Dog Friendly Cabin in the Woods, Hot Tub & Firepit

"Lovely cabin, perfect for a girls trip! We enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit and the location was perfect! Would love to come back again "

The Tiny House @ Deep Creek Lake - centrally located to everything Deep Creek

10/10 Excellent

"I can't say enough good things about this property! From the very moment we booked, we got a super thoughtful message with great recommendations..Jeff even followed with some specific suggestions for the Halloween weekend! Location couldn't have been better and it was one of the cleanest, coziest, most welcoming property I've stayed at.We want to come back soon!"

Charming Dog Friendly Cottage w/ Dock & Fire Pit

8/10 Good

"The Red Cottage was a nice place to stay on our four night vacation away with our dog. The house was clean and did not smell of pets at all. Our dog adjusted well to the change of scenery and being in the mountains with new smells. The house was clean and well-stocked with kitchen supplies. Even with the request to bring paper products, there was a bag left for us with a roll of paper towels, two rolls of toilet paper, and mini dish and laundry soap, which was a nice surprise. The sleep number bed was super comfortable and we slept amazingly well. The proximity to downtown McHenry and Oakland is perfect, with lots of places to stop and explore within a short distance of the house. This was the perfect time of year to visit with Autumn Glory in full swing at Deep Creek. Our only complaint is the highway noise at the edge of the property was too much and made it hard to sit outside to enjoy the view. We enjoyed the hot tub very much, yet the last night we were there, the hot tub temp dropped to 95 degrees and the bubble stopped working. Given everything was so well maintained, this is sure to be quickly repaired."
