Great cabin by the lake

It was perfect for our weekend stay. A lovely cabin on the hill with views of the lake and great lawn space for kids and pets. The space is clean and comes with linens, towels, and kitchen accessories, making it easy to have a quick or extended stay.

Rain and cold weather altered our plans, so we spent the majority of time at the lake house. However, it was now disappointment! The house is clean and cozy with all of the amenities of home. We had game night, sat around the fire circle and loved the view. My son brought his dog and this place is wonderful for pets!We could not have been happier. Will definitely be back!

Great Location. Super Friendly owners.

Located on the main strip. It's a quick and easy drive to just about anywhere in deep creek. Cabin was nice with lots of little amenities. Easy access to the lake right across the road. Great yard space and lots of porch. Pet friendly! Owners are easy to communicate with and great help with any questions or issues.

Nice affordable getaway

For the first time, my wife and I booked a trip with VRBO, and we were incredibly satisfied with our house, as well as our host. We loved that it is pet friendly! This was, as advertised, a lakefront house with many amenities including a hot tub, a fire pit, beautiful bedrooms (including towels and linens), a wonderful living room area, and an expansive kitchen. We also had a private dock on the lake, which was just a short walk down the driveway and across the street. The house was also within a ten minute (or less) drive of major restaurants and places of entertainment. Just a couple of potential improvements: only one of the two televisions worked, and it was not the one in the living room, so standard TV watching was not available. Also, other people were using the pier over the weekend, so it wasn't fully ours. But overall - we had a GREAT time at a GREAT house. We would definitely book with this host again.

Beautiful View across lake - Centrally Located

We were very happy with Terri's house. She was very accommodating and responded very quickly. The house sits on the hill above the lake but right on 219 so it is easy to get to. Beds were comfy and the towels were soft! I'm tall so I had to watch my head in the basement where the larger bedroom is. Full washer dryer set in basement though was helpful after our hike and kayaking! Large circular drive for our three large vehicles. Could easily gotten a fourth in there. A bit of a tight driveway up the hill but not a problem for my son's huge Ram Truck. The kitchen is stocked with cookware and gadgets. My foodie adult kids enjoyed that. The house has AC; but up in the trees the breeze was nice, so open windows if you can. Fire Pit and Hot Tub were a hit with the family. We were able to use the docks across the street to launch our kayaks - convenient! (But be careful crossing 219) Will definitely stay here again. Thanks Terri!

About the host

Hosted by Terri Startare

Host profile image
We are from southwestern PA just below Pittsburgh and enjoy making people as comfortable as possible. While on vacation or just a weekend getaway, This is the Space to enjoy it all. We are athletic and like to hike boat bike ski and also also relax and listen to music around an open fire All while enjoying the fantastic views

Why they chose this property

we just put a brand new huge 300° deck on the property which will allow for the most astonishing views, both sunrise and sunset. While you can see all the views from the property, it is secluded and cannot be seen from the road or the lake. We enjoy a large wrap around Governor Drive with plenty of parking for all your family and friends.

What makes this property unique

we are right on the water, but secluded and private yet close to all the amenities you could ever want. We are very affordable with all the amenities you could possibly imagine.
