Apr 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Terrific Off-Season Gem! Water in the Sky is a cozy and eclectic gem of a cottage! We spent 3 days here in early April during an unexpectedly warm early spring getaway. The cabin was clean and well stocked and has lots of charm. It is located on a quiet arm of Deep Creek Lake, even more enjoyable because of the solitude and serenity of the early spring. We enjoyed the waterfront seating (dock wasn’t in yet, but it didn’t bother us), the fire circle, the view of the dark skies from the hot tub and time spent on the enclosed porch when it was a bit chilly. The king bed was really comfortable and we had everything we needed in the kitchen. The updated bathroom was great too. This was a perfect place for a couple’s getaway, with Swallow Falls and plenty of other hiking locations nearby. We will come back when the water is warmer and enjoy kayaking and fishing. ##### Judy M. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Sarah M.

Areas under the bunk beds (anywhere away from high traffic) looked like it had not been cleaned for a long time. Also, when it rains, the bedroom smells very musty. Beautiful view, but just know to expect a rustic cabin. ##### Sarah M. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2021 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Martha M.

Thanks! ##### Patrick M. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### philip s.

The one thing to remember when renting out a pet friendly house is, you must be able to control the humidity inside the house. The humidity tends to bring out odor and the sheets and bed spreads smelled like they haven't been washed . I'm sure they were but it's the only issue we had . We will come again ##### Ingrid M.

