Fir Reel

We chose “Fir Shore” for a 60th birthday family gathering. It was great! Everybody enjoyed the house. The beds were comfy, the house was spacious and the decorations seemed above average for a rental. Very pleasant. We had fun with the pool table, the hot tub (even though the jets didn’t always work), sitting on the deck, playing cards at the big dining room table. The kitchen had everything we could wish for and more. The TVs relied on smart apps only. Internet service was good. A dock slip was advertised, but was not available. So we rented one for about 500. Taylor-Made offered 150 refund. Still, overall a great stay.Some small things we ran in to, which might be helpful to know:- The wash machine does not complete “light” loads. Use medium or large loads. - One of the wooden benches in the dining room has a bit of a catch due to a wood irregularity that snagged and tore some clothing. We put that bench by the window and used the other one at the table.- The guy directly across the street called and complained to the rental agency after we turned around in his gravel driveway. It was a very light disturbance with tire tracks and a slight groove visible on the otherwise smooth gravel.

We went to Deep Creek to celebrate a family birthday. We were only there for 3 days but managed to cram in boating, mini golf and just sitting around the fire pit. Plenty of room in the house for all of us and the location made everything easily reachable. We never felt on top of each other.
