Looking for a getaway in Maryland?
The Birds’ Nest is a tastefully decorated, romantically secluded lake-view vacation home at Deep Creek Lake, Maryland. It’s an enchanting choice for a special occasion: honeymoon, wedding anniversary, girls’ weekend, or just a quiet escape.
Summer rentals run from Sunday to Sunday.
You bring your lovebird; The Birds' Nest will provide the atmosphere!
Nestled among tall oaks and lush rhododendrons, this tastefully decorated, 2-bedroom home is conveniently located at 296 State Park Road for year-round accessibility. It is 0.6 miles from Deep Creek Lake State Park and approximately 6 miles from The Wisp Ski Area. The charming little town of Oakland is about 5 miles away.
The lakefront, across the road from the property, offers one of the best views of the lake — the sunsets and star-watching are magical! You may swim or launch your kayak from here, though there is no dock facility.
The downstairs of The Birds' Nest has a well-equipped kitchen, one bathroom, a living room with a propane fireplace insert, a study area with WiFi access for your laptop computer, and a bedroom (double bed). Upstairs is a large bedroom (queen-size bed and a futon) with a sitting area overlooking the woods, a walk-in closet, a half-bath with washer and dryer, and a surprise nightlight! A flat-screen television with satellite connection, a DVD player (with video library), and a CD player are located in the living room downstairs.
High-quality bed linens and towels are supplied at no extra charge; bring your own toothbrush!
Relax in the sunken hot tub in a very private resort-like setting after a day of outdoor activities.
Enjoy the landscaping and seasonal waterfall on the property.
The deck offers a view of the lake and has a picnic table with a gas grill. There is a fire-ring outside The Birds’ Nest for toasting marshmallows and telling tall tales!
We welcome your house-trained family dog, too. Fee required per animal. There is a new dog park beside the HART For Animals facility in McHenry which is free for use.
Wild animals love this location and visit regularly. We do ask, however, that you do not feed the bears!
Our goal is to fulfill the need for a superior rental vacation home that is not a “McMansion”! The house is 900 square feet of well-planned space with high-quality furnishings. It sleeps four people comfortably, with separation between the bedrooms for privacy.

A great week!
My wife and I had a great stay at the birds nest. It was the perfect spot for us right across from the lake on a fairly quiet street and the house was just the right size for the two of us and our dog. The hot tub was warm and cozy on the first few nights that were chili, and the sunsets over the lake were beautiful every night. This really is an ideal location just a stones throw from the state park in One Direction and a slightly longer throw of a stone to Garrett Highway Where all the action is. It was the perfect mix of quiet and convenient and we couldn't have asked for more. Polly is wonderful and gracious host and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay.
Wonderful getaway in the woods
We had a great getaway at this lovely home tucked away in the woods. The beds were very comfortable, and it comes equipped with everything you could need. We had planned on going out for dinner, but ended up cooking at the house, making for a very relaxing weekend. The hot tub was the icing on the cake! We would come back here in a minute. Thanks!
Outstanding vacation!
We had an amazing long weekend (Nov 4-8) at the Birds Nest. This place is a gem ! We found it warm and cosy, inviting for full relaxation! Our teen boys enjoyed the place and surroundings very much. The weather was great, so they had a blast playing basketball in the State Park across the lake (less than a mile walk)! The evenings we stayed by the fire and used up a lot of Polly's wood, while the boys were soaking in the hot tub! The cottage is extremely well kept and if you forgot your reading materials, there are many great books available. The DVD collection includes many famous films, but we didn't have time to watch much! The CDs are also great, with lots of classical music, and gems such as Sarah Brightman bringing back memories of the UK and the 90s! Polly is a great host and such a pleasure to meet her and chat! We'll definitely come back for a longer stay to enjoy the area and do even more hiking and sight seeing! Bogdan and family
Great location on Deep Creek Lake. Bird's Nest is most appropriate name.
The owner made our whole trip from booking property through our time at Deep Creek a great experience. We were a few minutes from Deep Creek State Park so hiked there one to two times a day. Also within short drive from many other activities. The interior was very comfortable for us (two people and senior dog). The location in the trees and the decorations made us feel like we really were nestled in a Bird's Nest. Thank you for a much needed relaxing vacation.
Awesome place to stay!
As always we had a wonderful relaxing time at this little hideaway in the woods. You are such a gracious hostess. You always make sure our needs are met. We so much enjoy spending time with you as well. We will keep in touch to make sure you are doing well. We plan on seeing you again same time next year. You are our special long distance friend.
Home away from home!
Thank you so much for the beautiful and relaxing weekend! We were thrilled to find such a comfortable home away from home to enjoy a long weekend with our family and celebrate our anniversary. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay or better hospitality. We hope to come back soon!
