My husband and I stayed for 3 nights. Didn’t spend much time here as my relatives rented a huge house just down the street. This house was very cute and very clean. A little outdated but that gave a cottage feel.
We did not cook here but the kitchen was spacious. Beds were hard which I liked but my husband didn’t. We would definitely stay here again.

Very clean. Convenient to restaurants & attractions. Yard was great for dogs.

Location was the biggest factor for us, and the location was perfect, centrally located in the midst of all the area has to offer! The place offered several rooms to hang-out in and every living/bedroom had televisions with cable!
We would definitely stay again.

A wonderful place to stay. It is dated, but it's clean, spacious and has just what you need. They even have board games you can use. Great location and close to many activities.

Definitely lived up to its name "Grandma cabin". Dated decor, but clean. Bedrooms were well done with comfortable beds (there were 2 queen beds and a bunk bed set). The yard is not fenced, so dogs must be leashed. The only complaint was the kitchen was not well stocked with even basic supplies. My advice is if you think you'll need it (like a bottle opener or wine glasses or even a frying pan) better bring it from home.

Cute little house that was perfect for a weekend getaway.
3.0 / 5.0
We had an acceptable stay. This is a solid house and needs so little to be a really great cheap alternative in deep creek. So many little things were broken or needed fixed. I had to purchase a Allen wrench set to tighten the bunk beds for my kids- they were listing at about a 10 deg angle and were so creaky they were possibly unstable. Most of the various towel bars and hooks are ready to fall off the wall. They list AC but it is window units (I suppose - the house is baseboard gas boiler heat) but they were pulled and it was 81and 82 degrees when we were there. If you can get this at a very low rate it is worth it. We were on the lake most of the day and when we came back to the kitchen it was solid to cook in except for the dishwasher. The dishwasher was not secured to the counter so it wanted to fall forward. Vacasa please fix these little items and make the house a great inexpensive rental.

Nice little house close to everything. Can't beat the price, but you get what you pay for. Looks as though they might be slowly updating some of the furniture.
Water pressure is low, but water gets really hot if you need it.
Not sure why the window AC Units were in the basement and not in the windows. It was cool enough that we didn't bother bringing them up. But not sure if we were even allowed to do so.
Speaking of the basement, it was extremely musty smelling that got worse with the humidity. It was almost unbearable at times.
The upstairs is nice and cozy. The beds were firm and comfortable. The firepit is a nice addition. The kitchen had enough pots, utensils, etc.
Overall my family felt comfortable and secure.

It felt extremely homey. The basement had a very damp smell that was overwhelming. The neighbors were so friendly and we saw deer that came up to us. Are walks was peaceful. I enjoy being in deep creek that's my happy place.

This home is close to the lake, restaurants, state parks, e.t.c. it is an older out dated home So there are things that come with it being older. Smells trapped in carpet and furniture. You get alot of house for the price. The deck is a beautiful place to enjoy coffee in the morning and the cool breeze in the evening. We enjoyed our stay.

Cozy place
We liked staying at this location. The house was as described. Nothing fancy but everything available and location was great. We stayed Monday through Friday.
The weather was terrible, it rained 2 out of 5 days. Despite being a spring break week all activities for teens were closed. No ziplining, no boat riding, no ski resort. The only fun zone was also closed from Mon through Thursday. We ended up riding horses, mud riding, hiking, bowling, and movies.
The house is cozy but needs some updates. The sofa and chairs in the living room need to be seriously vacuumed and cleaned. I sat on the sofa the first day and was covered with white pet fur, probably a cat.
If you are a gamer, bring your own games as the house has PS only. Plenty of TV, we had no issues with hot or cold water, no issues with heating system. Pots and pans, kitchen utensils - everything was available for cooking. We couldn’t figure out how to use the outside grill.
Overall our stay was fine. I bet it’s great during summer, as it was a walking distance from the lake.

Great location!
Long weekend getaway with family. Wonderful location. Close to Wisp ski resort, restaurants, market and to deep creek lake state park. Had a great time!
2.5 / 5.0
We loved staying here.
Tons of room in the house, 2 bathrooms which is great, and a really nice yard.
Unfortunately, we didn't quite get to use the yard as much as we wanted to due to a rainy week, but we got a bit of use out of it.
The area is super nice, less than a mile from Arrowhead Market (a nice convenience store and gas station), 5 min away from the Deep Creek park, and 10 min away from the closest Walmart.

