Family Thanksgiving

Came for a short family get together for Thanksgiving weekend. Family is spread out between several states and Deep Creek was a good location for all to travel too. We all had a fantastic time staying at Cool Change. The home had lots to do to keep kids busy and very comfortable for all.

Location could be better

The house was comfortable and well kept up, but the driveway is on a curve with very limited visibility. No one, and I mean NO ONE pays attention to the 25 mph speed limit.

Family Time

We booked this property for our family summer vacation. We loved it! Cool Change had all the things to entertain our crew and fit us comfortably. Good size kitchen for cooking our meals and that beautiful dining room table fit us perfectly. Great location to everything; particularly Wisp if you are looking to go to the area for that reason. The dock is placed across the street, it has wonderful Adirondack chairs already down there for you to sit and enjoy the lake view. The outdoor fire pits were another favorite for ending the night with s’mores. Overall we greatly enjoyed our stay at Cool Change and can’t wait to return, maybe to check out another beautiful season in Deep Creek.

Cool Change

Clean property, easy access to dock. Only a couple minor issues and one large issue. Propane tank ran out in first 30 minutes of using it on the first night but luckily I made it work the rest of the weekend. Second minor issue was the hot tub was not turned on/heated up and it took a long time to get to a proper hot tub tent. Third issue, which was major, we were all hanging out on the front balcony when one of the neighbors showed up, walked through the bottom floor to get to the top floor, and thought it was okay to just start hanging out with us because he knew the owner of the home and was part of the HoA. We proceeded to kick him out and we caught him trying to get back into the house two additional times. We had to threaten police presence for him to leave. Luckily it was a house full of guys and nothing was stolen, but if it was a group of females, I would feel very uncomfortable and unsafe for them. After that incident we felt unsettled about our belongings in and around the house and had to monitor the property the remaining nights we were there.
