About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Access Lake from Cozy Seclusion- 3 Acres, Private Trail, Canoe - Sleeps 6-8

The Maine Retreat is a quiet oasis close to the action of Deep Creek Lake but far from everyday. Vacationers familiar with Maine getaways will absolutely love this setting-- A short trail walk through privately owned woods takes you from cozy, quiet seclusion to the beauty of Deep Creek Lake's shores.

Take a seat on the Covered Porch or take a stroll around the property-- 3 Acres of Private Woods, with a Trail to the Lake, are yours for savoring. Take the Canoe out and see if you can catch local bass, bluegill, perch, or walleye with the Fishing Rods, Tackle, Paddles and Lifevests we provide.

Within 10-15 min., you'll reach Deep Creek Lake activities, and when you return home, partying neighbors and bright street lights won't interrupt your view of the clear night sky, beautiful sounds of nature, or peaceful time alone with your loved ones.

The backyard firepit is sure to be a place where memories are made roasting hotdogs, making smores, and catching up with those who mean the most.



More Features of The Maine Retreat
The large front and back yard offer plenty of Kid-Friendly and Pet-Friendly space for outdoor games, such as horseshoe, badminton, volleyball, and cornhole. You'll find these and other fun items (frisbee, water guns, etc.) in our gaming closet. You'll enjoy hours of indoor family entertainment from the satellite TV, WiFi, and old school DVDs, Videos, CDs, and PlayStation2 on rainy mountain days. Bring your bikes, as the North Glade Hills community is a great place to ride. Kids can ride through the neighborhood while adults can enjoy the long country roads. Nearby Deep Creek State Park has hiking trails, boat launch, public beach with picnic areas and basketball courts, a science center, and tourist/info desk. We're a short drive to over half a dozen area other parks.

We provide a grill, firewood, outdoor games, snowshoes for cold stays, and a canoe with life vests for warm stays.

The Maine Retreat has 3 clean, equal-sized, comfortably furnished bedrooms and a sleeper sofa with amenities throughout to make it feel like home. The fully equipped kitchen, with drip coffee maker and toaster, has hosted anniversaries, Thanksgiving dinners, and more, but private chefs can be reserved to provide escape from the kitchen as well.

The house was very clean and cozy. The bed in the back with the tv was not very comfortable and I had to resort to the couch. The bathroom sink drained very slow and some of the items that were listed in the book, we could not find..charcoal, adult life vests. The wildlife did not disappoint and the walk to the lake was beautiful.

Great stay!

The stay was great! Although, the trail to the lake was about 1 mile through the woods. The ad says sleeps 10. We had 8 and found it a little tight. There are 3 bedrooms with 1 queen bed each, and a pull out couch. In the end, we enjoyed time with family.

Great first experience at Deep Creek!

Wonderful place! The cabin was absolutely great. Very clean and a great location. The property is beautiful - we saw deer in the back yard within 30 minutes of arrival! During our walk on the trail to the lake we saw a family of deer, one was almost pure white - beautiful! Very quiet area. The owners were very prompt with responses and a pleasure to work with. It was our first visit to the area, and we will definately return.

Weekend

The cabin was very nice. The add needs to be updated though. Add states there is shampoo and soap. There was no shampoo. Wifi password was not under the modem but in the book. And the dish washer was full of dishes did not know if they were clean or dirty. Was on a weekend get away and was not about to put dishes away.

Disliked: Communication
The cabin was very cute and well stocked. Great location close to Wisp. We overall really enjoyed the stay. Communication was poor, no response to question day before arrival regarding coffee appliance. I packed my own coffee maker just in case since I didn’t hear back. Could not check listing for details, it was taken down from vrbo site (not sure if this was intentional or a glitch with website). The combination of not seeing the listing to review and not hearing back from owner caused concern about the validity of our reservation as we drove from our home 3 hrs away. The communication issues continued- delayed response to inquiry made during stay. Received response the evening before we were checking out. Several lights bulbs were out making it very dark. One of the heating units didn’t work. I eventually fixed the heat on my own, discovered a tripped fuse for this unit in breaker box. Master bedroom bed was so uncomfortable- had to move to fold out couch on 2nd night. Could not find sheets for this, so we took sheets off of the queen. There were extra pillows in closets, no pillowcases. Overall it was a fun getaway, but not without a few bumps along the way in the cabin/vrbo experience.

Vacation Memories we will NEVER forget!!

