We stayed for a long weekend at “Almost heaven”. We really enjoyed the location- just a walk across the street to enjoy the dock and small beach area! (We brought our kayak and paddleboards and were able to just walk them over to get on the lake!) The location is great for a trip to the state park and close to town for necessities. We also enjoyed a fire out in the beautiful fire pit! The house was plenty spacious for our family trip (8 adults and 2 kids)Kathy was very prompt to respond to any questions!
The house and property were very nice, they definitely need to install more air conditioning units on the middle and bottom floor. Other than that it was a great place to stay!

Hi Shane, thank you so much for the review. We actually have it scheduled this weekend to have another mini split put in downstairs with 24,000 Btu which should cool it off quite nicely in the house with the other one.
About the host
Hosted by Kathy Thayer
My husband and I have been vacationing with our family in Deep Creek Lake for over 35 years and we love it here, so we decided to buy a house here and use it for a vacation rental.
Why they chose this property
We love this neighborhood because it's quiet and very kid friendly. Also we have the best neighbors with a very safe atmosphere.
What makes this property unique
We have a lot of parking space on a pretty level lot. We also have a nice spacious yard to play in with a large firepit. We also have a nice community beach area just steps from our house where you can take your lawn chairs and sit by the lake.
