Family Thanksgiving Vacation
House was dirty and there was mouse crap all over the house and even had a mouse run by my foot while I was in the bathroom. Had rolls on the counter and the mice ate them so had to leave the food out in the truck. Called to complain and they only refunded us the cleaning fee for our inconvenience. We would not recommend this property if you are concerned with a clean dust free house and even sent countless pictures to the rental company

Relaxing stay with a great view of the lake.
We went to this cabin/house as a retreat just to relax and read. We got to do that! The house is as pictured but with a few cobwebs around and the windows are in desperate need of washing (so as not to obstruct the view). The big bedroom was a little cold compared to the rest of the house. The fireplace in the living room was a bonus as we like a "live" fire. Firewood was easy to obtain in the area. Overall, we my wife and I had a good, relaxing time. Would go back to this place again.

Fairytale cottage
Cabin was a bit outdated but I think that's what gives it its charm. It reminded us of a small fairytale cottage. The kitchen specifially called to the inner witch in me. We will definately be making use of this cabin again next fall. I can just imagine how cozy it would be when it snows.

looks good inn the pictures
nice location, beautiful views. Loved the quirky log cabin feel but the place has not been looked after for many years. Sheets, towels and beds were clean but the rest of the place had a fair layer of dust and grim. Kitchen was adequately stocked but pots, pans and utensils are old, broken and mismatched. Refrigerator constantly leaked all over the kitchen floor. Tried to use the gas grill and it was so rotten the bottom feel out almost starting a fire on the porch. Dim lighting and missing lightbulbs. Mold and mildew in the shower. A/C is inoperable and looks like it has been for awhile. With all that being said, if some one put $30,000 in to upkeep/remodeling, I would stay there again. I guess you get what you pay for

Quaint, cozy log cabin directly on the cove. Amazing views and water access. Floating dock was going back in the water as we were leaving on 4/10/23. Cabin is very welcoming with charm galore. Showing its age a bit with some soft spots in the floor of the master bath and some other deferred maintenance evident. All in all, a great place to spend some downtime at the lake.

Great Feep Creek Cabin on the Lake
This was an amazing cabin on a great cove . We loved our quiet winter stay and had the fire roaring the whole time. It can use a lot of fixes or updates needed. The roof leaked on the living room couch during a rain storm and also in our shower. The dishwasher and oven weren’t working 100%. The inside grill and ice machine don’t work. The master bedroom rug could use changing as it has stains everywhere and the couch in the living room is old and sinks in. Lots of the outlets don’t work and there was mouse poop on the mantle. The flu in the fireplace doesn’t close but that didn’t affect anything. These are all minor fixes and didn’t affect the fun we had. It could use an actual fire pit but that’s just preference. Just suggestions roof leaking and appliances most immediate just might be helpful. Really did love our stay though. Such a great log cabin with perfect area on lake

Needs a few updates, but this place is beautiful
Had a few issues initially with the hot water tank and heat, but the GM (Rich I believe) of Vacasa was very helpful, fixed the problem and worked with us to make sure our experience was still a memorable one (my wife and I booked this place for a very small wedding ceremony). It meant a lot to us and our family that he cared and worked the way he did to rectify the issues we were having. The house itself is beautiful and has a near perfect view of the lake. If the company does a few simple updates (the couch and carpets are far past their primes and the bathtub in the master bedroom wouldn't hold water) my family would definately stay there again, as the overall makeup of the place was just what we were looking for!

Old Charm Lake House
We loved this semi-secluded, lake front house. It had so much historical charm, with stone walls, high ceilings, wooden beams, and large windows and doors. You don’t need AC, because the house was built to allow air flow and a wonderful cross-breeze. Also, the dock was great. We could dock boats right in front of the house, and take our canoe out easily. The house was well-equipped with everything you need. My only minor suggestions would be a little TLC to the master bath and the draining systems. The showers were a little clogged before we even showered. Also, squirrels or chipmunks chew holes in the kitchen , and steal food. We found one of our grilling seasonings out front, as well as a few things nibbled into. As long as you store bread and other items in the pantry, fridge, or on top of the fridge, you’re fine. These are minor things, and didn’t change how much we love and enjoyed the house. The deer family that lives in the woods next door became our friends, which was so cool. We loved this place so much we are already thinking of planning another trip back next summer.

