This is Maryland's only ski resort. I have skied Wisp many times and always enjoyed it. Even when…read moreit's icy. This is my first visit in over a decade and the first time not during ski season. The hotel was like I remembered. The restaurant and bar are different than my last visit. Sadly, I can't report on those because they close at 8pm. Even on Friday & Saturday nights. Wisp needs to change that for weary travelers who want a beverage after a long drive. They did do an excellent job handling our group and catering our lunch. The group dinner was given good marks by my colleagues. I want to return to play the two golf courses and ride the alpine coaster.

During our time in Deep Creek, we decided to visit Wisp Resort. I was looking forward to visiting…read morethe Wisp Resort largely because of their mountain coaster. Upon arrival, I noticed how run down things seemed. The parking lot was in bad shape and there were piles of stuff just hanging out behind different buildings. I couldn't tell if they were renovating or what but definitely not how I envision a "resort". I was not shocked to find that the mountain coaster was out of order. Went with the vibes I was getting. We pivoted and rode the lift to the top. It was a beautiful ride, we saw some animals and lots of interesting plants. Once at the top we hiked around a bit and watched some people do the white water rafting. It wound up being an ok time for my family and I despite the coaster being down.

So the funny thing is our pontoon boat broke down on the opposite end of the lake. However, for me,…read moreit's when something goes wrong that you can learn a lot about a company.

We did not process what she was telling us which was a very EPIC experience. The staff was nothing less than friendly and amazing. They told us all about Wisp's best kept secret which is their water rafting. We watched them pump water into the course and walked around exploring what we were about to do. Mike was our guide on the raft and made the experience EPIC. He was super friendly and made sure we were having fun the entire time. Seriously Mike and the entire staff make you feel like you are a part of the gang. To not come here and experience rafting at the top of the mountain with Mike and the rest of crew of Adventure Sports are fun memories and experiences missed out on. I cannot praise these guys high enough. 10/10 Will return! We booked our raft with Mike the day before because the spots fill up fast.

First off, we called months ahead to make sure the boat we were getting could fit two people on a…read moretube. We get to the establishment and we are told we can only fit one person. When we got the boat, we were told to arrive 30 minutes earlier than our boating time, and when we were arrived the establishment was closed and we had to wait outside for 30 mins before they openeded. once we were able to get inside and sign our paper work, they STILL DIDNT GET OUT OUR BOAT ON THE WATER UNTIL 10:15 AM. OUR BOATING TIME WAS 9AM. We paid full price. When we came back with the boat (an hour late like they gave us the boat an hour late) the staff was INCREDIBLEY rude. The one staff tried to run us over with the tractor and didn't apolagize when we all went running out of the way. Spend your money somewhere else. HORRIBLE establishment. Would NEVER EVER give this place my money again.

Pros: great selection of boats, dock workers very friendly and polite…read more Cons: very inefficient front desk and the front desk manager is incredibly rude and unprofessional (talks to customers as if they're idiots, mocks other employees in the open). Overall check in process is inefficient and takes well over hour between showing up and finally getting into the boat. I'd recommend they institute the same customer service that the employees who inspect the boat and help you with the boat and use that at the front desk.

This is my first ever yelp complaint. I am upset with myself that I didn't read these ratings…read morebefore booking. If you plan the rent from this company... please read and take pictures of your boat before departing. I reserved the boat on Friday 7/11 for use on Tuesday/Wednesday 7/13-7/14. When I called it seemed like was interrupting something.. he asked if he could call me back. Didn't ask for a name. He did call back. He was polite on the phone and was able to quickly make our reservation. I still felt like something was missing. I wasn't asked how many people. I had to ask. Wasn't told no pets. Or ANY rules/regulations. I asked how early I could pick up and that was pretty much it. When we went to get the boat we were told our reservation was canceled. No one in our group canceled that reservation! They said someone called and claimed to be getting deployed for military. I was told we could pick up as early as 9AM, but we came to pick up after 11AM. Thinking they just gave our boat away??? The people in front of us did not have a boat reservation. Took over an hour to get the boat. They gave us a "consolation" boat. The thing to pull rafts on the back was broke. They gave us a rope to try to figure another way to tow a raft. Boat was dirty. Canopy was taped together. No anchor. Kids ended up having fun so the day was a success. Day two it was raining off and on. The lake was a little choppy. We stopped to fish and jump in. Our boat wouldn't restart. We called into the marina and the helped us trouble shoot. We had to tighten the battery terminals. Then the canopy started to fall apart the last hour. My daughter's boyfriend was trying to hold it together as we were trying to get out of the rain. It was just falling apart. My husband and daughter were both hit with the bar when it came down. When we returned to the dock, it was like they were waiting to charge us with damages that they knew were going to occur. There was a lady there who was not there when we picked up the boat. She was yelling at us about the canopy and blaming us for the battery wires becoming loose. She said that happens when you hit bumps in the water. We were charged over $200 for gas. The gas gage was broke so we didn't realize that it was low. We were still fine with that charge. They charged us a $150 fill up fee on top of the $200.. also fine with that. We misunderstood the return boat time. First night was 7:00 and second night was 5:00. We returned at 5:30 the second night so that was a $50 charge.. our fault! The guy running the desk was nice, but not super informative on a lot of their "rules". The lady when we returned the boat was horribly rude. She left but the called into the desk. We could hear her telling the guy to "deal with them". She told him that we owed over $1400.00. Added an additional $900 for the broken canopy which was already breaking when we took it out. After reading all these reviews from over 7 years ago, I can't believe they are still in business. Lesson learned.... Read the Yelp reviews! Take pictures when something seems wrong. Go with your gut when booking!!!

