Exceeding Expectations is right!

We planned for a group of 12 adults to spend a long weekend at this rental. We booked it because it had an indoor pool (how cool?!), a hot tub, plenty of communal, and each bedroom had at least a queen sized mattress and its own bathroom! It’s often difficult to find such amenities when traveling with just couples and Exceeding Expectations hit a home run! The kitchen was stocked with all of the basic cookware you could need. There were two large refrigerators as well as two ovens, which worked wonderfully for a large group. The bedrooms were all very spacious and the common areas were as well. There is more than enough room to spread out or find a quiet place for some alone time. It would easily accommodate a few more people as well! The host, Laurie was incredibly attentive, kind, and very responsive when we had a few minor hiccups during our stay. She was the icinig on the cake of the entire experience! We will 100% be back to this rental in the future for family or friend trips!

WE HAD A BLAST

We get together every year for a week. Family members from around the country. This place was perfect we could all have meals at the table together. The kitchen was big enough for 3-4 of to put the meals together. The kids had room to play through out the house. The Poll be covered and inside ment if we had a rainy day it became a pool day. Thank you for the memories!!!

Amazing

I was very pleased with this home. Any questions I had before or during our stay were answered promptly. The house was clean and stocked with the items that they had promised. There was a bathroom for every bedroom so our families didnt have to share. The indoor pool worked out great due to the rain we had during our stay. It was a beautiful neighbor hood with lots of wildlife to observe. Although the neighbors may appear to be close, all of the trees and foliage made it feel very private. Plenty to do for all age ranges. Lots of amazing restaurants. I would love to plan a trip again for next year!

All Around WONDERFUL!

Our family does an annual vacation including grandparents, kids, cousins and friends. Finding that “just right” location for a large group isn’t always easy. Well…we found it here! From the at-home feel of the great room to the cozy comfort of the bedrooms this home (more than just a house) gave us a place to relax, refresh and create summer memories. Some things we just loved: the indoor pool, the supersized dining room table, the natural light through the windows, and I can’t forget the lighted steps! Laurie was an amazing host! She was so attentive, helpful and caring. We had one issue and she was understanding and caring and attentive. Deep Creek 2023 Family Vacation was a huge success!

Another Great Stay

This is our second time staying at Exceeding Expectations. The house is excellent for large groups. The kids enjoyed the lower floors with lots of games and activities. The pool and hot tub were wonderful for fun after skiing. The kitchen and living areas are large and can fit lots of people comfortably. And the owner went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed.

Family Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful time for the 19 of us. There were plenty of things for the children to do in the home.; they loved the pool. We all appreciated the bon fire outside while the weather permitted; plenty of wood. Day trips to the nearby State Park provided hiking and just enjoying the beautiful outdoors.

Better than pictured!

This was a great way to spend a week. Some in our group ventured out but half of us never left! Private, comfortable pool, tons of space on the decks… we usually watch a bunch of TV but we never turned one on here. Laurie did great with our requests, quite a mind for customer service. Though I never liked interacting with the Riley, I will say that when a smoke detector 25’ up a ceiling started chirping at midnight one night, there was someone there pretty quick with a big ladder to solve the problem. I would be happy to return, but may try check out Laurie’s other property instead!

We love this property, it’s location, the owner, and the service from Railey’s. The house’s amenities were fantastic. Our family enjoyed our week in Deep Creek largely due to the home base that Exceeding Expectations provided. We are coming back to this home.

The house was very accommodating for our famiily of 16 (10 adults and 6 children)

The area is beautiful with lots to do. and we were fortunate to have lovely weather. Our only complaint would be the pool. Since it was totally enclosed by glass with a loud dehumidifier running constantly, we found it to be very hot and noisy inside. In the winter, I'm sure it's better, but not in the summer. Being enclosed it also had a strong smell of chlorine. We prefer an outdoor pool. That said, everything else was very accommodating for our family and well supplied.

Exceeding Expectations!

