**Things to Note: We do not allow large events, or hosting additional guests at this property without previous approval. The house utilities can't accommodate more than 25 guests.

Wifi is fast thanks to Starlink. So wifi phone calls (smartphone) work well. Cell calls can sometimes drop.

In the event of snow or ice, the back deck will be closed for safety reasons. But we have a large covered patio under the deck that is always available. If the snow is too deep and the house is not accessible, you will be given a full refund.

If you smoke anything inside the house you will be fined.
This is a cabin in the woods, so despite our best efforts, you may see insects.

Lastly, this home is off-grid, which means we produce and store all our energy. We are also on well and septic. Energy is not unlimited, therefore summer thermostats are set at 74 and winter at 70. We appreciate any energy saving efforts, such as turning off items not being used, keeping showers short, running appliances (washer, DW) early in the day time, and closing windows when air is on.

Guest Access:
Guests will have access to the entire property

The Neighborhood:
Sugarloaf Mountain is a primarily undeveloped area of west Maryland that offers quiet scenic hiking, nice restaurants and local wineries and golf courses.

This was our group's 3rd annual visit to the Log House, and we have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves each time. The custom home is well appointed and beautifully furnished with seasonal decor that make for a warm welcome. There are various spaces for enjoying group activities or quiet time, a spacious gourmet kitchen that is well equipped, and the comfy, cozy bedrooms with adjoining bathrooms are a bonus. I have always enjoyed great communication with the host, and he makes the check-in/check-out process smooth and simple. The home is close to shopping, restaurants, wineries and distilleries, or it's the perfect spot to find your center, reconnect with others, and just enjoy the beautiful spaces.

Secluded Retreat

Foreboding drive to property, but ……upon arrival it is like nirvana! What a joy for our five couples to each have a private bath and a half- bath for visitors. The game room …..forget about it! Bring food to cook in a fabulous kitchen which has everything you may need and I mean everything. Ice machine made plenty for our stay. Bring wine for the wine fridge even. This place has it all.

Fantastic place for a weekend away!

My partner and I booked the house for a combined bachelor/bachelorette weekend with 20 friends and it was a blast. The location is perfect — secluded but only a few minutes from wineries and town. The house is amazing — spacious and comfortable with tons of games and amenities. We had both adults and an infant and everyone had everything they needed. We had no issues at all with the solar power and had plenty of electricity at all times. The only thing that may not be clear from the listing is that one wing of the house is a separate apartment that is booked separately so you might be sharing the property with other guests. This was not a problem at all for us and we hardly ever saw the other guests who were there (and who were very friendly) but just something to be aware of.

Teambuilding

Our team of engineering leaders held a leadership teambuilding and strategy session at the house. It was a great location to enjoy the outdoors, prepare some great meals and align on our team's challenges. It was great to unwind at the end of the day by the fire and enjoy some friendly (I think you could call it that) competition on the shuffleboard and foosball tables.

Incredible spot for a weekend getaway

My wife and I got married nearby and we and the wedding party stayed at the Log House for the weekend. Incredible place for a getaway with close friends. Spacious and modern interior, but still with a remote log cabin feel. Tons of outdoor space as well, along with two fully stocked kitchens. Only regret was not staying longer.

Terrific gaming weekend

A large group of my friends all stayed here. The property is lovely and filled with activities (including a list of hiking trails) and both the beds and kitchen are fantastic. We were initially concerned about the solar power due to a heatwave but the AC stayed cool and the lights stayed on. Would absolutely stay here again.

Fantastic Log House

We booked the house as its location was central to all of the golf courses we were playing. The house was amazing - from the spacious kitchen, to the living and bedrooms, the downstairs game room, and the deck. There is plenty of stuff there to keep you busy. Stewart was very responsive to any questions we had. Highly recommend this VRBO.

Great place for a retreat

I booked this property for a short retreat with colleagues. Several staff stayed at the house and other stayed at a nearby hotel (as we don't force staff to share rooms). Communication with Stewart leading up to our retreat was helpful, easy, and consistent. The house is beautiful and just as it is described, though the photos cannot do the kitchen and beauty around the house justice!

The house was perfect for our family get together. The house is in a beautiful location and it was so peaceful. Everyone in our group had a great time and we can't wait to go back there. We were there during a heat wave of 90+ temps and the AC set at 74 was not a problem at all. The house is spotless and Stewart was very helpful with any questions we had. Highly recommend this VRBO.

Spacious--Lots of room to be together and also room for privacy.

Bedrooms were just right and we loved the extra bathrooms in the Den and Kitchen area. Lots of room for meals: the adults at the big table and the grandchildren loved their big table on the deck. The basement was equiped with many items for gametime for the older grandchildren and the younger ones loved the variety of games and toys for them. Some shortcomings: Air Conditioning less than ideal; Internet and WiFi spotty (occasionally had to go outside or up the road a ways to get a better signal); Flickering lights at times. But, note that you are cautioned about these matters in the online listing descriptions. A positive: a rare problem with the water system was dealt with as quickly as possible and a generous refund provided. This is a beautiful, spacious log house in a beautiful remote location. but yet only a few miles from I-270.

Cabin getaway

The property itself was nice. We had a great stay, we do think that it should be in the description that they won’t drop the temperature past 74 degrees. The house is solar powered and they don’t want you using the lights much or dropping the ac. Other than that it was a great stay.

Great place for a retreat.

Our group of 12 educators met for a before school starts retreat to plan for the year. The house was amazing! Plenty of room to meet in a large group and for break out groups. The prep kitchen was a nice touch, with the oversize refrigerator and huge freezer. Great for our teams to cook our daily meals. The only down side of the rental was the internet and phone access, very spotty.

Excellent getaway close to home

Had my 40th birthday with a few friends during the week. When we arrived the home was very clean and organized. It felt like we drove or flew to get to such a cozy dreamy place. Stewart was great! He responded to emails and text messages immediately. Note that wifi and service is spotty at this house. We were able to download our music playlists and used the provided bose bluetooth speaker for our small dance party. Texting over wifi worked great and we had a blast. Trails for sugarloaf are literally a walk down the street. We hired a chef one night and the extra prep room was awesome for them. I know we will be returning with family when we can. Definitely check this place out for your next getaway or event. We really loved it!
