We had a very enjoyable week at the Maine Retreat. It comfortably hosted our family of five adults and two dogs. There was very little signs of pets having stayed there previously. The listing photos were accurate and the beds were very comfortable. We utilized the outdoor fire pit almost every night and the life jackets/canoe were a great bonus since the lake access was even more accessible than we thought it would be! The area is quiet and secluded, but still very close to all the Deep Creek Lake staples and state parks. We would definitely stay here again!

I really enjoyed our stay here. We were four adults and fit nicely even with one bathroom. The beds were perfect. I normally leave vacation with a sore back but this time I didn’t. The beds were nice and firm but not uncomfortable. The location is more remote but a short walk to the lake where you’ll find a canoe. I loved sitting out by the fire pit and going for walks around the woods. The state park is 7 miles driving and everything is super convenient from this location. I would say when driving around to look out for the deer. They are everywhere during every park of the day. I would definitely stay here again!

The house was very clean and cozy. The bed in the back with the tv was not very comfortable and I had to resort to the couch. The bathroom sink drained very slow and some of the items that were listed in the book, we could not find..charcoal, adult life vests. The wildlife did not disappoint and the walk to the lake was beautiful.

Great stay!

The stay was great! Although, the trail to the lake was about 1 mile through the woods. The ad says sleeps 10. We had 8 and found it a little tight. There are 3 bedrooms with 1 queen bed each, and a pull out couch. In the end, we enjoyed time with family.

Great first experience at Deep Creek!

Wonderful place! The cabin was absolutely great. Very clean and a great location. The property is beautiful - we saw deer in the back yard within 30 minutes of arrival! During our walk on the trail to the lake we saw a family of deer, one was almost pure white - beautiful! Very quiet area. The owners were very prompt with responses and a pleasure to work with. It was our first visit to the area, and we will definately return.
Response from VrboOwner on 31 July 2021
Our home is so close to "Deer Crest" that many of our guests have deer sightings. It's awesome that people are still seeing the white deer around. We think he's the coolest of them all!

Weekend

The cabin was very nice. The add needs to be updated though. Add states there is shampoo and soap. There was no shampoo. Wifi password was not under the modem but in the book. And the dish washer was full of dishes did not know if they were clean or dirty. Was on a weekend get away and was not about to put dishes away.

Disliked: Communication
The cabin was very cute and well stocked. Great location close to Wisp. We overall really enjoyed the stay. Communication was poor, no response to question day before arrival regarding coffee appliance. I packed my own coffee maker just in case since I didn’t hear back. Could not check listing for details, it was taken down from vrbo site (not sure if this was intentional or a glitch with website). The combination of not seeing the listing to review and not hearing back from owner caused concern about the validity of our reservation as we drove from our home 3 hrs away. The communication issues continued- delayed response to inquiry made during stay. Received response the evening before we were checking out. Several lights bulbs were out making it very dark. One of the heating units didn’t work. I eventually fixed the heat on my own, discovered a tripped fuse for this unit in breaker box. Master bedroom bed was so uncomfortable- had to move to fold out couch on 2nd night. Could not find sheets for this, so we took sheets off of the queen. There were extra pillows in closets, no pillowcases. Overall it was a fun getaway, but not without a few bumps along the way in the cabin/vrbo experience.

Vacation Memories we will NEVER forget!!

The Maine Retreat was all we expected and then some. It was clean, comfortable, rustic and just perfect! Not to mention extremely affordable compared to other rentals of this size!! We really did not need to bring anything but ourselves, clothes and some food, because they had EVERYTHING you would ever need! The owners made the renting of their beautiful home so easy and they are such wonderful people!! We also brought our two furry kids with us (our dogs, L.C. and Sampson), and they had a blast running around the property and down to the cove. We also went to a few places where they were able to go swimming, New Germany Park and Swallow Falls Park were the best! Outside of the entrance to Swallow Falls Park there's a place where you can park your car and cross the road. We were walking on the trail and went down the embankment a few times and found some places they could jump in the river and swim along with us (it was pretty deep in certain spots too). They/we LOVED it!!!!. We also went to Wisp Resort and rode on the Mountain Coaster. It was unbelievably fun! We also went to ASCI, where they have manmade white water rafting. We had a blast there!! We flipped the raft at one point and it was intense!!! Well worth every second! We got to see some deer outside of the cabin and when my husband went golfing at Wisp Resort he got to see a bear on fairway #3. It was about 50 yards in front of him. He said it ran probably 200 yards in 20 seconds so do not EVER try to out run one if you are face to face with it!!! All in all we had a fantastic time and we will surely always remember this vacation fondly!! Thank you so much Pia and Greg for making this a memorable vacation for us and our two four legged children :o) Chris, Irene, L.C. and Sampson K. Pasadena, Maryland

