We had a full house here with 9 couples and was great. It rained the whole but the house was large enough that we were not crammed at all. We are thinking of doing this annually just because of how comfortable we all were and the great time we had.

Hi Kevin! Thanks for taking the time out to leave us a review! It's great to hear that despite the weather you and your group still had a wonderful time together and there was plenty of space for all! Please come see us again soon! Madison, Railey Vacations

Carmel Cove was a perfect location for our family reunion gathering. We had multiple generations and accessibility issues so a house of this size is an excellent find to accommodate that. The layout gave us plenty of room to spread out indoors and outdoors while still allowing gathering spaces for all to enjoy at once. Our family group would consider this property again for future rental.

Carmel Cove is a good facility for a large group. Having a bathroom in each room is a plus. Some are small but quite adequate. The great room is well equipped for group activities. We enjoyed several evenings by the fire pit. The commercial-grade kitchen is well-equipped. The hot tub was well maintained and checked by the staff during the week. We learned that the hot tub is drained and re-filled between each client. This converted monastery has a great history that is provided in a photo journal in the entry way. The facility does provide accessibility for those with mobility issues.

We appreciate you taking the time out to leave us with your feedback Daniel! We are pleased to hear that Carmel Cove was a great fit for you and your large group. We hope to have the opportunity to rent to you again in the future. Madison, Railey Vacations

This is a great venue for offsite business meetings with colleagues. Ten of us came here for team building and meetings over the course of two days. Each person was able to have their own private room and bathroom to use during the course of the stay. The accommodations were great! The kitchen was well stocked with supplies. There were plenty of towels to use. The hot tub was wonderful. There was plenty of space to meet, collaborate and spend time with each other. We played games in the game room, sat around the fire pit, cooked together in the kitchen and ate together on the deck. We also rented a pontoon boat from a local boat rental company. Deep Creek is a nice area that I would visit again. I would definitely recommend Carmel Cove as a great place to stay for large gatherings.

Thanks so much for your review, Jean! We greatly appreciate you taking the time to detail your team's experience at Carmel Cove and are happy to hear all good things. We hope you'll be back again in the near future for another team-building retreat! - Jenn, Railey Vacations

It provided everything everyone needed including an amazingly well-stocked kitchen! many of the things we thought we would need we didn't even have to open because it was already there. Looking to book again!

A large group of my college friends make it a point to get together every November. This house kept all 16 of us as comfortable as possible! The commercial kitchen was absolutely fantastic for our large meals, and the dining room had comfortable seating and space to eat! We loved the pool table in the living room, and you just can't beat the number of bedrooms or the fact that they each have their own bathroom! The home had plenty of outdoor space for nice weather. And somehow they manage to keep the entire house very warm in cold weather! We usually choose a different house every year so that we can explore the area more and more, but we've already decided that we will stay at this house every year that it is available! Although there was no one in our group in a wheelchair, we sincerely appreciated that there was full access to the house for someone who is.

Thanks for this awesome review, Christopher! We’re so glad you and your friends had a blast reuniting at Carmel Cove and we look forward to hosting you for the years to come. See you next year! - Lainey, Railey Vacations

This property is everything it says it is. There is nothing better then walking into a rental that is completely up to speed with the website description. Our family was at the lake for our beloved mom's funeral and celebration of life. We had family flying in from Florida, Utah, Seattle, and California. Upon arrival each couple was able to relax in their own room with ensuite bathroom. Nothing better! We could not imagine finding such a dream rental with ten bedrooms and ten bathrooms. The beds and bedding were wonderful. Pillows were nice and there were 4 sets of bath/hand towels and in each room.The only thing that we forgot was hand soap for each bathroom. Easy fix. The common areas were absolutely fantastic. There was plenty of comfy cozy seating everywhere with the red gas fireplace and big screen tv for our families picture tribute to mom. There was a wine frig and mini frig for our drinks and snacks. Pool table was wonderful and walking outside onto all of the decks off of the bedrooms, kitchen and family room was so nice. The commercial kitchen was our big draw to this property and it surely did not disappoint. How grand it is to walk into a kitchen that is completely equipped with all of the dishwear, cookwear, serving pieces and not to mention all of the needed spices, and best of all the best commercial cooking appliances for the many gourmet cooks in our family. We were so very pleased and couldn't believe how well this house flows and functions. We used every shower in the mornings and not one couple complained of having hot water issues. We were so impressed at how private and comfortable the rooms felt. The laundry room was so fun to use. My nephew was ironing his shirt for church while others were folding their laundry and socializing. Even the laundry room was impressive. The equipment shed surprised us yet again when we realized that there were tennis rackets! That was fantastic to strike up some family tennis matches while the elders watched from the dining room. If there was one thing that I would improve on this property, it would be a bigger, better hot tub. Otherwise this property is perfection! Carmel Cove will definitely be on our radar screen for future events.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review, Stacey. We are so glad to hear that your family was able to relax and enjoy each others’ company while celebrating your mother’s life at Carmel Cove. We are honored to have hosted such an important moment and are sending your family our best. - Lainey, Railey Vacations

This is a great place for big crowds with very spacious kitchen, gaming and dining rooms. Our group of 20 loved it through out the stay and had a blast. Outside deck space and entrances to lower level, kitchen and upper level bedrooms are very easy - which is a peace of mind especially with kids. All rooms are very clean and well maintained. Couple of areas where it could be improved are, Kitchen gas cooktop burners are not that effective and taking long time to complete cooking. Bed rooms 2, 3 and 4 have rest rooms without a sink within the bed room. Overall, lots of space, lots of fun.

Pardha, thank you for taking the time to leave a positive and constructive review. We are glad you and the kids in your party enjoyed the home and its layout. We do want to clarify for future guests that Bedrooms 2, 3, & 4 have private attached bathrooms and a separate vanity sink in the sleeping area. We look forward to your next trip for more DCL adventures! - Seneca, Railey Vacations

Rooms were clean, kitchen fully stocked, welcome back with detailed instructions...all of it made this place wonderful!

We're so glad that Carmel Cove offered everything you needed for a relaxing stay, Dana! Thanks for your review, and we hope to host you again soon. - Lainey, Railey Vacations

A unique, charming, secluded property in Swanton, Md perfect for a large group retreat or family gatherings. The rich history of the property is echoed throughout in the furnishings, photography and books provided to the guest to enjoy. The great room is spacious, well appointed, with ample seating and a well used billiards table. There are ten well appointed bedrooms each with private bathrooms, all with shower, some with tubs as well. The kitchen, equipment with commercial grade appliances, is outfitted with everything you would need to prepare and serve meals for a large group. In addition, the two stainless steel outdoor grills are brand new and a pleasure to cook on. The deck, picnic tables, outdoor seating and jacuzzi allow the guests to enjoy dining and socializing outdoors. The community shared dock, a significant hiking distance from the property, allows access to the lake, while the fire pit with Adirondack chairs affords the group to enjoy the outdoors at night. The guest shed is outfitted with outdoor gear (water tubes, fishing poles, portable chairs, etc). Finally the downstairs utility area houses two sets of washer/driers and supplied detergent. A very comfortable, well appointed property.

Thank you so much for your detailed review, Gran! We really appreciate you taking the time to review Carmel Cove and are glad you enjoyed your visit. We did want to add to the mention of the dock, for future guest's knowledge, that the path to the dock is 260 yards, or just a one minute drive from the home for guests that do not want to walk. There is also convenient parking near the dock. We hope you'll visit us again in the future! - Jenn, Railey Vacations
