House was very well kept for its age. It worked for what our group needed. Plenty of space for a group of 10. Reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was because we had to shovel the snow ourselves on the driveway edge, sidewalk, and porch so that we didn't track snow all through the entryway. I understand the owners live out of the area though, so this is really on the property management company, especially since the snow was there for weeks before our trip.

Family vacation

Everyone had a great time. The house was nice. The only complaint we had with the place was the air conditioning, three window units and many box fans. We had an issue cooling off the rooms for sleeping without AC units.
Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 21 July 2025
Thank you for your comments. We have found that the AC units in the 2 upstairs bedrooms will keep the upstairs bedrooms comfortable if you keep the door to downstairs closed and open the bedroom doors. The unit in the living room helps to keep the main floor bearable, but again it helps to keep the doors to downstairs and porches closed. We have had a very hot summer so far, which has made it difficult. John

A lovely location and a relaxing stay

This home easily accommodated our family group of 9 adults, 3 children and 2 dogs. The house was clean and comfortable. Big dining table and very functional kitchen.The front porch accommodated everyone and it was nice just to sit and watch the water. We brought kayaks and it’s a very short walk to the water.

The home was beautiful and right on the water. We could walk out the front door, down a little path and be at the dock over the lake in under a minute. We enjoyed swimming and also just looking out to the water.The house also has a really huge dining room table (with cool decorations in that room) which is perfect for board games or long Dungeon and Dragons role-playing sessions.The deck on the second floor looks right out onto the water and is perfect for watching the sun come up over the lake, especially with a coffee or tea from the Keurig machine in the kitchen.There are also lots of places where different groups can hang out on different floors, perfect for getting together and then having some privacy when desired. It's a great hangout for a large family or group of friends.Also, one final plus, the host allowed us to travel with our cat and have her stay there with us. Most lake houses that allow pets stupidly only let dogs in when cats are generally more well behaved and less destructive. The host of this place said that cats were fine, and our kitty also had a really nice time hanging out on the deck or sleeping in one of the quiet rooms.All in all, this was a great experience. Highly recommended.

Rock Haul

We did not stay at North Glades. We stayed at their other location, Rock Haul. Overall we had a nice stay. The house had a lot of mosquitoes inside before we got there. The basement was extremely damp. We had the dehumidifier running the whole time with a floor fan and by the 6 th night it was better. Our kids clothes were damp from being downstairs and the bed sheets were so damp they couldn’t sleep on the beds. The owners installed a new dehumidifier on our last night. It would also be nice to have scissors and pot holders that are useful. Simple amenities could be updated. There is not much of a lake view when the trees are blooming. There are ALOT of steps in this house so I would not recommend it for elderly people.

Unfriendly owners

The steps were non- standard size, and were very steep and narrow. Minimal cleaning was done. The lights and lampshades were dirty. The carpet was torn and slippery. Most of the indoor furniture was unusable, especially the dining room. None of the outdoor furniture was usable since it was sewn together or was held together with zip ties. There was a particularly nasty note in the kitchen pertaining to spills on the carpet and charging you for it. Who puts carpet in a kitchen???? When the owner contacted me, he ended with "What did you expect?"

Response from VrboOwner on 16 Aug 2022
This guest was not satisfied with anything about the house, it appears. While the furnishings are not new, and the carpeting on the stairs does need to be replaced, no one else has complained as much as this one. Most people appreciate that we try to keep rental costs down by doing repairs rather than replacing everything new yearly. If we did that, the rent would have to be at least double what it is now, and most of our customers would not like that. It appears that this guest was looking for more expensive accommodations. Sorry we could not accommodate that expectation.

Great location

This is a great property. My only 2 concerns were that the property did not seem to be cleaned well, dust on surfaces and while I realize it's not completely controllable, the deck was coated in pollen.. The other concern is if my check in/out times were adjusted by an hr on both ends due to COVID cleaning, why wouldn't it have been cleaned better. Overall I loved the location and seclusion.

Great family trip!

We visited Deep Creek to celebrate my husbands 50th birthday with family who surprised him from AZ. We had age range from 8-66 and everyone had a great time! The property was just as we expected, very fairly priced and we were super comfortable during our stay. We rented a boat for a day and had a blast, and also took advantage of the park pass and checked out some falls. We'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Great stay in Deep Creek

We loved our New Years weekend in Deep Creek - even through the rainy weather. Rock Haul was big enough for everyone to have a bedroom but laid out so that we felt cozy hanging out at the fire pit, playing cards, sharing a meal. There are many nearby state parks and everyone had the same idea to take a walk outside. The parks were jammed thanks to warm weather. But even with the crowds in the park, the house is situated in the quiet of the woods and overlooks the calm lake. The peacefulness was well worth it. Hope to return!!

All we needed!

The property had everything we needed for our stay. While the house itself is not up-to-date, it had all we needed and was reasonable given the price. We took our boat, so the easy access to it at the dock was awesome!

About the host

Hosted by John and Kathy Joyce

Host profile image
I live near Annapolis, MD with my wife Kathy, where we enjoy sailing, gardening, hiking, and cross country skiing. I am a retired teacher and Maryland State environmental manager.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property at Deep Creek because of our interest in cross county skiing and teaching people the sport. The many recreational activities on the lake and many State Parks and Forests in the area make it an ideal vacation spot. We had the house built, and now rent it after we have retired. It was designed to accommodate a large group of people comfortably.

What makes this property unique

The house has a beautiful view of the lake from the covered porch which covers the main floor facing the lake. The lake front across the cove from us is kept in natural forest and will never be developed. We have a boat slip at a community dock in front of the house where you can swim and fish. There is a picnic area with tables, gas grill, charcoal grill and fire pit, and a nice lake view.