I rented this house for my sister’s bachelorette weekend. We had 20 girls and there was more than enough room! We never felt cramped or on top of each other. The beds were super comfy and linens and towels were provided which was very nice. We were all amazed by how big and and gorgeous the house was. The hot tub was a big hit along with the HEATED INDOOR POOL!!! Laurie was amazing to work with. Throughout the whole booking process she was very responsive in answering all my questions. Even during our stay, she texted and emailed to see how everything was going and if we needed anything. I would definitely recommend Exceeding Expectations to everyone!

The name of the house describes it all!

I stayed at exceeding expectations for a long weekend in September 2019. The owner of the home, Laurie was helpful from start to finish! She was quick and efficient with every step of the process, and I couldn’t ask for better service from the host! The house alone, was AMAZING. Slept my entire party of 20 people very comfortably, and with the size of the house, no one was ever too crammed! Four levels of amazing house, the heated indoor pool, fire pit and jacuzzi were just some of the highlights. Less than a minute drive to the lake and dock, and even in daylight you could see the lake through the trees in the backyard! I would absolutely recommend this house to anyone wanting to stay in deep creek with a large party, it was well worth it! Thank you again laurie!

AMAZING!!!

One word - Amazing! Let me first start by telling you about the owner and management company - the BEST you'll ever work with. We had a trip planned with 5 families that got canceled due to weather. We reached out to Laurie and she couldn't have been more sympathetic and understanding with our situation. She got in contact with the management company and kept us informed all along the way in order to make sure we got a reservation and were taken care of! Absolutely the best experience I have had before our vacation even started! Now the Property - WOW! Everything was great! The house was immaculate and was perfect for our group. Each room had its own private bathroom which made it great that no one had to share! The kitchen and dining area were huge and worked perfectly for our group. The indoor pool was OUTSTANDING! We had 10 kids running around, playing, swimming, and just having the time of their lives! It made it perfect for days when it was raining outside or when they just wanted to get up and go swimming. The amenities were an added bonus as well - included with the stay was a pass to the local rec. center where they kids enjoyed swimming and part of our group was able to get their fitness done in the gym. Our entire group wished we could have stayed longer because this was a fabulous experience and a wonderful vacation!"

Wonderful Stay!

We had a wonderful stay at Exceeding Expectations! It was super kid & adult friendly. The property was clean & someone came everyday to check the pool. The pool was a big hit with all the kids & Deep Creek lake was only about a minute trip from the house. There was a dock for boat rentals down the street (within walking distance). There was enough room to fit about 20 of us comfortably. We would recommend Exceeding Expectations & hope to be back again!

Being with my family was great. However, we wished there was an entry to the outside from the pool.

Also, upon checkout we asked for one extra hour- till 11am. Even though there was no one scheduled to come in that day, the young girl who answered the phone somewhat rudely told me that we would have to pay for a whole day to get the extra hour. This lack of extraordinary service will prevent us from coming back.

About the host

Hosted by Laurie Cohn

Hello, my husband and I have owned this vacation home for over 6 years and love keeping it beautiful and welcoming for our guests. Please let me know how I can help you with your next Deep Creek Lake get-away. I truly love the Deep Creek area (hiking, boating, dining, skiing, fishing, shopping and relaxing). I am available by text, email and phone for questions or assistance. We offer midweek and corporate specials throughout the year!

Unfortunately-we can not host events which would have more than 20 people...

Why they chose this property

4 levels of space to be together (dining, games, watch TV, swim in the indoor heated pool or soak in the hot tub. And still have plenty of space to be "alone" when you need that too...

What makes this property unique

6 Master suites (one of the King bedrooms can sleep up to 4), 7th private room, 2 half bathrooms, indoor pool and the ability for 16 people to sit at the dining room at the same time plus 4 bar stools near by!

For Summer rentals-we can usually accommodate Sunday -Thursday inquiries. Last minute we will look into Thursday-Sunday.
