Location: McHenry, Deep Creek Lake, Western, Maryland, USA (Deep Creek Lake,MD ... 6.7 mile drive to Wisp) View Map
Accommodations: House, 2 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 1.5 Baths (Sleeps 6-8)
Keywords: house,cottage
New lake access home with private dock available for your use.Use our 15ft.canoe. Bring your own boat, or rent one for the day/week from a local marina and keep it at your own private dock. Large dock in quiet cove is great for sunbathing or swimming. We have the dock is in the lake from May first until October first.The dock must be "pulled" through the cold months. If you want to have the dock out for visits in April or October call we will see if we can accommodate you.
Located close to all Deep Creek Lake activities but tucked away in 3 acres of woods so you can get away from it all. Watch for deer as you enjoy breakfast from your screened in porch. Share quiet nights sitting around your campfire roasting marshmallows, we provide the firewood!
Each bedroom has a queen sized bed and a twin bed. There is additional queen sized Murphy bed in the great room.
we received an inquiry asking a question about "lake access" It has occur to me there may be some confusion about the lake proximity to our house, and the name we use for our place may have added to this.
Our house is "the Barn on Lake Shore" because the address is on Lake Shore Drive, and we chose to build with the look of a barn (This was in homage to a local landmark, a sway back stone barn around the corner on Mayhew Inn road), it is NOT on the shore of Deep Creek Lake. I chose this name for the cute factor, not to deceive anyone
Our property is NOT lake front.To get to our dock you walk down the middle of our property and cross the road, go down our deeded and wooded 15 foot right of way between two lake side houses.We all find it a pleasant walk and the view of our cove sitting on the dock and its landing is lovely and very private. We don't have what I could call a lake view from our house. In the summer you can some time see a glimmer of the lake, when the trees are bare in the winter a little more but thats about it. What we do have is lots of private woods.
No one in the past has ever complained but,we would rather have fewer inquires or renters than have any of our guest be disappointed in our place.
We have tried to make our property pet and kid friendly with casual no-worries decor. It is not small child-proof however,the second floor which contains the living space, has large, low windows, and will require close adult supervision. The back porch has 13 steps. The interior stairs are 17 steps to the living space they are equipted with hand rails and hand grips, Hand grips are also in the full bath shower and commode this may be of interest to persons with limited mobility.
We like to cook and you will find a well equipped kitchen. cooking for a crowd? We suply the pots. All doors and shelves are labeled to make life easy for you.
Climbing on stonework of barn would be dangerous is forbidden..

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!!

A Rainy, but Fun 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!
Owner response:It is so good to here the time we put into treating our guest as we would like to be treated translated into a good visit. We are fortunite to have a visitor who kindly took the time to write this review

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!

My husband and I, along with our five children, just finished a stay at this property on Lake Shore Drive. Boy, were we surprised and impressed! The home is nestled back from the road and is on a stunning lot. Everything inside is brand new! Everything is on the second floor, except a half bath and some storage. The kitchen houses all the utensils, cups, bowls, plates, and makers one can imagine. It has granite countertops, pine cabinets and flooring, and stainless steel appliances. Everything is labeled for easy access. The living room hosts a Franklin stove and large, comfortable couch. There is a Murphy bed that comes down from the wall, if needed. The bathroom is gorgeous with about 12 feet of shower space, all stone tiled--my kids didn't want to come out! The bedrooms are comfortable and nicely appointed. Off the kitchen is a large screened porch, great for early morning coffee with someone special or just relaxing by oneself while viewing deer and birds of all types in the forest. We cooked dinner in the firepit, and we fished off the pier just across the road. The place was so peaceful! The towns around Deep Creek Lake are very small--some one street and others a few intersections. The parks are pristine and great for swimming, kayaking, or picnicking. We could have stayed much longer. Everyone we met was very friendly. This is a great place for singles, couples, families, or retirees. No one will be disappointed!
