Tucked among towering trees, Knotty Pines offers you a classic mountain getaway with lots of opportunities to make lasting memories with your favorite people.
Tastefully decorated, the great room will be a popular place to gather whether you are curling up on the sectional sofa to watch TV or sitting around the gas fireplace sharing stories on a crisp fall night. Plus, central AC will keep you cool during the warm summer months.
The open layout is convenient for get-togethers and allows you to join the conversation when you are making homestyle meals in the well-equipped kitchen. Seating for two in the kitchen breakfast nook and six at the dining table insures everyone has a spot when it is time to eat. After the dishes are cleared, you can break out the board games for a fun evening in.
Catch up on your rest before tackling Deep Creek adventures in the primary suite that is outfitted with a queen bed, TV, DVD player and private bath with a shower stall.
The second bedroom has a queen bed and TV, and the third is furnished with bunkbeds (double over a double) and a twin with a trundle. Each is decorated with your comfort in mind so that you can awaken completely refreshed and ready to take on the day.
Great outdoor space is a high point that will delight everyone in your group! Two decks give you ample room to spread out and appreciate the sights and sounds of nature. Sip your coffee on the front deck for a leisurely start to your morning. Dine outdoors on the back deck when you fire up the grill for a barbecue after a day on the boat.
At dusk, grab the marshmallows and head to the outdoor fire pit that is built into the flagstone patio. This is a favorite Deep Creek pastime that is not to be missed. When the stars come out, it is time to take a dip in the bubbling outdoor hot tub that will soothe tired muscles after a day of swimming, hiking or skiing.
On-the-water fun awaits at your dock slip that is just a short drive from the house. Bring your own boat or rent one locally so that you can cruise the lake with stops to swim, fish or soak up the sunshine.
Conveniently located, you are close to one of the area's most popular attractions - Swallow Falls State Park. That's where you will find miles of trails that lead you to three scenic waterfalls along the Youghiogheny River. A five to ten-minute drive will take you to restaurants, shops, the movie theater, mini golf, Deep Creek Lake State Park and Herrington Manor State Park.
When the snowflakes start to fall, you can hit the slopes at Wisp Resort or try snow tubing and ice skating. Be sure to take a thrilling ride on their mountain coaster too! Throughout the rest of the year, you can enjoy their canopy tours, two golf courses, mountain bike trails, scenic chairlift rides and much more. On top of the mountain, you will find the popular Adventure Sports Center International. Their re-circulating whitewater course is a must-do when you are in Deep Creek.
Reserve Knotty Pines for your next vacation and look forward to sharing memorable experiences with family and friends!

Knotty Pines was a great place for our family to stay. Rooms are big, couches are comfy and plenty of amenities in the kitchen. Close to the lake. The assigned boat slip & dock was a short walk from the cabin. The Only downfall was that the beds weren’t the comfiest. All in all, it was the perfect place!
We had a lovely time here. It was a great location, met all of our amenity needs, and had plenty of living spaces for the varied needs of our party.
The boat slip was wonderful and it easily held our rented pontoon boat. It is important to note that people with mobility issues would not be able to walk down the rocky path to the boat slip though.
We would definitely stay here again.
Perfect place for our collage age kids and our dog to vacation with us
We really enjoyed our 3 night stay. We didn’t have a boat so no need to be near the water. Knotty pines was very equipped with everything we needed. The outdoor fire pit and hot tub were a hit. My only complaint is the decks needed a good power wash because they were very slippery after all the rain we had. Otherwise , we definitely will book this rental again and refer our friends/family.

