Great house that accommodated everyone

We've stayed at the house a few years as go. We loved it then and still love it. Was big enough for all of us. Only suggestion, bring sunglasses. The family room gets bright when the sun comes up. But seriously, it's a great view.

Really enjoyed this experience

The cabin was nice, the land was absolutely gorgeous, and the rental managers were fantastic and timely in responses. We did have to drive to the community lakefront, it’s a winding road down. The place was very cozy and exactly the vibe we were looking for for our family cabin getaway. The kitchen supplies were in a disarray and had varying levels of cleanliness. But we mostly brought our own cooking/eating utensils, plates, and cups, which I highly recommend. Also need to bring your own paper products, soaps, and seasonings. So we packed relatively heavy. Definitely do recommend this cabin.

Nice stay

Overall we really enjoyed the property. The location was ideal and we were able to take advantage of the community’s private lake access. My only complaint is that the hot tub was broken upon arrival, and has been for many weeks. This should have been communicated to us prior and even offer a price reduction. That experience prevents me from giving a higher rating.

Loveeed our stay. The house was spacious with great views. It’s in great location.

Lots of activities around. Plus points cause we got community lake access, we enjoyed that. We just wish there are more toiletries and basic needs provided like hand soap, dishwasher soap and such. But overall very good. Oh the only thing was the sun room wasnt clean but the rest of the house was.

Great place to stay and relax

We had a nice relaxing stay in this beautiful house. It happened to snow a lot during our stay but the streets were plowed pretty regularly and they were nice enough to plow our driveway for us as well as the walkway. All accommodations were great except the kitchen faucet was not attached to the sink securely. It still worked but was a little irritating to use. Other than that everything was great. We would definitely stay here again.

Family Getaway

Sparks to Stars was a perfect location for a relaxing vacation with my adult children and their families, including the furry variety. The home had everything we needed and more. The mountain views and the starry nights were breathtaking. We appreciated having the Paradise Ridge lake access as well. I would highly recommend this home and vacation spot!!!

Wonderful family getaway

The house was perfect for our families (10 months - 54 yrs old). Beautiful view, plenty to keep everyone occupied with the hot tub, pool table, and large table for meals and games. We enjoyed staying in and relaxing as well as being in close proximity to swallow falls. Home came well equipped. There was nothing we needed that wasn’t provided!

Perfect Summer Getaway

My family of 10 and our dog stayed here for a week in August. It was our first time visiting Deep Creek Lake and we enjoyed every minute of it! Close lake access, we brought our boat and two jetskis and were able to dock them at the Marina just a few minutes away. The house was beautiful and had plenty of space. We enjoyed the privacy and peacefulness! Would definitely stay here again
