About this house rental
Decorated with a warm and cheery spirit, Happy Landing offers you a convenient location with room for family and friends to relax. A stay at this well-equipped home puts you within a stone's throw from the best of Deep Creek Lake!
When you step inside, you will immediately appreciate the ease of one-level living as well as the open layout. High ceilings and large windows let in lots of natural light that adds to the ambiance. The great room is a comfortable gathering space with ample seating for everyone. Watch TV on the wall-mounted flatscreen as you warm up by the glow of the gas fireplace.
Recently updated with granite counters, you can show off your culinary skills in the kitchen. Then you can enjoy your meal at the dining table or outside on the deck. Great conversation is sure to ensue as you recount your favorite moments from your Deep Creek Lake Adventures.
After a fun-filled day on the water or on the nearby ski slopes, a soak in the bubbling outdoor hot tub will relax you for a good night's rest in the one of the two queen-sized beds that furnish the two suites. Each of these rooms is also outfitted with a TV. Both offer deck access so that you can open up the doors to breathe in fresh mountain air or to stargaze before bedtime.
You will find two twin beds in the third bedroom that is the perfect spot for the kids. They will love having a separate space and their own TV! This room also has sliding doors that open to the deck.
Great outdoor living space gives you more room to entertain and savor the scenery. The large front deck gets plenty of summer sunshine, so you can spend lazy afternoons sipping your favorite beverage and catching some rays. The back deck offers you a shaded area to unwind with a good book or great friends. In the evening, gather around the fire pit to make gooey s'mores and chat about your day.
The endless adventures offered by Wisp Resort are within half a mile! You can walk or drive to experience skiing, golf, snow tubing, ziplines, the mountain coaster, ice skating, mountain biking, live entertainment and much more. On top of the mountain, you will find the Adventure Sports Center. Their expert guides can take you on a thrilling white water rafting excursion on their man-made course.
Restaurants, marinas, the grocery store, mini golf and coffee shops are only five minutes from your doorstep. Rent a boat to spend a day cruising the lake in the summer or fall. It is one of the best ways to scope out beautiful scenery.
When you reserve a summer week, you can take advantage of complimentary passes that give you access to all seven state parks. Be sure to hit the sandy beach at Deep Creek Lake State Park for swimming or kayaking. Swallow Falls State Park is also a "must" for your itinerary. Three stunning waterfalls are the highlights of the hiking trail that winds through the forest and along the river. This is a great spot to check out brightly colored foliage in the fall!
No matter whether you are planning a romantic escape or a family retreat, Happy Landing is the ideal starting point for truly special Deep Creek Lake vacation memories!
For your convenience, this home offers free wifi and partial air conditioning.

This was a great house for a long weekend tubing and trekking through swallow falls in the snow. Still decorated for Christmas it was warm and cozy.
Only issue was having 4 pairs of wet boots and a small entryway we were trying not to step on the carpet so another mat or rag towel would be good.
Overall excellent in location and price.

Such a cute and cozy cabin. It was decorated so nice for Christmas. Perfect location just by the slopes for snowboarding. We had so much fun and would love to come back.

We really enjoyed our stay at Happy Landing! The check in and check out process went smoothly. The property was very clean and fit 6 people comfortably. The home was decorated nicely and the place felt very cozy overall. It was also a fantastic location being close to just about everything you could want in the deep creek area! We would absolutely stay here again. Thank you for a great girls trip!

Easy to reserve. Company communication was excellent. Cleaning was poor. Dirty cobwebs everywhere. Kitchen floor dirty. Little more lighting and seating area was small in the fire ring area needed.

We had a wonderful time at Happy Landing. The house had a well stocked kitchen that made preparing our meals a breeze. It was i. The middle of all the parks we wanted to see. My family and I enjoyed the fire pit. Thank you for being our home away from home for our Maryland getaway.

