Cozy Cabin located in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood just off the popular Glendale Road. An absolute gem, close to the lake and all the popular spots! Brought our dog and enjoyed the walks around the loop seeing all the beauty. Loved the fire pit on the front porch where we consumed way too many s’mores. This cabin comes fully stocked, they even supply the little extras like trash bags, dishwasher pods and hand soap! Anything you forgot, there’s a convenient DG Market right down the road. We were a family of four with a dog and everyone had their own space to enjoy. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a restful and stress free getaway. Owner Michelle was fantastic and very responsive and check in was flawless.

Beautiful cottage

We had a wonderful stay at the Love Shack . Michelle , the owner , was quick to respond to any questions and had some nice suggestions on nearby restaurants . It was so close to Deep Creek State Park , Swallow Falls , numerous restaurants and other activities. The cottage has everything we needed. It had a lovely front porch where we spent much of our downtime and my kids (under 10 years old ) really enjoyed the loft . It was in a nice community of other cottages and We’d love to come back and stay .

Just enough

This is a great spot with a cool design aesthetic. It was just enough space for me, my husband and dog. So many places I’ve stayed have an abundance of “stuff” and things can be hard to find. The love shack had just enough of everything and it felt like an actual home. Place was super clean and the location is great. Communication was easy and straightforward

Great cabin

The cabin was very nice. The only drawback was that there was no dining table. My husband and I brought a lot of board games because the weather was supposed to be bad, but weren’t really able to play any. Other than that the communication with the owner was great. The hot tub was lovely. We had a great time.

Birthday Celebration

Our stay at the Love Shack was amazing!!It was so cozy and comfortable. We enjoyed ourselves so much we added an extra day. The communication with Michelle was great. The cabin provided everything we needed in reference of cookware, utensils, seasonings etc. The decor was wonderful. We enjoyed the fireplace and the hot tub. Arrowhead was a small market which provided all our essentials. Honi Honi bar was very nice. The band played and the drinks were very strong. There was a Walmart, Dollar Tree and Flea Market close by.

Relaxing Vacay

We were at Deep Creek during the off season, and the area was very quiet & beautiful. The location was in a small neighborhood where it was easy to walk our dogs. The house looked very much like the photos; best parts were probably the private deck with hot tub, kitchen, and upstairs loft. Our host provided many great recommendations for local eats and there is an amusement center in town with go karts, mini golf, ninja course, and arcade machines which we enjoyed. Overall, Deep Creek was amazing and the cabin was delightfuly cozy.

Stayed here for a few days and it was perfect. We are always around people so we had a wonderful time away from everyone. Perfect kitchen and space for the two of us, plus the neighborhood/street is peaceful and quiet, yet only a few minutes from everything. Loved the hiking trails, restaurants, and breweries nearby. We definitely plan on coming back when the lake isn’t frozen!

Relaxing Getaway

We stayed at the Love Shack for a few days between Christmas and New Years. The cabin was cozy and met all of our needs. We enjoyed the hot tub one evening of our stay and loved the fireplace over the chilly nights. Our teen daughter had a great time reading, writing, and hanging out in the loft. The property location was in close proximity to area attractions. We did find the small neighborhood and lack of side walks a little challenging with our dog, but nothing we could not work around. Overall, we enjoyed a relaxing stay. Many thanks to the host for the clear communication throughout our stay and for making the accommodation available

Perfect for our Intentions!

Needed a little getaway from the hectic holiday season! Place was delightful for the 4 of us [me, my husband, daughter/her boyfriend]. Our goal was fire place, hot tub, Christmas movies, games, food, football. While the location was excellent, we didn't venture out, by design, other than to walk the dogs around the block or to hit the coffee shop. We were very comfortable with the arrangement and had a lot of privacy, as it relates to sleeping arrangements. Our goal was to "be" together, so the set up was great for that.What we loved: host communication/accomodations, location, the place, itself, hot tub, we could bring dogs, fireplace, vibe of the cottage, bed was comfy. What wouldn't have worked for us if we were staying longer: 1 bathroom, centrally located, felt a little "vulnerable," kitchen was not THAT well-stocked [we brought a lot of our own stuff, per our preferences: crock pot, waffle iron]. "Kids" (25 & 22) The loft was great; but if you prefer some alone time, you still feel "involved" in the loft. We like to play cards and other games sitting around a table. While the LR was super cute, not quite configured to allow for that [although we definitely made do]The outdoor space/front porch was super cute; and would definitely give more space to hang/be alone in the warmer weather. Hot tub was nice and relaxing [and private]We had a wonderful time & would rent again!
