Beautiful home, great kitchen; we felt very much at home. The only problem we had is that when we went to use the facilities at the Community Aquatic & Recreation Center (CARC) we were told that the membership had expired.

The Morning Star is a very nicely maintained home with plenty of amenities. The kitchen was stocked with all the utensils and cooking equipment. Although the kitchen galley was a bit tight, if a couple people are preparing meals, it is workable. We made this home away from home for 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed the home and the Deep Creek area.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us Phillip. We are delighted to hear that you found The Morning Star to be a well-maintained home with plenty of amenities. We are glad that the kitchen was stocked with all the necessary utensils and cooking equipment, despite it being a bit tight in space. It's great to know that you were able to make our property your home away from home for 3 nights and enjoyed both the accommodations and the Deep Creek area.

Beautiful home, well-stocked. The downstairs was freezing cold and smelled musty. The regular beds were comfortable but the two sofa beds were terrible and should be replaced. The neighborhood was very nice. They provide very minimal supplies - no soaps or shampoos in the bathrooms - not even hand soap. Be sure to bring your own TP, Trash bags, Paper towels, soaps, shampoos, laundry det, dishwasher det, etc. It is clear the place is managed by a company and not by the owners.

Hi Kim! We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Your comments regarding the temperature and odor in the downstairs area, as well as the quality of the sofa beds, are valuable for us to address. We will look into these issues and make improvements where necessary. Please accept our apologies for the minimal supplies provided; however we do our best to notify you prior to arrival in our pre arrival email, the terms and agreements as well as have it listen on our website. We strive to provide a comfortable and well-equipped experience, and your suggestions will help us enhance our offerings. We hope you enjoyed the nice neighborhood and comfortable main beds and we hope to have the opportunity to rent to you again in the future! Madison, Railey Vacations

Our party had a great time but there were some inconveniences along the way. Pros - the house appeared as listed and was clean. - ample parking and felt secluded from the neighboring houses - only took a few minutes to drive to the lake and around town - the front door lock did not work half way through our trip and we were locked out, but maintenance was able to come quickly to help out. - the hot tub was nice Cons - The WiFi was not the best, we were unable to connect to WiFi in the basement TV and difficult to use the WiFi on our phones. - In the booking confirmation email, it stated we would have free access to the nearby rec center. However when some of those in my party list went to the rec center, the rec center informed us that the rental company’s membership expired so we had to pay for a day pass. - the arrival details did include what we should bring to our stay, but I do wish some of the items would have already been included in our stay. Also I recommend adding some food prep items on their list to bring: salt, pepper, aluminum. We also wanted to use the gas fireplace but ran out of propane after 30 minutes. Maintenance told us they only provide propane for the gas grill.

Thank you for taking the time to provide detailed feedback on your recent stay at our property Angeli. We are pleased to hear that overall, you had a great time and enjoyed the cleanliness of the house, ample parking, and the convenience of its location. However we do apologize for any inconveniences you experienced during your stay. We appreciate your understanding regarding the issue with the front door lock and are glad that our maintenance team was able to assist promptly. Regarding the WiFi connectivity issues in certain areas of the house, we will work on improving this for future guests with out IT department. We also apologize for any confusion regarding access to the nearby rec center and will ensure that all information provided is accurate moving forward. Your suggestions about including some food prep items and ensuring propane availability for gas fireplaces are duly noted, and we will take steps to address these concerns accordingly with the proper departments. Thank you once again for choosing to stay with us, and we hope to have another opportunity to host you in the future for an overall better rental experience. Madison, Railey Vacations

This was the perfect property for our group of three generations! Plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms and three living areas including a game area. The kitchen was well stocked. Had a little issue with slow burners on the stove, but when we called, a nice guy came by with hot plates, until the issue could be resolved by the gas technician. All in all, hope to go back next year!

