  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.
  2. Ski Area
    Ski Area homes and units are within a 1mi driving distance to Wisp Resort Ticket Window and/or Lift Access. Ski Area homes may require you to drive a very short distance and/or cross a road by foot. Some homes under Lake Front, Lake Access or Lake Area may also be considered a Ski Area property.

Lovely vacation home for our family. We were there in early May. The home is beautiful and the views of the lake were fabulous. The home was so clean and the kitchen well stocked. There was plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the amenities. The switchback driveway is steep but also noted in the description of the home. We would definitely rent this home again.

Hi, Barry. We are so happy to hear how much you and your family enjoyed Wilderness Lodge. Spring is a lovely time to visit DCL. Everything is blooming and greening up. It's nice you were able to experience that, and excellent views of the lake which abound in this home. We would love to host you again the next time you are planning a trip to DCL. -Susan, Railey Vacations

Great location for family of 5 + grandparents to vacation for the week. Had some appliances issues/failures ( refrigerator, ovens, dishwasher) during the rental but maintenance and guest services were very responsive to concerns. Loved the decks and access to dock for kayaking and swimming!

We’re so glad you enjoyed Wilderness Lodge, Laura! Thank you for your patience as we attended to the maintenance issues that arose during your stay. We hope you’ll be pleased to know that the homeowner has ordered a brand new oven and range. Further, our maintenance team has made repairs to the dishwasher and refrigerator, and everything is now in working order. We understand what an inconvenience appliance failures are (especially on vacation!) and appreciate your communication. Please come back and enjoy Deep Creek again soon! - Lainey, Railey Vacations

Our stay was good , house was a good size and nicely located near the main stores. Lake access was great . Driveway was tricky .

We’re so glad that you had a wonderful time, Susan! Because the driveways (and general terrain in the area) can be challenging even in the summer months, we do recommend that our guests bring 4WD/AWD vehicles whenever possible. Should you ever have any trouble navigating the area, don’t hesitate to give us a call. Our team is always happy to lend a hand.

Our group of friends had a wonderful long weekend at the Wilderness Lodge! The house is beautiful and spacious with a very well stocked kitchen. The fire pit with a view of the lake is perfect. The dock is very nice but the location is quite busy - making for lots of rough waves. The driveway and walk from the house to the dock are both very steep and treacherous. Overall a great house!

We had a wonderful week at Wilderness Lodge and would definitely rent this property again. The view of the lake through the trees from the deck and many of the rooms is gorgeous. There is easy access to the dock for swimming and boating. We also enjoyed the fire pit. Inside the house, the furniture and decor are tasteful and comfortable. This is the best stocked kitchen in terms of every imaginable kind of pot, pan and utensil that I've found in any rental home or airbnb - I was even able to bake here - and there are plenty of dishes and silverware. The lower level bedrooms and baths gave us enough room to host our grown kids and partners during the first half of our stay, and there is a nice children's room and extra fold out sofas we didn't use. But because the master bedroom is on the main floor, the house did not feel too big for a couple once they all left. Finally, a shout-out to Railey! We stayed at a Deep Creek Lake house last summer with another big rental company and left a one-star review due to multiple issues including cleanliness and communication. Every one of our interactions this summer with Railey was positive. The people who answered the phones were polite, friendly and (promptly) helpful. The house was exceptionally clean and orderly on our arrival. Having a good relationship with the management company really enhanced our stay.

Andrea, thank you so much for taking the time to write such a nice review regarding both your stay at Wilderness Lodge and your interactions with our staff. It means a lot to us that you took the time to do so. We're so happy to hear it was a great vacation and we look forward to hosting you and your group again in the future! - Jenn, Railey Vacations

We stayed during a winter storm and it was a very spacious 4 bedroom home that comfortably fit 7 adults and 3 children. It has a well equipped kitchen (no spices tho), great entertaining areas, and the hot tub/sauna could not be beat when it was 0 degrees. I bet it would be an amazing place to stay during the summer as it is right on the lake!

Home was lovely and the perfect size for our family. We had issue w the ovens and sauna. Repair team was sent out twice. Oven issue was resolved, but sauna was not able to fixed during our stay, which was disappointing as it was one of the reasons we rented this particular property. Railey staff were extremely helpful and professional when we called.

So sorry to hear about the troubles during your stay, Carol, and that the sauna ultimately couldn't be repaired during your stay. Please know we always do our best to repair items as quickly as possible so as not to impact your stay negatively, but occasionally it's not possible depending on what's needed for the repair and the timeline in which we can receive those items. We hope you'll give Wilderness Lodge another chance in the future; sounds like you had a great time otherwise! - Jenn, Railey Vacations