The Maine Retreat was all we expected and then some. It was clean, comfortable, rustic and just perfect! Not to mention extremely affordable compared to other rentals of this size!! We really did not need to bring anything but ourselves, clothes and some food, because they had EVERYTHING you would ever need! The owners made the renting of their beautiful home so easy and they are such wonderful people!! We also brought our two furry kids with us (our dogs, L.C. and Sampson), and they had a blast running around the property and down to the cove. We also went to a few places where they were able to go swimming, New Germany Park and Swallow Falls Park were the best! Outside of the entrance to Swallow Falls Park there's a place where you can park your car and cross the road. We were walking on the trail and went down the embankment a few times and found some places they could jump in the river and swim along with us (it was pretty deep in certain spots too). They/we LOVED it!!!!. We also went to Wisp Resort and rode on the Mountain Coaster. It was unbelievably fun! We also went to ASCI, where they have manmade white water rafting. We had a blast there!! We flipped the raft at one point and it was intense!!! Well worth every second! We got to see some deer outside of the cabin and when my husband went golfing at Wisp Resort he got to see a bear on fairway #3. It was about 50 yards in front of him. He said it ran probably 200 yards in 20 seconds so do not EVER try to out run one if you are face to face with it!!! All in all we had a fantastic time and we will surely always remember this vacation fondly!! Thank you so much Pia and Greg for making this a memorable vacation for us and our two four legged children :o) Chris, Irene, L.C. and Sampson K. Pasadena, Maryland

The accommodations are wonderful and we very much enjoyed our time. Almost everything you need is provided. If you’re going to spend much time around the fire pit I would suggest taking some camp chairs if you can. 1 of the 3 benches was broken and the other 2 are about as comfortable as one would expect a bench to be. I would also suggest taking travel mirrors if possible. The only mirror is in the bathroom so my wife and mother had to skip around between everyone else taking showers and using the bathroom to do their hair and makeup. The ad says has shampoo and might say shower get, not sure, but it is not provided. We had read that in another post so came prepared. The four of us showed up for a 4 days stay with only a roll and a half of toilet paper and one roll of paper towels. Not a big deal, a market is just down the road. All in all this is a wonderful place. Fairly private and good easy roads to get into and out of.

Would we stay here again? Absolutely! Do we recommend it to others? 100%. We had a great long-term stay at the Maine Retreat. The place was even more beautiful than expected, and Pia was a gracious host given our particular circumstances. The home has all the essentials for a comfortable stay, including cooking and bakeware, wood for the fire, and access to the lake (8-10 min walk from cabin). As someone else has noted, the beds are a bit tight if you’re sharing with another but it just adds to the cozy atmosphere. Guests should note there’s no AC but there is a ceiling fan in the living area and one standalone fan. We loved the location and that it was a retreat but close to everything Deep Creek has to offer. Anyone would enjoy this place!

Sublimely Relaxing!

I would have likely rated 6 stars if the weather had been nicer! ( I do know there are only 5 stars). It rained most of the week, but honestly we didn't care as its been so hot and dry here in Florida, it was kind of nice to have several rainy days. The front porch can't be beat. I imagine that the Summer and Fall are awesome as far as the lake is concerned. We didn't get to canoe or fish as it was too cold but the access to both, right through the woods and down the path, is excellent. Saw lots of nature ( 25+ deer the day we were leaving), many different birds, an otter, and heard the peeping frogs as well...something we miss in Florida.We hiked in the rain most days, and watched lots of movies most nights. Built a fire in the fireplace 3 nights but never did build one in the firepit due to the rain. Looked like a great spot for s'mores. Cottage is well equipped, cozy, just really perfect. We had everything we needed to cook a big Easter dinner. Another day we purchased fresh oysters in Oakland and feasted on those as well as great shrimp from the Arrow market in Deep Creek right down the road on Rte 219. Everything was very convenient. My husband and his brother golfed at Thousand Acres and Alpine Lake and mostly had the courses to themselves. All in all.........very, very nice.

Cozy and clean getaway

This cabin was everything we needed it to be. It was far from the city (DC for us), and yet it wasn't old and musty like one's worst nightmares (and perhaps some experiences) might make us fear. For just my wife and I, we found this place to be very well cleaned, simple, but with everything we needed. This included cooking supplies, extra blankets, wood (though uncovered and outside which needed some drying-out), and windows enough in the large room that it felt spacious. We had a couple of things we needed to ask the owner about, and she was imminently reachable. The walk down to the lake (frozen while we were there) is a beautiful short walk to a beautiful location. It's about 15 minutes to the nearest town and grocery store, which had everything we needed (and even some extra things we wanted!). We are hoping ot go back, perhaps with another couple of friends this time.

Immaculate well-laid out cabin in a beautiful woodsy setting. Joy!

Our pack is two adults, an 8 year old, and two dogs. We went to Maine Retreat for a getaway and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Very nice trail through the woods to an opening by the water, great cookout locale just behind the house, and a very cozy, attractive lay out inside. The house was stocked with everything we needed. We enjoyed communing with nature and drives in and around Deep Creek. Hosts could not have been more helpful. Thank you, hope to be back soon!

Perfect DCL Experience!