Beautiful and Clean with no hot water 2 years in a row

Reviewed on 2022-06-08 by Sharlette Williams

My family and rented this house two years in a row. The first year we enjoyed our stay despite some issues like not having hot water and a couple of broken chairs on the deck. We tried to have thebgit water fixed while there with no luck. The other items we let management know about before checking out. I was hopeful that the issues would have been long fixed by pur visit this year. Not only were the chairs still broken from the previous year, but additional chairs had hoined the unusable ones. The umbrella on the deck was also still in bad shape, even worse. This year we had no hot water at all. A representative informed me someone would be out to check on the hot water heater after my call. However, four hours later no one had shown up. I called back and at first the representative did not see our request in the notes. She did however see a notice that the hot water heater wasn't working two days before we arrived. So this was an on going issue. We decided not to come back next year. The house is beautiful and clean but lots of little things will keep you from being able to fully enjoy the stay.

First, thank you for being a repeat guest. Guests are our lifeblood, and we appreciate them all, but especially repeat guests like you. We are so happy to hear that you found Morning Star to be clean and beautiful both times you have stayed there. The hot water at Morning Star is heated by a high-end “tankless” heating system. The failure of the system was repaired and tested several times extensively, including running water from all of the hot water spigots in the house at the same time for 30 minutes to provide confidence that the hot water system works well. We do hope you will come back to Deep Creek lake. If you do, we hope you'll give us a call. We would really love to host you again so we may exceed your expectations. -Owner of Morning Star, Railey Vacations

Morning Star is ideal house for a family get-together. We celebrated wife's 60th birthday there with 13 people there. The kitchen area to the 12 seat dining area is ideal. The house is plenty large enough to spread out and relax, as there large great room in basement and propane fireplace in family room, large front porch with a triple umbrella. Could be renamed Starry Night as there are only a few spot lights on by neighboring houses

Hi, Glenn. Wow! Thank you so much for your wonderful review and sharing your experience staying at Morning Star. It's wonderful to hear that the home met your expectations, and the accommodations met the needs of your group. Even with family and good friends, thirteen can be quite a crowd if there isn't enough space for everyone to comfortably spread out. We also appreciate you mentioning the lack of light pollution in that area at night. A starry night sky is definitely the perfect backdrop! We hope to host you again soon. -Susan, Railey Vacations

The hot tub never worked while at the location. Someone checked on it the following day, filled the tub with more hot water but then the hot tub still didn’t work as one of the seals continued to spout water from top. Called again on Saturday but nobody ever came. The tankless water heater is inefficient. We took a lot of cold showers. Someone came by and said it shouldn’t be doing that but never fixed anything because it continued to do the same thing. Please have cleaning personnel lift up a couch cushion and vacuum it every once in a while. Nothing worse than hiding Easter eggs and finding some unsavory things. There was glass around the fire pit, a huge piece of glass sitting on the bottom of the dishwasher, and cigarette butts all besides both decks.

Thoroughly enjoyed ringing in the New Year at Morning Star. The house is laid out very well and really allows for some separation when needed. The bedrooms are large - there were 6 of us and we really needed 5 bedrooms - it was great that people didn't really need to share bathrooms. Downstairs was great. The en-suite bedroom was huge. The basement living area was a welcome surprise with lots of space, comfortable seating and entertainment options including Pool. Ping Pong and Cornhole - and yes there was enough space to play indoors. Kitchen is extremely well stocked. Its a little tight - but just gave me excuse to kick people out of the kitchen while I cooked. Hot tub was nice. We were also happy to have maintenance even come and salt the driveway one day when there was freezing rain. Highly recommend this home!

Overall the home was clean and very nice. It was apparent the house was fairly new. The beds were generally comfortable. All appliances worked well. A few of the arrondock chairs by the fire pit were already broke when we arrived, but we had brought camping fold out chairs, so no problem. The community was quiet, and well kept, with some wildlife crossing through the property. I would definitely rent the property again.
