Some nice and not so nice things. Some stuff really worn where others were nice. Sleeps 10 yet ran put of hot water after one shower...maintenance did visit but told us we might have to stagger showers (4 women!). Gas fireplaces did not work, maintenance checked those too and couldnt get it to work. Hot tub good and fire pit good. Wash whatever you want to use in the kitchen first...some pans were filthy.
Overall we were happy with our stay. The interior was clean and we had enough space for everyone. Kitchen was well equipped. The views were nice and we were close to activities. That being said, the condition of the property definitely has issues. Given the expense, we expected more, and surrounding houses looked to be in much better condition. Exterior- rotting trim pulling away from house, front walkway in disrepair, with visible landscape peg protruding through rotted wood - concerning having small children playing in the yard, nonfunctional gas grill- we had to get a propane tank, then when we tried to cook, it took over an hour just to get to 325 degrees.We had to give up and cook indoors,meaning we just wasted money on a propane tank. Unusable charcoal grill, basically falling apart with rusted grates. Decks had a lot of peeling paint. Inside- very low water pressure for showers, grill under gas fireplace kept falling out, and the property book said the fireplaces were not usable?? broken interior refrigerator drawer just stuck back on, so when we tried to pull out the drawer the whole front just fell off, had to just stick the food through the front of the drawer, found unwashed dishes in the cabinets- some with food stuck on them, slider to back deck was difficult to open and get closed all the way, but most disturbing, the door wouldn't really lock, simple tug in the locked position would open it right up. We had fun, but not sure this would be our pick next time
We really enjoyed the house and the area. The weather didnât cooperate, but we still enjoyed our family time together. The house was perfect for our group! Would come again!
The property is beautiful and in a great location overlooking the lake from the back.
When we arrived the door code didnât work so we had to call the management company, but they got that sorted out on just a few minutes for us so that ended up being fine. The space was great for 3 couples and the fire pit was wonderful in the evenings. I would suggest the grill and fire pit get cleaned a little better as there were some smoke problems, but otherwise give this place a 5/5!
Family Reunion stay for one family. Other 4 families stayed in nearby rentals!
Absolutely loved this house!!! We didnât need for anything!!! Very spacious and clean!!! The fire pit was super nice! The entire neighborhood was so nice and peaceful! We canât wait yo come back!!!
For a weekend getaway, the house was perfect. Great location and well appointed
for 3 couples. Beds were comfy. TVâs were a bit complicated but we figured it out. Due to the weather, we didnât use the hot tub or outside seating.

We had a wonderful week at Green Gables. The house was quite lovely and the close proximity to the Deep Creek State Park, Wisp Resort activities, and the neighboring parks made it a great location from which to operate and then regroup with family.
I came with a group of 6. The house was gorgeous very clean with a beautiful view of the mountains from the back balcony. There were a few cosmetic problems such as a leak in the bathroom ceiling when rained and a few of the TVs did not turn on. These things are small in comparison to our overall stay which was fantastic!
Home had pretty views, was very clean and nice working kitchen. The only negative was the AC wasnât balanced. The lower level was freezing but lowering the AC made the upstairs hot. There are two bedrooms on the lower level so this made them not too useable unless the kids were bundled up. Otherwise would stay again.
Overall the house was great & just as advertised. The not so good thingsâŠwhen we arrived we werenât able to get the door opened & waited about an hour and a half for maintenance to arrive just to tell us the door required a heavy push (you really had to slam your body into it). Not a big deal but it would have been easier if the person on the phone told us that or there was a note on the door. The dishwasher had nasty sitting water in it & leaked. The blender was broken so when liquid came pouring out of the bottom. One of the chairs on the deck was broken & the cushions that were inside didnât seem to quite match. The table for the deck appeared to be in the garage. There was a combination lock on the garbage that had just been installed so we asked a neighbor for the code (it was not in the book). The hot tub said it had been cleaned the day we arrived but the water level was low & by the time we left two days later was a nasty color & had an odor. There were also about 7 remotes - slightly confusing. When more than 2 people showered there was no hot water. The goodâŠthe space in the house was great (the main floor could use some furniture adjustments to better use the space). The downstairs area was great for our kids. All of the beds were very comfortable & all of the kitchen items we needed were available. The bathrooms were also great & several appear to have been remodeled. Good location. Almost 5 stars!
We had a great time during our stay. The house was absolutely gorgeous, spacious and clean. So many areas to relax along with the hot tub. I highly recommend! We will definitely be staying again!
House was readily located. Only issues were an access code that needed updating before entering the bldg, a garage door that required resetting a couple of times over the weekend and bunk beds that required some reinforcement (taken care of by property technicians). The TV remotes were spotty at times and no live broadcast channels were available during our 6 day stay. All other amenities worked well. As described in your package, do remember to bring extra paper goods, dishwashing detergent, etc.
