  My husband and I were in need of a mini-vacation, but couldn’t spend a lot of money. The weekend was perfect as it was indeed a relaxing getaway, that was reasonably priced…. and we could even bring our dog, Dexter. The house came equipped with everything you could have needed…. Mixers, quesadilla makers, back packs to use while there, tupperware to take home- EVERYTHING! I was a little hesitant that with the rental being ‘dog friendly’ that the house would be run down and not clean, but it wasn’t at all- the house was very clean and roomy enough for Dexter to run around. I don’t think the pictures online do the space justice. We enjoyed getting away from the real world- the house was tucked away in the woods, but close enough to the lake, falls and tons of trails… just minutes away. Dexter enjoyed all the outdoor activities. Overall, the weekend getaway was exactly what we needed.

  Owner response: Visiting the lake and Garrett Co. has all ways had a relaxing effect on us. The change of pace combined with the nice people and out of doors refreshes body and mind We have tried to have the kind of house that is leased at good value for money. That is, the kind of place that we would like to stay ourselves. Our place is well stocked because it is the way we want it for our own visit. Hopefully our guest will feel like they are staying at a friend’s place, supplied with all that would entail. Because our house is new built we could make it easy to clean. So “pet People” and guest who do not bring companion animals can find a well maintained place for their visit. Our supper cleaner does a great job between guests. Also when our guests treat our house as they would a friends place it can kept up, and still allow us to charge a “reasonable price”

  We stayed here the end of May EVERYTHING you could possible need is here.We were there for fishing and the location is right in the middle of good fishing.My Grandson-Son and I could not believe how big the place is,you could get lost in this place its so big.We have booked it for next year and we are looking foward to going there.The owners are very friendly and answered any questions we had most of the questions were about where is a good place to eat and where to buy food. I would recommend this to everyone I know ********** stars for this place

  We had a lovely long weekend at the Barn on Lake Shore! This is an adorable house stocked with everything you could possibly need...the owners have thought of (and labeled) everything. The property is lovely...you feel as if you're in the middle of the woods. But a short walk on a well-marked path leads you to the waterfront and the house is conveniently located to many of Deep Creek's amenities. We took advantage of the firepit outside and had a blazing campfire every evening, no shortage of wood here. My brother, who loves to grill, was pleased to find a new Weber grill ready for him to use. There is plenty of parking for your boat trailer or guests. This is a modern, roomy and well-stocked vacation home! We plan to return next year!

  We have stayed at the Barn on Lake Shore twice, and each time has been terrific. They have a fully stocked house with everything from paper cups for the bathroom to a coffee maker to disposable tupperwares to take home leftovers. We had 3 adults and 3 children staying with us and were quite comfortable. The wall/murphy bed is incredibly comfortable. So much so, that my husband wrote the name of the mattress down and went home and bought one after the trip!! Not only is it more comfortable than a sofa bed, but unlike sofa beds, we could leave it out during our stay. It is a short (about 5-10 minute) drive to the ski slopes. The lake is right across the street. SInce the winter was mild, my mother was able to take our 3 year old son for a walk to see the lake. She said it was a quick and easy walk. They also have a great screened in porch. Although we stay in the winter, I am sure it is great for spring, summer, and fall. I love that we could bring our dog. The owners even have tags with the lake houses' information for you to use during your stay. The great room is very spacious. There was plenty of room for us all to sit and enjoy a movie. This was our second time here, but I am sure it won't be our last.

  Owner response: About the wall bed When we started renting we wanted all the beds to be as comfortable as we could make them. On the theory a otherwise great vacation can be much diminished by rotten nights sleep. . Toward this end all the beds have memory foam under a white waterproof washable mattress cover topped with a lambs wool mattress pad. We are happy to hear this has resulted in the good nights sleep for our guests. Tourists without a Car would need some other transport at Deep Creek Lake/ Garrett co. Motor cycles or bikes.

  House was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked. Owners went out of their way ensuring we had a nice weekend. Everything was labeled (and I mean everything) :-) to make sure you could find anything you needed. Wouldn't hesitate renting it again! If you are there to ski, considering driving to Timberline (1 hour south) for a nice change of pace in case you get bored with Wisp.

