The updated kitchen allows the family chef to easily keep everyone fed and the recently updated basement family room offers ample space for movies, games, and relaxing. Turn on the gas fireplace and enjoy the view from the living room while reading or watching your favorite shows on the flatscreen. If you do decide to leave, you’re just a few miles from everything Deep Creek Lake has to offer, including Wisp Resort, Deep Creek Lake State Park, Swallow Falls State Park, Herrington Manor State Park, a movie theater, and restaurants.

The access code I was provided did not work. It was freezing rain and I was out in it trying to gain access. Vacasa was able to reset code and I was able to get in eventually. Also, the gas fireplace was not working and the pellet stove in the game room was not functioning. Also, water pressure was so low because of “green” usage system it actually encouraged use of single use paper plates and plastic ware. However, overall, it was ok. It states rural, which I guess it technically is, but there were houses stacked on top of each other as in a very suburban area. It was a nice get away because it is off season and during the week.

Solid 3.5 stars
It was basic, but nothing special. Technically you can see the lake from the back deck, but just barely. We had to fight a bit to get the gas fireplace to work (tip: turn the thermostat up to the max). The fire pit in the backyard is in shambles. The listing mentions the driveway, but I didn’t understand it was over a quarter mile of steep gravel roads (multiple intersections) to get there.

Quiet getaway near the lake
The house was perfect for our family of 4 and dog. Clean and well appointed, it's close to the lake and all of its attractions yet it feels very secluded. I would definitely stay here again.

Overall, enjoyed my stay. Mine was just a End of Summer getaway. Would highly recommend arriving before dark; the final road there is moderately steep uphill, on gravel, and uneven in spots. Never needed my 4WD, but i wasn't towing anything; glad i had it tho. Any good downpour of Rain(/Snow) would have pressed that into mandatory. Luckily, nothing but sunshine my entire stay. House Parking is downhill but easy. House is small & cozy, which was exactly what i was looking for. Bed1 was a bit bouncy? but after hiking trails & hitting the lake all day, i barely noticed. The big Grass area right across the road made all my dog walks supereasy. House interior did have an unexpected "No Shoes" rule for the woodfloors; sock yourself accordingly. Water pressure goes from ok to weak for a few minutes when toilets flush, but was fine once you knew. Backdeck was great for enjoying coffee/meals, or just staring off in the distance pondering life's mysteries. Has a table/chairs umbrella for a little bit of cover. Got lucky, neighbors at the next house over were very quiet & barely made a peep. Saw some random wildlife saunter thru the lower property as well. Theres a binder with basic instructions/tips for the house & the area that was useful. Maintenance and Housekeeping were all nice/responsive, which was appreciated. House is just ok, but proximity to all the best stops is Excellent. minutes from everything i wanted to hit while i was enjoying the Lake Area.

Overall pretty good
The house was great overall. My only complaints with the property would be that the water pressure is very poor and the master bathroom toilet does not flush very well. I was very disappointed with management because I had specifically asked before going if coffee filters and coffee were provided, and was told that they were, only to get there late in the evening and find that they were not provided. So we had to go out just to buy them. But it was a lovely area with deer in the yard almost all day ever day. So pretty!
