  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.

Description

DESCRIPTION:
Waterfront and Wonderful— that's Waterfront Hideaway! You're going to love this quiet and private home centrally located in the heart of Deep Creek Lake. Waterfront Hideaway is tucked against the water's edge in the highly-coveted Carmel Cove. This section of the lake is often sought-after for being one of the quietest and most tranquil on the lake; an area of the lake where you can splash and play, undisturbed, because it is a ‘No Wake’ zone. Deep Creek Lake State Park, which is just minutes away, shares this tranquil cove with the homes on Laurel Lane. You're not too far from winter skiing at the Wisp or their summer activities that include go-karts, a rope course, putt – putt, arcades, and a mountain coaster. At the home, you are sure to want to spend countless hours down at the beachside private clubhouse and patio (with refrigerator), lounging in the outdoor hot tub, sitting with friends and family on the covered deck, or picnicking on your private dock. You are sure to have fun at Waterfront Hideaway!

Private Lake Front with dock slip on property with small boathouse. Please note that docks are only guaranteed from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Pontoon boats not recommended.

Such a beautiful home. You can tell the owners love and care for it. The location is the best for those of us who don't love the deep water and wake of the main part of the Lake. We had a wonderful week of peace and quiet, paddling and birdwatching.

Hi Michele! On behalf of the homeowners and Railey’s staff we are ecstatic to hear that you and your family had a wonderful time with us at Waterfront Hideaway! It’s great when the location, the amenities, and the home itself all come together to provide the best rental experience possible. Thanks for the review and we look forward too having the opportunity to rent to you again in the future!

Very nice house and plenty of amenities. Only issue was that the wifi did not work on arrival and we didn't have cell phone reception to call the property manager. We did get it resolved the next day however. We loved the kitchen being fully stocked with everything we needed and plenty of activities for the kids. Great stay!

Thank you for leaving us a review Nirve! We apologize about the inconvenience concerning the internet. Happy to hear that the issue was able to be resolved in a timely manner. Otherwise we are please that you and your group had a good time!

The cove where the home is located is perfect for relaxing and swimming of the dock. We had two bear encounters which was fantastic. Right outside our bedroom window. My wife loves bears so this made the entire trip for her. All the kids (9) of them had a fantastic time. We spent more time together as a family on this lake vacation than we ever did at the beach.

Hi, Brett! Wow! Thank you so much for the amazing review of your stay at Waterfront Hideaway. Deep Creek lake is a special place, and Waterfront Hideaway is a special home. We are so pleased to hear the magic of both places worked, bear encounters and all, and your family had such a wonderful time together. We are really looking forward to hosting you again next year. -Susan, Railey Vacations

Waterfront Hideaway was perfect for my family and 2 young grandchildren. The house was very clean. When we had issues with no internet and a missing TV remote Railey sent a repairman out right away and got us all fixed up. Despite rain most of the week the house and Deep Creek Lake area had plenty to keep us busy and making memories. This was our second time visiting DCL and we will return. My only suggestion is for the house to have a 9x13 casserole pan :)

Thanks for your review, Barb! I’m so happy to hear that your family had a wonderful stay at Waterfront Hideaway. While we always hope our guests’ stays are free of issues, our team is here to lend a hand when the unexpected pops up. I’m glad we could get the internet and tv working for you!

We had so much fun on our vacation! The house was amazing, the view was beautiful, and the location was perfect. We were hidden away just enough that we had our privacy but weren't in the middle of nowhere. We were so close to all the things we wanted to do, and the house was equipped for plenty of items to have a fun day inside. We spent most of our time down at the little bar they had right on the lake. The only thing we noticed was that the house could use a good deep clean; the baseboards and door trim, one of the showers just seemed like it had been a while since it had been used, little things here and there. I bring a cleaning bucket when we go anywhere so it was no big deal, and we also figured it might just be the beginning of the season. All in all this was our favorite vacation and we will definitely be booking the same house for next year!

This property was very "homey" and relaxing. The kitchen is VERY well stocked. My 2 kids enjoyed the hot tub and sledding down the hill in the backyard. We were able to hook up the Firestick to the TV in the basement for movie nights! We are a TV family, so I loved that all the bedrooms had a TV. There was an assortment of puzzles/games in the rec room. My only concern was the heating in the basement. Despite having all three of the basement units turned on, there was a constant "chill" in the air down there, likely due a draft from one of the sliding glass doors....? Also, the Wi-fi is a little slow... Otherwise, a great , relaxing and fun atmosphere for my family! We will be sure to rent Waterfront Hideaway in the future.

Since we were unable to have a family vacation this year, we decided to go to Deep Creek for Christmas. The best decision. We had a White Christmas. Since we are living during a pandemic, I was prepared to clean the house to ensure we would be comfortable. I started cleaning the kitchen but found it was clean. We all felt comfortable and was really able to relax. The house is beautiful and had a bathroom for each bedroom. It was great. We didn't have to share bathrooms :) I highly recommend this house.

Teresa, we were happy to have been able to host your Christmas vacation! We are happy you are satisfied with the clean and were able to comfortably enjoy the holidays! Railey's will be looking forward to your return! - Seneca, Railey Vacations

Thanksgiving at the lake

Reviewed on 2020-12-03 by Sherice

My family and I had a wonderful time at the lake for Thanksgiving. The house was clean and we appreciated the welcome bag. Our electricity suddenly went out which also knocked out the water. I have to commend the team at Railey. They responded quickly to getting our electricity back on. They responded to all 5 of my calls when I was worried that the water would not get turned back on before the end of the day because the next day was Thanksgiving. When their maintenance person could not fix the water they promised they would send an expert and held true to that promise. Despite the unforseen circumstances Railey made sure we were able to continue to enjoy our stay. Thank you. We will be back.

So glad you had a great time despite the circumstances, Sherice, and thank you for the kind words about our Railey team. We look forward to seeing you back again soon! - Jenn, Railey Vacations

Appreciate the feedback, Caitie, and apologies for the trouble with your internet strength.

We would want a home where rental boats can be parked at the dock — I wouldn’t rent on lake only to find out it is only cove on lake that rental boats can get under bridge. Way too much seaweed at dock— kids can’t swim or play off dock!

Sharon, our sincerest apologies that you felt misinformed of the dock situation. We do try our best to indicate that homes located in this particular area should acquire boats of a smaller size due to the fact that you have to cross under a bridge of lower height to access the dock. This information is indicated on the listing as well as within the community information provided with both your contract and your pre-arrival email stating "pontoon boats not recommended". The trade off is that your dock is located in a quieter, no-wake zone which is great for fishing and swimming. Please feel free to reach out to our wonderful reservations team for options on another accommodation in the future and we'd be happy to find you a home with a dock suitable for a larger boat. - Jenn, Railey Vacations
