Almost Aspen

  1. Lake Front
    Any property that borders the state-owned ‘buffer strip.’ Lake Front means you have access to the water for swimming and a boat dock if applicable to your home. You can go directly to the water from your door with no road between. Lake Front does not necessarily mean you have a view of the water, since much of our shoreline is wooded.

Spacious home in a great location! The kitchen is well-stocked but has limited storage. Three suites offer beautiful lake views, with adequate room sizes. The main-level suite’s shower is on the smaller side, as are the tv’s throughout the house and the toilets in the larger main and upper-level suites are quite low. However, all beds received excellent feedback from guests. Noise does transfer due to the flooring, but overall, our group of six couples agreed—we’d consider staying here again!

Hi Shadonna! We’re thrilled to hear that you found our home spacious and enjoyed its fantastic location, along with those beautiful lake views from the suites. We appreciate your feedback regarding the kitchen storage; we always strive to provide a well-equipped space for our guests, and we’ll certainly pass this along to the homeowners to look into ways to enhance that aspect. It’s great to know that all beds received excellent reviews—comfort is key! We also acknowledge your comments about the smaller shower and lower toilets; while we aim for comfort, we understand how important these details can be during your stay. Your note about noise transfer is valuable as well, and we'll keep this in mind as we continue improving our property. We're delighted that despite these minor concerns, you and your group of six couples had an enjoyable experience overall! We would love to welcome you back again in the future—there's always more fun waiting at our lakeside retreat! Madison, Railey Vacations

Almost Aspen was a great house for our family Thanksgiving trip. It was so cozy and we utilized the living room fireplace everyday! We loved the complimentary access to the Community Aquatic and Recreation center and definitely made use of it! We hauled a bunch of extra kitchen supplies with us because we were not sure what the house would have but to our surprise, the kitchen was unbelievably well stocked! We had a snafu when the hot tub malfunctioned and lost all its water. We were disappointed we couldn't use it the remainder of our stay but otherwise we really enjoyed ourselves!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience regarding your stay at Almost Aspen Emma! Pleased to hear that you found our home cozy and well-stocked, which contributed positively to your holiday celebrations.

Overall Almost Aspen was an awesome place to stay and we really enjoyed our week. In fact I was ready to commit to booking it for the same week next year until your agent told me next year’s price which was essentially a 10% increase with no repeat client discount which I feel is out of line. What a shame - the entire family was disappointed.

Beautiful home stocked with everything you need. Nice pathway to the lake however no real access, there is a pavilion but it is only for the house next door.. It is located very close to other homes (as in you can see in their windows) so if you want privacy or a little more country you wouldn't want this home . We were a little disappointed in the cleaning end when we got there some of the beds were not made (sheets laying on dressers) and towels were only on sinks in a pile . (Maybe this is normal) Needed to wipe counters off as there was some crumbs etc. on them and some cobwebs in the downstairs bathroom shower But we were guessing we were probably the first rental of the year. So some glitches. Then the home next door had sewer issues so we got to smell sewer for most of our stay as it drained right on the path we had to the lake. But truly glitches, I think. The home itself is very accommodating for large groups.

We appreciate you taking the time out to leave us a review Polly, and we sincerely apologize for the issues with the cleanliness. Our housekeeping staff strives to provide the best level of cleaning possible, however we are only human and sometimes we do miss our mark. In the future please do not hesitate to call into our office and we will quickly send out a housekeeper to remedy any issue you may have. Otherwise we are pleased to hear that overall the home was well equipped and spacious for your large group. We hope to have the opportunity to rent to you again in the future where I am confident we can provide a wonderful rental experience. Madison, Railey Vacations

Almost Aspen was the perfect spot for our 50th college reunion of 8 ladies. It was within 10 minutes of a boat tour, a massage, wine-tasting, state park for hiking, eateries, and groceries. The dining room table was gorgeous and huge!

The property is very nice. The driveway is easy to miss when first arriving. Multiple people missed it however once you know where it is- it's ok. The house is accommodating and was perfect for the size party we had. There was 16 of us. We were supposed to have 20 but some had to cancel. The house would have accommodated all 20 but I do believe it wouldn't have been as comfortable. We did see someone walking across our drive way the day before check out and was taken aback a bit only to realize they dropped tubs off on our front porch. I did not enjoy looking at the tubs for the better part of visit ( we were only there one full day) however I can appreciate wanting to be prepared for the next visitor. If I were to come back in the area I would look at this home again. It was spacious and accommodating.

This is our third time staying at this house, and we love it even more this time. Each time has been an excellent experience but with some minor flaws that we provided input to improve (first time the wifi was very slow, first and second times the hot tub didn't work), this time everything was working perfectly! The layout fits our family very well, the location is ideal, the quality of the furniture and amenities is excellent, and the kitchen is exceptionally well-appointed. Each time we come we notice the owners have made upgrades and improvements that add to the positive experience. This time was no exception, we love the new hardscaping in the backyard! Made enjoying the firepit and roasting marshmallows so much more enjoyable. Excellent rental location, highly recommend!

Thank you so much for the great review, Debbie! We are happy to hear that Almost Aspen continues to exceed your expectations.

Hi there, Debbie! I'm so sorry to hear that the hot tub was not working properly during your stay, especially as you mentioned this is the second year you've experienced this disruption. In the last year, we've not received any complaints regarding the hot tub at Almost Aspen nor has any service beyond basic maintenance been required for this hot tub. I do not see any maintenance requests submitted under your reservation and we sincerely regret that we were unable to address this concern prior to your departure. We understand how disappointing inoperable amenities are, particularly guest-favorites such as the hot tub, and we'll have our team take a look at the hot tub to ensure everything is in order for future guests. In the future, please know that you can always give us a call should you experience any issues at your rental and we'll send a team member to assist. With this in mind, I'm so glad to see that you enjoyed your stay in Deep Creek overall, and we are looking forward to hosting you again in the future. - Lainey, Railey Vacations

We had a family reunion with our children and grandchildren. For the most part Almost Aspen was great. However, there is an open drain in the laundry room which really concerned us - who knows what is growing in there. Another concern was that when we arrived there were 4 windows open and a sliding door unlocked. It didn't look like anything was missing so we didn't call the office. But we would all go back, we had a really fun time.

Thank you for letting us know, Mary. We'll take a look at the drain in the laundry room and if something like the window/door situation should ever happen again (it shouldn't, this is very out of the norm), please give us a call. More than likely the windows were left open during the cleaning/inspection process to allow in some fresh air, but we would certainly always want to be made aware of the situation so that if nothing else, we can ensure this doesn't happen again.

Beautiful home and the space was perfect for the 14 of us. Could have fit plenty more people given they had a pull out upstairs, extra beds in several rooms, and two other cots we found in the closets. The views only added to this house. The only downfall was that we were so close to the other homes with little privacy when on the back porch or in the back yard. People actually used our backyard to get their backyard. So on both nights of our trip we had people walking through our yard while we were outside to get back to their houses. That is why I only gave 4 stars.

Thanks so much for the review, Desiree. We're so glad you enjoyed your stay and apologize that some of the neighboring rentals used your backyard to access their areas - it can happen from time-to-time depending on the renters in the homes and their knowledge of what space is theirs vs. neighboring properties. But if it ever becomes a problem on future stays, you can certainly give us a call and we'd be happy to try and address it for you. We hope to see you again soon! - Jenn, Railey Vacations