The accommodations are wonderful and we very much enjoyed our time. Almost everything you need is provided. If you’re going to spend much time around the fire pit I would suggest taking some camp chairs if you can. 1 of the 3 benches was broken and the other 2 are about as comfortable as one would expect a bench to be. I would also suggest taking travel mirrors if possible. The only mirror is in the bathroom so my wife and mother had to skip around between everyone else taking showers and using the bathroom to do their hair and makeup. The ad says has shampoo and might say shower get, not sure, but it is not provided. We had read that in another post so came prepared. The four of us showed up for a 4 days stay with only a roll and a half of toilet paper and one roll of paper towels. Not a big deal, a market is just down the road. All in all this is a wonderful place. Fairly private and good easy roads to get into and out of.

Would we stay here again? Absolutely! Do we recommend it to others? 100%. We had a great long-term stay at the Maine Retreat. The place was even more beautiful than expected, and Pia was a gracious host given our particular circumstances. The home has all the essentials for a comfortable stay, including cooking and bakeware, wood for the fire, and access to the lake (8-10 min walk from cabin). As someone else has noted, the beds are a bit tight if you’re sharing with another but it just adds to the cozy atmosphere. Guests should note there’s no AC but there is a ceiling fan in the living area and one standalone fan. We loved the location and that it was a retreat but close to everything Deep Creek has to offer. Anyone would enjoy this place!

Sublimely Relaxing!

I would have likely rated 6 stars if the weather had been nicer! ( I do know there are only 5 stars). It rained most of the week, but honestly we didn't care as its been so hot and dry here in Florida, it was kind of nice to have several rainy days. The front porch can't be beat. I imagine that the Summer and Fall are awesome as far as the lake is concerned. We didn't get to canoe or fish as it was too cold but the access to both, right through the woods and down the path, is excellent. Saw lots of nature ( 25+ deer the day we were leaving), many different birds, an otter, and heard the peeping frogs as well...something we miss in Florida.We hiked in the rain most days, and watched lots of movies most nights. Built a fire in the fireplace 3 nights but never did build one in the firepit due to the rain. Looked like a great spot for s'mores. Cottage is well equipped, cozy, just really perfect. We had everything we needed to cook a big Easter dinner. Another day we purchased fresh oysters in Oakland and feasted on those as well as great shrimp from the Arrow market in Deep Creek right down the road on Rte 219. Everything was very convenient. My husband and his brother golfed at Thousand Acres and Alpine Lake and mostly had the courses to themselves. All in all.........very, very nice.

Cozy and clean getaway

This cabin was everything we needed it to be. It was far from the city (DC for us), and yet it wasn't old and musty like one's worst nightmares (and perhaps some experiences) might make us fear. For just my wife and I, we found this place to be very well cleaned, simple, but with everything we needed. This included cooking supplies, extra blankets, wood (though uncovered and outside which needed some drying-out), and windows enough in the large room that it felt spacious. We had a couple of things we needed to ask the owner about, and she was imminently reachable. The walk down to the lake (frozen while we were there) is a beautiful short walk to a beautiful location. It's about 15 minutes to the nearest town and grocery store, which had everything we needed (and even some extra things we wanted!). We are hoping ot go back, perhaps with another couple of friends this time.

Immaculate well-laid out cabin in a beautiful woodsy setting. Joy!

Our pack is two adults, an 8 year old, and two dogs. We went to Maine Retreat for a getaway and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Very nice trail through the woods to an opening by the water, great cookout locale just behind the house, and a very cozy, attractive lay out inside. The house was stocked with everything we needed. We enjoyed communing with nature and drives in and around Deep Creek. Hosts could not have been more helpful. Thank you, hope to be back soon!

Perfect DCL Experience!

We had a great time at the cabin. Our toddler loved playing with all the yard games (cornhole, cricket, badminton, and more!) and our dog enjoyed exploring in the woods and lounging in the shady yard. It was short walk to down to the cove where we could fish and the dog could swim. We also enjoyed taking the canoe out. The cabin provided a perfect amount of quiet and solitude while still being close to all the activity of Deep Creek Lake. Great dining options are just a few minutes away. We rented a boat for the day from Bill's Marine and that was just about a 15 minute drive. The house itself was very clean and spacious. Beds were comfortable. The fire pit and firewood were a nice touch. Our only complaint was that toilet paper and paper towels were not provided so we had to make a trip to the store for those. We had a small problem when we were not able to find the canoe at the location described to us in the manual from the owners. We called the owners and they were very responsive (on a Saturday) and got the property management company to handle the issue right away. (It turns out the property management company had put the canoe in a different location without the owners' knowledge.) We were very impressed with how quickly the owners resolved the problem. We had a great experience and would return!

