Our stay was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away. The house itself was spacious, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. One of the highlights was the outdoor space—whether we were sipping coffee on the deck, grilling in the evening, or sitting by the fire pit under the stars, every moment felt special. Inside, the home was clean and well-maintained, with cozy furniture and a fully stocked kitchen that made meal prep a breeze. The bedrooms were comfortable, and the large windows let in plenty of natural light. The game room was an added bonus, providing entertainment for both kids and adults during downtime. The location was perfect—secluded enough for privacy but still close to restaurants.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review Lisa! We are thrilled to hear that you had such a fantastic stay at our vacation home. Providing a comfortable and relaxing experience for our guests is our top priority, so we are delighted that the house, outdoor amenities, and location exceeded your expectations. We appreciate you taking the time to share your positive feedback, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable getaway. Madison, Railey Vacations

We had a lovely stay at this cabin. The house can comfortably accommodate the “sleeps 25” description and is great for a large group. A couple of notes below: 1. The reservation includes both houses 2. There are two rooms with bunk beds in the main house 3. The walk to the dock is about 10 mins and you are only allowed one boat slip 4. The reservation does not include any cleaning supplies, dish soap, laundry detergent, or hand soap 5. Bring a lot of trash bags and expect to notify the company about excess trash if you have a group 6. The outdoor furniture is dated and mismatched 7. The house is a 10 min drive from the honi honi bar 8. Plenty of towels and linens provided for bathroom. Bring your own beach towel and anything you would want for the lake. The house does not come with any extras

Thank you for your detailed review Natalie. We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that you had a lovely stay at our cabin. We would like to mention that we do list the items we do and do not provide in your pre arrival email, the terms and conditions, as well as posted on our site.

Great stay, beautiful home and location which met all of our needs. Would highly recommend. Only complaint was grass was over a foot high when we arrived, looked like it hadn't been cut this year and made the yard unusable. However, after calling to report the yard condition a crew came out and got everything mowed. They were very nice and apologetic about the yard condition and had the property mowed and we were able to then use the yard

Thank you for taking the time out to leave us with your thoughts Andy. We appreciate your understanding and are glad we were able to promptly address the yard condition. Your feedback helps us improve, and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future! Madison, Railey Vacations

Log Retreat worked well for our group of 21. We were there over the Christmas holiday, and were surprised and delighted to find both houses were decorated for the holidays, including fully lit trees in each! That was truly a treat, and much appreciated! Spaces in the houses are comfortable and generous, with large bedrooms. The mattresses were firm and comfortable, and the towels were nice quality. Log Mahal's kitchen was good for group cooking. It's very well-equipped, with loads of dishes, extra bowls and platters, glassware, silverware, good quality knives, a griddle, toaster, crock pot, blender - really, anything you could want. That was great! Finally, we didn't use the outside area because we had rainy winter weather, but the property would be great for outdoor fun. Things to consider: Log Mahal, the main house, has single-zone heating, so it was hard to create a comfortable temperature throughout the house. Also, the log portion of the house (top 2 floors) is drafty, so when the temps were near freezing, it was COLD inside. When it warmed up to the mid-40s, everyone was much more comfortable. (This didn't seem to be an issue in the Log Hut.) Also, because we had a large group, there wasn't enough seating for us to eat together in the main house. We brought folding tables, and luckily there was room to set them up next to the main dining table so we could eat together. We had a few other small glitches (a drawer was stuck, had to use a match to light one burner, etc.), but nothing we couldn't handle and not worth calling maintenance about. Lastly, the house seemed dark, especially in some of the bedrooms. SO - overall, while a few things could be improved, we were very happy with our stay at the Log Retreat. It was a terrific place for our extended family to enjoy Christmas together!

We appreciate you taking the time out to leave us with your thoughts Jean! We will be sure to pass along all of your suggestions to the homeowners for consideration for future improvements. It's wonderful to hear that overall the home, location, and amenities all came together for an amazing rental experience for the holidays. We hope we will have the chance to rent to you again in the future! Madison, Railey Vacations

The dishwasher didn’t work, the stove didn’t light unless we used the lighter, the hot tub needed almost 4hrs to heat up and the pool and gym was not on the property and not accessible, nor was the dock. However our gathering was perfect.

Hi Iyanna! We appreciate you taking the time out to leave us with your feedback and apologize for any inconvience you experienced during your stay. We will be sure to alert our maintenance department on the issue concerning the stove to ensure it is repaired for future stays. We would like to mention that we do try to include information concerning the homes amenities in every way possible ahead of booking and arrival; and while we do try to let our guests know of any our changes or maintenance we hear about, we’re not responsible for separate facilities and their decisions to close or operate on special hours. Otherwise we are glad you and your group had a good time and we hope to see you again soon! Madison, Railey Vacations

Loved it and the grounds! It was great to have the tennis court and basketball hoop as well as the fire pit area and green space to play and run around in. We had 24 people total in the two houses and it didn’t seem crowded. It was nice to have both the houses so you could always find a quiet spot when needed. We cooked a lot, especially in the kitchen of the larger house, and that worked out very well. Plenty of pots and pans as well as dishes and utensils. We enjoyed the large picnic style table off the kitchen as well the outdoor seating options. Nice location with lake access and not far from anything. Overall we were very satisfied although some of the mattresses were getting old and could be replaced. As other reviews have mentioned, to get the upstairs bedrooms cool enough we did have to crank up the ac and the bottom floor bedrooms got chilly. But there were plenty of blankets to cope with that. Also the ice machine on the fridge didn’t keep up with demand so be sure to bring some. We’d definitely recommend Log Retreat for a large family group.