I was disappointed to hear that the dishwasher wasn’t working when they called me the day before we arrived. I assumed they didn’t have time to fix it before we arrived, but the guest book indicates it already wasn’t working as long ago as 3/25. I think they could have had it fixed by then. It wasn’t just broken, though, something - maybe the disposal - also leaked water all over the kitchen floor every time we hand washed dishes. Also, one of the toilets leaked the entire time. Both of the recliners in the living room are broken, one to the point of being unusable. And the hot tub water smells like mildew. These points were also all noted in the guest book entry from 3/25 as well. The cleaning crew is not very thorough at all. I used Clorox wipes to wipe everything down — and it all had a layer of filth on it. The light switches and the kitchen counters were particularly dirty. I’m not sure why they aren’t being particularly through during Covid. If it hadn’t been for the compilation of all of these things, it would have been a nice house. I recommend that you check and see if these things have been taken care of before booking. If they have been fixed, it will be a lovely house for a getaway.

My family, including 5 kids, really loved our stay at Happy Landing! We enjoyed snowtubing, snowboarding, and a horsedrawn sleighride in nearby Oakland. It was the perfect place to have as a homebase, especially for visiting Wisp. We loved the hot tub in the evenings. The area got nearly 20 inches of snow while we were staying, and we were impressed by how quickly the roads were treated and how well they were maintained. The neighbors are also lovely. Our dog really liked the place too (such a nice touch to have dog bowls available in the kitchen!) We weren't able to figure out how to turn on the gas fireplace, but we didn't try very hard. We have nothing bad to say about this wonderful home and property and look forward to visiting again!

Nice House within Walking Distance to WISP Ski Lift
We found the house to be very clean with nice amenities (fire pit and hot tub). It was easy walking distance to a nearby lift (<10 min). The kitchen had all of the items needed. We had to get our own basics such as olive oil, vinegar, etc. There were plenty of extra towels and they were very fluffy.
I would say the the items that need improvement are putting a good doormat outside as the deck tends to get icy. Also, the house needs new pillows. I used two and they were not firm. I would bring your own if you stay here. It is a very cozy place, but wish there were recessed lights. Also, the place was advertised that it sleeps 8, but we found it could sleep 7 and one smaller child. There is a two-seat couch that could be used as a bed for a kid under 12.
We would stay here again. Thank you.

Great property
I rented via HomeAway which I DON’T recommend at all. Rent via Raleys vacation rentals instead. HomeAway has conflicting information regarding checkout time and process.
The home. My friends and I stayed there several years back before they put an addition on which added another full bath and bedroom. It’s in a great location, was very clean, kitchen stocked with all cooking utensils needed.
The twin beds aren’t comfortable but the other two beds were fine.
You are close to neighbors and with the new homes built in the other side of the road, a once fantastic lake view no longer exists.
I did see a black bear walking down by the lake when I took an early morning walk with my dog. That was a surprise. A bit scary but obviously everything worked out as I’m writing this review. ; )
When we stayed before there were no directions on how to start the fire place. This time there were directions but we still couldn’t get it lit. Saw the pilot light spark so not sure if owner pays for gas or not. However, the owner has created a really nice fire pit area so we just used that.
If you’re looking for a place out in the country away from things, this is not it. So much traffic on the road in front of house you can’t sit outside, even in the dark of night, and just listen to the sounds of nature because of all the traffic.
The home is close to shopping and dinning and wisp.
I would definitely stay here again whenever I planned to come to deep creek.
I rated communication with property manager a one (1) star because system made me rate it. I’d have chosen N/A if that was an option for I didn’t speak to any person for reserving, checking in or checking out.

Amenities of a Home with a Wispy view
Happy Landing has all the comforts of home while being situated right next to Wisp Resort and just a few miles from the local parks and Deep Creek Lake. We enjoyed each and every aspect of the property and the town. We soaked in the hot tub, had coffee on the front deck and the kids ran amok at Wisp Resort.
We saw a family of skunks and a bear crossing the road after a day hiking to Muddy Creek falls - the highest waterfall in Maryland.
Don’t miss your chance to relax at Happy Landing!

Great location, perfect for a small family
We truly enjoyed our stay at happy landing. It was the perfect place for our family of 4 and to make it even better, it's dog friendly! It was located on the same road as wisp and, even though we did not have lake access, we could see the lake from the front deck. Easy access to restaurants and attractions and a short drive to swallow falls! We would recommend to anyone looking for getaway for a small family!
