Want to go to a house that feels like your own personal cabin in the woods? That screams "I'm in the middle of nowhere!" But is within minutes of everything you could possibly need. THIS IS IT! This is the best of both worlds!
Tucked back on 2 wooded acres with filtered lake views, your own fire pit and hot tub, and off the beaten path cabin vibes for days!
BUT, we are less than 10 minutes to Deep Creek State park for swimming and boating, 5 minutes to coffee shops, restaurants, bars, grocery stores. Less than 10 minutes to Wisp ski resort and all of the amenities it offers for all seasons!
Don't skip this one guys, it's everything.
*This is a REAL log cabin. It is rustic and has raw wood and logs throughout. As such, there is always the potential for critters, from mice to bears. There will always be some degree of dust between logs or a potential spider in the corner that makes his way in. This house has every modern amenity but is in some ways akin to advanced 5 star glamping.
Unfortunately, we get a lot of complaints about these things so we have taken all available steps to seal the house. But to some degree it is just the nature of this particular property.

Beautiful cabin and it was a great size for our family weekend at the lake. It is located extremely close to anything you could need and it was nice having 2 different options of a campfire location. The cabin was not as clean as we would have preferred, as we needed to sweep the floors and the dishes that were put away were dirty and needed to be re-washed before they could be used. There was a leak to the kitchen sink which leaked through to the basement, but communication with the property manager was easy and he
