Summary of reviews
Loved the view, well-stocked kitchen, room sizes, TV in each room, and great deck. The property was clean, easy to access, well set up, and had a great location!

We had to send our employees down for an install for a client in the deep creek area. This place was perfect for them. One of the guys has a boat and took the boat so on off hours they had something to do. This location was close to the public boat launch and to our customer. This place worked out perfect. It was clean and close to everything.

We enjoyed our stay. My husband did a lot of fishing right in the backyard. It's very convenient to lots of restaurants and activities.

This was handy for access to WISP. And that’s it. The heating didn’t work nor did the TV. Not enough blankets and VACASA is a call center in Delhi India. Don’t stay here.

Property needs some repairs and attention to detail. Front door lock would not work properly. Called Vacasa(property manager) and it was never repaired the entire week. Broken items in the residence when we arrived.

The location was 2 miles from the place we had our activities and we enjoyed the nice view. I imagined the house a little bit bigger from the pictures we got, but we made it work.

The property was easy to access and super clean when we arrived. Everything was set up well, and the location was great! We happened to come on a weekend where the weather wasn't especially kind - but we had such a great place to stay that we didn't mind being snowed in!

I rented this place for an anniversary getaway for myself and my boyfriend. We were offered early check in which is always nice (unfortunately we couldn't take advantage of that). Getting in was easy with the use of a door code provided ahead of time. The place itself is perfect size for the two of us, and would easily accommodate 4 people, and any small children. It was a cozy place, with personal style for decoration - I prefer that lived-in feel, because it makes it feels more home-like and less business-like. The area was quiet, but that may just be because of the time of year. Basic dishes, pots & pans, and a few key essentials (paper towels, trash bags, dish sponge, etc.) were provided. This was perfect for a simple two day stay, since we ate out most meals. There weren't any overly excessive rules /cleaning requests in the listing or in the informational binder (which seems to be showing up under other rentals more and more). The house is right on the water, so the view was really nice and this seems like a great spot for a summer visit. I would have loved to stay for another day or two just to enjoy the outdoors some more. There are a handful of restaurants and bars right up the road, and a beautiful hiking area less than 20 minutes away. Overall this place was great, and we had an amazing anniversary weekend!

AVOID VACASA AT ALL COSTS. They make it sound all sweet and then change everything after your refund cancellation date has expired, complete rip off. Thanks for the horrible mini vacation

The condo was clean and well appointed. The boat slip was convenient, but trailer parking should be provided. There is plenty of room at the top of the driveway entrances. The place was convenient to all attractions and the price was reasonable. The view couldn’t be beat!

Cozy house for a small family. Beautiful nature and friendly neighbors.
8.0 / 10.0
Pros: on the water with a dock, enough space for 1 family, easy check-in/out, includes towels & linens, generally clean inside
Cons: door code/knob stuck a few times, many spiders & cobwebs on porches, couches & throw blankets aren’t comfortable, could use a little more upkeep (fresh paint, deep cleaning, etc)

Great location for fishing and other activities and dining. House needs a little TLC.
10.0 / 10.0
Perfect location for a teacher to shed the school year and begin decompressing from the pressures of teaching! All I heard were the laps of water at the shore, and I felt like my spouse and I were the only people for miles. Of course, many boaters were on the lake, but we went at a time when the water temps were a bit too chilly for my taste. Perfect for porch sitting and overall rest and relaxation!

There are several issues with my stay. First being the awful big issues in and out of the house. I’m more concerned about them being in and spreading to the kitchen. And we kept the door closed. Secondly none of our three televisions work. We tried everything. The screen to the screen door is broke. It was like that upon arrival along with a blind. Also the upper bathroom window is broke and stuffed with a towel. This isn’t what was advertised at all. It honestly looks like no one has been here in years. Very outdated and not kept up with.
I was on hold for over ten minutes with customer service. So I emailed them. They asked me if I wanted someone to come out to look. I said yes. Waited two hours then they preceded to ask me again if I wanted someone to come out. After 6 hours I gave up. There is absolutely no communication with the property owner/manager or anyone except if it’s through email. I would not recommend the property or Vasaca booking.

I booked this townhouse for a last minute weekend escape. It was easy to access, close to restaurants, on the lake, quiet, and clean. The bed was comfortable, but the living room is dated, and needs to be replaced.

We loved the view, There is lots of natural light in the day and plenty of lamps in the evenings. Very clean with plenty of good quality sheets and towels. Plumbing and heat were just fine.

The lakefront location can't be beat, but the townhouse itself is pretty shabby and dated. Mattresses and couches are worn out and should be replaced. The premises was generally quite clean, except for the shower curtain liner, which was filthy. How much would it cost to replace it? At least take it down and wash it. For the money this place cost (more than $200/night), I expected better.
6.0 / 10.0
The location is definitely perfect. No doubt about it. the unit is also close to restaurants and other family friendly entertainment place. But the unit it self is really outdated. The carpet probably has never been changed since the unit was built. The couch and chairs are not comfortable at all and neither are the beds. Found some spider webs on some corners of the bathroom and living room.
Now about the lake. The lake is gorgeous, but when we came, which was a long weekend, there were so many speed boats with very loud noises. Since there's so many traffic on the lake, I couldn't even feel safe to do paddle board because of the speeding boats and the waves caused by them. We are a family with 2 young kids below 12 years old that were looking for a nice relaxing weekend but lesson learned that we shouldn't come here during long weekend.

We had a great time, beds could be more comfy. The neighbors had a dog that they said may bite, to stay away from it. They should leave a biting dog home.
10.0 / 10.0
This property was just what we needed. Close access to the lake, the Fairgrounds, but tucked away in a quiet peaceful setting. If neighbors were present in condo next door then it might have been a different experience. Without neighbors present we could enjoy the patio and dock access privately. Very relaxing place to be!

The property was a great location and very clean. The bed and living room furniture are aging but overall a great weekend

Great property by far the cleanest one we ever have rented. Good location and close to the lake. Perfect place for a small family or private couple getaway. Only have one complaint about the place. It may seem trivial but the living room couches were very uncomfortable to sit on. It was so bad that in the day it rained all day I sat on the floor because the couch hurt my back. If not for that would have been 5 stars across the board except for the communications part of it. Would stay again.

We had an excellent stay in deep creek! The house was perfect for us and the dock made life on the lake so easy! The house was clean and everything was accurate to the listing.

Lovely and Relaxing
The home was spotless clean and well equipped! Vacasa provided tons of fresh towels, as well as sheets and pillows. The location by the lake is ideal, amazing lake views, and the dock offered good fishing too! My husband caught a walleye, and a smallmouth bass right off the dock, and my mom and I caught several yellow perch. Only two recommendations to make this place even more comfortable, please consider blackout curtains for the bedrooms as they get too bright very early in the morning. The second thing is, please consider a kettle for tea drinkers :) We had a lovely trip, and highly recommend Driftwood #6 and Vacasa!

Great vacation
This was the perfect place for a pair of sisters to spend some time together. The view was amazing, and the house was jut the right size. The place was clean and there were plenty of towels.
We would recommend an upgrade on the couches and the addition of a baking sheet in the kitchen. Other than that everything was perfect.

Wonderful cozy water front property. Very clean and neat. Perfect for a family of four for a ski weekend. Just minutes from Wisp, bars, and restaurants. Definitely will look to book this property in the future.
10.0 / 10.0
Perfect for us!
Tons of towels and towel racks in the bathroom, tvs in both bedrooms and the living room and a GREAT location made this the perfect place for a weekend ski getaway! A warmer comforter or extra blankets would be the only recommendations for improvements.