My wife and our puppy spent an amazing long weekend here enjoying the private dock, hot tub, comfortable rear deck onlooking the yard and lakefront, and cozy cabin-like stay here. Our mornings were spent exploring the local attractions including Swallow Falls State Park and Wisp Resort--a must visit to ride the Mountain Coaster!! By noon we were laying out on the dock, jumping into the crystal clear water and floating aimlessly in our tubes! The BBQ grill made it simple to cook up a few hamburgers, hot dogs etc. without having to worry about where to eat lunch or a mid-afternoon snack. In the vicinity you can find JGs Pub--a 5 minute drive located right as you get to Garrett Highway. If you stop by ask for Lisa and try out the Zucchini Spears, they're a must have!! Further down the road you'll find Trader's Coffee which overlooks the lake across the street, as well as kayak/boat/jet ski rentals next door. Overall my wife and I were very pleased with our stay and the atmosphere of Deep Creek Lake. We will visit again!! ##### Kurtis P. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa H. Jul 17, 2018 #### Nice little cottage and dock. Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice little cottage but Lake Front an Dock are the best features. Dock is great to just sit and float on view from with many ways to moor your boat, PWCs, kayak, etc. That is were we spent most of our time besides on the water. The semi- circular driveway is nice so you don’t have to back out on a narrow gravel road. It is in a private community so most of the time the surrounding neighbors were quite with little traffic. Some minor fixes would be new floors, back porch door, rotting steps to dock, etc. Also wish the boat ramp was closer. Overall would stay here again. ##### Lisa H. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2018 From a partner site ### 6/10 Okay Jul 2, 2018 #### Great, except for the water issues Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a charming place to stay near the water. Small but decent for two people and a dog. The biggest drawback was that the water flowed yellowish brown from the tap for a day (it cleared up mostly in day two). I wrote Deep Creek Lodging Company an email immediately and after our stay but received no response. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent Jun 26, 2018 #### Cozy, Clean, Comfortable Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: If you want an inexpensive visit to a nice area of the lake with a dock, fire pit and tall trees giving privacy you can't beat this one bedroom cottage. We rented "Water in The Sky" as a second property for additional guests and a place to park a boat and jet skis for the week. It fulfilled our needs and we would rent it again. ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Cherry Cove Cottage 2 Bedroom House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cumberland-Hotels-Cherry-Cove-Cottage-2-Bedroom-House.h32720784.Hotel-Information) > - [Hilton Garden Inn Annapolis Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Annapolis-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Annapolis-Downtown.h892213.Hotel-Information) > - [Gaithersburg Marriott Washingtonian Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Bethesda-Hotels-Gaithersburg-Marriott-Washingtonian-Center.h13778.Hotel-Information) > - [Sunset Ridge 3 Bedroom House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cumberland-Hotels-Sunset-Ridge-3-Bedroom-House.h32721388.Hotel-Information) > - [Cozy 1-bedroom efficiency apartment with private entrance in Westminster.](https://www.expedia.ca/Westminster-Hotels-Cozy-1-Bedroom-Second-Floor-Apartment-With-Private-Entrance-In-Westminster.h110783291.Hotel-Information) > - [The Hotel at the University of Maryland](https://www.expedia.ca/College-Park-Hotels-The-Hotel-At-The-University-Of-Maryland.h19715080.Hotel-Information) > - [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > - [Sleepy Pines](https://www.expedia.ca/Cumberland-Hotels-Sleepy-Pines.h40218024.Hotel-Information) > - [TownePlace Suites Bowie Town Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Annapolis-Hotels-TownePlace-Suites-Bowie-Town-Center.h1185103.Hotel-Information) > - [St. Bart's Retreat 7 Bedroom House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cumberland-Hotels-St-Barts-Retreat-7-Bedroom-House.h32721072.Hotel-Information) > - [Tucked Inn 4 Bedroom House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cumberland-Hotels-Tucked-Inn-4-Bedroom-House.h32720819.Hotel-Information) > - [Top Floor Standard Deluxe](https://www.expedia.ca/North-East-Hotels-Sandy-Cove-Ministries-Third-East-Standard-Deluxe.h71447308.Hotel-Information) > - [Cumberland Inn and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Cumberland-Hotels-Cumberland-Inn-And-Spa.h21228325.Hotel-Information) > - [Lake Escape 5 Bedroom House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cumberland-Hotels-Lake-Escape-5-Bedroom-House.h32720708.Hotel-Information) > - [Wingate by Wyndham Bel Air I-95 Exit 77A / APG Area](https://www.expedia.ca/Edgewood-Hotels-Wingate-By-Wyndham-Bel-Air-I-95-Exit-77A.h56432.Hotel-Information) > - [Fire Pit, Hot Tub, Suites & Scenery Await!](https://www.expedia.ca/McHenry-Hotels-NEW-Lakefront-Home-WPrivate-Dock.h83923588.Hotel-Information) > - [The Rockville Hotel, a Ramada by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Bethesda-Hotels-The-Rockville-Hotel.h34565.Hotel-Information) > - [Rocky Gap Casino & Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Cumberland-Hotels-Rocky-Gap-Casino-Resort.h119318.Hotel-Information) > - [Mountain Top Ski In/Out Chalet w/ Hot Tub](https://www.expedia.ca/McHenry-Hotels-New-Bear-Bottom-Lodge-Lake-Area.h88728888.Hotel-Information) > - [The Pines 3 Bedroom House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cumberland-Hotels-The-Pines-3-Bedroom-House.h32721105.Hotel-Information) > - [Robert Morris Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Oxford-Hotels-Robert-Morris-Inn.h1501598.Hotel-Information) > - [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Clear Spring by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hagerstown-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Clear-Spring.h2710513.Hotel-Information) > - [Boston Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Frederick-Hotels-Boston-Inn.h1219619.Hotel-Information) > - [Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Cambridge-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Chesapeake-Bay.h890486.Hotel-Information) > - [Travelodge by Wyndham Brunswick near Frederick](https://www.expedia.ca/Frederick-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Brunswick-Near-Frederick.h890617.Hotel-Information) > - [Econo Lodge Andrews Air Force Base](https://www.expedia.ca/Waldorf-Hotels-Econo-Lodge-Andrews-Air-Force-Base.h20372.Hotel-Information) > - [Americas Best Value Inn Princess Anne](https://www.expedia.ca/Salisbury-Hotels-Americas-Best-Value-Inn-Princess-Anne.h871786.Hotel-Information) > - [Sleep Inn & Suites Near Joint Base Andrews - Washington Area](https://www.expedia.ca/Waldorf-Hotels-Sleep-Inn-Suites-Near-Joint-Base-Andrews-Washington-Area.h2001534.Hotel-Information) > - [Four Seasons 4 Bedroom Apartment](https://www.expedia.ca/Cumberland-Hotels-Four-Seasons-4-Bedroom-Apartment.h32721028.Hotel-Information)
