  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.

This place is too close to everyone and you can hear peoples music and conversations. We asked the neighbors to quiet down because of their language and we had our grandchildren. Nope they were very inconsiderate.Do you take down bad reviews?

We want to thank you very much for taking the time to voice your disappointment with your stay. To answer your question, we do not take down bad reviews if they are fair assessments of the home a guest stayed in and how the quality or condition of the home affected the guests stay. In this case, it appears that the main complaint about the property were the neighbors, which is completely out of the control of the homeowner and the management company. We do understand how noisy neighbors using foul language late into the night can ruin a vacation, especially when you have children along. We do have customer service on call 24/7, and If we had known this was an issue at the time and not after the fact, we would have tried to intervene on your behalf, or depending on availability, moved you to a comparable, more secluded, and quiet location. We are terribly sorry you had a bad experience. Of course we would like to host you again if you decide on another Deep Creek Lake vacation in the future. -Susan, Railey Vacations

It does need some updating

Hi, Jackie. We are so excited to hear that you had a wonderful stay at Imagine That!. The homeowner takes guest experience very seriously, and has already taken a look at your guest survey for specific details about what you feel needs updating. Thank you so much for your excellent review. We would love to host you again when you're ready for another relaxing vacation at Deep Creek lake. -Susan, Railey Vacations

Great place with a lake view access. The location was next to Deep Creek State Park, close to the discovery center/beach area. Full kitchen, spacious. Only the basement A/C was working.

Happy to hear it Abigail! So glad you and your group enjoyed the property and proximity to the lake! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review.

This home needs updating

HI, Tamikia. We're so sorry the home did not meet your expectations. Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your experience. We will check you survey and provide the homeowner with your detailed comments and suggestions. Our homeowners take their guest's experience very seriously and use your comments and suggestions to make decisions about update / upgrades, repair and renovations to the homes. Deep Creek Lake is a beautiful area in any season. We would love to host you again on your next visit here. -Susan, Railey Vacations

Our property was very clean and spacious for our group. There were even additional amenities that we were unaware. Overall it was a good stay. Several mattresses could use some updating, and instructions for the heat and TVs would have been helpful. Also, the property didn't have good access to the beautiful, larger part of the lake. The driveway was kind of rough and with the big bump in the middle cars could easily get damaged if not properly navigated.

Hi, Nikki! I’m glad to see that you enjoyed your stay at Imagine That! Overall and appreciate you taking the time to share some ways that it could have been even better. Because bedding preferences can vary so greatly, it can be difficult to find a solution that is perfect for every guest. That said, feedback is always shared with the homeowner and is always appreciated and considered. We’ve also shared your suggestion for heat and television instructions with the homeowner as well as your concern regarding the driveway. Given the terrain, most driveways in Deep Creek are a bit challenging and we do encourage guests to arrive in AWD/4WD vehicles whenever possible. We do want to be aware of any potentially damaging features, though, and appreciate you pointing out the bump you noticed in the driveway. Further, if you found that a home on a different part of the lake would better suit your group next time, our wonderful reservationists can assist you in finding a rental that meets this need and any others you may have. When you’re ready to begin planning your next getaway, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We are happy to know that you had an enjoyable visit and we hope for the opportunity to host you again soon! - Lainey, Railey Vacations

It was a lot bigger than we needed for a honeymoon but for a big family it would be good. The trip was very nice but it would have been nicer with better views and a dock. The free firewood was a nice touch.

I'm sorry to hear that some aspects of Imagine That! didn't quite meet your expectations, Kelly. If views and a dock are important to you, our wonderful reservationists would be happy to lend a hand in finding a home that meets these needs and any others you may have for your next visit to Deep Creek. When you're ready to plan another vacation, please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have or for suggestions of homes that meet your needs. We're glad to know you enjoyed your stay overall, and we hope for the opportunity to host you again soon. - Lainey, Railey Vacations

If you're interested in a home with a private dock and/or beach area for your next visit, our wonderful reservationists can assist you in finding one that meets all of your needs; while these homes do tend to be a bit more expensive, rates do vary and we'll do our best to find one within your budget.

The house was well-furnished with both furniture and cooking items, i.e., pots, pans, etc. Although the view of the lake is obscured by the foliage in the summer and early fall, it is a short walk to the dock on the lake. Pool table and dart board were nice distractions.

Our family was only at Imagine Tha!t for two full days, but we wished we stayed longer!
