We rented this home for three nights with a group of 8 guests. It was very clean and the house size was perfect for our group. Cozy enough to keep everyone together in the common area but also enough privacy in each of their rooms. We had some issues with the WiFi connection at first because the password in the binder versus the fridge magnet differed. But the management company helped with that right away. Check-in was super easy with the keyless entry and the check-out process is simple and straightforward.

I only have two minor cons. The rental unit says "ski-in/ski-out" home but it's actually not. It wasn't a deal breaker since it was still walking distance to the lifts and ticket window BUT it's still a difference when comparing to an actual ski-in/ski-out. Our other minor con are the beds were a bit uncomfortable. You can feel the springs in the bed whenever you move. But nonetheless, a bed is better than a floor.

Overall, I recommend this place and I would consider staying here again.

Everything was perfect. We ran out of pellets for the stove and they were able to accommodate us within a few hours on a very busy holiday weekend. I'd like to mention to future guests that while Taylor Made website indicated that this house has a wood burning fireplace, it does not so don't bring any fire supplies. This was obvious from the pictures so we figured they only had the pellet stove which was very comfortable.

My family stayed at Utopia for the third year in a row. The house is a short walk to Wisp, which significantly reduces the teenager conflict in our family. The house is comfortable, clean and well-equipped.

- Trisha W. from Silver Spring, Posted: 02/11/2017

This was a return trip to Utopia for our family. You can't beat the location and the house is very comfortable for a small family and our dog. Although it was rainy and snow activities were curtailed, we discovered a nice walking trail near the house and also took the opportunity to drive around the area. A great weekend escape for all of us!

- Carol J. from Timonium, Posted: 01/19/2017

Great house in an excellent location. Spacious. All three bedrooms are upstairs. Always have liked Taylor-Made keyless entry. The master bedroom was a little drafty. The sliding glass door needs some calking around the left seam. That was the only negative.

- Rickey R. from UPPER MARLBORO, Posted: 01/10/2017

We had a great weekend at this home at Deep Creek. The deck needs repair and the house could use a good cleaning. The location near the WISP is great. Even though Taylor-Made locked us out before checkout time, everything else was great. Would rent it again.

- Anonymous from Reisterstown, Posted: 09/07/2016

The property is not ski in ski out unless you plan on skiing across the parking lot. Also, the photo from the deck is very deceiving, since you can't see how close it is to the resort parking lot. The parking for 3 cars means pulling into the drive way and blocking each other in and it is very difficult to back out onto the busy road. The furniture, bedding and carpeting were covered in pet hair. This was taken care of to our satisfaction but it should have been done properly in the first place.

- Anonymous from Fairfax, Posted: 02/25/2016

For a ski trip, this is the best possible location. It's convenient for walking to the lifts and easy in/out for going to restaurants in the evenings.

- Trisha W. from Silver Spring, Posted: 02/10/2016

We returned to Utopia for long weekend in Jan for the third consecutive year. Awesome location and very comfortable home Dog friendly and very well equipped

- Carol J. from Timonium, Posted: 02/03/2016

I was very pleased with the house, it was equipped nicely in the kitchen, and had plenty of games to choose was a great experience, getting out of the driveway was a little difficult at times but all in all a great house.

- Kim D. from Halethorpe, Posted: 11/30/2015

We've stayed at several places in Deep Creek, but Utopia is the only one we keep coming back to. It's comfortable, clean and modern, with great views and a great location. Taylor Made is the best management company as well, always friendly, responsive and willing to go the extra mile.

- Paul W. from Arlington, Posted: 11/03/2015

Nice home located in front of Wisp Resort.

- Anonymous from Butler, Posted: 07/31/2015

We had a wonderful stay at Utopia. The house is perfectly located for the ski in/ out lifestyle. The home is equipped with everything needed to make you feel like you are at home! You could waste the day away simply watching the skiers from the large picture window!

- Kerriann F. from Monrovia, Posted: 01/28/2015

Our second time at Utopia and we would come back a third time. Great location very comfortable and perfect weekend getaway spot for the family

- Carol J. from Timonium, Posted: 01/22/2015

Great location!!! Short walk to lifts, ski school, tubing, etc. Fantastic view, so much fun to watch skiers and grooming machines run the mountain. The house was well furnished. Beds were made with linens, dish towels provided, and a starter set of necessary soaps, etc. Great house. The pellet stove didn't work, but that was the only issue at all. Perfect house for a family

- Heather K. from Elkton, Posted: 01/06/2015

Great property with many amenities and a very responsive property management company

- Julia M. from Rockville, Posted: 08/27/2014

We were at Deep Creek for a family reunion. This was a great experience for us because it was close to the other houses our family rented and close to lanes for dog walking. The management team was always friendly and responsive. Once we find out the date of the 2015 reunion we will try to rent this house again.

