High-Skis' Villa | Chalet on Top of Wisp Mountain

This rental house has potential to be a nice property, but it has a ways to go. The front patio entryway is very unappealing. There are gobs of spiderwebs with bugs all over and bird h1! on the wooden railings and bench. When we arrive, the house was set to 62. We had to leave to let it warm up so we set the temp to 72. When we came home the top floor was 80 and the bottom floor was at 70. The HVAC technician was no help. So the top floor is burning up and the bottom floor is so cold. It was so hot in the bedroom upstairs that nobody could sleep in it. We use the three bedrooms on the bottom floor. The bedding in the bottom floor master was horrible. The fitted sheet was so old that it was rough and pilling. It felt like sleeping on sandpaper. Some of the blinds and windows in living room are broken and can’t be used. The directions given for the TVs don’t work. Also, there’s no regular TV, only apps like Netflix, Amazon prime, etc. We wanted to watch a bit of football, but couldn’t because there’s no cable. Rental properties need to have basic cable and not force people to have an accounts to watch something.

We had the best stay, it was so quiet and peaceful. We got to see some baby dears right in the backyard, it was so cool! The check-in and out process was great. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the pots, pans, mixing bowls, and cutlery we could need. The owners had a whole book with all the local spots and eateries, which was super helpful. The hot-tub was one of the cleanest I have ever been in. Overall we had the most relaxing stay and didn’t have to worry about anything. Thank you for providing a quiet space to really unwind and recharge.

We enjoyed our time in the house. It was very cleaned and well maintained.

We loved staying here! Fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and lots of space to enjoy.

We were overall pleased with our stay. The main reason we picked the property because of its location of less than a mile from the Adventures Sports Center International which ended up being closed. It was also not as expensive as lake front properties. We were less than a 5-10 minute drive to the marina area where all the activities take place and a three minute drive from WISP resort. The property can technically sleep 10 but when we arrived the 10th bed was a blow up mattress without a pump (we had a total of 8 so it did not matter to us). If you have an array of sleeping teenagers , tweens and seniors and parents in their 40's like us you should be aware there are two bedrooms which can sleep two couples. One bedroom which can sleep in the same bed two children or one adult and one bedroom that can sleep another two children and one adult. One of he bedrooms that can sleep two children and one adult is set up as bunk beds. The jacuzzi was not working, but we got a refund of $50 for each day we stayed which was nice but the other part of the reason we picked the house was to enjoy the jacuzzi knowing night life with a family after long days in the sun needs a place to have more quiet fun until the day ends.

We have been going to Deep Creek with our children for over 20 years. We've stayed at 8 different homes and many several times for a few of them. We've had great experiences at all of them until this house. This was a new one for us. The pictures were accurate and it looked beautiful. What you can't know is the bugs in the house. Our son was covered with bug bites in the bunk beds after the first night. Not sure if bed bugs or not. The shingles were falling and hanging off the one roof. The air condition never worked properly and was 90 degrees outside and so was inside the house. The directions never helped us to get any relief from the heat. Very difficult for my 75 year old parents. The screens were never installed in the sun room and we couldn't even enjoy that space. The plexiglass was still in and it was scorching in that space and so many bugs. The hot tub took forever (4 hours) to warm up, lights worked inside it and then didn't. Very limited supplies for guests. Definitely bring extra towels and other necessary amenities. The ones provided very thin and cheap. The living room couch back pillows were falling off and very uncomfortable to sit on. Felt like we were robbed and walked away from this vacation with such disappointment and were embarrassed by our choice of house. Listed as premier chalet, it is not. I hope the notes we left will be taken seriously by Taylor-Made. First time working with them. Never again. We hope future guests will never experience what we did.

We loved this place so much, we are already planning to return in the summer. Note: The only negative is you need to supply a vacuum or broom. Everything else was so clean and so well appointed!

The kitchen is well equipped. My compliments go to Taylor-Made for providing exceptional customer service! This home is secluded and private which was one of the reasons we stayed is the only home on the street. The backyard was enjoyable for outdoor games and campfires. We enjoyed the wildlife we encountered during our stay. This home is welcoming and cozy!
