About this property

Minutes from Deep Creek Lake, Located on 24-acre farm with private 1-acre lake

Country Acres Retreat has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths plus an additional sleeping area and sleeps up to 12 persons. Also available within a few hundred feet, if needed, is a pavilion with picnic tables, chairs, gas grills, and a campfire circle of large rocks for relaxation, story-telling, or reminiscing. The pavilion can be reserved for family reunions, weddings, church events, etc. Please inquire for pricing.

This cabin features a full hickory kitchen with an eat-in bar area, and includes an electric range, microwave, blender, dishwasher, lots of silverware, plates, glasses, cooking utensils, and much more.

The Great Room features a rustic, native sugar maple hardwood floor which still shows the tap holes made by the 'sugaring' process years ago. The Great Room is furnished with a sofa, love seat, recliner, and a large, 'antique' plank-style table with a bench and chairs seating from ten to twelve people.

A tastefully decorated full bath and a bedroom with a queen size bed is on the main floor. One is struck by the rustically beautiful wooden floors, ceilings and trim.

The loft affords a beautiful view of the one-acre lake, and includes a king-sized bed, and additional sleeping space of two single beds on rollers for those 'extra,' younger guests.

The ground floor includes a bedroom with a king bed , a bathroom with a shower, and a utility room with a washer and a dryer. There is a twin over full bunkbed in the utility room. Rounding out the ground floor is a twin daybed with a twin trundle, a cot, a TV on 210+-channel Xfinity service plus the Pittsburgh local channels, and a DVD player. A pack-n-play also available as needed. Again, there is a beautiful view of the water.

** New in 2020 is stamped concrete and Breeo Fire Pit below the cabin near the lake, perfect for sitting and relaxing while viewing the lake.

SPECIAL NOTE: All linens, towels, toilet tissue, and coffee are provided with the rental charges as a convenience to our guests!

This Cabin is NO SMOKING and NO PETS !
FREE Wireless Internet
We have a Ring Doorbell at the front door facing the parking area that will be turned on.

The outdoor spaces are shared with our guests from our two other rental spaces that are 300 yards away, our family, and our friends. The pavilion may be reserved by others for family reunions, church events, weddings, etc. It may only be reserved for weddings when the cabin is also rented by the same group. If it is not already reserved for an event, you may reserve the pavilion for yourself and the cabin guests only at a reduced rate if you wish to not have any other groups at the pavilion during your stay. Please inquire for pricing.

Cozy Spring Break Getaway
My family of four met up with my parents for a three-night stay at this lovely cabin. We all had a comfortable place to sleep and plenty of space for playing games and sharing meals. We loved exploring the property. My husband fished, my daughter kayaked, and the rest of us enjoyed walks. Ken was a quick and thoughtful communicator. He answered our questions helpfully each time.

About the host

Hosted by Ken & Cheryl Maust

Host profile image
I, Ken, grew up in Accident, MD on this farm. In 1995 I moved to Nashville, TN to take a job as a Road Manager/Sound Engineer for many different artists. This took me to all 50 states and about 15 countries. In Nashville, I met my wife Cheryl who was working for the management company of George Strait, Lee Ann Womack, Dierks Bentley, and others. She also went to school for interior design.
We got married in 2002 and now have 4 children. After the children came along, I decided I no longer wanted to be on the road all the time, so I got a "real job" in the building industry designing homes. In 2014 we decided to move back to Accident, MD.
We both love having guests over and enjoy cooking. Sipping a fresh cup of hot coffee on the front porch while watching the deer and wild turkeys is an enjoyment of ours. Cheryl's parents both moved to the US from Cuba in the 1950's so Cheryl's first language was Spanish. Cheryl grinds her own flour and bakes fresh bread regularly. Her homemade pizzas will rival any pizza shop! One of her passions is to take old furniture or other objects and take her artistic touch to turn them into something new, useful and exciting! She also enjoys oil painting when she gets the opportunity.
While I now spend much of my time working from home designing houses, I also mix sound at a local state university where they bring in various national/international artists.

Why they chose this property

I am one of nine children who grew up on this farm. When I was in middle school my dad and I planted the white pines that now surround the cabin. A few years later we built the pond so that we would have water to irrigate our strawberry fields. Several of us kids moved out of the area when we grew up and my dad and mom decided to build this cabin so that their kids would have a place to stay when we came back home to visit.
The construction of the cabin was a labor of love by my dad, my siblings, in-laws, and some friends. Some of the hemlock boards used for the siding and trim came from trees off the farm. My parents decided to extend their hospitality and make the cabin available to people outside of the immediate family. Many have made this their vacation home year after year!
My father was a school teacher, a pastor, and a farmer. He passed away in 2002 and since then the cabin has been managed by Ida, my mom, along with help from the kids. At age 88 she decided that it was too much for her to manage and that it was time to sell it to one of her kids. She still likes meeting the guests when they stop by the farmhouse...
In Feb 2022 Cheryl and I were blessed with the opportunity to purchase it from her and continue the tradition! We feel that it is too nice of a place to just be enjoyed by one family and we want to share it with you and others! We want others to also be able to escape the craziness in the world and to be able to relax and be refreshed by the peace and beauty in nature - at least for a while...

The area is quiet and private, yet close enough to enjoy the local attractions and the mountains of Western Maryland.

What makes this property unique

The cabin is fully furnished, heated, and overlooks our private 1-1/2 acre lake. There is a firepit between the cabin and the pond that is available to use.

Also available within a few hundred feet, if needed, is a pavilion with picnic tables, chairs, gas grill, and a campfire circle of large rocks for relaxation, story-telling, or reminiscing. There is a sand volleyball court near the pavilion.

We also have the Butterfly Suite that sleeps 5-6 and the Board Room that sleeps up to 9 a few hundred yards across the field. This works great for family reunions, weddings etc.

A number of weddings have also been held on the farm in the beautiful setting of the lake area.

Whether you are seeking a peaceful retreat, a romantic getaway, or simply want to experience a natural wonder, you will find what you are looking for at the Country Acres Retreat.