- Jim D. from Dundalk, Posted: 07/10/2014

great home, great price, and very convenient if you have young kids. We will defiantly rent again.

- Guillermo G. from Lutherville, Posted: 03/12/2014

Stayed at Utopia for second year in a row. Avid Skiers here; convenience to resort is great. Can't exactly ski out, but after a very short walk across the parking lot, you're at the slopes. Clean, bright, and comfortable. Hot tub is great. Couldn't start pellet stove because there was no pellet starter, but we could have easily gone in search of some if we really wanted it.

- Matthew M. from Baltimore, Posted: 02/25/2014

We had a great time at this house. We spent every day at Wisp, right in the back yard, and the fact that we didn't have to deal with the resort's traffic, since we could easily walk, was huge. We will definitely be staying at this house again!

- Erin W. from Lorton, Posted: 02/24/2014

great place to stay.

- Cheryl W. from Fairfax, Posted: 02/19/2014

Utopia was a great house and I would definitely recommend and rent again. Very clean, very well furnished and you just can't beat the location. Took 3 teenagers and they had a super weekend of snowboarding and fun. We enjoyed watching the skiers and snowboarders on The Face - a great view!

- Carol J. from Timonium, Posted: 02/13/2014

Great house and location, cant wait to rent it again

- DAVID M. from ANNAPOLIS, Posted: 01/05/2014

We had a great time at Utopia! We would absolutely stay there again. The check-in and check out were a breeze and the house itself was great. The only issues we had (and they were minor) were the living room furniture was rather uncomfortable and the hot water did not last long. Other than that the house was outstanding and we can't wait to return!

- Christopher T. from Frederick, Posted: 08/29/2013

I think there should be a curtain or shade at the door in living room because the sun has you up bright and early can't sleep in there, and also the sofa bed in the living room needs to be replaced wore out. not a good night sleep there but over all I loved the house and the location and it was a great weekend will rent again.

- Ruth R. from Essex, Posted: 06/19/2013

Geat location and house

- Anonymous from Frederick, Posted: 04/02/2013

Went to ski and relax, and that's exactly what we were able to do. Walked right out the back door and to the lodge to get lift tickets. Hot tub great, plenty of room. very satisfied.

- Matthew M. from Baltimore, Posted: 03/05/2013

For MLK weekend, we stayed in a home across from the WISP resort entrance that was managed by Railey Rentals. Although they were very hospitable, you had to get a key from the office and physically check in and out.

However, with Taylor-Made, there was a keyless entry! No need to make to keep track of a key. The house had lots of extra blankets and everything we needed for a great stay. It was awesome!

This house is not very private. You can walk to the ski resort, however the backyard has no blinds so you are completely exposed to the parking lot. Also, you can't sleep in if you stay in the master suite. The skylight lets you know it's time to get up!

- Mariam M. from Silver Spring, Posted: 02/21/2013

This home is a great find for the ski enthusiast. You can literally walk out the back door and the parking lot of Wisp is steps away. No need to ever drive when you can walk right over to the wisps. House is spacious, clean, and well equipped.

- Jason G. from Rockville, Posted: 01/15/2013

The property is nice, the location is great and the staff was very helpful. My only complaint is that the DVD players in both the main room and the rec room did not work, which was a challenge when my kids wanted to watch a DVD.

- Anonymous from Silver Spring, Posted: 01/10/2013

Rented the property for a snowboarding trip, I could not have been happier.

- J.R. W. from Abingdon, Posted: 01/10/2013

Perfect week at the perfect location. The convenience of walking to the slopes is unbeatable.

- Joseph B. from Annapolis, Posted: 01/04/2013

Loved it! Great view of Wisp. Very relaxing atomosphere in a great location!

- Anonymous from Clarksburg, Posted: 11/26/2012

What a great stay for our family! We were right at the base of Wisp and could walk to the mountain side activities at Wisp as well as lunch/dinner at DC's could drive in minutes to everything else! Utopia was perfect for our family and so clean and bright!

