutely ideal for sleeping with the windows open and breathing in the mountain air. Instead, we were forced to run the air conditioner (which doesn't regulate the second floor very well.) There is also a safety hazard caused by the living room rug-it curls up at the edges, and everyone tripped over it repeatedly. When we first arrived at the home, there was no key (or rather, no key box to unlock with the code we had been given). We called and a key was quickly delivered, however there not being a key box at the home also resulted in our having to return the key to the rental office on our way out of town. We had to call the rental company a second time to replace the battery in our smoke alarm (it was beeping incessantly when we arrived). This was quickly addressed as well. The manual/binder for the home was for a different Taylor-Made property, not Bears Lair. Despite these shortfalls, Bears Lair is a lovely, spacious, comfortable home, and DCL was a fun place to visit.
