About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Lakefront, Wooded, & Secluded Home - Family Dogs Welcome.

Nestled in a quiet and wooded original lake neighborhood on the west wide of Deep Creek Lake, our home “Lake View Escape” is a perfect spot for your relaxing year round retreat. Our spacious property includes plenty of (flat) off street parking, a large deck with a hot tub/grill/picnic table, a great back yard to spread out in, and a fire pit with plenty of outdoor seating.

You will take a very brief stroll from the back deck down to the lake where you will find a sandy beach, dock, and an amazing kid friendly swimming area. Our kids and dogs love swimming in the shallow cove, swimming across to the other nearby shore, and setting up imaginary worlds all around the beach area.

Your guests will immediately feel at home inside our home where there is a cozy living room with a wood stove, a large kitchen and adjacent dining area, a sunroom for lazy book reading in the mountain air or watching a movie, as well as the three bedrooms (5 beds), and two full baths with showers.

We are located 15-20 minutes from most of the deep creek attractions including The Wisp, Swallow Falls, Deep Creek State Park, white water rafting, area golf courses, and McHenry, Maryland.

Most of our guests plan to return again due to the very special connection with our home and property - we hope you come stay with us soon!

Please note that the DNR adjusts the lake depth throughout the year, outside of our control, so the water depth at the dock varies, please check and also be aware if parking a boat at the dock in low water. The dock is removed from the water in October based on lake rules. The boat dock is an amenity that is subject to weather conditions, water levels, and other natural factors.

Pending availability, we offer an early check in of 1:00 PM and/or a late check out of 12:00 PM for a fee. Please message after booking if this is requested (this must be advance planned).

The family dogs are allowed with a small kennel provided in the home. There is a pet fee per reservation that needs to be selected at checkout, this includes two dogs max, additional dogs need to be discussed and would require additional fee if approved.

We have both a woodstove and firepit with firewood provided. A 4x4 is recommended in the winter.

You must be 21 years or older to rent this property.

Winter weekend

We had a great stay! Location was perfect - quick 15 minutes to Wisp. Cozy well-appointed house with all the necessities. It was snowy and very cold that weekend, but the wood stove and hot tub kept us nice and warm. Matt was easy to work with and we felt very welcome! Hope to return to explore the lake in the summer.
