About this property

Brookie Cottage on Savage River, Fly Fishing, Hiking, Biking, relaxing getaway

The Brookie Cottage is a 2 bedroom fully equipped home in a beautiful setting on the Savage River near Deep Creek Lake, Maryland. The Savage is a cold water mountain stream that is ranked by Trout Unlimited as one of the top 100 streams in the country for Fly Fishing for wild trout. You will have access to 1000 feet of beautiful river front in an old forest setting and Savage River Outfitters next door is a full service Fly Shop with guide services and discounted rates for Orvis clothing and Fly Fishing gear. Hiking and biking are right out the front door, with mountain and river trails. Other rivers, such as the North Branch of the Potomac, the Casselman and the Yock are nearby, as well as some of the best wild Brook Trout streams in the country. Kayak or canoe on Savage River Lake/Reservoir just a few minutes away, or visit Deep Creek Lake 12 miles away. If you are looking for a getaway without all of the congestion and noise of Deep Creek Lake, take a look at the Savage River and all it has to offer. There is plenty of green, grassy space out back along the river to relax, explore, play and fish.

We did not come for fishing, but for hiking at the various state parks. The Brookie cottage being located right off of the Savage river was a big attraction for us, and it was wonderful. We spent four great days in the area exploring the many hikes, the lakes, and enjoying bonfires at nighttime. We would love to come back. By the owner's suggestion we went to a family restaurant called Duckies' Bar and Grill, just ten minutes away, and had just about the best burger ever.

Nice cabin

Nice little cabin near the river. Came to fish but unfortunately Mother Nature had other plans shortly before our stay, river was blown out but would love to try again and come back. Had some minor signal for light use

Amazing cabin getaway

We don’t fish but this cabin was wonderful. The backyard right against the river is so peaceful and beautiful. Close to a lovely trail through the woods along the river. Close enough to Deep Creek lake and all the activities there. We loved it would definitely stay again. Mike was awesome!

Beautiful cabin

Perfect size for family of 4. All the luxuries of home in a beautiful wooded setting. Great place to escape the heat of summer. Host Mike could not have been nicer. Note that this stretch of the Savage River is protected and is fly fishing only.

The cabin was great. The river was beautiful. The fly shot was nice. The people were friendly and helpful about where to fish. Unfortunately we didn't have any luck. It was our first time trying to fly fish. I highly recommend the cabins to anyone. My wife and I are already planning our next trip in the late spring of 2026. Can't wait to get back on the river and stay at the cabin again. Thank you Mike and Charlie for a great Anniversary.

Great get away

Stayed for 3 nights and it was a perfect little cabin. Very shady and cool so if you tend to be a cold person be sure to bring sweatshirts and pants. About 30 minutes away from Deep Creek lake. Property is exactly as described. No issues at all with our stay.

Would stay again

House was great for our needs. Not many places you fish have a fly shop on property. Gave some great recommendations for day trips to see different water in the area. Would stay here again. Didn’t have cell service (which is my preference) - but just stating for others (Verizon) that would want to know.

Convenient Plus

If you are a fly fisherman, you can’t beat this location. The beautiful Savage River is steps away from back door and the sound of the river passing by makes for easy sleeping. The place is nicely appointed with all the niceties of good fishing camp.

Cabin trip

Stayed in very nice 2 bedroom cabin, has pretty much everything you need. River about 20 yards from back porch, ate breakfast on back porch every morning we were there. Very quiet and peaceful if that`s what you are looking for. Looks to be about 6 cabins there but when we were there late August, no one appeared to be renting the others. Grocery store about 20 minutes away in WV. No dishwasher or washer/dryer in our cabin, but we brought enough clothes and didn`t mind washing dishes by hand. Visited several parks around with waterfalls, Deep Creek lake. We did have wifi on our phones in the cabin. Overall really nice getaway weekend.

Quiet retreat

Picked this specifically because it is on the water and my son had fly fishing equipment to try out. 2 bedroom, small cabin was perfect size for us. Charlie at the Savage Outfitters was an excellent teacher. Due to the weather, we did end up driving to Deep Creek more than expected, which is 30 min away. Still a great accommodation and loved listening to the water right outside our patio door. Kitchen and bathroom had everything we needed as well.
