This is a beautiful well maintained property. The owners have put a lot of thought into the amenities and had everything we needed for our long weekend. There is a lake view filtered through the trees and a nice deck and hot tub. The location was convenient to state parks, restaurants and the grocery store. Very comfortable beds and lots of seating. Highly recommend!

A perfect vacation spot for a group! We loved how quiet the neighborhood was, but still located close to stores, restaurants, etc. The house was spacious and had what we needed for cooking and hanging out, including a massive couch and a large kitchen. The host was very responsive when we had questions.One note on the dock/water - it's just a few minutes walk down to the water, but difficult for those with mobility issues because of steepness and tree roots. Having the dock was nice - we were able to rent kayaks and paddle them to/from the house for use during our stay.

Perfect lake stay

We had a great time at Deep Creek Lake. The house location was perfect - the cove was calm and great for swimming, and we made good use of the dock slip by bringing our boat. Was easy to get to McHenry and associated kids activities. Would absolutely stay there again!

Home away from home

This is our 6th summer staying at Rita's house and we just love it. It truly feels like our second home. She is very easy to work with and stays in touch to make sure we have everything we need. The house is really well stocked, in the kitchen which we love because we cook most nights. The view from the deck is so beautiful and the surrounding wooded area and creek make it feel very peaceful and private. Just a little path down to the lake and we spend most of the time in the water at the dock. We will continue to visit this home and would recommend it to everyone!

this is our 5th year staying at this property and we absolutely love it! Rita is great and so responsive. The house is beautiful and well maintained. The path through the woods to the lake with the little cove for our kids to tube and swim in is perfect and away from the craziness of all of the boats. We will continue to come here, it is our favorite vacation!

Deep Creek Getaway

Second year in a row we have stayed at this beautiful property. Our children loved playing in the stream and swimming from the dock into the lake. The dock is on a wonderful inlet that has great boat access and is perfect for swimming, fishing and paddle boarding. House was immaculate and has a great kitchen and family area. Very quiet and serene, and we hope to continue to make our visit an annual tradition!

Perfect Vacation

Rita was prompt, professional, and friendly. The house was very well stocked, maintained, and comfortable. The surroundings were amazing - sitting on the deck amongst the trees, with a small view of the lake - was perfect for relaxing. The cove was fantastic for the kids to swim. Being at the end of a long road offered quiet and seclusion. All in all we had an amazing vacation, which very much had to do with this rental and the owner.

Bryan thank you for your kind words and we are happy you and your family had a nice time during your stay. And we agree, we are happy to have one of the few lots on the lake that sits on a cove which really protects our guests from the main boat traffic which allows for a more secluded and safe experience when enjoying the water! You all were wonderful guests, please come back again!

This was our 4th year staying here and we just love it! It’s the perfect spot for our kids as they can play in the creek and get into the lake as there is a little shallow part. It’s a beautiful well kept house and Rita makes sure you have everything you will need! The kitchen is so well stocked, it is easy for us to cook meals as we always have everything we need. Rita is so easy to communicate with and she is extremely responsive to any questions or requests. We will continue to vacation here as long as she will let us!!

Family vacation

Our time at Shadybrook was wonderful. When we arrived, the house was in immaculate condition, and simple items such as toilet paper, tissues, and trash bags were there! With 3 cooks the kitchen was a dream relative to other vacation houses we’ve stayed at. There was ample cookware, and a drawer of spices which we loved. The living area was conducive to family time, and the back deck was perfect. The walkway next to the house with the little stream was so soothing. The check-in was a breeze! We would highly recommend Shadybrook as a vacation home, and would consider staying here in the future.

Wonderful Host and Wonderful Stay

We had an amazing trip at this home. For starters, Rita was the most incredible host- unbelievably responsive and attentive. The home is great- comfortable, clean, spacious and well stocked. Large bedrooms and bathrooms. meals on the deck. We loved the hot tub. The kitchen has everything!!! It's at the end of a quiet cul de sac with a beautiful creek right by the house. There are basketball hoops on the street that the kids loved- weren't any cars. The home is very close to nearby attractions and shopping. We went axe throwing one day when it rained. The shared dock was basically private, as no one else was there, and it's on a quiet cove on the lake. Perfect for swimming and kayaking, and the kids loved it. You need to walk past 3 homes to get to the dock- a charming 3 minute walk. Overall this place is fantastic. book it!!

Perfect Winter Getaway

This house is beautiful and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay during COVID. The owner was so responsive and caring, which made us feel safe staying there given COVID restrictions and a snowstorm. As we actually worked and went to school during this time, I have to mention that the WiFi was perfect! The house itself, with amazing views of woods and lake was comfortable and had everything we needed for family meals, and hanging out playing pool and in the hot tub. We were there during significant snow, so enjoyed hiking down to the lake, and just playing on the property. Wisp and grocery store are close yet we felt "away from it all." We so look forward to going back in other seasons!

About the host

Hosted by Shadybrook

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

Located on a cul-de-sac, private cove on the lake, close proximity to ski resort, Swallow Falls and other parks, grocer, restaurants and much more.
New kitchen, large deck overlooking the lake, short walk to the lake, semi-private dock.
Equipped and supplied with things needed like, ice, wood, gas for grill, soaps, TP, PT ect.,
so that you can easily start your vacation as soon as you arrive.

What makes this property unique

The house is located at the end of a road, the cove is nice in that you won't have the boat traffic you would have on the main part of the lake. The stream allows for a peaceful and tranquil setting. The semi private dock is nice in that you most likely can find some time that you can be alone and enjoy the peace of the cove.
Also, the sun hits the dock most of the day, which is good as the water can be cool as the nearby stream falls into the lake at that point. The water supplied by the stream helps keep the water in the cove clear and clean as well. The house sits in the woods which supplies refuge from the sun if you need it. Note: the temperature on the deck will be cooler than the dock temperature. So don't be fooled that it may be too cold to swim. The dock temperature tends to be at least 5 degrees warmer than the deck when the suns out.
