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.

Pending availability, we offer an early check in of 1:00 PM and/or a late check out of 12:00 PM for a $45 fee (each). Please message after booking if this is requested (this must be advance planned).

The family dogs are allowed (80 lbs. max.) with a small kennel provided in the home. There is a $50 per visit pet fee. Please notify us after booking if you intend to bring your dog(s).

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. Per VRBO policy we are required to note that there is a Ring security camera on the front and side of the home which monitors the driveway, side, and front door only.

Loved our stay in October 2023, the house was as described in the listing and more. So many things to keep the young and old busy. The house was right next to the lake and we enjoyed the house and location. The owner was a pleasure to communicate with. Will be back.

Lovely location
This house is wonderfully located on the shore of Deep Creek Lake with a pier and an easily accessible beach. Great place to launch a small boat (which we did) and a great view. The cleanliness and readiness for guest was impeccable. I would recommend this to anyone, and we'll likely come back in the future.

Thank you for providing your beautiful home for our family to enjoy time together. It was the perfect place for a quiet getaway. It met all of our needs, including having a beautiful view of not only the lake, but of the wildlife that surrounded it! We look forward to staying there sometime again.

Winter weekend
My family of 8 consisted of a Grandmother, 3 adults, 1 teenager, and 3 kids. This house was perfectly located on the lake, close to Wisp for tubing and snowboarding/skiing, had a hot tub, was pet friendly, and super clean!! Perfect amount of room for all of us. I asked the owner about sledding hills and he got right back to me about the sleds they had there for us and additional hills around the area. I really didn’t need to reach out for any other questions because the directions for everything I needed to know was emailed to me and/or labeled in the house. We love to take our dogs with us places but also appreciate a clean house. This place was very clean. The kids had plenty of entertainment from back yard sledding to board games and even a video game that we ended up not even needing. The wood stove was so cozy and we had every cooking tool that we needed while there also. We will definitely be returning!!

Cozy Cabin
Our stay was phenomenal. The house came with everything we needed for the duration our stay and more. The house felt super cozy and slept my group and myself more than comfortably. Also, the view of the lake in the backyard is a beautiful sight to see during the day. However I will mention that the roads are pretty scary especially at night so I’d advised to drive carefully. Overall, 10/10 experience and I would highly recommend this property for your next stay.

Just What the Dr Ordered!
I’ve stayed in many places in Deep Creek and this is by far the best one! It was the cleanest rental house that I’ve ever been in (and I’m a freak about that lol). The kitchen had more small appliances, etc than my own at home! The walk down to the water was so nice and I loved that it was so shallow, our dog loved that part too. It was so peaceful. The house was laid out so nice with the deck, sunporch, the master bedroom with attached bath, laundry room, etc. we utilized it all! Our dog had the time of his life too lol, and we really appreciate that it was dog friendly because that is extremely hard to find. Especially as nice as this one. I already recommended this home to all of my family members! We all had a blast and we really appreciate that you’re willing to share your home! We hope to be back soon. Thanks again.
