A well appointed house in a great location - you have some privacy but ear enough deep creek. We will be back! Very family friendly in the details.

I took my kids snowboarding to wisp and stayed here. I've done this a bunch and stayed a lot of different houses in the deep Creek area, and I can say that this is definitely the best one we've stayed at. It's only about 10 minutes from wisp. It was immaculate when we came inside, and it literally had everything you needed. I forgot my toothbrush and they even had new toothbrushes in the bathroom. Plenty of towels, coffee, shampoo and conditioner in the bathrooms, beds were super comfy, it stayed nice and warm in all the rooms. Really couldn't recommend it enough if you're looking for a place to stay in the deep Creek area.

This place sets the bar high for any other rental. The owners had the most organized and detailed information binder available and were incredibly responsive and attentive. The property was perfect for me, my 2 adult children and dog. All of the little touches (basic condiments, k cups, some toiletries and paper products) were the perfect finishing touches on an already cozy and beautiful place. A fully stocked kitchen made cooking a breeze and the cleanliness of the home was second to none!! We would definitely stay here again!
