Step inside the main level of this roomy chalet, and you will find an open concept layout that is perfect for enjoying the company of friends and family. Cathedral ceilings, hardwood floors, and a wall of windows give the space a bright and airy feel. Grab a seat in the great room by the glow of the fireplace to watch TV or make a plan for the day’s adventures. While this home does not have air conditioning, the ceiling fans and mountain air keep you comfortable during your stay.
Delight your crew with a home-cooked meal, a pleasure to prepare in the modern, fully equipped kitchen with updated stainless steel appliances, granite counters, and seating at the breakfast bar. Get together at the dining table for dinner, and break out the board games when the dishes are cleared.
There are two bedrooms on the main level that are decorated with a charming woodland theme. Each is furnished with a queen bed and TV. Don’t bother setting an alarm – you're on vacation after all!
For your comfort and peace, the primary suite with queen bed is located upstairs and includes air conditioning to ensure a sound night's rest on hotter than average days. You'll also have your own private bathroom with separate shower and jetted soaking tub.
Before you turn down for the night, the adjacent loft is the spot to cozy up on the chaise lounge with your cup of tea and one of the many books from the shelves.
Fun for everyone comes easy in Heart and Soul's family room! Play a competitive round of pool or foosball while others watch TV. A wood burning fireplace adds to the ambiance and keeps things cozy. The queen sleeper sofa gives you space for extra guests too. Right outside the sliding doors, you will find the bubbling hot tub ready and waiting to melt away your stress.
A bedroom with a king bed rounds out the sleeping quarters along with a full bath on the lower level.
Surrounded by towering trees, the spacious deck will be a highlight of your stay at Heart and Soul. Dine outdoors, host an afternoon happy hour, or stargaze at the end of the day. It’s truly a lovely place to savor the mountain serenity. You also have a covered patio on the lower level so that you can unwind in the shade.

The house was clean, tons of room, loved having a hot tub, pool table, and Foosball table. It's close to all the best Deep Creek attractions. Would definitely stay here again!

It was the perfect set up for our group of 10 - seven adults and three teens. Everyone had adequate space and each family had their own floor with bathroom.The management service was very responsive when I had difficulty unlocking the hot tub.Great location with easy access to WISP, Oakland, shops, and restaurants.

Thank you for sharing such thoughtful feedback about your stay. We are glad the home worked well for your group and that everyone had enough space. It is also good to hear our team could assist quickly and that the location suited your plans. We appreciate you choosing our property and hope to welcome you back in the future.
The house was exactly as pictured and a great location - close to everything. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. We really enjoyed our stay and our 10 year old is already asking to go back to the same house.
One of the most beautiful homes, with attention to every detail. We were blown away! It truly felt like a home a way from home and not a rental. You can tell the owners love and cherish every inch of the property. Truly phenomenal!

Thank you for your kind words! We are delighted to hear that you had such a wonderful experience at our rental property. We strive to make it a home away from home for all our guests and it's truly rewarding to hear that you felt that way. Your feedback is greatly appreciated!
Everything was just as described and as shown in the pictures. The property and area are beautiful. The home is beautiful. The hot tub didn’t work for us at all. We tried to use it and the water leaked out, jets sprayed everywhere! I did call and they had a repair tech out the next morning. We were told ok to use it, but it didn’t work properly, and we wanted to have our extended family over that night for a get together. So it was very disappointing. Otherwise week was great. We were offered some compensation for our inconvenience of the hot tub.

Thank you for sharing your experience and for the kind words about the home and area. We are very sorry for the issues with the hot tub, especially since you had planned a family gathering, and we understand how disappointing that must have been. We appreciate your patience while the repair was arranged and are glad we could offer some compensation for the inconvenience. Your feedback is very helpful, and we will continue working to prevent similar issues in the future.

Hi Patricia, Thanks for the review! I am happy to see that you had a five star experience at this beautiful home. Give us a call when you are ready to come back! Thanks again, Stacy
This property was amazing. We had plenty of room for our 2 and 4 legged children. The neighborhood was walkable as well as beautiful. We were perfectly situated in the middle of everything. We even had a peek a boo view of the lake. We will definitely be coming back!
Big clean place as advertised. There were numerous areas off limits but we respect that. The wildlife outside was amazing and plentiful! Had a great time and wouldn’t mind doing it again next year! Thank you for sharing!

