About this property
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.

Matt was very helpful and communicative starting before our trip, and provided lots of useful information to make our stay an enjoyable one. The house was clean, cozy, and comfortable, and the setting is beautiful right on the lake with lots of activities nearby, even though it was just after the end of the summer season and pretty quiet in the area.
This was our second visit & it was just as beautiful as last time. We spent most of our time paddle boarding and on the beach. The hot tub is always a favorite of the kids! The cottage is always clean and cozy. Thanks again for a great family vacation!
Host is very organized and helpful, making your stay as comfortable as possible. House was extremely clean and on a quiet, private road. Perfect for a two family get away to Deep Creek Lake.
We come to deep creek every February and this is by far the best house we have ever rented. Cozy, clean and dog friendly. We loved it and will definitely be back again! Owners definitely take pride in their home and it shows.
Had a wonderful time at this ranch style lakeview home. Had all the amenities we needed! Host/0wner easy to communicate with a nicely priced! Highly recommend!!
We had a wonderful stay! The house was cute, had everything we needed including a beautiful view! Our dogs loved the large yard. I hope to be back someday.
We booked a last minute stay and were extremely pleased with everything about this rental. The place is very clean, the location can't be beat and the amenities are plentiful. We would definitely come back for a lobger stay next time. Highly recommend.
My family and I stayed at this very quiet property, all you could hear was beautiful sounds of nature. The housewas comfy, cleaned, well stocked, just a few steps from to the lake. We really enjoyed our time here and hope come back again soon!
We enjoyed our stay from the minute we arrived until the minute we left. The house was awesome with every amenity needed for our short stay. We would gladly come back again when we want another weekend away.
We sisters enjoyed trail hiking, relaxed in the hot tub , cooking in the well equipped kitchen and visiting the historic town of Oakland.
This cottage was clean and comfortable!
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.
This is a very cozy home! It is clean, comfortable, and inviting. The view of the lake was breathtaking. This home was well stocked with all essential supplies. I would not hesitate to stay here again.
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.
Super clean house! Great communication with owner. The house is roomy and very well appointed. The hot tub was very nice. Plenty of wood for indoor stove and fire pit. We look forward to going back.
Very cute and comfy house with nice deck and hot tub. Lake is beautiful but house is a bit set back from lake. Not too far but not right on lake as I was expecting. Still a great place and great communication!
The house was clean, the hot tub on the large deck with ample seating and the fire pit make the back yard a destination with a view. Beds are awesome and the water is hot! Kitchen was well equipped. The overall experience was great! Thank you Matt!
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.
Stayed from Sunday-Wednesday, mid-September. We had a great time. Beautiful view of the lake from the backyard with lots of sitting areas available. It was a bummer that the water level was so low, but that’s nature for you! The area is so quiet. We were def able to relax and chill
Great place ..
Great location..
Great interaction with owner..
Some friends and our pets..the only downside is I didn't catch anything...thanks for the use of your place..a much needed getaway...cheerz
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.
