About this property

Welcome to Fern Hill Cabin with a spacious living room, kitchen, a cozy loft with a queen bed and futon and private bedroom with a queen bed. On the first floor there's a full bath and on the second floor a 1/2 bath. You'll love spending time on the screened porch or just relaxing around the campfire. A short drive will get you to all the great spots the Deep Creek area has to offer. Please be advised a 4-wheel or all-wheel drive vehicle is needed for the winter months. My recommendation is from Nov. 1 to Apr. 15. Roads are plowed but the area can receive several inches of snow at any one time. Please be advised we provide no towels or linens for beds. Please bring your towels, sheets and pillowcases for queen beds (king size sheets would also work).

Weekend getaway

The cabin was exactly what we hoped it would be. It was cozy and quiet, yet centrally located for our weekend trip. Susan was responsive and helpful any time we had questions. We’re definitely planning to return. Thanks for everything, Susan!

Pleasant and comfortable getaway spot with great hosts

My brother, sister, and I came here for a sibling getaway and were very pleased with the experience. The hosts communicated well and were accessible throughout—the house rules were minimal and common sense. Check-in was simple, and we were grateful to be allowed in a couple hours early! The cabin itself is homey, clean, and well-stocked. Couches, beds, and outdoor seating were all very comfortable. Good kitchen space. There are a few other cabins in the area, and because it was early spring when we came, there wasn't much foliage to hide them from view. However, the neighbors were quiet and we enjoyed sitting outside and enjoying the fire pit and scenery. All in all, a great experience, and we hope to come back again soon!

Highly recommend!

Wonderful place to relax and unplug! Cabin was very clean, modern and well stocked. Beds comfy. Kitchen had everything we needed. Shower had great pressure. Stayed very warm even with it being negative temps outside. Enjoyed the little fireplace heater in the living room. Loved sitting in the loft on the rocking chair watching out the big windows as the snow fell. Enjoyed watching the birds at the feeders. Very quiet area, nice little hike in the woods. Owner was wonderful at communicating and gave us great advice about the area. It snowed about 18 inches while we were there, they were great about plowing the driveway. The screened porch would be a wonderful place to enjoy in warmer weather. Enjoyed winter hiking at Swallow Falls State Park and XC skiing at Herrington Manor State Park. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Susan and John Forish

We started with our first cabin called Boulder Ridge Cabin and have meant such great people who loved the cabin we decided to purchase another one and make it as appealing as the first. We're interested in providing a comfortable atmosphere at a reasonable price.

Why they chose this property

We love the setting of this cabin.

What makes this property unique

You can travel around the area and enjoy all Garrett Co has to offer or just relax at the cabin with a camp fire, on the porch or inside the cabin relaxing with a good book or movie. A short trail will lead you to a bench where you can sit and relax surrounded by the solitude of the woods.