Hello Teresa, We appreciate you taking the time to review your stay at this home. Please let us know when you are ready to come back and see us! Have a great day! Kristen
It was a really nice place. Nice size bedrooms. Nice bathrooms. Plenty of seating. Wish master had a king bed, but knew that before I went. Had plenty in the house to entertain ourselves. There was a weird smell in the house, not sure what it was, maybe a smoker?? My only suggestion would be to have more towels available. There was no extras for the hot tub. Overall would definitely come back and would recommend.
My business is all consuming. So, when I got my first Saturday off since April I jumped into action. We live
84 so it was under 2 hours. Took a deep breath when I saw how wonderful it was, and all were happy! Our last day I woke up early and went onto the deck and got in the Word. It was so peaceful and beautiful. Would stay here again and we are already trying to figure out a time! Thank you for your hospitality and sharing your home. Wanted to mention how it is decorated so thoughtfully and just perfect. Love the little town businesses in the upstairs bathroom of the town of deep creek!
We had a large group during our stay and it was a very clean and centrally located place! During the day we went skiing at Wisp and it was a great location for the trip. One slight we had was that the sofa couch that is listed as one of the sleeping spots was a little too small for an adult. I would consider it more for the size of a kid. However since we weren't sure, we brought an air mattress just in case so it was not an issue for us. Also, the checkout time listed in the house versus what is emailed were different. I let the property know but in case, just follow whatever the checkout time they send you in your confirmation email. The place also was very roomy and had an awesome game room that led out to the hot tub area. Property managers were very attentive to our questions and we could not have asked for a better stay. I recommend snow tires / four wheel drive though in the winter to get up the road for the house. **Also super cute deer appeared every morning you could see from the breakfast table which we enjoyed** 100% recommend!
The experience was amazing, the property is really nice and fits my life style. my wife and I will definitely be back. Considering looking for property to purchase
I do recommend to David and Mary to invest in new pool table que sticks and supplies.
Great home for seperate families. My husband and I and our dog had one floor, my parents had another floor, and my sister brother in law and nephew had rhe top loft floor, each floor equipped with its own full bathroom. The deck was great to BBQ and enjoy the sunshine. Loved that every TV had roku/streaming capabilities. The deck furniture and screen doors could have used some slight cleaning, they were filled with cobwebs.
Only thing I'd mention is there is no air conditioning unit on the bottom floor, or main level bedrooms, luckily it was pretty cool on the bottom floor, and we kept the loft and loft bedroom units on full blast to cool down the rest of the house.
The property also sits on a huge hill, so it's challenging to find a proper space to walk your dogs, there's really no flat land surrounding the property.
Overall a wonderful, welcoming unit with an awesome "woodsy/cabin" feel.
We had a amazing time. And would totally come back. Deep Creek Lake, Swallow Falls, Brendas Pizza and Coopers Rock State Park just out of town were Awesome! The lady that runs the Christmas store down the road is super sweet, very informative, and hands down amazing!

Thanks so much! I'm glad you had such a good time!
My wife and I enjoyed our stay at this beautiful house in the mountains. This home was clean and relaxing with all of the amenities needed for a long, enjoyable vacation. The local towns are quite nice, and there are plenty of outdoor activities. The surrounding areas are beautiful and picturesque. We would love to return to this home in the future!
We had such an amazing time! The home was beautiful and decorated for Christmas, which was a pleasant surprise! It was our first time in Deep Creek and we are already planning our next trip. It was cozy and beautiful and the perfect medicine during Covid and stress at work! Thank you!!! Cannot wait to go back!
We've used VRBO several times for rentals from Maine to the Outer Banks, and this house was absolutely the best. It didn't feel like a rental, the cleanliness and furnishings made us feel like we were staying at a friend's home. It is located in a spacious neighborhood with huge wooded lots. There was wildlife everywhere. I would recommend this home to anyone. My only complaint is that we didn't see any bears.