Enjoyed our stay for Autumn Glory
The house was just as advertised and reviewed. Quaint home in a convenient location in nice area to walk around. Didn't have any issues while we were there at all, everything was in working order and clean. There are a few things about the house that are typical of an older home but nothing that detracted from a very enjoyable and comfortable stay. With the mild weather we had this trip we enjoyed the gated deck out back, especially the dog, and the picnic table out front. Great value for the price! Would definitely stay here again!

Quaint
We had a lovely time. House is comfortable and basement functioned as a "granny flat" in reverse. Young adults and 1 pet in the basement and geriatrics stayed upstairs with other pet. Nearby trails was great for youth.

Nice Getaway
This place was very nice. Only thing I wish was better listed was the air conditioning. There are two window units in the two of the three bedrooms and fans. Luckily we were there during a cool week or it would have been very hot in the house. I would suggest putting an AC unit in the living room too. The house was perfect size for my family and my sons loved the little game room downstairs.

Clean and spacious
This place was a great space for us, 3 adults and 1 kid. It was SO clean and the location was great. Had lots of TVs and spaces for every one to do their own thing. Close to everything but on a quiet street. We loved the grill, picnic table and outdoor fireplace. The pictures didn't do the outdoor space justice. Only downside was we thought it had AC but it doesn't. Cell service around the lake isn't good, but wifi was great.

Grandma’s Cottage
This is a quaint, quiet cottage that is very conveniently located and was cheaper than the hotels we used to stay in at the lake. While not super updated it is very comfortable, though if you plan on cooking, you might want to bring your own cookware as the pots and pans leave a lot to be desired. The water pressure is a bit low if you’re used to city water, but if you take one shower at a time it’s not too bad. We enjoyed it as it was easy to get to the state park and had plenty of room to park the boat trailer in the driveway.

Excellent Stay
Property was clean. Could use a little updating of bathrooms (shower head in main bath; toilet seat in master bath) and kitchen toaster. Otherwise, a perfect stay!

Nice cottage for our weekend getaway
The check-in process was a breeze and the property did its job. There is plenty of space and has everything you need. I would recommend getting some longer curtains for the front door and kitchen to increase privacy. We ended up hanging bedsheets up at night to fully cover the windows. We would recommend this property to friends and family.

House has space to spread out with a full basement. Multiple TVs but we could get only two to work and no information provided. Home was clean but bare bones on house supplies so make sure you bring your own. No communication fromManagement company that was disappointing - it’s was obvious that communication were automatic Luckily we did not need urgent assistance but not confident that we would have received assistance.

Great place
Great cozy place. Good location, close to everything. Our only issue was the water pressure, very low to none. If you turned the water on (like the kitchen sink or in the other bathroom) while someone was in the shower the shower water would completely shut off. We made it work and would stay there again but hope they can figure out the water pressure issue.

Awesome Property
Felt right at home with this property. Right around the corner from the state park. Short drive to Wisp. Located on a quiet street off the main road, so traffic is minimal. This is a great property if you have a few kids and are on a budget. Will be coming back!

Very Nice House with lots of space
I was concerned about the size of this house based on the listed square footage, however the house was very spacious. The upstairs had enough room for multiple adults, but the very large basement several rooms including one very large room that was about 2/3rds of the overall space. The kitchen was a bit small for cooking but worked out well. My dog also enjoyed sitting out front and watching people run and walk their dogs.

Nice place to stay!
This place is very cozy! It has a nice yard for dogs. It is not fenced so I actually hooked my 2 dogs together with a 30ft leash. There is a game room but we didn't use it. Great for a large family. Even for a multi family. The mattresses were extremely firm just a heads up. There are some things I recommend they need. I would recommend having curtains or shades for all the windows in the kitchen, one for the back door, and a longer curtain for the master bath. Other then that great place to stay and will stay there again!

Did what we needed at a decent rate
Was clean, and had what we needed for our four night stay. The basement was musty and had a weird smell, though we didn't need to use it
