About this property

Entire place

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

✩Whole house•Sleeps 9•Hot tub•Pet Friendly•5 Min to water & activities✩

"On The Rocks" is set back in the woods with a large yard and interior footprint for your whole family to enjoy! We just recently renovated almost the entire house and are centrally located to every main attraction but far enough where you can enjoy the peace and quiet in private. Enjoy the hot tub under cover, sit by the fire, walk the dog in the friendly neighborhood or grill out with family and friends. We would love to host you but nevertheless enjoy your stay at Deep Creek Lake MD!! Our home is 1,700sqft that allows plenty of room for all your family or friends! This is a 3 bedroom 2 bath home with a large open concept floor plan. ***If you would like to bring a pet, they are more than welcome, but you must add the pet(s) to your reservation which is an additional cost. Failure to do so may result in additional fees for cleaning.

Kickback Weekend
This home matched the pictures exactly but even better it’s the small details once you check in. Linens are provided but they are very nice bath towels, each sink has a refillable soap dispenser with great smelling soap, each shower has a bath wash, shampoo and conditioner dispenser, kitchen was stocked with towels, dish rag, new sponge, soap, pods, paper towels, trash bags, living room has lots of games to pick from. I know this may seem silly to most but this just shows a host that took the time to care about the little details just as much as the big ones. Would highly recommend this home. Also host is very polite and quick to answer any questions.

Quiet fishing retreat
I am a MD Fly Fishing Guide and I stumbled on to this place when looking for a quality house to rent for a weekend retreat. It was perfect located, for the fly fishing/trout we were looking to do. The house was clean, spacious, inviting, and overall a very good place to stay. They have all the little things from cookware, to linens/towels, toiletries, and more! After a long day on the river it was nice to relax in the hot tub. Shannon was very quick and responsive to any questions I had. I appreciate the note and snacks too. Thanks for allowing us to stay at your wonderful home!

The house served its purpose. We had all we needed there. It was in a nice location, about 6 minutes from most things. Very quiet neighborhood it’s in. Really enjoyed the fire pit circle.

A True Holiday Treat
We were so excited for our post Christmas family getaway and “On The Rocks” totally delivered. The house was nicely decorated for Christmas, which was a huge plus for everyone. The location is just right, with easy access to shopping and entertainment. One of those vacations where leaving was tough and conversations about when we could come back were already being had. Thank you so much for your hospitality! The Duganclan

Great Spot
We enjoyed our stay here (2 adults, 2 children under 12yrs old, 1 puppy). The neighborhood has a campground feel, which we liked. It’s quiet and secluded, but it’s also only six minutes from the lake, grocery store, gym, and many attractions for the kids. Check-in and out were super easy. We had zero issues with wifi while running multiple devices. The fire pit and lights hanging from the trees around the deck and pit are a nice touch. So too are the logs cut as benches for sitting around the fire. Thanks for having us, Shannon =)

Secluded bliss!
We recently spent 3 nights at this property. To note, we spent well over 2 months reviewing nearly 100 properties in the Deep creek area. This property provided the size, amenities, and location ( secluded) but was near all the surrounding activities, restaurants, beach, boat rentals etc. Although we did not need the 3 bedrooms; we wanted a property with an open space inside and out. This home was just what we were looking for. We used all the amenities including the outdoor grill and the fire pit. We did use the hot tub and were pleased that the man responsible for maintaining (cleaning/disinfecting) the tub was there the afternoon that we arrived. It was great to have the back covered deck to read since it was raining at times. The living, kitchen and bedroom areas were well kept. The king-sized bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable. We had no issues streaming our favorites shows on the TV in the living room. The large bathroom with perfect with dual sinks for our toiletries. We did use the laundry facilities once and were grateful that the laundry soap was supplied. The kitchen was large with a lot of cabinet space and counter space for cooking (which we did as well). This property was a gem of a find and an easy drive from the Pittsburgh area. We will be back.

We really enjoyed our stay! The weather was overcast and rainy. We played games and enjoyed the hot tub. We had one really good day that we utilized the lake. My husband enjoyed the deck and we all enjoyed the firepit. We will come back, I liked the way it was decorated!
