This house was gorgeous and perfect for our large group of adults and kids (teenagers and babies). Everything was really clean, convenient and comfortable. There was so much space and plenty of amenities on each level of the house. The host was fantastic - super responsive and did everything to ensure we had a great stay. Loved this home and can't wait to stay again sometime soon!

The host was amazing...very attentive if we needed her for something before our stay and during. The house was very nice and we all loved having our own full bathrooms! The kitchen could have been stocked more and with updated pots, pans, serving trays and mixing bowls. The pool was huge and when we needed it warmer, they made it warmer and it was amazing. Only issue was the lighting in the evening. There needs to be better lighting in the hall leading to the pool, in the pool area and a light in the pool itself. It was hard to keep track of the littles when they were in the water. And the hot tub could've been a little bigger. For the amount of people this house sleeps, the hot tub was on the small side. But overall it was a very nice stay!

Exceeding Expectations is right!

We planned for a group of 12 adults to spend a long weekend at this rental. We booked it because it had an indoor pool (how cool?!), a hot tub, plenty of communal, and each bedroom had at least a queen sized mattress and its own bathroom! It’s often difficult to find such amenities when traveling with just couples and Exceeding Expectations hit a home run! The kitchen was stocked with all of the basic cookware you could need. There were two large refrigerators as well as two ovens, which worked wonderfully for a large group. The bedrooms were all very spacious and the common areas were as well. There is more than enough room to spread out or find a quiet place for some alone time. It would easily accommodate a few more people as well! The host, Laurie was incredibly attentive, kind, and very responsive when we had a few minor hiccups during our stay. She was the icinig on the cake of the entire experience! We will 100% be back to this rental in the future for family or friend trips!

We get together every year for a week. Family members from around the country. This place was perfect we could all have meals at the table together. The kitchen was big enough for 3-4 of to put the meals together. The kids had room to play through out the house. The Poll be covered and inside ment if we had a rainy day it became a pool day. Thank you for the memories!!!

Amazing

I was very pleased with this home. Any questions I had before or during our stay were answered promptly. The house was clean and stocked with the items that they had promised. There was a bathroom for every bedroom so our families didnt have to share. The indoor pool worked out great due to the rain we had during our stay. It was a beautiful neighbor hood with lots of wildlife to observe. Although the neighbors may appear to be close, all of the trees and foliage made it feel very private. Plenty to do for all age ranges. Lots of amazing restaurants. I would love to plan a trip again for next year!

All Around WONDERFUL!

Our family does an annual vacation including grandparents, kids, cousins and friends. Finding that “just right” location for a large group isn’t always easy. Well…we found it here! From the at-home feel of the great room to the cozy comfort of the bedrooms this home (more than just a house) gave us a place to relax, refresh and create summer memories. Some things we just loved: the indoor pool, the supersized dining room table, the natural light through the windows, and I can’t forget the lighted steps! Laurie was an amazing host! She was so attentive, helpful and caring. We had one issue and she was understanding and caring and attentive. Deep Creek 2023 Family Vacation was a huge success!

Another Great Stay

This is our second time staying at Exceeding Expectations. The house is excellent for large groups. The kids enjoyed the lower floors with lots of games and activities. The pool and hot tub were wonderful for fun after skiing. The kitchen and living areas are large and can fit lots of people comfortably. And the owner went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed.

We had a wonderful time for the 19 of us. There were plenty of things for the children to do in the home.; they loved the pool. We all appreciated the bon fire outside while the weather permitted; plenty of wood. Day trips to the nearby State Park provided hiking and just enjoying the beautiful outdoors.

Better than pictured!

This was a great way to spend a week. Some in our group ventured out but half of us never left! Private, comfortable pool, tons of space on the decks… we usually watch a bunch of TV but we never turned one on here. Laurie did great with our requests, quite a mind for customer service. Though I never liked interacting with the Riley, I will say that when a smoke detector 25’ up a ceiling started chirping at midnight one night, there was someone there pretty quick with a big ladder to solve the problem. I would be happy to return, but may try check out Laurie’s other property instead!

The house was very accommodating for our famiily of 16 (10 adults and 6 children)

The area is beautiful with lots to do. and we were fortunate to have lovely weather. Our only complaint would be the pool. Since it was totally enclosed by glass with a loud dehumidifier running constantly, we found it to be very hot and noisy inside. In the winter, I'm sure it's better, but not in the summer. Being enclosed it also had a strong smell of chlorine. We prefer an outdoor pool. That said, everything else was very accommodating for our family and well supplied.

I rented this house for my sister’s bachelorette weekend. We had 20 girls and there was more than enough room! We never felt cramped or on top of each other. The beds were super comfy and linens and towels were provided which was very nice. We were all amazed by how big and and gorgeous the house was. The hot tub was a big hit along with the HEATED INDOOR POOL!!! Laurie was amazing to work with. Throughout the whole booking process she was very responsive in answering all my questions. Even during our stay, she texted and emailed to see how everything was going and if we needed anything. I would definitely recommend Exceeding Expectations to everyone!

The name of the house describes it all!

I stayed at exceeding expectations for a long weekend in September 2019. The owner of the home, Laurie was helpful from start to finish! She was quick and efficient with every step of the process, and I couldn’t ask for better service from the host! The house alone, was AMAZING. Slept my entire party of 20 people very comfortably, and with the size of the house, no one was ever too crammed! Four levels of amazing house, the heated indoor pool, fire pit and jacuzzi were just some of the highlights. Less than a minute drive to the lake and dock, and even in daylight you could see the lake through the trees in the backyard! I would absolutely recommend this house to anyone wanting to stay in deep creek with a large party, it was well worth it! Thank you again laurie!
