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.

Great house with all the amenities possible.

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.

Another perfect pandemic weekend away

This is our second Christmas going at DCL due to the pandemic. Just our immediate family has spent these times together and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to relax. This sweet little rancher is just a few minutes away from Fork Run Recreational Area, the maze trail and Swallow Falls. We did lots of hiking and enjoyed the hot tub when we returned. The hot tub was a great size and looked new - def maintained well. The beds were super comfy and house was roomy enough for the 5 of us. Lastly, the owner was very communicative and the house clean and maintained overall. We appreciated our little escape to DCL.

Lovely Lake Home

We enjoyed staying at this property very much. The Lake was very low. Matt had mentioned there could be variation in water levels. We were not prepared for the dry dock. Swimming was not even possible. The neighbors’ water depth was fine. I presume this was due to the placement of the house on the cove. The house and amenities were wonderful. Great communication and information provided. Lovely view.

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!!

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.

We had a relaxing get away with our 2 fur babies. The house was very clean with comfy beds and a very well stocked kitchen. Our fur babies loved playing in the leaves. We had hoped to see a bear, but that didn't happen. We enjoyed daily visits by the deer who were eating the pears. We really liked the area of the lake the house sat on.
