Our family enjoys Chrismas here every year in this cozy retreat. My Canadian wife gets her skiing 'fix' at nearby Wisp. We personally maintain and clean the home before and after each booking. We have many years of experience renting the Owls Nest to travelers. We try to be flexible with move in and move out times and all money is refunded if given 45 days notice.
David and Pearle Howell purchased this cabin in 1987
Why David and Pearle Howell chose Oakland
We bought this property because of the western exposure of the lakefront, location at the end of a peninsula with no drive thru traffic, and deep lake water afforded year round because of close proximity to the dam. The property is four miles from Lodestone and 6 miles from Wisp Ski Resort and offers year round enjoyment. The location is perfect for all water sports.
What makes this cabin unique
The cabin is move in ready and left like a home so tea, coffee, napkins, toilet paper and basic essentials are already there. It is great quiet place to get a break from the city without a lot of preparation.

Lovely little cabin on a quiet cove!
Our family had a fantastic time enjoying the cute cabin and all the amenities. Our two teenage girls, my wife and I enjoyed the dock, swimming, kayaking, the fire pit and the hot tub! The cabin was well stocked with everything you need for a wonderful vacation. It is a perfect spot for a small family or couple to enjoy Deep Creek Lake.
Great location, cozy comfortable cabin.
This was the third time that we have stayed at the Owls Nest and we love the place. It's always clean, well stocked and perfect. Love the place!
It was a great place to stay.
The house was in a lovely area of deep creek. Relaxing night and days.
Perfect little getaway!
We loved our weekend at the Owls Nest! Everything we could have possibly needed was available. The location on the peninsula was very quiet and the lake cove was perfect for paddle boarding and kayaking. If we ever make it back to Deep Creek, the Owls Nest will be top on our list of places to stay!
Beautiful quaint cabin
Loved the owls nest! It was our first time there but we already want to go back. The owners thought of every detail to make you stay great !
Go once, and you'll want to go back
Hubby and I have stayed at many VRBO listings, and we can now easily determine if the lodging is lovingly cared for by the owners or simply a source of revenue. Owls Nest is definitely appreciated and well tended. This lake cabin feels like an old family friend, filled with nostalgia, memories, and emotes a comfortable sense of coming home for a relaxing stay. The Howells have outfitted the inside and outside of the cabin with everything conceivable to anticipate guest needs - fully outfitted kitchen with quality items, a large and eclectic video selection (many children's videos and a game system), many games, puzzles, and cards, numerous spices and kitchen basics, all the linens and towels you'll need (and nice quality too), firewood, kindling, and paper for inside and outside, and even the bathroom has product samples and soap. There were tissues, toilet paper, hand soap, dish soap, dish rag and towels, etc., virtually everything you would find stocked in your own home. The hot tub seemed brand new, and was a generous six person spa. There are Bose speakers that play music from TV selections outside, along with a high end Genesis Weber grill and tools. (And yes, gas provided, along with a spare tank just in case). There are numerous seating selections outside, on the deck, around the fire, facing the lake, or even on the double-wide dock. There were even special treats left inside as a gift, that I won't give away so you'll experience the surprise also. Dave and Pearle were friendly, easy to work with, and went beyond our expectations, even making sure kayaks, canoe, and dock were in early for our visit since we had expressed an interest. We are so grateful that they open their cozy cabin for guests and look forward to a return visit.
