About this property

✩✩ Cozy 9-Sleeper, Private Hot Tub, Prime Location ✩✩

Welcome to On The Rocks – Where Comfort Meets Chaos (the fun kind)

Just 2 miles from the water (aka where all the fun happens), our 1,650 sq. ft. hideaway is the perfect combo of woodsy peace and “OMG this place has a hot tub!” vibes. Bring the whole crew—friends, family, that one cousin who never unpacks—we’ve got room.

Got pets? Bring ’em! Just add them to your reservation (we love them, but our cleaners don’t want surprise furballs).

Winter guests: Between December and April, you’ll want a 4WD or AWD vehicle unless you’re into slipping and sliding for sport.

Bedrooms Breakdown:
• Master Suite: King bed, smart TV, and a closet inside the bathroom cabinets (yes, it’s weird, yes, it works).
• Guest Room 1: Queen bed, smart TV, good vibes.
• Guest Room 2: Double bunk + trundle = sleeps 5 humans or 47 children (estimated).

Kitchen Shenanigans:
• Island with seating for 4 hungry snackers
• Dining table for 8 dramatic family dinners
• Keurig for caffeine emergencies (pods included, you’re welcome)

Living Room Life:
• 2 couches and a double recliner (dibs on the good seat)
• Smart TV for bingeing whatever show you’re lying about having already seen
• 400 Mbps WiFi—so fast it practically does your taxes

Outside Things:
• Huge yard for frolicking or epic dog walking
• Fire pit for s’mores or intense ghost stories
• 6-person hot tub (or 8 if you’re very, very close friends)
• Pull-down privacy screen—because no one needs an accidental neighbor sighting
• Picnic table, grill, patio furniture, parking for your whole caravan

Bonus! We provide the linens, towels, blankets, and even a washer/dryer—so you can pack like a minimalist (or just re-wear the same hoodie all weekend).

On The Rocks was a nice place with a roomy kitchen and pretty living room. It could use some cleaning supplies on hand like a broom, and the appliances struggle a bit (e.g. dryer screeching noise, hot water struggles to keep up, sink in master leaks), but nothing that got overly frustrating for a weeklong stay.

Deep Creek Vacation

Check-in was a breeze. Great location. Quiet surroundings. Kitchen well stocked. Only small glitch was that our coffee drinkers didn’t realize until the am that most of the keurig pods were decaf. Appreciated the flowers, chocolate, nuts, and wine samples. Hot tub was great. Beds were comfortable. Loved the open floor plan. Also enjoyed the deck and outdoor picnic table.

Nice place to stay

Easy check-in; was clean; plenty of towels/wash rags; hot tub worked great; liked the outdoor lighting (however the timer turned it off early). Recommendations: would be great if you could include some firewood, master bedroom remote did not have batteries. Those were minor, everything else was great. Thank you very much!

Nice Location!

Nice location close to everything! The place was very clean and had plenty of room. Had a few hiccups with the hot water sulfur smell which was fix in a day!! The other hiccup was the hot tub. Just was not clean to our standards. The owner got the company out to fix but it just honestly needs drained and scrubbed. Owner was very prompt on responding!

Getaway work-cation

Shannon's property nestled amongst the trees was the perfect backdrop for some remote working for the week (wonderfully strong wifi), while enjoying the peace and quiet in the evenings. A well stocked home from the kitchen and living room to the bath and bedrooms meant nothing was overlooked. Shopping and restaurants are about a 6 minute drive and the hot tub on the back deck provided the perfect end to each day. I'd have zero hesitations about staying here again. Thanks for providing us a home away from home that we could enjoy with our 4 legged fur-baby!

Great Spot

We enjoyed our stay here (2 adults, 2 children under 12yrs old, 1 puppy). The neighborhood has a campground feel, which we liked. It’s quiet and secluded, but it’s also only six minutes from the lake, grocery store, gym, and many attractions for the kids. Check-in and out were super easy. We had zero issues with wifi while running multiple devices. The fire pit and lights hanging from the trees around the deck and pit are a nice touch. So too are the logs cut as benches for sitting around the fire. Thanks for having us, Shannon =)

Kickback Weekend

This home matched the pictures exactly but even better it’s the small details once you check in. Linens are provided but they are very nice bath towels, each sink has a refillable soap dispenser with great smelling soap, each shower has a bath wash, shampoo and conditioner dispenser, kitchen was stocked with towels, dish rag, new sponge, soap, pods, paper towels, trash bags, living room has lots of games to pick from. I know this may seem silly to most but this just shows a host that took the time to care about the little details just as much as the big ones. Would highly recommend this home. Also host is very polite and quick to answer any questions.

Super fun Dog Vaca in Deep Creek!

The property was easy to find and access, and in a great location. A quick 8-minute drive to Shop n Save for groceries. We also got coffee and ice-cream from the same plaza. Cherry Creek Trail was just as a close and a lot of fun to hike especially in the snow. The hot tub was serviced the morning of our arrival and provided a relaxing soak after a long afternoon of hiking. We loved the open floor concept. The kitchen had almost everything we needed to prepare meals. The hand soaps at every sink, paper towels, and toilet paper provided were much appreciated. We also loved the outdoor string lights that were on a timer. The host was in contact with us throughout our stay to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and answer any questions we had. We ended up not using the fireplace although I wanted to and got helpful tips from the host just in case. The king size bed was very comfortable! Although the house was recently updated, there were a few things that could use some maintenance. Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay. We had a great time!

Secluded bliss!

We recently spent 3 nights at this property. To note, we spent well over 2 months reviewing nearly 100 properties in the Deep creek area. This property provided the size, amenities, and location ( secluded) but was near all the surrounding activities, restaurants, beach, boat rentals etc. Although we did not need the 3 bedrooms; we wanted a property with an open space inside and out. This home was just what we were looking for. We used all the amenities including the outdoor grill and the fire pit. We did use the hot tub and were pleased that the man responsible for maintaining (cleaning/disinfecting) the tub was there the afternoon that we arrived. It was great to have the back covered deck to read since it was raining at times. The living, kitchen and bedroom areas were well kept. The king-sized bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable. We had no issues streaming our favorites shows on the TV in the living room. The large bathroom with perfect with dual sinks for our toiletries. We did use the laundry facilities once and were grateful that the laundry soap was supplied. The kitchen was large with a lot of cabinet space and counter space for cooking (which we did as well). This property was a gem of a find and an easy drive from the Pittsburgh area. We will be back.

Quiet fishing retreat

I am a MD Fly Fishing Guide and I stumbled on to this place when looking for a quality house to rent for a weekend retreat. It was perfect located, for the fly fishing/trout we were looking to do. The house was clean, spacious, inviting, and overall a very good place to stay. They have all the little things from cookware, to linens/towels, toiletries, and more! After a long day on the river it was nice to relax in the hot tub. Shannon was very quick and responsive to any questions I had. I appreciate the note and snacks too. Thanks for allowing us to stay at your wonderful home!

A True Holiday Treat

We were so excited for our post Christmas family getaway and “On The Rocks” totally delivered. The house was nicely decorated for Christmas, which was a huge plus for everyone. The location is just right, with easy access to shopping and entertainment. One of those vacations where leaving was tough and conversations about when we could come back were already being had. Thank you so much for your hospitality! The Duganclan