Thanks Christine and Happy 60th Birthday! Can't wait to see you again!
This property was absolutely perfect! The house was very spacious and the furniture was cozy. We were there to ski and celebrate my daughters 30th birthday. We enjoyed the extra large table for meals and games. The kitchen was well stocked with every amenity that you would need. The hot tub was clean and in perfect condition. The parking was the best of any rental I have been to in Deep Creek. The bathroom floors were even heated! Such a beautiful and private setting. I would recommend this property to anyone and will surly rebook it!
Overall was very pleased with the property. The kitchen was stocked well with appliances and cookware which helped a lot. It is very spacious and clean. Could use a little more attention to cleaning under beds, dressers, and couch. Found lots of chip bags and candy wrappers underneath. Hot tub and fire pit was nice. The chairs around the firepit were not very sturdy and actually had one collapse on us but was still able to enjoy the fire! Would definitely recommend and stay there again.

CAUTION - "Taylor-Made" Fell Short for VRBO
We were in the area for a wedding and booked through VRBO instead of a hotel for the extra room, privacy, and amenities. The check-in process for this property was cumbersome as there were extra emails, forms, and even contracts to sign in addition to a VRBO booking.
We arrived and had no problems getting into the property. We found it reasonably close to Oakland, MD where we found some good spots to eat - nice town.
We checked the hot tub and found that the temperature was a disappointing 87 degrees despite being set to 100 but we did not have time to mess with it as we quickly changed for the wedding. Knowing the hot tub takes time to warm back up after cleaning, etc. we planned to use it later. When we returned from the wedding, the hot tub was still 87 degrees. The following morning, I called the office and they apologized and said they'd send out a tech that day, which a note on the door while we were out indicated they did. The hot tub never reached above 93 degrees during our stay. We called before departing today and they pointed to their contract that says amenities such as pools and hot tubs are not guaranteed to work, and no concessions would be made.
Some of the beds were very firm but the place was otherwise cozy.
So, CAUTION on Taylor-Made properties as they may bait you in with amenities you'll pay extra for but point to a contract rather than make things right when they fail.
Good luck!
This property was amazing. Three full bedrooms and two baths were just enough space for my sisters and I. The dock was a little tricky to find at first but we loaded everything in to the car and parked for the day and went out on the boat. It was awesome we had a dock slip with the house.
Hot tub was great, very well equipped kitchen as well!
My only issue is a few maintenance things that we called management about weren’t addressed (ceiling fan didn’t work in one bedroom, garbage disposal didn’t work) and the mattresses were very old and hard to sleep on. The twin mattress makes quite a bit of noise for others sleeping in that room as well so just be prepared.
Would definitely stay here again!
The hot tub didn't work when we came the first night, they promptly had someone to fix it the next morning. The hot water didn't work either the second night but overall great time. Clean and great costumer service

Reviewer Comments:
The home we rented was very nice a big kitchen dinning room area & a nice living room. The cleaning needs to be more detailed prior to guess arrival. Some things did not appear to have been cleaned prior to our stay. Could not use dish drainer called property management to send someone to clean under the sink where it was stored. This was done the same day I requested it. When sweeping as requested by property management I found items under the couch, a lot of dog hair and the top to a flashlight. When vacuuming as requested by the property management I found the vacuum had not been emptied in a while, the vacuum was packed full, I had to clean it before using it. The shed for storage smelled terrible, we found there was garbage left in the shed in two cans that was slimy. My family took care of it by taking it to the bear proof container at the end of the drive. We called the office about the cans being at the end of the drive & they were to send someone to take care of them, but they remained at the end of the road. When checking in at the property management office we also spoke with someone about the garbage in the shed, she stated that we should not have access to to garage or shed. I explained that on the website when I rented it stated that their were two garages that could be used. The garage was locked but that storage shed attached to it was open. She stated that the cleaning personnel would not know about the garbage because they are normally locked. Cans never did get cleaned, we brought them back. There needs to be at least 2 wash clothes per person for the stay we washed them every day. There were two homes in front of the home this information is not on website. The neighbor did not lease their dog kept coming over upsetting our dog. Light around the porch need repaired & porches need to be better maintained. The fire pit and the hot tub were both very enjoyable. All in all we enjoyed our stay with items needing to be addressed for future clients.
