The cabin came fitted with appropriate child gates and had pack n plays for them to sleep in. It also had enough for us to be comfortable and entertained together, on the mountain every night when we put them to bed. They probably undersell their amenities, so be sure to look for everything they have to offer. Overall the cabin was very clean, the terms were reasonable, it had everything we needed, and the view/location was perfect. If you're traveling to the area I'd definitely recommend looking into their options.

I was lucky to find an awesome place Called Eagle on 7 managed by Taylor-Made Realtors. They not only made it easy for me to book, but the communication was superior to anything I ever experienced. The place was fabulous, kitchen was fully stocked, comfortable beds and plenty of things to do outdoors and indoors. It was awesome to watch the deer roam in the morning and great sunsets brushing up against the mountains. Many of my family members said it was the best Easter that they had in a long time. Thanks Taylor-Made for your help in making this happen. Chris L

Customer service was apologetic, but offered little solution for this huge (and disgusting) inconvenience. After many calls back and forth we did get an air mattress that we place in the dining room for the rest of the stay and offered a partial refund. The house also seemed like it had not been cleaned properly. The bedding and bathrooms had hair all over and some were stained. No paperwork has been received, so at this point, who knows if they will honor their word with the refund. Bed bugs aside, the house was in a quiet neighborhood and close to the lake.

The cabin across from us had a group of men who were drunk, loud and obnoxious and nothing was done. The owners live right below that cabin and had to have heard them because we were the only other cabin occupied.

Also, I know it was off season, but we couldn't even go for much of a walk on the grounds due to horse manure all over the place. Area was nice, but we wouldn't be staying there again.

Bathroom is on the main floor. Bed room is upstairs. Must use a spiral staircase to get up and down.

Over all we felt there was much privacy give there wasn't any curtains on any of the windows on the main floor. Super steep hill with hardly any lighting to get to your cabin after dark. Seeing how dirty things were really makes me wonder if the place had been properly cleaned before us getting there. We did reach out to management and their response was they would have sent someone out to "clean " all this up had they known sooner but they would go ahead and let the cleaning team know about these issues.... Also I'm not sure how this could be advertised for families but there is only one actual bed and it was a queen sized bed. I couldn't imagine a family staying here and being comfortable. We stayed in Eaglet Cabin.

We made the mistake of renting the Eaglet cabin with shenrent.com. I am heartbroken to say I would…read moregive zero stars if I could. What an absolute nightmare. I've stayed all over the country and throughout europe and I've never had hosts who cared so little about their guests. We were so looking forward to this trip! We paid a premium price of over $300 a night after it was all said and done, so we could have a private cabin with a private hot tub. It would've been a third of that with other hosts, but we paid more to have the hot tub. So imagine our distress when we arrived to our modest cabin to find a dirty, cold, hot tub. Wanting to stay positive, and not wanting to complain, we attempted to turn the temperature up. We couldn't seem to get it any warmer. So finally, I reached out to the host to suggest that perhaps the hot tub was broken. I asked nicely if they could come look at it. They refused to even come look at it and continued to imply that it's normal for a hot tub to be colder than human body temperature! My father installed and fixed hot tubs my whole life. I know when a hot tub is that dirty and that cold that there's something wrong with it. After far more arguing than could ever be considered professional on their part, they finally admitted that they had added cold water right before we were supposed to arrive. They did not bother to heat that water. They did not bother to clean the hot tub or replace all the water. They just filled it up a little with some cold water after the other guests left. First of all, eww, and second of all, how unfortunate. We paid extra for a hot tub and we couldn't use it for the first night of our stay. And it only got worse. We learned when we attempted to take a shower and brush our teeth that something funky was going on with their septic system. Anytime you turned on water in the cabin the smell of sulfur permeated the entire place. Enough to keep you sick to your stomach the entire weekend. When we laid down to go to bed, we looked up to see the ceiling, completely infested with stink bugs. They flew around us all night, landing on us, ensuring that we woke up regularly, jumping up and shaking bugs off of ourselves. We tried to convince ourselves that this is just what it's like to stay out in the wilderness, and to stay positive. We knew the hosts wouldn't bother to do anything about it after not caring that the hot tub wasn't working. So we managed to have a nice second day of our trip in spite of the bugs and the disgusting sulfur smell, and the lack of support from the hosts. but it was the third night and final night of our stay in which things became completely unacceptable. The power went out. The host did not call and worn us that the power was out. They waited until we had spent 30 minutes going around the house trying to figure out what was happening and finally messaged them. They said they were aware it was out and would let us know when it would come back on. No discussion about their apologies or a back up plan. We heard hours later that the power would be back on at nine. And heard shortly AFTER nine that no, in fact, the power would be off all night. These people that rent cabins for a living don't have back up generators? I'm sure they do for their house. I'm sure they were very comfortable. But as for their guests? nope. By that point, it was pitch black. We had been out during the day so our phones were nearly dead. We had no light source. And we couldn't get the heat source working. It took us hours of being freezing to finally get it to turn back on without being able to see. By that point, we were cold and frustrated. Stumbling around a cabin with a spiral staircase in the pitch black, with no entertainment, no light source, and no ability to see the bugs before they flew in our face. You can imagine how many injuries we got. My partner busted his knee on the furniture so bad just trying to get downstairs to use the bathroom that he may have to go see a doctor. We slept terribly, because without an alarm, we couldn't guarantee that we would be up on time to pack and take our own garbage to the dump. Since they charge a fee for every bag you leave behind and expect you to basically clean the place. We got very little sleep and finally the sun rose and we could get out of there. I nicely reached out to the host and explained what a rough night we had and how distressed we were that we weren't able to use any of the amenities we paid for for two out of three of the nights of our stay. I requested that they simply refund one night of our stay and we would be happy. They refused. They repeated that the power going out wasn't their problem, they aren't required to supply a back up generator or lanterns. They aren't required to ensure the hot tub is usable. They don't care that we're unhappy. So I have returned home more stressed than when I left. The stink bugs got into our luggage. Excuse me while I vomit. DONT STAY HERE

