Wonderful Host and Wonderful Stay

We had an amazing trip at this home. For starters, Rita was the most incredible host- unbelievably responsive and attentive. The home is great- comfortable, clean, spacious and well stocked. Large bedrooms and bathrooms. meals on the deck. We loved the hot tub. The kitchen has everything!!! It's at the end of a quiet cul de sac with a beautiful creek right by the house. There are basketball hoops on the street that the kids loved- weren't any cars. The home is very close to nearby attractions and shopping. We went axe throwing one day when it rained. The shared dock was basically private, as no one else was there, and it's on a quiet cove on the lake. Perfect for swimming and kayaking, and the kids loved it. You need to walk past 3 homes to get to the dock- a charming 3 minute walk. Overall this place is fantastic. book it!!

Our home away from home

this is our 5th year staying at this property and we absolutely love it! Rita is great and so responsive. The house is beautiful and well maintained. The path through the woods to the lake with the little cove for our kids to tube and swim in is perfect and away from the craziness of all of the boats. We will continue to come here, it is our favorite vacation!

Perfect lake stay

We had a great time at Deep Creek Lake. The house location was perfect - the cove was calm and great for swimming, and we made good use of the dock slip by bringing our boat. Was easy to get to McHenry and associated kids activities. Would absolutely stay there again!

Perfect Vacation

Rita was prompt, professional, and friendly. The house was very well stocked, maintained, and comfortable. The surroundings were amazing - sitting on the deck amongst the trees, with a small view of the lake - was perfect for relaxing. The cove was fantastic for the kids to swim. Being at the end of a long road offered quiet and seclusion. All in all we had an amazing vacation, which very much had to do with this rental and the owner.

Amazing getaway!

This house was much larger than the photos show, but everything else was amazing. We loved how the pool room was on the same level as the rest of the house. The hot tub was great and there was plenty of room for everyone. We'll definitely be back!

Wonderful stay!

Great spot to celebrate Christmas with scattered family members! Clean, comfortable home with great layout in a beautiful setting. Kitchen is well stocked and worked well to have a few of us cooking. We enjoyed games, walks to the lake and in the neighborhood. Great communication with the owner. We made great memories here!

Detach-Getaway!

Great house, spacious kitchen, good sized rooms and beautiful views! You can relax by the fireplace, or in the hot tub looking at the lake or shoot pool- whatever way you relax there is something for you! Host also communicates very well and is very accomedating.

Deep Creek Getaway

Second year in a row we have stayed at this beautiful property. Our children loved playing in the stream and swimming from the dock into the lake. The dock is on a wonderful inlet that has great boat access and is perfect for swimming, fishing and paddle boarding. House was immaculate and has a great kitchen and family area. Very quiet and serene, and we hope to continue to make our visit an annual tradition!

Home away from home

This was our 4th year staying here and we just love it! It’s the perfect spot for our kids as they can play in the creek and get into the lake as there is a little shallow part. It’s a beautiful well kept house and Rita makes sure you have everything you will need! The kitchen is so well stocked, it is easy for us to cook meals as we always have everything we need. Rita is so easy to communicate with and she is extremely responsive to any questions or requests. We will continue to vacation here as long as she will let us!!

Family vacation

Our time at Shadybrook was wonderful. When we arrived, the house was in immaculate condition, and simple items such as toilet paper, tissues, and trash bags were there! With 3 cooks the kitchen was a dream relative to other vacation houses we’ve stayed at. There was ample cookware, and a drawer of spices which we loved. The living area was conducive to family time, and the back deck was perfect. The walkway next to the house with the little stream was so soothing. The check-in was a breeze! We would highly recommend Shadybrook as a vacation home, and would consider staying here in the future.

Beautiful home with golf girls

A group of ladies came to play golf and see the colors of Fall at Deep Creek Lake and our stay at Shadybrook was amazing. The house is beautiful along with all the rooms and furnishings. There is plenty of room for families with children or adults with a large group!! The kitchen had anything you would need to cook with along with spices, coffee makers, abundance of dishes and glasses. Fully stocked!! The owner is wonderful and available to answer questions whenever needed. Can't say enough good things about this rental!! We will definately be back!!

