About this property

Mountain House | Pet Friendly, Dock, Great Views!

Enjoy the feeling of rustic mountain living in this cedar chalet. Cozy and inviting, this home is perfect for accommodating the extended family or group of friends.

Wood-lined walls, cathedral ceilings and a beautiful stone fireplace greet you upon entering the main level. The open floorplan lends itself to lively get-togethers with your favorite people. Lots of natural light pours in through the wall of windows giving this space an airy feel. Comfortable furnishings in the great room will beckon you to curl up in front of a crackling fire as you watch your favorite movie on the Blu Ray DVD play. Surround sound is an added bonus!

Cooking for your crew is easy in the well-equipped kitchen. Seating at the breakfast bar and dining table gives you plenty of room to share meals and linger for board games after the dishes are cleared. Sliding doors lead to the deck when you want to grill and eat outdoors on a sunny summer day.

The main level offers two bedrooms each of which is outfitted with a TV, DVD player and AC unit to keep you cool. On has two twins and the other has a queen bed. Both are furnished with your comfort in mind.

Upstairs, you will find another bedroom with a queen, TV, Blu Ray DVD player and AC unit. This is a separate space that is perfect for afternoon catnaps.

Kick-back and watch the big game in the lower level family room that has a TV, Blu Ray DVD player, surround sound and wet bar. A queen sleep sofa gives you additional space for your guests. A bedroom with two bunkbeds and another with a queen bed round out the sleeping quarters.

Surrounded by towering trees, the wrap-around deck is ideal for savoring the serenity of nature. It is a place that encourages you to relax and leave your worries behind.

Your lakefront area with steps descending to the waters edge and private dock is directly across the road. Bring your boat or rent one locally to head out for a day on the lake. When you return, you can spend time swimming, fishing or kayaking.

Close to area activities, it is easy to get out and explore the Deep Creek Lake area. Restaurants, mini golf, coffee shops, arcades and marinas are within a short drive. Wisp Resort is where you will find four seasons of fun. Offering everything from a mountain coaster and ziplines to ski slopes and snow tubing, there is no shortage of fun! Atop the mountain, a whitewater course delivers thrilling raft rides through the rapids! No trip to the lake would be complete without visiting our state parks. Thousands of acres of public land give you the opportunity to hike, mountain bike, canoe, cross country ski and much more!

Make Mountain House your vacation destination, and look forward to making lasting vacation memories in a special place.

For your convenience, this home offers free wifi.

severe disappointment
With two weeks passing since alerting management, several attempts for some response and an amicable resolution with Guest Services and management have fallen on deaf ears, hence poor review 1-Basement, Laundry Room and Bathroom -damp and mildew smell, no dehumidifier -Extension cord running entire width of family room for a fan in laundry room. Safety hazard in an already damp basement -Laundry room linoleum curled up around drain, walls, under utility sink -Fan cooling laundry room -water conditioner is leaking mat serves as receptacle for drainage -Basement Bathroom shower curtain liner was mildewed, ripped. At our expense purchased new liner -Dryer is vented into bathroom through exhaust fan 2-Second Floor-Living Room, Kitchen and Bathroom -Sofa end table clearly not dusted for quite a few weeks -All Ceiling Fans had cobwebs and weeks’ worth of accumulated dust. Kitchen fan was worst -Kitchen stove after oven door handle fell off. -2nd floor bathroom smelled of urine and floor was dirty and dusty. There was no mop, used flip flop and disinfect spray I brought with 3 cleaning attempts failed to rid urine smell Kitchen-oven door handle fell off followed by oven door coming apart separating metal and glass. Had to "tape" door onto front of stove 3-Dock is safety hazard. Cinder block to “step” onto before reaching dock. Worn AstroTurf carpet with mold and slim. Granddaughter fell and came within inches of hitting back of her head

Family vacation
I was disappointed in the house we stayed. 2 of the bedrooms really weren't up to code as they had no windows. There was some sort of leak in the basement where 8 people are supposed to sleep. It smelled wet, musty and very stinky (cat?). We found a dehumidifier and it helped but keeping an eye on that was a pain. When i called to complain, they brought damprid and a can of fabreeze.

Overall pretty good - needed more supplies
I liked that this property had a lot of the 'big ticket' stuff covered within - plenty of bedrooms, great HVAC, and a ton of smart TVs with reliable wifi. That all was very nice and appreciated. However, there were problems that were nuisances to our weekend. The bathrooms had no hand soap, there were no paper towels or trash bags, and we were only given 1 dishwasher tablet...so basically, we were forced to go shopping of supplies I assumed would be essential to the rental property. We also only got 3 rolls of toilet paper, 1 for each bathroom, for 3 days and 10 people. That was another unexpected purchase we had to make. Lastly, as other reviews have mentioned, the angle of the steep driveway is awful. Of the 6 vehicles that used the driveway, 5 bottomed out and scraped while exiting. I'm not sure if anything can be done to improve that but if you drive a low car or even suv, you WILL scrape, guaranteed.

The Driveway from H*ll
DO NOT RENT THIS HOUSE IN WINTER unless you have both 4wd AND about 50-60 lbs of de-icing salt on hand. Have never seen such a steep driveway, & it was coated in about 1" of ice under an inch of fresh snow. House had been cleaned after last renter but probably left empty for some weeks. Runoff from parking area pours straight down driveway; it had frozen & snow had fallen on top. Even w/small SUV & 4wd, military driving training, 3 years of living in Moscow (Russia), & four decades of experience driving on mountain roads in winter in WV, when I tried the driveway I got almost to the top, lost traction, & slid back out into the road (fortunately no traffic, & I got traction & cut the wheel before we shot over the other bank & into the lake). Steps to entrance & deck were also coated in thick ice w/snow on top. Maybe it was a foolish assumption on my part that Taylor-Made Vacations would check the property & clear serious safety hazards before guest arrival? Leaving my 85yo mother alone in the car at the bottom of the driveway, I made my way to the house & found one 11lb jug of de-icing compound. Started to try to scatter it, fell, hit my head on the driveway, & slid the remaining 10' down the hill to my car. Called the property management number. They quickly sent out a maintenance man who put down another 30lbs of de-icing compound. He got his pickup up the bank safely, came back down, picked my mother up physically & put her in his truck, drove her up, & then came back to drive my car up to the parking area. Because the outer steps were unusable for an 85yo with limited mobility, we. brought her in through the basement door. After she had a little cry—the slide out into the road had terrified her—I was able to get her up the steeper, less safe interior stairs from the basement to the main floor. The next morning I called to ask for someone to finish clearing the driveway, parking area, and exterior stairs before more family arrived. No one came. I inched down the driveway, went to Ace, bought 30 more lbs of de-icing compound, & spent a few hours of the 1st day of my vacation clearing ice off the driveway, parking, and stairs myself. The rental contract absolves Taylor-Made of any liability for your person or property due to accidents on steep driveways or access areas around the house. Fortunately, I have a hard head. Other than that, the house was in excellent condition & was perfect for our family get-together at Thanksgiving.

Mountain House Memories
Pretty nice. Kitchen was well stocked. Kids loved the water & the dock. A ladder would have been nice. The trail to the dock was a bit rugged. We all had fun and that's what counts.