While customer service over the phone and employees stopping by were super friendly, the…read morecleanliness of the house especially during covid times was left to be desired. We stayed at Lake Escape -- beautiful lakefront property with views of Wisp. Stunning to look out at all times of the day. There were cigarette butts outside the front step, and lots of dust, crumbs, and even dead stink bugs at the floors closest to the walls; nearly all baseboards, especially corners, were dusty. Home really needs a deep cleaning including deep mopping of the floors. Toilet paper and linens weren't stocked so we had to wait for delivery (very friendly person who stopped by). Also needs a maintenance check of towel rods and light bulbs, and water pressure; for example, master drain on one sink was extremely slow and master shower head pressure was very minimal, making showers uncomfortable and hard to warm up. Master carpet had black spots all over, and tv remote had some sort of food crust on the buttons. The most unforgiving part were the giant black trash bags that were in the laundry room connecting to the in law suite that stayed until our second day stay. Also broken green glass on the front deck near a window, and red solo cup in the backyard. Those all made us feel like the house was trashed before us. While the house had gorgeous views for a winter retreat, cleanliness made the trip less enjoyable. Highly recommend the house undergoes deep cleaning/maintenance check.

In addition, they waited until the day before arrival to let me know the main fireplace was not working (I had booked this place in July). Kendra the manager while initially said was gonna help, disappeared with no call back or email back. I asked for a partial refund because I refused to pay full price for a property that wasn't up to par (scammers) I have called more than 10 times during my visit which disrupted it as I had an itinerary that got cut short just so I was on the property for them to service it. Now today Monday(4 days since I brought up these issues), I'm calling and asking for the manager and they hang up the phone on you (after repeatedly promising the manager will call me back) I'm beyond frustrated and will not book cabins through this company ever again.

We decided the evening before that we wanted to rent a boat for the day. We called everywhere and…read moreno one had any available. I found Bills and was hesitant to use them due to the negative rating on yelp. After I reviewed the ratings, we decided to take a chance and I am so glad we did! A lot of the reviews said the staff was rude, and a bunch also said they were charged unfairly for "damage" to the boat or propellor. We took videos of everything when we got the boat before leaving the marina and decided we would take a chance. We also took the insurance so the most we could lose was $250. Given the cost of these rentals was less than many others, we decided it was worth the risk. Our experience was perfect with Bill's. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Patient with our kiddos questions. Informative about the lake and their advice was spot on. The return process also went smoothly and we were not charged for any damage since we returned the boat in the same condition as when we started. I would call them first next time because of the reasonable prices and great service. We had an absolute blast on the lake and spent the entire time fishing, cruising and tubing. Used up almost all the gas too!

Large pontoon boats available. They speedy enough for skiing / tubing!…read more Friendly helpful staff set us up with a large pontoon boat for 11 adults and 3 kids. We first saw some areas where people were either speed-boating or sailing. The sails were great to watch, but we were faster than them, and they need to set their course to catch the wind. So we scouted out areas where people were tubing and skiing. Everyone was good about making their runs while mindful of others, so they tended to follow eqch other doing runs around a long arm of the lake. Jet skis tended to follow different routes. We took turns, about 15min per run, tubing in the two-person tube provided with the pontoon boat. After about two hours, we took a facilities break at the state park and did some swimming at the beach. About an hour later we were back to tubing! Late in the afternoon, some of us headed home to get dinner going, and the rest went back for more tubing. We spent about 6 hours on the lake! The rental staff was very helpful in getting us docked and unloaded. It cost a pretty penny to rent, i wont lie, but splitting the cost among five couples wasnt bad at all. That's how we do it! And It was so much fun!

Rented a pontoon boat via the web during the month of August. When we arrived at the marina we were…read morethe only customers there. We asked if we could upgrade to a larger engine and pay the difference. We were told that it was not possible, unless we were to rent an entire other boat. It is worth noting that there were boats with larger engines that sat in the marina all day. The radio and depth finder did not work during the rental time. We found out later, the marina staff did not turn on the power for the depth finder, which is why we thought those devices were broken. Once the boat's interior, the tube, and life jackets got wet, they smelled of urine. When we returned the boat, we informed them that the devices on the boat were not working. They asked who helped us. We asked if we could at least apply the rental property coupon to the cost of the rental for the inconvenience. We were told no. I think the customer service there could be improved, especially on a weekday when the marina is not crowded. We were also charged over $100 in "fees". We asked for an itemization of the fees, and they said they could not do that. So, know whatever price you see, add $100 to that price, and use coupons up front. All that said, we did have a nice day on the water with our kids. They had fun, and the boat was safe. We will probably try a different marina next time.

Nice shaded walking on roads by seasonals. Man there helped us fill up propane tank and let us store our rv After check out so we could go do one more thing In town before leaving.

We were lucky enough that there was a County Fair going on when we were there (although very costly admission) that we could walk to as there was nothing else near that we knew of to do. If you don't own property around Deep Creek, you cannot go down to the water's edge because it's all privately owned property, unless you go to the State Park (or rent a boat from one of the shops), which the State Park is about 13 miles (we were told) from there. There are four networks for IT connection (only two showed up on my laptop), but I could only get on once for a few minutes (and it knocked me off). It's so far out, I even had a time tethering into my laptop, which I normally do not have issues doing this. You cannot stream any shows from their internet per their sign, but if you are lucky enough to get on, it's too slow to even worry about trying to do that. They had one restroom/shower building for the entire RV Park, which is crazy, and most that stay there, it appeared, owned boats and were seasonal campers. It's actually so far out that I'm sure we will never go back to here again! If we want to go to Deep Creek, we'll plan well and get a place at the State Park. I think the accommodations there would be much better, with more to do there.
