Rustic, yet Upgraded Cabin on Stunning, Level Lakefront Lot with LONG Lake Views
One of the best lots with some of the best views on the whole lake! Lots of room to roam and play in the spacious yard, or just relax on the expansive deck while enjoying the views of the lake. Renovated but Rustic cabin style house, with multiple living spaces. Wonderful Lake views from the kitchen, the main living area or from the family room! Enjoy features such as the retro appliances, concrete counters, frosted glass barn doors, ~1000 sq foot trex deck, two fire pit areas, metal roof, fun sleeping loft (this has a knee wall but is not enclosed) w/ 4 twin beds and more! There are a lot of upgrades, but also there are some quirks- some of the countertops are slightly different heights- the floors are "plywood hardwood" that were painted white (they will look dirty)- there are a couple of cracked windows- you may have to pull the sprayer down to get better water pressure in the kitchen sink- a section of the deck boards has popped up at one edge- there is a lot of iron in the water (we suggest bottled water, and avoid washing whites)- there is not AC (rarely is it needed)- there is not heat in the main room (just the bedrooms, family room and bathrooms) so if it is chilly outside have sweatshirts handy- sometimes the living room ceiling fan is a little tricky- the loft ladder is not suitable for very little ones- the loft has a knee wall but is not enclosed (noise travels)- the frosted glass barn doors to the 2 bedrooms do not lock, and if you are naked and stand very close to the door YES someone will see you- If you think these type of things would ruin your stay, please do not book with us! If you want a great house that can sleep up to 10, with a hot tub, stunning views, HUGE deck and yard, your dog(s) is part of the family, and want some of the best outdoor space on the lake, well then welcome to our home!

we had a wonderful stay, the indoor and outdoor space was lovely and the location on the lake was perfect. We would love to stay here any chance we get in the future!
This was a great vacation for our entire family, including our dogs. The location was absolutely perfect. The house was great for our party of 8. And the noted “quirks” were not bad at all. We all loved everything about our week.
Great location and fantastic views of the lake. The communication from the host was very informative. The house was large enough for our family. Kitchen had everything we needed. The weather was perfect for porch sitting and water activities.
The location of property from state boat launch is great. The location to various favorite fishing spots was great. The pitch of yard was reasonably easy. Accommodations lacking only in mattress comfort of one room and wifi only worked in one specific spot close to kitchen island.
Thouroughly enjoyed our stay! Property as listed. Perfect for our group of family and friends with plenty of room for all. The second refrigerator was a blessing. The vast amount of amenities saved us extra purchses for anything we may have forgotten. We will definately rent this home again!
Beautiful property with amazing lake views and access. Cabin is rustic but cute and comfortable.It was heaven for our 3 water obsessed dogs.I was worried about no AC but we really didn't need it with all the fans in the house and it cooled down at night.Host was very responsive and gave a very detailed description of check in process and everything you needed to know about the house and property.We had a wonderful time!
Adorable cabin. Lovely lot and amazing views. The huge deck is perfect and where we spent a good deal if our time. Our kids enjoyed the paddle boards. The hot tub was great too
We had a great time at the lake. The house was awesome, perfect for what we wanted. We loved how peaceful and quiet it was there. The dogs enjoyed it too! Hopefully we’ll be able to come back next year!
The host was very easy to work with! The cabin was in a perfect location on the water. It was private and in close proximity to everything. A nice spot for someone with kids and pets
The property was the perfect place for a Labor Day weekend with friends! Great views of the lake, close to town for grocery runs, awesome amenities, and plenty of space for our large crew. Would recommend and hope to be back!

The location was the best part about our stay. And the outside are was great. I wanted to love this property, but I feel like it needs a deep cleaning and some maintenance. Screen door to the deck was hard to open and close. The place wasn’t cleaned upon arrival. The host told us this was the second time this happened. When the cleaners showed up, they did the bare minimum so the place felt dirty to us. Had to go out to get them as they were leaving to tell them to clean up the loft area. We knew there wasn’t any AC, but it we were definitely hot and sweaty during the day and we had to leave the windows open at night to get air. Jaime did address our concerns about the cleaning and gave us a little bit of a discount and gave us a late check out.
This amazing house has it all: direct private water access mere steps away (but without a bunch of annoying stairs), close proximity to Deep Creek's business/tourist district while still being pretty quiet and low-key, a big yard for dogs to run around in, simple and cozy unlike some of the overblown McMansion type places you see in the area but without sacrificing any important amenities, and chipmunks galore!
We completely fell in love with this sweet spot! The cabin was clean and fresh and the perfect size for our big family. Waking up to the beautiful lawn and dock was so peaceful. We even tacked on an extra day because we didn’t want to leave. We will most definitely be back!
Our family stayed here with our two dogs. It was a perfect few days, we wish we had booked for longer. The deck was perfect for spending time at night by the fire pits. The dock was perfect for fishing. Although the neighbors are close, there was completely privacy separated by the tree lines. We will definitely be booking to stay here again!

About the host
Hosted by Jamie Wiles
We are a family of 5 from Leesburg Va, 2 kids in college and one in HS. Deep Creek is an amazing place for family and friends!
Why they chose this property
THE LOT AND THE VIEWS. After looking at many homes with steep lots and many steps down to the water, we knew this was the right place before we ever stepped inside. We gutted and renovated the house with the vision of recreating my wife's grandparents hunting lodge in the Ozark foothills of Missouri. While it may not be for everyone, we believe that many will love the vibe that has been created!
