Information

All was great. The check in process was good except we had a hard time finding the place with our google maps. It was actually on Bert Reams Rd. Rather than Swallow Falls Rd. Also, the inside back door handle kept coming off. Everything else was great and we had a great time.

Perfect scenery for a get away

This was the first vacation I have booked with a actual home to stay in. It was beautiful. The backyard is like a literal bird sanctuary. We saw so many pretty things. The jacuzzi was a plus after hiking swallow falls. The kitchen was perfect and it had all the utensil's and everything you need to cook meals without spending money to eat out. You could see every star in the sky at night time. Comfy beds too! Loved this property. We will be back in the future. :) thank you.

Great Home. Poor Management.

Loved the home itself. It’s secluded and very quaint. We had multiple mishaps happen during our stay and although Vacasa was responsive, there wasn’t much that could make our stay enjoyable since we had to call about the issues and then it took time to have someone come out and address them. We were told that we would receive a refund of the cleaning fee and hot tub fee which neither has been refunded and is not nearly comparable to the amount we paid to stay in the home. We waited a week from our contact with Vacasa about our stay to leave a review because the house is great just not well managed. We did not want to leave a poor review, however, Vacasa has now been unresponsive to our requests.

Celebrating Retreat

We loved it! Property was private, cabin was exactly as pictured but even better! Americana Decor was an added touch for the 4th of July. Was super clean. We used fire pit each night and the hot tub. You could hear Swallow Falls We would definitely recommend and would go back! Our first Vrbo experience, we were pleased!

Getaway? or Stay away?

First the good, the cabin was cute and cozy. The location was awesome, you can hear Swallow Falls from the rear deck. It is very secluded and private. Now for the rest upon arrival to the property we noticed that the hot tub was never cleaned. When we reached out the same night we checked in I spoke on the phone with a gentleman who was very nice and seemed sincere about the issue of the hot tub. He said they would get someone over ASAP to get it cleaned. No one ever showed up. I reached out multiple times for help on it and no one ever reached out or came to address the issue. I also reported issues with the cleanliness the first night of our stay. The sink had dry food I. It The fire table outside didn't work and neither did the inside fire place. Trash left all around the property, Lights flickering inside the cabin and loose/squishy floor boards. By far the worst rental experience I have ever had. Very disappointing that we didn't get to use any of the promised amenities that we wanted to use will not be back. You have been warned.

Snowy Weekend

Views are amazing. Cabin is cozy and comfortable. Unfortunately the hot tub was not clean. Didn't want to bother anyone with the weather we were having. Would have been nice if we could have used it, but overall would definitely stay here again. Very close to just about anything you would want to do or need.

Clean and great views

Perfect little cabin in the woods. Super clean and had all bedding/towels supplied. The hot tub was amazing and the back porch was roomy with a great view. You can hear the falls when outside and it was really cool. Huge fire pit and comfortable Adirondack chairs. Only suggestion would be to pack flashlights/lanterns. A storm caused a power outage for about 7 hours and once it got dark, you couldn’t even see your hand in front of your face. We found a flashlight, but the batteries were dead. We will definitely consider booking this place again in the future!

Beautiful & Relaxing!

My stay here was perfect! The house is beautiful and clean, and they do have a large AC unit in the living room so the house was nice and cool. The hot tub was also in great condition and was professionally cleaned just as I arrived. The property is totally private and surrounded by wildlife. The location was perfect (and easy to find) as it was just a 10-15 minute drive away from Deep Creek Lake State Park, restaurants, and shopping! This was the perfect choice for a relaxing weekend away! I would absolutely stay here again!

Great cabin for a weekend getaway! Everything you need for some downtime. Seems like you are in the middle of nowhere plenty of privacy to enjoy just setting on the deck or taking advantage of the hot tub and fireplace. Hearing the falls in the background was very relaxing p

Cabin Review

The cabin was cute and cozy and perfect for a couples get a way! Hearing the falls provided even more of a relaxing experience. The hot tub was clean and easy to use. The mattresses were pretty firm, so it wasn’t the best sleep, since I personally sleep more comfortable with a mix of soft and firm mattress. However, the total experience was worth it. There were even multiple small touches that made the cabin feel like home, such as board games, multiple blankets, and cute decor.