Character over cleanliness.
Character if the home was great - yard to the dock great, home in a perfect location, BUT LOTS of cobwebs, MBA flooring caving in, MBA wallpaper pealing, carpet stains everywhere, bathroom caulking pealing, scummy, yard work definitely needed. We arrived and there were candy wrappers in the yard and even a bucket of dog poop on the deck and no propane for us to grill. This place has so much potential and needs some serious TLC! I would also NOT recommend dealing with the property mgmt company-Vacasa. And for all the reasons above, I will NOT rent a home in the future managed by Vacasa. Sorry for this review VRBO, but I tried to give an honest evaluation.

Location and Character but needs some TLC
Great Escape location on the water was great and the house has such character and all. Just needs someone to fix up peeling wall paper and better organize the kitchen. Things were stuffed all over the placeand some pots and pans were no longer usable.

Great cabin for a relaxing gaming weekend.
Overall we had a great time. The double fireplaces was a fantastic touch. We like to play games and that made both rooms feel cozy. We could have one room with video games going and the other with board games and everyone was comfortable. Having to supply our own wood was easy enough, just made packing more of a challenge. The cabin was in general pretty clean. The only things we washed before using was the dishes and cookware, but I am inclined to do that in a rental anyways. The beds upstairs could use new mattresses and the space heater in the master bedroom could be replaced. The view was amazing. The water was so close and I imagine in the summer being right there and using the outdoor fire place would be very nice. We would definitely return.

Fairy Tale Getaway
You will not need breadcrumbs to find your way to this delightful cottage tucked away on Deep Creek Lake! Breath-taking views abound with peak fall colors on the grounds that include an inviting small beach area and dock--perfect for kayaking! The inside of the cottage is inviting and quaint with furnishings to match. The fairy tale experience one feels when entering the cozy entryway door and kitchen area with stone and wood floors, rustic primitive decor, gorgeous fireplaces, period hardware inside and out, and perfect cottage colors makes one feel that they have stepped back into a more relaxed, quiet and peaceful time long ago. Our stay was one of recharging and relaxing with family. It was a perfect weekend, even though we did not get a glimpse of any of the many fairy tale characters one would imagine living here in our memories of reading delightful children's books as a child. :)

Very Quaint
This cabin is very quaint and rustic, very much a lakeside cabin. While it is layed out a bit odd, and dark inside, it was a pleasant stay. The cove and lake access were spectacular! The carpets in the bedrooms, however, are horrible and should be replaced.

A diamond in the ruff
This is such a quaint little house with an amazing location on the lake. It has such potential to be an idyllic lake getaway if only some love was given to it. Downstairs beds were super comfy, but stained carpets, old furniture, dirty windows and things that were broken (a/c, ice maker, etc.) made it less than ideal.

Met with mice, bugs, and no power.
First night we had no power for 8 hours. The Vacasa agent that we called was not helpful in this matter and the phone number listed in the binder for the power company was not correct. So had to search using cellphone which had poor cell service. There were 2 flashlights in the home of which only 1 worked that we used to watch where we were going and to watch the mice scurry around the rooms. One night we were awoken by the mice running through our bags around the room at 330 in the morning. Forgot to mention the musty smell of mouse urine on the old stained carpet. Stink bugs crawling everywhere in the house which was more of an annoyance than anything. Don't drink the water, it's horrible unless you have a filter or are boiling things.

Home on the lake was just what we were hoping for, rustic feel with a comfortable place to lay our heads!! The weather was perfect!! Sun during the day and a romantic evening next the stone fireplace. If your looking for modern up to date features; this rental is not for you. For us it was perfect!!

Ideal for those who truly want cabin experience. Quite dark, but pretty views. Unfortunately the bedrooms are quite old, dirty, and the beds are tiny. Rugs are very musty smelling and stained. Hence I would not stay here again.
