The location was great, close to the water and only about 15 minutes to Swallow Falls. The house was very welcoming and cozy, but larger than what it appears online. The bed was comfortable and the hot tub and fireplace were so nice to come home to! Communication was great with the host and they were very helpful and quick with their responses. If you're looking for a Deep Creek home to rent, this is the place! ##### Christy O. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dena S.

We arrived on Thanksgiving day and were pleasantly surprised to find a decorated Christmas tree lit by the fireplace. The house is a very convenient 10-15 minute drive to Oakland or McHenry. We loved sitting in the hot tub while it was snowing. Our granddaughter enjoyed the arcade game upstairs and was really excited about the bunk bed room. We had a wonderful stay and would love to come back in the warmer months so we could enjoy the beautiful outdoor amenities, as well. The staff was very friendly and helpful with any questions we had. Would definitely recommend! ##### Dena S. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nate T.

I was most impressed with communication from the owners and the tips and details they provided before our arrival. It helped so much with planning. We arrived to a help basket with some favorite treats like popcorn and hot cocoa which was a plesant surprise. The properyy is homey and modern. I was impressed with the size of the.bunk beds and all the beds. There were plenty of blankets and cookware. Pretty much had everything we needed for a group. Hot tub was ready to go at night and although we didnt use the firepit, we were pleased to find wood ready to go if we did. The owners communicated so well before, during, and after our stay. They made sure we were comfortable and addressed any questions right away. Highly recommend!! ##### Nate T. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patty B.

It was almost as if it was made for our family. We were planning a fall getaway as a celebration of my husband’s retirement. Perfect size for the 12 of us. Our son, daughter, their spouses and our six grandchildren loved every minute. Fishing, gaming, hot-tubbing & s’mores around the fire pit every night! The house was clean, well-furnished and the kitchen had everything we needed. Our teenaged boys shared the roomy bunk room. Our college-student granddaughter had the den. The 2 younger boys had the sofa-bed in their parents room. I could go on & on! There was even seating for 12 around the dining room table! Perfect! Our small dogs safely spent time on the large deck with the safety screen furnished by owners. We would definitely rent this lovely home again! #family12 ##### Patty B.
