About this property

Chasing Dreams | Lake Access, Hot Tub, Fire Pit

Tucked away in the Sky Valley Community, Chasing Dreams is charming cottage where you can create lasting memories as you enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

The open floorplan and wall of windows give the main level living areas a bright and cheerful feel while the stone fireplace creates a warm and inviting atmosphere (not available in summer). You will love getting cozy on the couch by the light of a crackling fire.

Unwind in the den where you can watch your favorite show or the big game for a leisurely evening at home. This room doubles as a sleeping space with a double futon.

Whip up homestyle meals in the well-equipped kitchen that is outfitted with stainless steel appliances, granite counters and lots of cabinet space. There is plenty of seating for everyone at the breakfast bar and dining table, so it is easy to share meals and linger long after the dishes have been cleared.

After a fun day of skiing or snow tubing, you can count on getting a good night's sleep in the main level bedroom with a king and a TV. A second bedroom with a queen is equally as comfortable when you want to catch up on your rest. There are two full bathrooms on this level for your convenience.

Upstairs, a bedroom with a queen, a daybed and a TV gives you a private retreat when you need a little quiet time. It is decorated with your comfort in mind so that you can close your eyes and dream of Deep Creek adventures.

The wooded yard has room to roam, so the kids and your dog will love it! You can kick-back on the deck and fire up the grill for an afternoon barbecue while they run and play. Sunset is the perfect time to gather around the fire pit for s'mores and stories about past trips to the lake. When the stars come out, take a dip in the bubbling outdoor hot tub (not available for use during quiet hours between 11PM and 8AM) that will leave you instantly relaxed.

Sky Valley is a popular spot because of the numerous amenities that it offers. You can swim at the sandy beach, shoot a game of hoops, fish at the pond or take the kids to the playground. Long walks on community roads are even better in the fall when you can check out the beautifully colored leaves.

Venture out to discover the many attractions and activities that draw guests back to Deep Creek year-after-year. The neighboring Thousand Acres community has a stunning 9-hole golf course, so bring your clubs! A fifteen-minute drive will take you to restaurants, shops, marinas and much more. Be sure to make a stop at Deep Creek Lake State Park where you can swim, hike, kayak or tour the Discover Center.

Drive a few minutes further to reach Wisp Resort's four season's of adventures! From skiing and snow tubing to mountain biking and ziplining, there are endless options to keep all ages entertained. Atop the mountain, white water thrills await at the Adventure Sports Center International.

Ideal for couples or a small family, Chasing Dreams offers a classic Deep Creek vacation experience that you will treasure always.

For your convenience, this home offers free wifi.

If your rental is listed as having a Boat Dock as an amenity provided with this property, this is subject to weather conditions, water levels, and other natural factors.

Cute, cozy cabin

This is a great place to stay in the Deep Creek area. The house itself is cozy and neat with more than enough room for our family of four and our dog. Could easily accommodate 6 without feeling crowded. Plus, all the amenities we needed, especially the hot tub and firepit. Check-in and checkout process was clear and simple with a manual onsite with instructions for dealing with problems and getting around the area. The only hiccup we ran into was a quirky wi-fi when we first arrived. Still, we were quickly able to get a tech on the phone quickly who immediately solved the problem...from call to solution was approximately 10 minutes. I include this to highlight how responsive the host is. Would definitely book again. thx

Tranquility in the woods

My wife and I wanted to escape a hectic year and enjoy a peqceful Christmas. We found just what we wanted in this home. From the tasteful, charming decor, to the modern conveniences, the home was the right choice. The seasonal touches with the rafter lights added to the Christmas ambience, and the fireplace made it so cozy.

Perfect Weekend Away!

Check in was very straightforward and we were pleased to see that all amenities listed were available. The location was ideal, we were never more than a 15 minute drive from our destination and thuroughly enjoyed the wrap around deck.

Set up for everything but property is aging

The kids loved the house and the upstairs bedroom. I hit my head on a beam in that bedroom and stayed out of the room after that. It really needs to be identified as a child’s bedroom. The hot tub technician was there when we arrived and said it was broken and someone would come around at 9 the next day to check it out. When that person failed to show I called in a service order and heard nothing back. Nothing. 5 day stay. The bathroom floor between the bedrooms needs to be replaced as it harbors a urine smell regardless of how well you clean it. That detracted from the visit quite a lot. Nice setting and extra amenities such as the swing .

Labels everywhere

This is our third time renting at deep creek but the first time staying at a place that Taylor made managed. When we got there the code didn’t work which was annoying but their after hours emergency line was able to get us in with a new code. The rental was a little bit dated compared to the pics but over all a nice place, but the labels and rules!!! Literally everything had a label. Like no joke the parsley flakes in the cupboard had a ‘property of’ label. There were so many little rules like don’t move the deck furniture or don’t use this firewood use this pile etc that the overall feeling was very unwelcoming. There was one roll of tp for 2 bathrooms, no soap in second bathroom, no paper towels. . . When we left the instructions were to load and run the dishwasher and hand clean anything left over but there was no dishwashing detergent and no sponges to clean with so we weren’t able too. Overall the house was fine for our needs but we won’t be staying there again and will probably try to avoid a Taylor made managed property in the future.

Weekend Away

Stayed here with my family while we were visiting others at Deep Creek and it was very convenient to their place in Swanton. The house is very well stocked and comfortable for the 4 of us. I would stay there again!! Next time I will rent directly through Taylor Made Deep Creek Vacations and save myself money instead of going through VRBO.

Stayed here with family over Christmas holiday. With severe winds and negative temps we lost electricity for 30min. On call staff was responsive, had an emergency plan, and checked in with us. Space as described, comfy beds, great showers, and nice hot tub.

Mould

Mould in bathrooms and hot tub! Says lake access could find the dock that they say it has. Neighbor harassing us because of smoldering fire that we put out with a bucket of water and after it rained. To many rules. We will never stay here again.

Trip

Nice property, clean and location was excellent. Kids enjoyed it. complaints: check in was not until 5 PM and check out was 9am. Would’ve been nicer considering the price to have some more time built in. If this was done for COVID19 purposes (Give time for cleaning?), maybe the fees should’ve been dropped some. We are responsible for removing linens, which isn’t a big deal, but perhaps fees could’ve been reduced to compensate for pandemic related stuff the customer is now supposed to do. I might be inclined to stay at a hotel next time where they do this for you. Other than that, real nice property.

Great House In a Great Place

The house was absolutely perfect for us. The outside space was relaxing and the inside of the house was roomy and very comfortable. We had asked the property owner several questions and received answers very promptly. We had no issues at all, the check in and check out procedures were seamless. I’d definitely rent this house again!

Super cute, remote yet convenient

The house is adorable with a great mix of convenience and charm. The twinkle lights in the main area are a huge selling point! We didn't use the hot tub but enjoyed our time on the deck and in the main living area so much - tons of great seating, a beautiful gas fireplace that's easy to operate, and individual AC units in two of the bedrooms. Great experience!