After a bad experiences a few years back, I decided to give Railey Vacations another try. I am glad…read morethat I did, as my most recent experience was much better than the others. I was more than happy to run to Yelp to provide an update to my previous review. Me and a group of friends and I stayed at one of Raileys newer properties, Wispering Rapids. This property was honestly one of the most amazing Deep Creek properties I have ever stayed in. The house was So new and so clean. You could just smell the newness and cleanliness of the property upon exiting. Definitely a breath of fresh air, as most of the other home in the area are in need of some updates. The house had a total of six bedrooms and all of the rooms had their own bathrooms! That's a rare find for these vacation homes. The living room, dining room and kitchen areas were massive, allowing everyone to engage with one another while we cooked our meals. The deck held a large hot tub, with a fireplace and plenty of comfortable seating which provided another large location for myself and my guests to socialize. My one gripe, I wish the team had did a better job with shoveling after the recent snowfall. The driveway, walkways and the porch had quite an accumulation of fallen snow, making it both difficult and scary to walk on. Other than that, this was a much better experience than the last.

Beautiful house but very dissatisfied with the many issues we encountered. When we arrived, there…read morewas a white trash bag on the front porch. We assumed it was linens but we did not look. That bag stayed on the front porch for the duration of our stay. Then, right after we arrive, a man comes to the door and said he was expecting the owner as he was here to fix a few things. We were in the middle of unloading so we let him in. He was in the house about 30 minutes. We don't know what he repaired... We arrived New Years Eve and didn't try the hot tub that night as we celebrated New Years. The next morning we awakened to six inches of fresh snow and no snow shovel. We had to borrow a neighbors! After shoveling the path to the hot tub and clearing the front porch and some back deck space, another gentleman knocked on the door. This gentleman informed us he was there to drain, clean, and refill the hot tub. He said no one had cleaned it in a month and the water was green. So no hot tub that day or evening.... We then discover that two burners on the stove were malfunction and the garbage disposal didn't work. We tried to call the Property Management company, but they were closed because it is New Years Day. My stepson spent about an hour repairing the garbage disposal and found someone had put a screw in there. The next morning, we try to call the Property Management company again but after being on hold for a while, it pushed us to voicemail. We left a message and it took two hours to call us back. When we received the callback, we reported all the problems we encountered. She offered to send someone to repair the burners on the stove and we declined, choosing not to have a third service call in three days. She told us their company meets once a week to discuss renter issue and to determine if any compensation was appropriate. A week later, we were notified that we were not entitled to any recourse because we didn't open any work orders. There were two work orders processed while we were there and we self rescued the rest because we didn't want more strangers interrupting our family holiday. We will be back in Deep Creek next New Uears but will go back to AirBNB. By the way, I posted this same review a few days ago on the Raileys site and it disappeared. my review disappeared. I wonder how many other less than favorable reviews they have removed...on the Raileys site, this house only had five star reviews.
