Description

DESCRIPTION:
Fern Adventures is a modern masterpiece and easily one of the area’s most unique getaways! This mountain home, nestled amongst the trees, is full of luxurious amenities and thoughtful touches. Gather in the spacious living room to curl up by the stone fireplace or, come summer, open the room’s enormous pocket doors to let the fun spill outside to the expansive deck. The large kitchen looks out over the great room and comes equipped with gorgeous granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, gas stove, and sleek cabinetry. The screened porch with stone fireplace and electric heaters was made for enjoying a glass of wine with loved ones, or for sipping a morning coffee and watching the light creep up over the trees. Outside, the large deck and unique fire pit are perfect for an evening spent under the stars. With the wide open spaces, clean minimalism balanced with comfortable furnishings, and the abundance of natural light and fresh mountain air, it won’t be hard to unwind on your vacation!

Main disappointment, the lawns (front & back) needs done. There’s grass & weeds surrounding the fire pit which made it impossible for us to use. This was the highlight of the pictures of the house. Some minor dust & spiderwebs that we cleaned ourselves. However, disappointing when tenants are charged housekeeping fees.

Hi Barbara! We sincerely apologize about the issues that you may have had during your stay! We work diligently to provide the best rental experience possible, however we are only human and sometimes miss our mark. In the future please feel free to call us here at Railey’s and we will quickly send out our maintenance team, as well as our housekeeping crew to remedy any issue you may have had! Otherwise we are glad to hear that you and your group enjoyed your time at Fern Adventures! We hope to have the chance to rent to you again in the future!

Beautiful home! Just like the pictures! All the kitchen supplies needed for a variety of meals. Lots of space to spread out, and the outside areas were lovely. Lots of wildlife to view daily. SO many deer! Definitely would recommend if others are having an event to celebrate.

Hello, Jennifer. Thank you so much for sharing your DCL adventure at Fern Acres. It's so nice to hear that the home's amenities, layout, outside areas, and of course wildlife exceeded your expectations. We really do love to hear stories like yours.

We rented this home to celebrate a birthday with my parents as well as our children. The home was insanely beautiful inside and out. My wife and I love this design of home so it was right up our alley. There is plenty of room for everyone to enjoy themselves and the great room is such a perfect gathering place for eating, movie night, a fire, games, you name it. The house is well built so unlike a lot of other homes we rented there isn’t much noise from others walking around which made it nice if you tuck in early or are a late sleeper. One thing to watch out for is the thermostats. They are Nest Learning ones so they learned to cool the house down around check out time. When it’s 0 outside you can feel the temp drop quickly so just need to constantly check them to make sure they are at your comfort level.

Thanks for your review, Joshua! We are so glad you had a wonderful time at Fern Adventures and we hope you’ll visit us again soon. - Lainey, Railey Vacations

Very cool house. It is not your typical Deep Creek log cabin. The decor/design is very modern European design. Bedrooms spread out so you have privacy. Very quiet neighborhood. Screen in lanai has a bed and everyone wanted to sleep in there one night or more. It was like you were camping. Very nice deck area, living room, and kitchen. Quirky cabinet doors but interesting design.

So glad you enjoyed, Jill and Philip! We hope to host you again soon. - Lainey, Railey Vacations

Close to the road, can see cars go by while in the hot tub. Master bed very squeaky! Anytime you have to get out of bed, inevitably you wake up your partner. Was worried that houses were being built around the house, but overall quiet.

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay overall, Robert. We'll pass along your comments regarding the squeaky bed to the homeowner for potential improvements. Thanks for your review and we hope you'll visit Deep Creek again soon! - Lainey, Railey Vacations

Great house with awesome views! Saw lots of wildlife - many bear, deer, chipmunks and groundhogs! Loved the layout of the house - and the kitchen had everything we needed and then some! We highly recommend this place - even for larger groups everyone would still have their own sleeping quarters and they are separated so it feels like you are alone, but the common areas are awesome as well!

A fantastic view of the wildlife is one of the best aspects of Deep Creek! We're so glad you had everything you needed for a wonderful stay, Rhonda, and hope you and your group will join us again soon. - Lainey, Railey Vacations

It was a wonderful get-away, the house is beautiful, comfortable, and cozy with many amenities that contributed to the great time had by all. We were a group of eight and everyone enjoyed their stay immensely. There were a couple of details that were missed, the landscaping near the entrance to the front door was extremely overgrown and requires immediate trimming, also there was debris and large spider webs on the house near the entrance and lighting that should be removed to improve first impressions of the property. Once these minor oversights are remedied Fern Adventures would be just perfect!!

Thanks so much for your feedback, Donald - we'll take a look at the outdoor areas of Fern Adventures to be sure all is in good condition for future guests. We're so glad you enjoyed your stay overall and sure hope to have you back again soon. - Lainey, Railey Vacations