Hi Alison! Thanks so much for taking the time to share your positive experience! We will be sure to let our homeowners, and maintenance department about the issue concerning the temperature to ensure it is repaired for future rentals. Otherwise,, the Railey's staff and homeowners strive to provide the best rental experience possible and we love to hear when we have achieved that. We're glad that you and your family loved your time at Log Retreat, and we look forward to seeing you again soon! Madison, Railey Vacations

Great location and beautiful homes for a large party. We loved using the dog park to watch the pups run around. Hot tub, fire place inside, and fire pit outside- this house had everything for a perfect ski weekend! My only negative was Railey vacations, they emailed our code to get in to the wrong email and then the code didn’t work for the 2nd property. Once that was sorted and we could get in it was a great experience!

Great place for our 8th annual family vacation to DCL. Quiet, private and a bit secluded from the hustle and bustle! Age range 2 months to 73 yrs and there was something for everyone. Firepit was great for nightly s'mores. Kids loved the swing set/play structure. The yard allowed us to play croquet and frisbee golf. The tennis/basketball court was also used for kids and their scooters. The dog run was large and perfect for our dogs to run and exercise unleashed. Everything inside was in great shape. Our only regret was not being closer to the water (but we knew that when we signed up)! Would definitely return to Log Retreat!!

Wow! We appreciate you taking the time out to leave us a review and are so happy to hear that you and your family enjoyed your time at Log Retreat Lisa!

Great for Large Groups - Not Really Impressed with Condition

Reviewed on 2022-06-08 by Sarah Fronczek

We stayed there with several other families and we were pleased with the number of bedrooms and space to accommodate that many people. I was extremely disappointed in the lawn upkeep. The grass had clearly not been cut in awhile and was up past my ankles, which made playing with the kids in the yard very uncomfortable. One of our guests got a tick on his leg from walking with his kid around the playset area. The condition of the furniture throughout the houses was not great, very worn, throw pillows with holes, and one patio chair that is ready to break if someone tries to sit back in it. The grill at Log Mahal is missing a drip tray which caused it to make a huge mess when grilling. The TV in the living room on the main floor was broken, lines going up and down the right side of the screen and we couldn't figure out how to put anything on to watch, seemed there was no cable/streaming services etc. that would work. Not a huge deal as we don't watch TV very often on our trips, but it's nice to be able to put something on for kids when they need some downtime. We did enjoy the firepit and the kids loved riding their bikes and scooters on the large paved driveway. The temperature control in the house was not ideal either. The 3rd floor of Log Mahal was very hot so the air had to be turned down to help cool it, but then the people in the basement froze. I would consider renting again, but only with the assurance that the grass would be cut before our arrival, as that was the biggest disappointment.

Hi, Sarah. Thank you so much for taking the time to let us know about your experience at Log Retreat. We are excited to hear that the space both in and outside the home was exactly what your group needed, providing a nice balance between private and public space. A firepit is a wonderful thing, and so is a nice level paved driveway for riding bikes! I am going to forward your comments about the living room tv, missing drip pan, worn throw pillows, and broken patio chair to the homeowner. Our homeowners take guest experience very seriously, and I'm sure will make the necessary repairs/updates. The overgrown lawn, and difficult temperature control between floors I will forward to maintenance. We are very sorry you had these problems with your stay, but are glad to know you would stay again with assurances that the grass had been mowed before your arrival. We hope you will come to Deep Creek lake for another vacation. It really is a wonderful area, and we would love to host you again for a vacation that exceeds your expectations. -Susan, Railey Vacations

The log retreat was fantastic. we could have not asked for better accommodations and a place to stay. I recommend this to any large group of guys going to Deep creek. after golf each day we spent the next hours around the fire pit eating and drinking. also secluded with lots of parking.

Sounds like a great time, Vince! Congrats to the newly-weds, and thanks for this awesome review! - Lainey, Railey Vacations

The Log Retreat property was wonderful! We loved having a fire pit between the two houses and plenty of room in each house and on the property to spread out. Many books and crannies within each house to find a moment of quiet solitude. On the grounds, we enjoyed tennis, the oversized dog run, the large grounds for a great game of manhunt, and the nice hike down to the boat launch. We had a great week. We did have a clogged toilet one night - the company sent a plumber within 20 minutes and fixed the problem - that's service!! Thank you. We will be back!

I'm sorry to hear that a plumber was necessary during your stay, Nuala, but am so glad we could get them to you quickly! We're happy that this inconvenience didn't prevent you from having a wonderful getaway, and we can't wait to host you again in the future!
