About this property

Cozy Lakefront Cabin with Stunning Views!

This recently updated 1960’s bungalow was one of the original properties on Harvey's Peninsula Rd, owned by the Harvey sisters. It's stone and wood charm combined with lake views and the wooded setting are the perfect ingredients for a mountain lake getaway! It's 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and full size pull out couch, which have all been recently updated, will sleep 9 people easily. The large kitchen, which has been recently remodeled opens into the great room and overlooks the deck and Deep Creek Lake. There's not a better place to start your mornings! During the warmer months, all doors and windows are fitted with screens to be able to enjoy that crisp mountain air, as there is no A/C. Some of the house's features include; all new luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, wood burning stove, baseboard heat, full stainless appliances, ceiling fans in each room, Smart TVs in each bedroom with included NETFLIX capable of being used on all 4 tv's at once (There is no cable TV!) fast Wifi, fully equipped kitchen for all your cooking desires- including a Keurig, regular coffee pot, blender, toaster, propane grill, large newly re modeled composite deck with safety railing, plenty tables and chairs, fire pit with chairs, spacious parking area, walkway with steps that lead to our large dock and reclining chairs. We do accept a maximum of (2) dogs, and ask that you are diligent about cleaning up after them. There is a non refundable pet fee, as we have had irresponsible
pet owners in the past. We do not allow any pets other then dogs! There are also 2 boats docked/parked at the house and they are not to be uncovered or tampered with as they are for our personal use only, we do not rent them out. However there is 2 kayaks available to use, with access weather the dock is in or not. Dock is only guaranteed to be in in June 1- October 1, however dates do fluctuate (Normally is in beginning of May and out the end of Oct.)
Conveniently located to all that Deep Creek has to offer yet, far enough from the hustle and bustle to really feel like you can escape it all. We are 9 miles from Wisp Ski Resort and about 4 miles from several popular restaurants, grocery stores, movie theaters, and other attractions.

Amazing property

House has a beautiful view of the lake, fireplace for cold nights, great amenities, it looks newly renovated and is very well maintained, and it’s about 10 minutes from basically anything you want.

A perfect lake getaway

This is a delightful lake house, built in the 60s that was recently remodeled and updated, while leaving some of the charm of 60s remaining in the trimwork.The house is clean and well furnished. The kitchen has most everything you need for cooking. There is a nice deck and a fire ring near the lake. The beds are comfy.We enjoyed the wood stove over our Christmas getaway that did a good job keeping the house warm anlong with the radiators. There were plenty of games and things to do in the house and around the lake. The road running by the house is quiet and secluded. There are a couple of other cabins that share the driveway, but all is quiet under the majestic trees that fill the properties. Matt was very responsive with his communications and with making sure we enjoyed our stay. We are contemplating retiring in the summer for another stay here.

arrival info wasn't made clear about door lock code

beautiful environment, exceptionally quiet since most boats are stored for winter. Very Peaceful if that's what you want. Many businesses are closed in October since this is off season. Groceries and gas and some gifts are available in McHenry.

Beautiful waterfront home for fall getaway

My husband and I can't say enough great things about our stay at this property for a long fall weekend getaway. The inside was comfortable, welcoming, and immaculately clean. It has been well taken care of and the upgrades and decor are a wonderful touch. The outside view of the lake is nothing short of stunning. We were lucky that the dock was still out so we were able to spend hours fishing and relaxing by the water. The owners have done an excellent job making this a great stay for any guest!

Lovely Home

We enjoyed out family stay at Matt's house. The home was clean, kitchen well stocked, nice linens. We chose this house due to the semi-flat walk to the firepit for my elderly parents, this is a rarity in Deep Creek and were lucky to find it. It being dog friendly was icing on the cake!! We used the kayaks provided, fished from the pier, played cards, and had a blast! Location was perfect! Would definitely return! Only mention for improvement would be to fix the dining room table, very wobbly, not friendly for the elderly. Also, the TV in the master did not work, the TV in the living room was super slow to respond for streaming on all platforms. This did not effect our fun so again, only mention for future guests. Last mention is the dog fee, when I first requested to stay the clear mention of two dogs and description was given, When the access instructions were provided, dogs were not shown, then an additional charge was applied and paid. This should have been included in the initial agreement.

Heavenly Hemlock Haven

Great location, nice stone cabin in the woods! Beautiful area, easy to get to. Plenty of parking, easy access into house for unloading/loading, vaulted ceiling in living room, lots of natural light, fully-stocked kitchen (could use more storage), ceiling fans (you WILL need them - plus your own fans - when temps get in mid-80's and up! We were there when 90°+ and were miserable at night, trying to sleep), wonderful deck off living room (favorite place to sip a cup of coffee!), plenty of outdoor seating, nice lighted walkway to firepit with Adirondack chairs, stone steps (too tall and need handrails!) to dock, dock is sturdy and has a ladder. Nice steps into water. Biggest complaint is the lack of adequate whole-house fan to cool the house off since no a/c and half of the screens were not in the windows. Would stay again, just in cooler months!

July 4th 2024

We really enjoyed our short stay July 4-6. The house was great and the location was perfect. A couple issues we had were the Wifi worked sporadically at best and there is no air conditioning. I reread the listing after realizing there was no A/C and did notice that under “Comfort” it only listed “Heat”. That’s an error on my part but my wife and I both agreed it would not deter us from renting the property again. Overall it’s a great house and would recommend it to anyone.

Wonderful Autumn Getaway

This was a perfect place to gather with our daughter and her family. With a 4 year old and two month old, we stayed at the house a lot. The weather was quite rainy and chilly so we were grateful for a clean, comfortable cabin with a beautiful view of the lake. We enjoyed a camp fire one evening and enjoyed exploring the yard. The peaceful setting was an easy drive to restaurants and state parks. Everything we needed was available and the beds were very comfortable. The large open room was perfect for toys and playing. We appreciated Matt’s availability when we had one question. We’d love to return again in the future.

Nice but could of been cleaner/no air

The floors and counters were clean but otherwise everything could use a deep scrub. Windows were filthy. For how much you pay, i expected it to be much cleaner. Only gave us one roll of toilet paper in each bathroom which is unacceptable. We stayed in late august, luckily it wasnt any hotter or it would of been terrible. Very warm even with 70 degree days.

The Nesbitt Stay

Only two negatives from an otherwise perfect stay: 1) there were no life jackets in the hall closet for the kayaks...we looked everywhere; and 2) the closure of Glendale Road with the long detour around was a surprise and it would have been helpful to know in advance of arrival. Thank you for a lovely stay at Hemlock Haven.

Relaxing Week At The Lake

We had a relaxing time with our family during 4th of July week. The house met all of our needs and it was nice to have our fur-babies along. I did miss that the house didn't have AC despite it being in the listing..but it really wan't a problem because there are ceiling fans in every room, trees providing shade and cool breezes from the Lake. Matt was super responsive to any questions that we had. We would definitely rent again!

Why they chose this property

If you love older charm nestled in the woods, but the ability to sit by the water and relax in the sun, this is the place for you!
