Experience the beauty of Deep Creek Lake year-round at this secluded Gambrel-style cabin, tucked away in the peaceful woods of Oakland. Whether you're a hiker, skier, or water sports enthusiast, you'll love coming back to unwind in the brand-new hot tub (installed June 2023), relax on the wraparound deck, or gather around the firepit to roast s'mores at the forest’s edge.
This charming two-story cabin is nestled on nearly an acre of land within the Youghiogheny Mountain Resort community, bordered by a spring-fed creek. The area offers endless hiking opportunities, with Swallow Falls State Park just under five miles away. You'll also be perfectly positioned to explore nearby Harrington Manor State Park (five miles), Deep Creek Lake State Park (12 miles), and Wisp Resort (12 miles).
In the warmer months, start and end your days enjoying the cabin’s inviting outdoor spaces. Challenge friends to a game of cornhole or horseshoes, relax in the hammock for an afternoon nap, and fire up the gas grill for delicious barbecue dinners on the deck. During the winter, cozy up indoors for foosball and Nintendo Classic tournaments while snow gently falls outside.
Inside, the cabin features a range of recent updates, including an open, updated kitchen with an island and bar seating. Enjoy meals together in the dining area, and gather in the second living room for relaxed evenings after dinner. Both bedrooms are located upstairs, with one featuring its own smart TV, DVD player, and desk for remote work or study. Central air-conditioning, a private washer/dryer, and complimentary WiFi ensure your stay is comfortable and convenient.

I went for my bachelorette weekend with 6 of my best friends and we absolutely loved it. The place was beautiful and had so much to offer. We enjoyed the hot tub and spending time around the camp fire. Definitely a great place to stay and would recommend to family and friends!!

Lovely pet friendly cabin!
We loved the hot tub and they provided plenty of towels! We had a very comfortable stay, if you want to do baking bring what you need, but they had plenty of dishes and glasses and such. Very secluded and surrounded by trees!

The home was perfect in every way. We really enjoyed having a bon fire in the evening and relaxing in the hot tub. We loved how secluded the property was. It was a much needed relaxing getaway for us.

Cozy cabin weekend
I booked this cabin for a bachelorette weekend. It’s perfect if you like to be tucked away in the woods with lots of privacy. It takes about 20 minutes to get to restaurants and shops. All the amenities we needed were there. We got to see lots of chipmunks and deer!

Perfect getaway for our family of four.
The location was perfect for a private getaway! We had everything we needed. The kids enjoyed playing in the yard, roasting food over the awesome fire pit, and time in the hot tub. We weren’t far away from amazing views, hikes, swimming holes — all within 10 minutes. Drive slightly longer and be in the middle of all things Deep Creek has to offer. Would go back every year.
A secluded cabin that is dog friendly and with a hot tub. Just what we needed. Convenient to Swallow falls but about a 20minute drive to Deep Creek Lake. Check in process a little confusing because the key fab is in a lockbox at the Vacasa Office (about 20 mins away from the cabin).

Nice place to stay but…
We loved the cabin.. very nice and quiet. Lots to do in the area and we loved the state parks. I don’t think I would book with Vacasa again though. Our check out time was 10am. They had the hot tub maintenance guy come at 9am. And the cleaners were sitting at the end of the driveway from 9:15 waiting on us to leave. Very unprofessional in my opinion and kinda pushy. We left at 9:35 and they pulled in right after we pulled out of the driveway.

Great place for some forest therapy
Woodsy Way is a lovely retreat situated in a gated community called the Youghiogheny Mountain Resort, about a half-hour drive away from Deep Creek Lake. It had everything we needed on site, including a nice hot tub on the deck, as well as a fire pit and plenty of outdoor seating. The cabin does not have AC but the shady setting was still comfortable using the many box fans provided. Occasionally, people rode by on all-terrain vehicles but the atmosphere was mostly quiet and filled with birdsong. The only hiccup is that the downstairs Roku was dysfunctional. The upstairs unit worked, however. All in all, we spent a relaxing weekend celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary.

Quiet retreat in woods
We loved the area. Many great parks to bike, kayak and hike in. Away from crowds at deep creek lake but close enough to enjoy restaurants and lake.
The property was great. Everything worked well. A rustic little place but with modern amenities. We had a great time!

Great cabin in the woods
So many nice amenities to be comfortable for a week at a cabin in the woods, air conditioning and wifi. Many nearby trails and the private community property for nature appreciation activities.
