This cabin was beautiful and perfect size for our group of 8. We really enjoyed our stay, close to store but felt like you were in the middle of nowhere. It snowed while we were there and made it feel magical. I highly recommend this place.

Great Guys Weekend Trip.

We had a great time at the cabin. It was in a perfect location tucked away from other cabins so we felt like we were in our our area by ourselves. It was great to be so close to everything that Wisp offers. It is only a 5min drive to the Wisp resort and 7min to the lake. We cant wait to come back!

Beautiful cozy and clean

We all loved our stay at this chalet. It was beautiful inside and out. It was very clean and had more stuff there than we expected such as cookware and servings utensils and games. The hot tub was really nice and clean. The location was great as there was a grocery store and liquor and beer store very close by as well as a pizza place and Black Bear bar which we had a blast at. We will definitely stay here again if available for our next trip to Deep Creak.

Wonderful home in a great location

We just returned from a 4 day vacation in Deep Creek Lake, where we rented 'Wispful Dream'. The house had more than enough room for our family of 4-you could easily sleep 10 in this lovely home, and still have plenty of room to spread out. The grocery store (Shop N Save) is within walking distance, and the liquor store , miniature golf,go-karts and several restaurants are less than a 5 minute drive. The state parks are just a short drive, and the Wisp Resort for mountain activities is also right across the highway. Fully stocked (lots of towels in each bathroom!) and very clean

"Wispful Dream" is indeed dreamy!

It is difficult to for us to come up with any negatives. We had our extended family with our 3 married children, 3 grandkids and our single adult child. We were all comfortable and had the room we needed to not be on top of each other. Our daughter and son-in-law are going back with his extended family in 2013. :)

Our stay at the Wispful Dream

My family and i had a fantastic time at this gorgeous house but we did have a few concerns. More so with Coldwell banker. When we go on family trips our main purpose is to get the family together and spend quality time together. Which means we cook huge meals and eat together and play games and not worry about what dishes we are using. Coldwell banker called to complain that we used "all" the dishes and were trying to charge my credit card an additional cleaning fee as they called it because the cleaners complained about having too many dishes to clean. I would probably not use coldwell banker again. But this house was very comfortable and well equipped.

Great location, needs some updates

Overall a great spot for a family vacation - awesome location, close to everything we wanted to do, great for kids, plenty of space for 7 of us. The place in general felt a little unlcean - floors were dirty, needed to be vacuumed, rugs and carpets needed a deep cleaning or just need to be replaced completely. The lower level was very musty and damp. We had to run a dehumidifier the whole time which helped. Had issues getting into the cabin upon arrival. The code didnt work but was quickly resolved by the host. The hot tub was not working properly - only half the jets worked but we still made use of it. Overall, I'd recommend the place, but for the price we paid, we were a bit disappointed that some things weren't up to the standards that it should have been.

Home away from home at Wispful Dream

We had a wonderful time at Wispful Dream and Deep Creek Lake. It was definitely a marvelous break from home. The cabin is spacious, clean, and well- kept. We love the porch area where we had meals amongst the trees , and under the moon and stars! The cabin is pretty and provided practically everything we needed for comfort: bath tub, pool table, board games and of course variety of tv channels to choose from! Various kitchen tools were available for ease in cooking! Sheets were clean. It’s location at the end of the road gave us privacy and peace. At the same time we were within easy access to a supermarket. It really was home away from home! However the following are our feedback for improvement: the grill was dirty - full of grease when we arrived so we did some cleaning before we could even use it; area rugs needs washing or replacement the most; the sofa needs an update- kinda old and sinking; towels are poor quality bec its not absorbent and fabric is pilling; porch needs brushing- old wood; porch railings need cleaning bec of lots of spider webs; kitchen faucet is loose; there was no coffee filter and old kitchen utensils should be replaced. But overall, we had a wonderful stay at Wispful Dream and the fee was right! We will definitely consider going back to enjoy the fall foliage!

Great stay for a ski weekend

We had a very smooth stay for a ski weekend at Wisp. The house was clean, comfortable, and well stocked. The location was perfect for access to Wisp, grocery stores, and restaurants. It also had a lot of fun games stocked for kids. Great for a weekend away with friends and early elementary school kids. We had a minor issue getting into the house at check in but the property manger was really responsive and we were able to resolve it quickly. We would stay again!