Perfect Winter Getaway

This house is beautiful and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay during COVID. The owner was so responsive and caring, which made us feel safe staying there given COVID restrictions and a snowstorm. As we actually worked and went to school during this time, I have to mention that the WiFi was perfect! The house itself, with amazing views of woods and lake was comfortable and had everything we needed for family meals, and hanging out playing pool and in the hot tub. We were there during significant snow, so enjoyed hiking down to the lake, and just playing on the property. Wisp and grocery store are close yet we felt "away from it all." We so look forward to going back in other seasons!

Perfect.

This property feels beautifully private but is accessible to all the fun of the lake. Great layou for gathering, to accommodate noisy family members and anybody who wants a little bit of privacy too. The views are stunning. There are trails in walking distance. We look forward to staying in warmer weather, but have stayed here twice: once in snow, once for Thanksgiving. Beautiful. We chose this house because my mother has mobility issues. She was able to stay in the master bedroom, and be a part of everything, including the feel of being “in the woods.” Our young adult children enjoyed each other in the little party/ billiard room and the hot tub. Best hot tub set up: right off the laundry room and bathroom for an easy in-and-out in the crisp weather!

Relaxing weekend

We had a great time last weekend. The house was better than expected. Plenty of room for the 6 adults and 4 children in our group. If arriving in the evening, the house is a little bit hard to find. It's located on a culdesac and the house number is a bit hard to read at night. If you plan to do tubing, be sure to reserve your tickets about a month in advance. They limit the number of tubers due to COVID restrictions and the spots fill up fast. Not being able to tube was the only disappointment of the weekend.

Amazing Home!

We can't say enough good things about this home and the owner, Rita. She was so responsive to my questions and her home was welcoming at first sight. This was our first family vacation to deep creek and we plan to make it annual after this stay! Check in and out were smooth and we had no problems with the property. The kitchen was fully stocked which was so nice...we especially appreciated the spice drawer! We loved the layout of the home because we had plenty of space to spread out but also didn't feel too far away from each other. The view of the lake was amazing and we loved the privacy that the woods provided. There was a little creek that ran by the side of the house down to the lake and a beautiful easy path to get to the dock. Kids loved jumping off the dock and swimming and tubing and we also were able to keep kayaks there to use. We enjoyed the fire pit at night and sitting on the shaded deck each morning drinking our coffee. And the hot tub was also a plus! Everything about this house made it feel like home to us and we were very comfortable in every room! Lastly I want to say that the house was spotless, very well kept and nicely updated while still having that lake house feel (even got to see several bears!). Which was all much appreciated during these crazy times! Thank you so much for everything! We are already planning our trip back for next summer! Val

Disappointing Rental Agent

The property itself is very nice. It’s secluded and wildlife abounds. My wife and daughter saw a bear cross the driveway and my granddaughters and their parents saw a bear cub cross another driveway nearby. My issues involve the rental agent. After having returned a signed rental agreement and paying for the rental, I was asked to sign an amended rental agreement. As it would have been difficult getting all the necessary signatures, I said I would sign the agreement and get the rest of the signatures when we arrived. They agreed. A few days later I was told this was insufficient and when I pushed back, I was told that they wouldn’t give access to the property without the signed revised rental agreement. But for the fact that my grandchildren would have been very disappointed, I would have not signed and asked for my money back, as one party cannot alter a previously agreed upon contract. Additionally, several days into the rental I became aware that, at least, one of the cameras on the outside of the property was live and was being monitored. That made myself and the rest of my family very uncomfortable. I think potential renters should be made aware, up front, that cameras are live. I didn’t see any cameras inside the property, but I can’t be sure there weren’t any. For this reason, we left the property several days early.

Best Place on the Lake

We love returning to Shadybrook! Stores and activities are within reach but we love feeling "deep in the woods at the base of the mountain." The sunrise views, across the lake over the mountain, are breathtaking; looking out on the woods with the brook running to the lake is like being inside a woodland painting. The house itself is perfect for our family of six (and would certainly be good for more). There is space for everyone to have privacy, but wonderful gathering space as well. Shadybrook is responsive and cares. Everything you could possibly need is there and then some. Of note: we especially love this place as it allows for my elderly mom to enjoy the beauty of the woods even though she can't move around outdoors so easily. So much is available on one floor: master bedroom for her, kitchen, living and gathering spaces. Thank you for hosting!
