Deep Creek Lake
The home was absolutely gorgeous! We had coffee on the back deck with the deer every morning and loved the nights by the firepit. So quiet and relaxing. Just what we needed! Thank you for hosting us!

Everything about our stay was great. The place was extremely clean, had a great kitchen, and was private. The only neighbors we saw were some deer with a dawn every morning!

Great Stay for Thansksgiving
We stayed here over the Thanksgiving holiday and really enjoyed ourselves. Our group consisted of 7 adults and 2 kids (ages 6 and 2). The room with the bunk beds was perfect for our small kids. The two master bedrooms are spacious, with comfortable beds. The master on the 3rd floor is in a loft-like/bonus room type of space, so there is no door but it still offers privacy. The room with the trundle bed is small, especially when pulled out to a king, so it may not be ideal for larger/taller adults. If using as only a twin, then you’ll be fine regarding space in the room. We had a bit of a time with the pull out in the basement but figured it out and it slept comfortably as well. It appears that there are hooks that help to keep it from sliding out completely and the pull-out part can get off track of these. I notified the owner, as we thought it was broken, but it ended up not affecting our being able to use it as a bed, so there was room for everyone to sleep comfortably. The kitchen is great! A nice long table to seat everyone, two ovens, and tons of silverware, dishes, pots, pans, and cooking utensils. We brought a lot of cookware with us, not knowing what may be available and not wanting to have to run out, but we thankfully had almost everything we needed. The house is tucked into the woods, so I advise trying to arrive and leave while the sun is up. Lots of deer around – we saw some in the yard each morning! The lake is right across from the house and down a little path in the woods between two houses. We took a stroll down to see it a couple of times and I’m sure during the warmer months it’s a lot of fun. Lots of windows that bring in the light as the sun rises and a big backyard. There was a little snow leftover and it was pretty cold, so we didn’t take advantage of the firepit but I see the potential during the warmer months for utilizing the deck, patio, and porch. The owner, Melissa, was super responsive and very easy to work with, and quickly available for a few questions we had after arriving and even on Thanksgiving! She checked to make sure we had arrived ok and even followed up to ask about an item we accidentally left. Definitely a top-notch host! We would love to come back and I definitely recommend to anyone considering this rental.

Well stocked house with lots of space
My family stayed here recently and had a great time! The house was well stocked with sharp knives and all the cooking/serving dishes you may need, and plenty of room for everyone. The deck and fire pit are great. There is even an oversized bowling set in the basement which was great fun. We did have an issue with no hot water upon arrival but the owner was on top of it as soon as I notified her that night. She was in contact with me early the next morning and got a plumber over within hours that day. The service and communication was great. The big downside is the listing says the lake and dock are steps away but this is very deceiving. The dock is actually quite a trek, including a very steep hill to get down to it. We did the trek once and not again because it was too much for most of us, including our kids who are normally full of energy! Luckily it was not far of a drive for us to get to a marina to rent a boat or to stores nearby for ice or groceries. Overall, the house is great and we had a fun time!

Deep Creek Lake Rental
This rental property was a nice peaceful place to stay close to the lake. It had a good amount of space for my family and I and it was in good condition. The lock on the front door seemed to stick a little and the light switches were a little tricky to figure out at first, meaning which switch went to which light. Overall it was a good place to stay!

Great manager and location
The location was perfect and Melissa was great with communication. Yard was perfect for my two little boys, they loved playing in the gravel. The walk to the lake was a bit longer than expected (little legs) but not bad at all. The welcome binder was a great help! The house is definitely older and the basement has some serious moisture. Overall we had a very nice stay.

Buena casa en una zona muy bonita.
La casa muy bien, grande y bien equipada. Los dueños responden inmediatamente a los mensajes de texto y llamadas intentando resolver los problemillas que surgieron. La calefacción no era suficiente para el frío que hizo. Fuera estabamos entre10 y 20ºF y dentro no alcanzamos 68ºF a pesar de comprar leña para la chimenea (no suministrada con la casa). La chimenea tiene encendido con gas muy cómodo y rápido. Aconsejamos a la propiedad que haga un poco de mantenimiento en la casa (ventana de la cocina mal montada que aislamos con papel, agua caliente y fria cambiada una por otra, bombillas fundidas, ...). La cocina equipadísima hasta con unos cuchillos que cortan fenomenal. La zona muy bonita y muy tranquila, cerca del lago (andando se llega) y con ciervos pasando continuamente. A poca distancia conduciendo hay tiendas y restaurantes (ahora de take away). Antes de entrar a la casa, los dueños piden un disclaimer por Covid firmado.
