The house is nice and comfortable but our biggest issue was that every single dish, utensil, or pot we pulled out to use had to first be cleaned because they were dirty. The house in general was clean except for higher areas which need attention, and the master bedroom lacked blinds or curtains on the slider making the room completely visible to neighbors in their backyard. The proximity to Wisp is great and the neighborhood is lovely.
Everything was exactly as described. The home was beautifully kept and furnished. We loved every second of our time there and will definitely return. Woke up to snow this morning! Icing on the cake!
Hello! We enjoyed our 3 night stay in this house very much! Let me discuss some pros and cons. Cons - The oven incessantly beeped as it showed an error and was unusable during our stay. We had to turn off power to stop the beeping, and we had to change meal planning. The TVs are advertised as smart tvs, but are not. (Bring a Roku or something with you.) Wifi dropped A LOT and was unusable the last full day. ( In fact, we could not check out online because of the poor connection.) No property map to show where to find community trash and pool. Pros - Cute house and decor! Nice and sturdy furniture. There was a hot tub, fire pit, and plenty of outdoor seating. It had a very private feel. The beds in two of the bedrooms were very comfortable with lots of extra blankets and pillows. The place was clean and well stocked. The management of the property was very responsive. (Maintenance came quickly for the oven issue; however, were unable to fix it.) Location of the property was very close to the heart of Deep Creek. All in all we had a nice time! Hope this review helps!
We loved this home it was very clean and spacious. Looks just like the pictures.
Really love the place. Only thing I would suggest they do is to add a curtain in the master bedroom where the sliding doors are. Neighbors left their fire light and spotlight on all night and it was very bright. The glass door in the master shower also needs adjusted. It is not properly aligned. If someone slams it too hard, it will chip or break. Only other suggestion would be to have the cleaning staff blow both decks with a leaf blower. There were a few cobwebs in some areas.
The house was very nice! It was clean and nicely set up! We had a great time for my sisters bachelorette weekend!
Our family of six (four adults, one four year old and a 13 month old) really enjoyed our weekend in the Deep Creek woods at the Tau House. Situated in a gated community, the log home is spacious, airy and architecturally impressive. The furnishings are comfortable and nicely blend modern with rustic. The artwork is very tasteful. The several games and kids Lego set was a bonus. The kitchen is perfect for meal preparation and socializing around food and drink. Usually stocked condiments (salt, pepper, ketchup, mustard, etc. weren't provided. The three bedrooms were quite accommodating, but the two bathrooms are on the main floor presented a minor logistical challenge. Another downside, the beds were very soft and hard on those of us with bad backs--all the adults. The fireplace draw was inadequate to keep minor smoke out of the living area. (Yes I did have the flu open properly.) But it didn't seem to bother anyone but me. The front porch got plenty of light throughout the day for reading and relaxing and taking in the woodsy view. There is no lake view, but I don't recall that being advertised. The pool area was close and expectedly closed for the season but the playground and short trails were great for the kids. I anticipated bringing my own dry wood to burn in the fire pit which was right on point. All in all, the stay was close to excellent, but I think the price point is a little off mark by about $45- $50 per night. The Taylor Real Estate management fee, and taxes increased the advertised cost and we spent an additional amount for cancellation insurance, which is a gamble but wise for those who anticipate last minute complications. The management firm did allow us entry an hour early and did respond promptly with ample wood for the inside fireplace--so no complaint there.
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of four stayed at Tao House and were very happy with the location, setting, amenities and space. Throughout the week we made meals in the kitchen and on the grill, we used the hot tub, and we watched wildlife traverse the back yard. We saw a flock of wild turkeys, several deer, and even a bear with her two cubs! The home came well-equipped for vacation use and was a comfortable and beautiful launching point for all our adventures. I read in other reviews about the upstairs bedrooms' occupants having to use a bathroom on the main floor, so it was not a surprise or a major issue. We loved the porches, the great room, and the view of the back yard most of all. I would recommend this to any family of four or five looking for a comfortable week away.
