Easter getaway
The cabin was perfect for my little family! I brought my 2 kids 11/12 here for an Easter getaway and we absolutely loved it!! Will definitely be coming back up before school starts up in the fall! The whole area is stunning and the setting for the cabin is very safe for bike riding and evening walks. This was my first time using vrbo but Michelle explained it all step for step and was very kind and easy to work with! Great hosts very accommodating!!

Misleading pictures
Living room furniture very uncomfortable and worn. Mold on outside deck. Cobwebs, dirty floors (Doritos under sofa), ladder climb impossible for anyone over 30, unsafe, very steep. Not handicap accessible, bathroom door not wide enough for walker. Owner was very belligerent. Didn't want to hear my assessment. She would stay there.

Snowed in at the cutest cabin ever!
We stayed at the Love Shack a few weeks ago during a winter weather advisory. We didn’t think it would impact our plans to visit different hot spots in deep creek because deep creek always get snow! Well, it was a lot of snow and winds so it just mad sense to hunker down especially since we had our two young daughters with us. The cabin was cute, clean, cozy, just PERFECT!!! We had a fire going throughout the weekend which just created such an ambience. We packed plenty of food and just kept cooking and baking. Our girls just loved relaxing and playing in the snow! The hot tub was wonderful! It was a perfect retreat for our very busy family. We needed this weekend so bad!

About the host

Hosted by Michelle and Paul Baumgartner

Host profile image
Our family purchased The Love Shack, our second cozy and quaint cabin in the woods of the gorgeous Yellowstone Village, to continue our love for Deep Creek Lake and all it has to offer for year round fun and relaxation. We hope you will have as many cherished memories as we have had coming to this little slice of heaven. We look forward to weekends away from all the hustle and bustle of Northern Virginia, so we can focus on each other and not technology or constant commitments/activities.

Why they chose this property

We have personally created the atmosphere at Love Shack to establish a retreat for couples or small families to reconnect. The reason we love this space so much is because it is cozy and we can truly be together and not off in our own rooms playing on devices. It has reinvigorated our family and has put our priorities back on track, knowing now that you don't need much stuff in life to be truly happy. This is our happy place, and we truly hope it will become yours as well. We are committed to making your stay as nice and relaxing as possible.

What makes this property unique

The location of Love Shack can't be beat. It is located directly next door to another property of ours that we purchased in 2016, the Nirvana cabin. We have loved hosting couples, friends, and families so much at Nirvana so much, we looked long and hard to replicate that experience. The Love Shack is equally as cozy and romantic. Additionally, you could rent both Love Shack and the next door Nirvana cabin for accommodating a larger group. It is so conveniently located between the State Park, restaurants, Cinema, bars, marinas, and a very short drive to Wisp Resort. We hope you love it as much as we do!
