Beckman Peninsula Spectacular Location!

Pleasing whimsical touches and artsy accents are abundant in this lakefront cottage jewel. Soft greens and powder blues adorn the interior and blend seamlessly with the lush natural setting of "Whispering Pines." The downstairs hearth room, just off the kitchen/dining area, has a splendid - no, make that spectacular - view of Deep Creek Lake. A private, lit walkway takes you right down to the docks and the water's edge. A generous outdoor patio is as perfect for entertaining friends as it is for memorable moments with family - plan on having many! The home is conveniently located within minutes of the State Park and could be the perfect place to gather for your next family reunion or company retreat!

Nice, Lakeside property

Nice , 4 bedroom house right on the lake. Washer/dryer was good. Fireplace was nice on cold days. Full kitchen was supplied with all needed utensils. Beds were not as comfortable as we would have liked. Different floor levels were a little cumbersome to get used to. Overall a nice, comfortable stay!

Perfect location in a great house

The house has a lot of cute character and it was the perfect size for two couples. The steps down to the dock gave us quite the workout carrying our kayaks, but the location and access can't be beat. We absolutely loved our stay there! Neighborhood is gorgeous and everyone we talked with was wonderfully friendly.

Great Lake and Ski Getaway!

The house was situated in a perfect location, convenient and secluded, and right on the lake! The house was quirky and full of character, which we loved! The built in games and hot tub were a hit for all. Thanks for a great stay!

Fun Fall Get-away

We truly enjoyed our 4 day stay during the beautiful Fall season. Our weather was fantastic and we loved sitting by the lake and using the fire pit and hot tub! We hiked New Germany State Park, Big Run State Park, Herrington Manor State Park as well as Deep Creek State Park. We enjoyed it all!!

Peaceful Family Friendly Cottage

Wispering Pines was a quaint and peaceful place to stay. While the walk down to the docks contained a lot of stairs, the lakefront location was perfect for our family’s needs. Kids enjoyed swimming off the dock and the hot tub. Adults enjoyed the separate sitting rooms and plentiful spaces for relaxation. Secondary rooms were small and became hot with doors closed but they did the trick. We enjoyed the books and games provided. Overall a very nice house!

Right on the lake, comfortable and relatively clean.

We stayed at this property during Labor day week-end. The house was as it looked on the pictures, except that two of the 4 bedrooms do not have windows, which I don't think comply with fire safety laws. We asked the kids to keep their door open at night since it was their only escape way in case of fire. The kitchen had plenty of dishes and utensils. The house was a bit dated but homey. It looked clean at first glance, but there was lots of dust under the furniture and sofas (as often seen in vacation rentals). We liked the hot-tub (clean) and the immediate access to the lake. Overall, we had a good experience and would return.

Nice place

This property was as listed and as stated in other reviews be prepared to stub your toes from time to time as the floor level changes a number of times by half an inch to 1 inch & these little “steps” blend in with the floor. The views of the lake are spectacular and it’s in a very quiet part of the area. Really well equipped with one exception, we couldn’t find a can opener to save our soul. All in all we had a lovely time and would not hesitate to rent it again

Lovely getaway

Wonderful time with friends and family . The house was just as described-rustic, older, the bedrooms are small except for the master- but we didn’t go there to sleep - so it got 5 stars. If you want a high end fancy home, then go pay the price for that. The house was more than adequate for a very reasonable price. Waterfront, in a quiet neighborhood , delightful deck/ hot tub/ view. The homeowner was very attentive, responded quickly, and took care of everything we needed.

Great spot! We will be coming back!

We stayed for a long weekend and loved this house. All of the bedrooms made sleeping arrangements for all 7 of us easy. We loved how big the kitchen was. Never felt like we were stepping on each others toes. The outside space was awesome. with the hot tub, deck, fir pit area and large dock. Only downside outdoors was there is a row of bushes blocking the view from the deck to the lake. Not sure if that is on purpose but its blocking an amazing view. I would not recommend for any one with any mobility issues. There are many many small elevation changes inside the house that caused several trips. We will be back again!

The shine is off the rose

It was lake access, a boat ramp, and positive reviews that drew me in. Once on-site, I was able to see that this house needs attention - especially the first floor. The electrical outlet in the kitchen was hanging out of the wall. There were ants on the countertop despite our efforts to keep clean. And the uneven floors caused more than one stubbed toe. Renovations are required to raise the quality of the property.

Beautiful views, responsive host but in need of renovations

There are many positives about the property: the location is beautiful and views gorgeous from the house, the host is very responsive and the second level of the property is nice. The house is really a tale of two homes--the main floor and entrance (bedrooms, bathrooms, and rec room) are nice and in good shape. The main bedroom bed was very comfortable but the lower level/living area with kitchen, dining area and living area needs alot of TLC. A deep clean at a minimum is needed. The kitchen is old and the cabinets inside and out are stained from years of use. There is nothing extra in the property so you literally have to bring every single thing you need. Potential renters should also be aware that the house is located at the bottom of steep declining driveway. In the winter, this is a huge concern. Even with my 4 wheel drive vehicle it was very difficult and dangerous to come and go. Our car slid back multiple times trying to drive up with the snow and ice. Most of the other properties nearby have created parking pads at the top of the hill/entrance to their properties to address this issue. The property has a lot of potential but needs some investment and a few additional touches to make this a great rental.
