About this property

Amazing Private Lakefront with Hot Tub, Fire Pit, and Dock!

Ashford By The lake delights! This split lakefront home contains two lots, split by the quiet Rock Lodge Road. On one side of this quiet road lays your home's private lakefront with fire pit, picnic table, and private dock. One the other side of the road is the home itself, just steps away. Rest assured that the lakefront is all yours when you book this beautiful home— and you'll want to spend every minute outdoors! You can even enjoy the view of the lake from the home's front deck, which comes with an outdoor dining set, grill, and bubbling outdoor hot tub. Ashford By The Lake is a great home for anybody hoping to boat, kayak, or swim on the lake as it is located along a quiet cove of the lake, limiting the amount of boat traffic to disturb your waters! If you want a well-appointed, comfortable home with a fantastic lakefront location, then Ashford By the Lake is surely the one for you!

* Winter Advisory: Deep Creek is a mountainous region that experiences more snowfall and ice than you may be used to. Many roads and driveways can be steep. 4WD/AWD vehicles are advised in the winter months. *

Sleeping arrangements: 3 queen beds, 1 king bed, 1 full sleeper sofa

Great location and fabulous house!

We spent almost a week here and it was fantastic. Lori was a great host and super responsive. The dock was easy to get to (stairs or the driveway down from the house itself, then a graded path down to the water), and we also enjoyed the firepit and hot tub. It was a perfect location for a water trampoline, too!

Escape at Deep Creek

It's always wonderful to vacation with family at Deep Creek Lake. This house and the setting were beautiful! Service from the rental agency was great; prompt replies to my questions. I have to say, the towels were the softest ever from an agency!! And we loved arriving to beds already made up! We loved it!

Ideal Deep Creek get-away place

A wonderful place at a quiet area of Deep Creek. We loved the house and the accessibility to the water and the hiking trails at the park. The house was ideal and the kitchen was remarkably well equipped. All bedrooms were large and nicely appointed and we appreciated that each had a bathroom. Communication with Red Barn made everything work smoothly. Overall, a perfect place for a family get together at Deep Creek.

The location was great, a bit deceiving in photos of the distance between the house and the lake. The house was “clean enough”, however there were two bags of linen that lay on the front deck for our entire stay. The blinds and ceiling fans are covered in dust and the drawers and cupboards in the bathrooms need cleaned out and wiped down, ( there are random towels and washcloths as well as empty soap bottles). The bathroom drawers had hair and other lint in them. The master shower had mold between tiles and along the caulking. Overall we had a great time and I did do some extra cleaning on arrival

Not very clean, not well maintained and no hot water for 3 days and the best they offered was showers at the community college nearby. No, “We are so sorry, what can we do?” Then, communication was sporadic. Not sure who the real host was but the management company needs better cleaners and needs to re caulk and grout showers and tubs. Clean up all the bugs by windows and window sills…

This property is absolutely beautiful! It appears brand new. It was sparkling clean. There was upscaled, comfortable furnishings throughout the whole house and nice decor. The whole process of booking through check-in and checkout was smooth and communication with the Red Barn was excellent. I would highly recommend it!

Enjoyable family break

We loved our stay at this property - the house has a great layout, beautiful view and a hot tub is always a hit. The shared spaces were great for our two-family group to hang out together and have a separate basement space for the kids to play and watch tv. Everything bc was clean and the kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cookware. Would definitely recommend this house!

Hello Mary. Appreciate your feedback! If you come stay again, please let us know if the cleanliness isn't up to snuff or if an item needs to be replaced. We would have gladly helped remedy the situation during your stay to make you more comfortable! We have deep cleaned the property and heard good feedback about the home's cleanliness from guests since then, so we are proud to report that the house is currently in great shape! Toaster has also been replaced and knobs repaired. Quick note on the trash cans for future guests: the trash bins are located in bear-proof trash enclosures at the end of the driveway, in order to protect the trash from being rifled through by our critters. These are essential in Deep Creek!

Great Family Spot in Deep Creek

Great stay with lots to do in the area - even in between the ski and summer seasons. Lots of space in the house for our family of five and plenty of room to add more. The lake location was great for a nightside fore and dinner by the lake.