We had a great time at the cabin. Our toddler loved playing with all the yard games (cornhole, cricket, badminton, and more!) and our dog enjoyed exploring in the woods and lounging in the shady yard. It was short walk to down to the cove where we could fish and the dog could swim. We also enjoyed taking the canoe out. The cabin provided a perfect amount of quiet and solitude while still being close to all the activity of Deep Creek Lake. Great dining options are just a few minutes away. We rented a boat for the day from Bill's Marine and that was just about a 15 minute drive. The house itself was very clean and spacious. Beds were comfortable. The fire pit and firewood were a nice touch. Our only complaint was that toilet paper and paper towels were not provided so we had to make a trip to the store for those. We had a small problem when we were not able to find the canoe at the location described to us in the manual from the owners. We called the owners and they were very responsive (on a Saturday) and got the property management company to handle the issue right away. (It turns out the property management company had put the canoe in a different location without the owners' knowledge.) We were very impressed with how quickly the owners resolved the problem. We had a great experience and would return!

A relaxing family retreat!

We spent a relaxing week at the Maine Retreat with our 2 kids and big dog. We loved having the yard and the woods to walk through. Walking down to the lake was a daily tradition, and we saw a beaver a couple of times. We also enjoyed the canoe - very peaceful. We really enjoyed the recommendations listed in the binder in the house, especially the Fireside Deli. I unfortunately had to work one day, and the internet access was great. So, all in all, if you need some time away (but might not get it), the Maine Retreat is a great place to go!

The "Marraige" Retreat

After a busy wedding weekend, the Maine Retreat offered a relaxed environment to unwind and enjoy all that the Deep Creek area has to offer. Greg and Pia were extremely accomodating throughout the reservation process and happily answered a million of my questions prior to our visit. The description of the property is accurate. The Lake access is a short walk away and the house is tidy, well kept and has been updated nicely. The large front porch has very comfortable seating and was a great place to sit and have coffee in the morning while the fireplace in the living area served as a great ammenity during the colder evening hours. All in all, my wife and I enjoyed our stay greatly and will likely be coming back again!

Simply perfect

My fiancée and I stayed at the cabin during a skiing trip to Wisp. The cabin was the perfect place to stay. It was very comfortable and very peaceful. The location was private enough where we felt we were away from it all, yet gave easy access to Wisp, grocery stores, and shopping. With all the outdoor activities in the area during the summer, we're hoping to go back very soon to spend some time on the lake and do some hiking. Thank you Pia and Greg for a much appreciated and enjoyed weekend at your cabin!

Great value and location!!

Secluded yet within a 10 minute drive to big box stores, "mom and pop shops" and restaurants. We arrived just in time for a beautiful "white christmas" The cabin is very well maintained and clean. We had a couple of minor issues upon check-in but the management company took care of it pretty quickly--- especially considering it was the sunday before christmas. We loved walking the trails behind the cabin with our dogs down to the lake. The only minor negative comment I can think of is ,that while the cabin is advertised as having internet--- you have to use an older pentium based laptop that is provided onsite-- it seemed to take a long time to view emails and web pages.. I think it would be very advantagious to just provide wireless internet with an access code for renters that would bring their own laptops. Other than that --our 1 week stay was very relaxing and a memorable family vacation! We are already thinking about possibly booking a week in the summer to take advantage of the activities around beautiful Deep Creek Lake !! Thanks-- Pia and Greg for opening up "The Maine Retreat" to us for the holidays!!

Great getaway

All in all this place was amazing. The only complaint I have is that the week I went it was very hot and the place has no air conditioning. Six of us went, loved being secluded but not far from of a drive to everything. Also the walk to the lake was nice also. Will definitely go again, my kids had a great time too.

Very nice house, lots of fun playing in the snow!

Very nice place to stay. The property management was very helpful and friendly. We ran into a few issues with the amount of snow (hardly anyone's fault!), and it would have been nice to have a shovel, but the property manager arranged for the drive and road to be plowed a couple of times, which was extremely helpful and relieving. It was a lot of fun to have the sleds available, and all the basics were well met. Thank you very much, Pia and Greg!

Perfect Getaway

This cabin is absolutely beautiful! The surroundings are so peaceful, secluded and full of nature. It is a cozy, warm and inviting home which makes it real hard to leave. The fireplace and the backyard full of trees and forests were our favorite parts of this place. Our three dogs really enjoyed all the scents of the woods and the many nature trails we were close to. The cabin is in close proximity to a few of the local state parks. We really enjoyed how we were tucked back in the woods all by ourselves, but we also had the convenience of grocery stores, markets, restaurants, etc. only 5-10 miles away. The cabin is very clean and well kept. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a secluded, quiet, scenic retreat. We look forward to our return!

College Reunion

My wife and I traveled from Charlotte, NC traveled to the Maine Retreat for a place to stay to visit a milestone reunion at my alma mater. At the same time, we had family from PA visit and we were there for four days and three nights. My only regret is we didn’t stay longer! It’s close enough to everything yet far enough away with plenty of space to spread out. We had (2) small children, (4) adults and (2) dogs…we were all depressed going home, even the dogs. The amenities were very spacious and comfortable, no one ever felt crowded and the kids especially had a blast. This one will become an “annual”, only for a full week in the future. There is simply too much to take in for the short time we were there.
