This place was great. Very clean, perfect settings in the woods, really felt like we were way out but was close to everything. Also provided wood for fires, only places I have stayed at in DC that did that. Great place, recommend for everyone. Gail is also a great person, goes above and beyond d beyond to help!!!
Very nice place! Lots of wildlife. Hot tub was a plus with my son. Close to lake & different fishing spots. Lots of restaurants & stores nearby. Would definitely stay here again.

Thank you Brandy for staying with us! I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to hosting you again!
We’ve stayed at 9 different properties in DCL over the years; this is one I would definitely recommend to friends and stay in again myself. Super clean, breezy check in and check out, great communication, and a perfect set up for our kids and their friends. The hot tub is great, and we appreciated the central location for McHenry and Oakland adventures.

Hi Charles, it was a pleasure hosting you! Thank you so much for the 5-star rating! We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with the community. We're delighted to know you had an excellent stay and look forward to welcoming you back at Three Acorns Cabin in the future!
The house was well appointed with everything you could need to comfortably stay for a week or more. The house had a lot of space, and an enormous hot tub and jacuzzi tub. The host was a frequent and timely communicator and provided recommendations for things to do and places to eat. Do yourself a favor and go to Deep Creek Donuts and Pawn Run. We were only visiting for a short weekend, so didn’t have time to try many of the recommendations, so we will be back. We had a quiet, relaxing stay and think a fall visit would be spectacular.

"Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Erin! It was an absolute pleasure hosting you, and we’re thrilled you enjoyed the space. I love your recommendations too! We’d welcome you back anytime!
We spend 4 nights at this property and we were continually surprised at how well set up the entire property was. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could possible need, there were binders full of information about the property and the lake area in general. My husband and I were in the primary suite and the king sized bed was the most comfortable bed ive slept on in my life. I'd love to know what the brand/model is to get for my own home.The large dining table was great for not only meals, but also for playing board games. The wrap around porch was one of my favorite features. Sitting on the porch at night and listening to nature was very peaceful.There was a family of 3 deer that we saw around the property multiple times over the 4 nights. And on my first morning I was sitting on the cozy couch crocheting waiting for the rest of my group to wake up and I saw a black bear mosey past the window. That was pretty amazing. The hot tub is relaxing feature that we enjoyed multiple times. Thank you for creating a welcoming, peaceful and cozy space for those looking for a getaway.