  Owner response: It always good to hear guest enjoyed our house!

  I love this place!! My parents have known Jack and Florence for years and I went to school with their youngest son. I stayed a couple years ago in August for a week and theres so mauch to and not time. Me and boyfriend stayed the weekend before thanksgiving and all though the slopes were still closed we had a blast we stayed for a romantic getway and did some trail walks swallow falls if you haven't been then go! In the summer you swim in the waterfalls. Jack and florence have made their cabin a home away from home!! And their shower is to die for :) she has labeled everything to make it easier to find(great idea) no searching. And the best part of staying is I could Brody my German shepherd lab puppy she even has dog crates small medium and large. She thought of everything you could need to make it a wonderful stay!!

  We had a great stay at the Barn on Lake Shore. We came with our 3 month old, my parents, and our dogs. Unfortunately, we had a VERY rainy week, but we didn't mind being stuck inside because it's such a great house to be stuck in! Our stay was very relaxing and peaceful--just what we needed. We used the rain as a good excuse to watch movies, take naps, and play a lot of cards and board games. Florence, the owner, has provided EVERYTHING you could ever think of...even dog bandanas and dog blankets. It was very nice to go to a place that is so dog-friendly. The house is very cozy - the beds are comfortable, the decor is very cute, and the kitchen is extremely well equipped (and labeled!). We have stayed at many beach houses and vacation houses and this was by far the all-around best equipped. The area around the house is very woodsy and provides nice privacy, and there is a firepit where we cooked out a few times and had camp fires and roasted marshmallows and hotdogs. It's a short walk down to the dock. It's peaceful just sitting by the water. We tried fishing and even took the canoe out. There are a lot of parks and hiking nearby, which was were able to do a little of when it stopped raining. We could've had better weather, but we couldn't have had a better house. Thanks for a great vacation!

  Owner response: It's good to here how we equipped our place has made a rainy visit a fun one. Garrett Co. dose have a lot of rain and snow, the mountains catch the rain clouds heading east.

  We had an excellent stay here. The home was beautiful! The kitchen was well stocked with the necessary cookware, cleaning supplies, and paper products. The only thing we needed to bring was our food and linens. We visited during the winter to go skiing at wisp. The slopes were less than 15 minutes away. We had 3 children and 3 adults, and we were all comfortable. The extra bed in the family room is not a typical extra bed. It was extremely comfortable. Definitely reccommend it!

  My boyfriend and I have visited the Barn on Lake Shore twice so far and are planning on a 3rd trip very soon. It is such a warm and cozy place to relax and get away. Both of our trips have been during the winter season as we love snowboarding and skiing. The home is within 10 minutes of the Wisp Resort which made for an easy commute to the slopes! On our 1st trip there , we were snowed in for a day from a big storm that had come through overnight (although, the road crews in the area were fantastic and the horseshoe driveway to the house was even personally cleared for us in no time), but with the wonderful amenities at the house we had plenty of entertainment in the mean time. The owners have a wide selection of games (even an air hockey table in the garage!) and the large flat screen tv in the great room made for awesome movie nights. After a long day on the slopes it was so nice to come back and warm up with a cup of hot chocolate by the wood stove. Dinners were amazing with every specialty kitchen appliance you can think of, including a quesadilla maker which I have to say won my vote night after night. This rental property is spacious and beautiful and has everything you could ever think of to kick back and forget it all on a brisk winter getaway! I strongly recommend for ANYONE!

  We stayed here last summer for a week with our dog and had an amazing time. We thought that it was too good to be true at first, because the price was so low compared to others in the area. However, we were wrong, everything was better than expected. The house is nestled in the woods away from everything, it's really the perfect place to get away and escape. It's also perfect for those with dogs. They have plenty of room to run and play outside, and inside as well. The kitchen is huge and well stocked. They really did think of everything. The private dock is a short walk across the street. There is a fire pit outside that has plenty of fire wood to get you through the week, and a furnace in the living room as well. The screened in porch is also a nice size. I would highly recommend Barn on Lake Shore!