Glad you enjoyed the space and took advantage of the games, the yard, the trail, and the cove. Sorry about the toilet paper! I'm not sure how that was overlooked. The rest of your stay sounds like it was just superb. Please come back again!

A relaxing family retreat!

We spent a relaxing week at the Maine Retreat with our 2 kids and big dog. We loved having the yard and the woods to walk through. Walking down to the lake was a daily tradition, and we saw a beaver a couple of times. We also enjoyed the canoe - very peaceful. We really enjoyed the recommendations listed in the binder in the house, especially the Fireside Deli. I unfortunately had to work one day, and the internet access was great. So, all in all, if you need some time away (but might not get it), the Maine Retreat is a great place to go!

The "Marraige" Retreat

After a busy wedding weekend, the Maine Retreat offered a relaxed environment to unwind and enjoy all that the Deep Creek area has to offer. Greg and Pia were extremely accomodating throughout the reservation process and happily answered a million of my questions prior to our visit. The description of the property is accurate. The Lake access is a short walk away and the house is tidy, well kept and has been updated nicely. The large front porch has very comfortable seating and was a great place to sit and have coffee in the morning while the fireplace in the living area served as a great ammenity during the colder evening hours. All in all, my wife and I enjoyed our stay greatly and will likely be coming back again!

Simply perfect

My fiancée and I stayed at the cabin during a skiing trip to Wisp. The cabin was the perfect place to stay. It was very comfortable and very peaceful. The location was private enough where we felt we were away from it all, yet gave easy access to Wisp, grocery stores, and shopping. With all the outdoor activities in the area during the summer, we're hoping to go back very soon to spend some time on the lake and do some hiking. Thank you Pia and Greg for a much appreciated and enjoyed weekend at your cabin!

Great value and location!!

Secluded yet within a 10 minute drive to big box stores, "mom and pop shops" and restaurants. We arrived just in time for a beautiful "white christmas" The cabin is very well maintained and clean. We had a couple of minor issues upon check-in but the management company took care of it pretty quickly--- especially considering it was the sunday before christmas. We loved walking the trails behind the cabin with our dogs down to the lake. The only minor negative comment I can think of is ,that while the cabin is advertised as having internet--- you have to use an older pentium based laptop that is provided onsite-- it seemed to take a long time to view emails and web pages.. I think it would be very advantagious to just provide wireless internet with an access code for renters that would bring their own laptops. Other than that --our 1 week stay was very relaxing and a memorable family vacation! We are already thinking about possibly booking a week in the summer to take advantage of the activities around beautiful Deep Creek Lake !! Thanks-- Pia and Greg for opening up "The Maine Retreat" to us for the holidays!!
Response from VrboOwner on 31 July 2021
I'm glad to hear you had a great time taking advantage of our unique property. However, I'm sorry to discover you struggled figuring out the Wi-Fi. We offer both Wi-Fi and a laptop, but you don't have to use them together. The laptop is a back-up for those who leave their own devices at home. If you ever return, please do not hesitate to call about any disappointments during your stay. Our Wi-Fi was professionally installed, so our computer technician is often available to talk guests through technical issues or even make house calls, if there were a problem. We hope to host you again and give you the 5-star stay you deserve!

Great getaway

All in all this place was amazing. The only complaint I have is that the week I went it was very hot and the place has no air conditioning. Six of us went, loved being secluded but not far from of a drive to everything. Also the walk to the lake was nice also. Will definitely go again, my kids had a great time too.
Response from VrboOwner on 31 July 2021
We're so glad you and your family enjoyed your stay! Happy to hear you liked our home's privacy and took advantage of our little walking trail to the water. We often hear people find themselves walking more than they expect because of the convenience of the private trail. Unfortunately, you had an unseasonably warm week...Most summer days in DCL are mild and comfortable, which is why many homes in DCL don't have a/c. With that said, we want guests to be satisfied with all aspects of the home, so we are purchasing a/c for summer 2014 to better accommodate the range of guest preferences and cool the home on the peak heat days of July. Hopefully, when you return next summer, you'll like the change!

Very nice house, lots of fun playing in the snow!

Very nice place to stay. The property management was very helpful and friendly. We ran into a few issues with the amount of snow (hardly anyone's fault!), and it would have been nice to have a shovel, but the property manager arranged for the drive and road to be plowed a couple of times, which was extremely helpful and relieving. It was a lot of fun to have the sleds available, and all the basics were well met. Thank you very much, Pia and Greg!
Response from VrboOwner on 31 July 2021
Glad you enjoyed your mid-March winter wonderland! Snow is one of the many reasons we love having 24/7 property maintenance help us out-- when you don't have a shovel, they bring over a plow and they come with a smile! For next year, we'll have more sleds and a shovel, for which ever snow activity you choose. Hope to host you again!