- Keesey C. from Middletown, Posted: 09/10/2012

Overall, our stay at Utopia was very nice. The home is very conveniently located just a short drive from shopping and other activities. I would probably recommend this location more in the ski season, as it is right at the base of the mountain. The rooms were comfortable, and there were games and movies to use during down time. The hot tub was very soothing after a day of hiking Cooper Rock State Forest in WV. My only complaint is that the Wisp resort parking lot has a light in their parking lot that shines right at the Master Bedroom window, and it turns off and on every 3 minutes ALL NIGHT! I did let someone know there, but not sure if they will do anything about it. We put a blanket over the window to help. Definitely check out Swallow Falls/Muddy Falls, Deep Creek State Park beach area (kayak & canoe rentals), Falling Water in PA, Ohio Pyle State Park natural waterslides!, Cooper Rock State Forest WV, Smiley's Go Karts.Santa Fe has great food and is walking distance from Utopia! This was our 2nd vacation to Deep Creek, and we will be back again! Beautiful area.

- Anonymous from West Grove, Posted: 08/21/2012

This was a great spacious home for our whole family, including the pet dog! Our kids loved the ability to walk to the Wisp Resort activities but it was also only a short drive to the State Park lake access where we towed our boat in and out each day (since we had the week long access pass). We would love coming back again! Everything was very neat and had all that we needed in our home away from home.

- Melissa S. from Any city, Posted: 08/15/2012

Overall I was satisfied. However there were a few things that I did not like; The shower was very weak and I got scalded twice, when the cold water stopped running. the basement was unfinished. The drier did not seem to work very well. It was surface clean, but there were a lot of webs around. Having said all that, I would still recommend it to friends, (with a warning about the shower). Although I would not stay there again.

- Anonymous from Clairton, Posted: 07/22/2012

We stayed fathers day weekend and had a good time. The only complaints were the hornet nest under the hot tub the made it uncomtable to get it. And also their weren't any radios with working CD player on them. Otherwise it was everything as were looking for

- Clyde G. from Baltimore, Posted: 07/04/2012

My family and friends had a very relaxing 7 days stay. The location was perfect, we were in the heart of all activities. This was our first time there and we started planning our next year's vacation already. I would recommend Taylor-Made Deep Creek to all of my friends. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

- Purtrina W. from Baltimore, Posted: 07/01/2012

Enjoyed the close location to the resort.

- Anonymous from Warrenton, Posted: 03/21/2012

The place was great and in a good location to the slopes. We were able to walk to the main complex in minutes! We had a REALLY good experience.
FYI:I would bring a dock or special av cables your portable music devices. The stereo is really old.

Great place to stay. Just needed more snow that weekend.

- Cheryl W. from Fairfax, Posted: 02/16/2012

We loved the location of the house. Easy walk to lifts and short drive to everything else. Great view of Wisp! Only small things wrong like towel rake falling off in master bathroom and shower door hard to open. Also hot tub cover hard to put back on. But that was all. Check in and check out very easy and staff very professional and friendly.

- Anonymous from Vincent, Posted: 02/08/2012

From the moment of arrival to the sad time of departure, our first winter family vacation was truly a memorable experience. The facilities, the location and even the weather were perfect. It may have been our first, but definitely will not be our last Utopia experience!

- David P. from Fort Ashby, Posted: 01/19/2012

This was our second stay in this rental. It was booked last year so we had to pick a different one. This house has an awesome location. Walk across the parking lot to the lodge, tubing or ice skating.

- Anonymous from Pasadena, Posted: 01/10/2012

Our third visit to Utopia. We love it.

- Joseph B. from Annapolis, Posted: 01/08/2012

Excellent location to allow easy access to the slopes. Made it easy for the various groups in our house to drift on and off the slopes as needed without requiring everyone to leave. House was very nice. Only disappointment was lack of extended cable in basement which meant adults were subjected to kids shows on the main floor after the slopes closed at 5. Would have been nice to banish the kids to the basement. Otherwise very enjoyable vacation and somewhere we are planning to return to.

- Anonymous from Leonardtown, Posted: 01/05/2012

No ones fault but Mother Nature, the weather didn't cooperate that week.
I would like to see a better dining table that would be able to sit at least 8 people. Other then that , we would stay their again.
Thanks.

- Helen C. from Baltimore, Posted: 01/01/2012

We've statyed there 2 years in a row for Christmas real nice place real close to the slopes. The only problem both years was the the pellet stove poured out smoke. I had to pour water on it both years because the house was filling with smoke right after it was lit.

- Daniel J. from Smithsburg, Posted: 12/28/2011

The location of this place was excellent! It was clean and felt comfortable to stay for the weekend. We also loved that they accept pets there so that was very helpful as well. Overall, we loved the house, location, service, and Deep Creek! We hope to be back in the future.

