Issues and recommendations
Thanks for the email. Here are a few suggestions. Will start at the front door. There should be a light fixture over the front door so you can read the numbers on the digital pad lock. Very difficult at night, we had to use the flashlight on our phone. In the 1st floor master bathroom sink drains extremely slowly as well as the upstairs bathroom. Also, in the morning you have to run the hot water for about 5 minutes before the water gets warm enough to use. Two towel hooks are broken. One in the shower, the second on the inside of the bathroom door. The shower handle is extremely loose, needs to be tightened. The kitchen table need to replaced or refinished. We had to go out and purchase a tablecloth for the table. The hot tub does not have a lock on the cover, it's missing. One of the pool sticks, in the basement is missing a tip, The deck needs to be pressure washed and discard the old BBQ brush, it's disgusting. In the photo of the property, it shows a grass lawn area between the house and the lake. What it doesn't show is the number of geese droppings all over the lawn. Two houses to the left of her house have fake lawn animals to help keep the geese away. The hot tub doesn't have a lock on the strap. The ramp leading to the dock should be secured, especially for older guests. My self and the guest to the right of us, could not dock the pontoon boats in the slips provided. Too narrow. The location of the house is convenient. Hope this helps

We loved our stay in this beautiful home. There were three families and plenty of space for us all. The kitchen is stocked, lots of linens and comfortable beds. Just a short drive to the grocery store and across the street from skiing. Highly recommend this home for your getaway!

Perfect stay for a ski trip to wisp!
I was here recently with my kids and friends to do some skiing at wisp. The location was right across the street so was easily able to go back and forth as needed. Everything was as expected and for the few items that needed attention the management company jumping in right away.

Hunny House
We were scheduled to be in another property but due to water damage the day of our arrival we were moved to another property. The new property was ok but it was a duplex and on the main road. The property we originally booked was on a private road and a full house. However the transition to everything was handled very well by Red Barn Vacations. We would not be interested in renting this property in the future.

Nice Home
Great location. Nice clean house. The HVAC system was dysfunctional. Could not get the lowest level heated. And the top level overheated. Thank goodness for the unit heaters someone left on lower level where a senior couple in our group was boarding. We were not excited about having to self check ahu unit and find filthy filters to change out . Shame on the maintenance contractor. We had one good day with the fire pit. However strongly recommend a larger more substantial portable one or a permanent in-ground one for the best enjoyment. Also, mid level bedroom had no closet (owners lockup in there) so guests had to hang clothing up on drape rod. Strongly suggest placing a large armoire in that room. Our group rated the house and property management company a solid four star.

Th property was excellent. Even though, we were hit with the remnants of a hurricane, and rained / misted the entire trip, we had enough to keep us occupied. We weren't short of anything in the house during the entire trip. It was great for all of us and we hated leaving.

Awesome place
This is a nice house, lots of updated features in the house, and in a most convenient location. Most comfortable beds in Deep Creek. The bathrooms are clean as well, unlike other houses here in Deep Creek. The three master suites were really nice. We had three families of four at the house and we all had a fun time because we didn't have to worry about any issues with the house. Management came and took care of any issues, and were very communicative. The kitchen is nice - we made some meals there, and management brought over a tank of propane in case we needed it, which was nice. The only thing to be mindful of is with the number of beds available, the number of seating for guests at mealtime requires some strategy. We were super happy with the house. We have stayed at a bunch of houses in Deep Creek, and this one ranks up there at the top.

Perfect Home & Location, Winter WISP Adventure
Our first family vacation to Deep Creek and our 1st skiing adventure at WISP. Highly recommend this home for not only its ease of location (right across the street from WISP), but provided a wonderful home setting for 2 + families, grandparents, and children (infant-11). The home is so well kept, the furnishing, beds, bedding, towels were of higher quality. The kitchen was well stocked for your culinary needs. Endless board games, pool table, hot tub with a view. Great WIFI (multiple children were e-learning, adults were working) and it kept up perfectly. Our children were young and first-time skiers, it was the perfect place to shuttle kids/adults back and forth from the slopes. The manager of the property is extremely responsive and helpful.
