Access Lake from Cozy Seclusion- 3 Acres, Private Trail, Canoe - Sleeps 6-8

The Maine Retreat is a quiet oasis close to the action of Deep Creek Lake but far from everyday. Vacationers familiar with Maine getaways will absolutely love this setting-- A short trail walk through privately owned woods takes you from cozy, quiet seclusion to the beauty of Deep Creek Lake's shores.

Take a seat on the Covered Porch or take a stroll around the property-- 3 Acres of Private Woods, with a Trail to the Lake, are yours for savoring. Take the Canoe out and see if you can catch local bass, bluegill, perch, or walleye with the Fishing Rods, Tackle, Paddles and Lifevests we provide.

Within 10-15 min., you'll reach Deep Creek Lake activities, and when you return home, partying neighbors and bright street lights won't interrupt your view of the clear night sky, beautiful sounds of nature, or peaceful time alone with your loved ones.

The backyard firepit is sure to be a place where memories are made roasting hotdogs, making smores, and catching up with those who mean the most.



More Features of The Maine Retreat
The large front and back yard offer plenty of Kid-Friendly and Pet-Friendly space for outdoor games, such as horseshoe, badminton, volleyball, and cornhole. You'll find these and other fun items (frisbee, water guns, etc.) in our gaming closet. You'll enjoy hours of indoor family entertainment from the satellite TV, WiFi, and old school DVDs, Videos, CDs, and PlayStation2 on rainy mountain days. Bring your bikes, as the North Glade Hills community is a great place to ride. Kids can ride through the neighborhood while adults can enjoy the long country roads. Nearby Deep Creek State Park has hiking trails, boat launch, public beach with picnic areas and basketball courts, a science center, and tourist/info desk. We're a short drive to over half a dozen area other parks.

We provide a grill, firewood, outdoor games, snowshoes for cold stays, and a canoe with life vests for warm stays.

The Maine Retreat has 3 clean, equal-sized, comfortably furnished bedrooms and a sleeper sofa with amenities throughout to make it feel like home. The fully equipped kitchen, with drip coffee maker and toaster, has hosted anniversaries, Thanksgiving dinners, and more, but private chefs can be reserved to provide escape from the kitchen as well.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!