- Allyson G. from Wexford, Posted: 05/17/2011

Perfect location! House is great for a single family w/ pet. Clean and comfortable. Walk to slopes yet close to other activities. Our second stay in Utopia and we plan to stay again next winter. Property Manager and Owners really make it easy and comfortable to stay in Utopia.

- Joseph B. from Annapolis, Posted: 03/15/2011

Staff had not hooked up the sump pump at all, causing the entire basement to leak and personal property to be damaged. I felt the compensation for our destroyed items was inadaquate and was very disapointed.

- Anonymous from Annapolis, Posted: 02/23/2011

An amazing find for skiers. Literally across the parking lot from the slopes. House was nicely furnished, ideal for a weekend getaway for a group. The rental agency was very helpful and responsive as well.

- Jason G. from Rockville, Posted: 02/01/2011

We really liked the property and enjoyed our stay however this is on a property to sleep 10. The property is inaccurately listed as King, Queen, Queen, 2 Queen Sleeper Sofas. The third bedroom has a full sized bed which is actually a little small for two adults. I think it should be listed to sleep 9. Other than that we really liked the property and would return with one less person.

- Nathan P. from Washington, Posted: 01/31/2011

Minor things but left an impression. Ceiling fan in living room had a good collection on blades. All vents need a good vacumming. No icemaker which was not stated. Freezer did not have a waterline. 2nd bathroom toilet was just about inoperable. Coffee grounds left in coffee maker. Master bath did not have "jetted tub" that was stated on the website under amenities.

Thoroughly wonderful stay at Utopia. Looking forward to another stay again soon.

- Joseph B. from Annapolis, Posted: 01/09/2011

We loved the location of the house. We loved the house itself and would definitely like to stay there again. Unfortunately, there was dust everywhere and the oven was so dirty that we were unable to use it as it was making smoke when turned on. The handles on the kitchen cabinets were falling off and the faucet in the kitchen was leaking. We were also unable to use the hot tub as it wasn't working properly. I was very happy with the reservation process - it was a great experience. I also was very impressed with the maintenance response after arrival to the house. Overall, we had a great stay and were very happy with the services we received. We would definitely consider going back to the same place again next winter break.

- Jana G. from Frederick, Posted: 01/04/2011

#00yards from slopes great place if you have a dog you need to take out for bathroom breaks and not miss much skiing time. 2 minute walk to the slopes.

- Daniel J. from Smithsburg, Posted: 12/29/2010

The property was wonderful, conveniently located and very much conducive to our family - with young & active children. The instructions were all very well organized, easy to follow and well placed! But the most pleasantly surprising thing was how incredibly helpful & competent the staff were. I probably talked to 4 different people over the phone and in person and EVERY instance left me wondering how amazingly nice, helpful & responsive everyone was. We were so impressed with the entire experience. You guys are likely the BEST management company we've ever had the pleasure of working with. So much that we plan on organizing another family trip soon and potentially a larger family reunion next year!

- Quynh T. from Chevy Chase, Posted: 09/09/2010

As soon as I stepped into the house all I could smell was wet dog, but we got used to it. The house is comfortable and served its purpose of being close to the slopes. The staff at Taylor Made was very helpful and allowed us to check out a little later without us feeling rushed. We travel alot and we remember agencies that are accomodating. We will definiely ren thrgh Taylor Made again.

- Anonymous from Westminster, Posted: 03/04/2010

The house was nice, and the location in terms of convenience was very good. We did have two issues with the property. It was too cold upstairs in the bedrooms, and there was no way for us to get it warm enough for our two young children. The second issue was the noise from the snow makers on the slopes. They ran all night long, and it kept us awake for the two nights we stayed. We were so tired, we ended up leaving a day early to go home.

- Kate W. from Annapolis, Posted: 01/31/2010

Really enjoyed the house! Only problem was there wasn't enough parking!

- Anonymous from Reston, Posted: 01/12/2010

We spent our New Year's vacation at Utopia. You can't beat the location for skiing. It's so close we walked back to the house for lunch during our day of skiing. The house is VERY nice.
However, the dryer didn't work and when the wind blew there was an awful banging noise that kept us up at night. Before renting, I would make sure these items have been addressed. I reported it to the rental company upon checkout. Other than that...our stay was fantastic and we plan on going back!

- Anonymous from Odenton, Posted: 01/05/2010

house was great, kitchen needs some updating, more plates and glasses would be nice to accomodate the amount of people staying. Can't beat the view and ease to the slopes!
