Spring Break at the Lake
Our family enjoyed staying at this cabin over our spring break. The weather was cooler so the hot tub was a welcome past time in the afternoons & evenings. The owners put a lot of care into their property and it shows. There were plenty of kayaks, canoes, life jackets to select from and use. We enjoyed lunch on the back porch and took in the beautiful views of the lake. We would recommend staying here for the lake views, comfort, and convenience to the nearby town. We plan to visit again!

Cozy and Comfortable Cabin
My family (myself, my husband, and 2 daughters ages 14 & 11) had a wonderful time at The Owl's Nest. Dave and Pearle are amazing hosts - they provided so much information about the area and went above and beyond in more than one way for us! The cabin was exactly as described in a secluded cove right on the lake. It was so quiet and peaceful, and the owners have added so much to the cabin to ensure guests have a great experience. We enjoyed the hot tub, the substantial movie collection, outdoor games, classic video games and kayak despite the snowy weather! The pool access at nearly Garrett Community College was a huge bonus as well. The rooms are small but comfy and the cabin has plenty of furnishings and extras that allowed us to relax and worry about nothing! We'd love to come back to The Owls Nest again!

Deep Creek Getaway
I highly recommend! A very clean home with all the things you need for a relaxing getaway. The location on the lake is perfect with a hot tub to relax in and close to local trails and activities. The hosts were great and provided all the detailed information we needed and were available for whatever questions we may have had during our stay.

Come kayak with us. We leave 4 kayaks, 2 canoes, and 2 paddle boards for your use. We have had many happy travelers visit the Owls Nest and enjoy our quiet cove. My Canadian wife gets her skiing 'fix' at nearby Wisp. Our Canadian hobbies of wood carving and playing bagpipes show up in our decor of family made wood carvings, and bagpiper Christmas trees. We personally maintain and clean the home before and after each booking. We have many years of experience renting the Owls Nest. We try to be flexible with move-in and move-out times.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property because of the western exposure of the lakefront, location at the end of a peninsula with no drive-thru traffic, and clean, deep lake water on a quiet cove. The property is four miles from Lodestone and 6 miles from Wisp Ski Resort and offers year-round enjoyment. The lakefront location is perfect for all water sports. Our cove is out of the lake boat traffic. We provide canoes, kayaks, paddleboards, and life jackets to use at your own risk. Deepwater off our own dock is suitable for swimming and diving. Renters can dock boat(s), trailer parking on site.

What makes this property unique

Our intent is “safer than home”.
• Our property is our own separate lot, yard, decks, docks and hot tub
• Our dock is not shared with anybody. Use of our four kayaks, two canoes, two paddle boards is year round. Dock must be out of water December 1 - April 1.
• Our outdoor fire pit has starter bundle of firewood for your use.
• The Owls Nest has a private play structure, which is pressure washed often.
• Our hot tub water is fully (usually), or partially, changed with every rental. Owners have MD Commercial Pool/Hot Tub license. Instead of continually adding chemicals, we change water. We have changed to a more positive sanitizing schedule, based on bromine and dichlor based shock.
Safe lane for young bikers.

Between renters……
The cabin is completely misted inside with 4% Hydrogen Peroxide as renter leaves..
• All bedding is washed, between renters, not just sheets.
• Large pillows on the sofas have the covers washed between rentals.
• CDC cleaning guidance is being followed. We sanitize All surfaces, including leather sofas, chairs, dressers, tables with Lysol.
• Bathroom and kitchen appliances, All remotes, TV, DVD, fans, heaters/ AC, phone, computer monitor, keyboard and mouse are wiped with Lysol
• We have our own dry foam carpet cleaner, at the cabin.
The hour before the new renter comes in, the cabin, is misted again with 4 % hydrogen peroxide. All surfaces are re-fogged, with 4% hydrogen peroxide.

Local Restaurants now offer eat in, take- out and delivery. Outdoor eating is now common. Grocery stores in McHenry and Oakland (Walmart) have abundant food. Deep Creek Beveridge liquor store has a drive through and inside sales..
State parks are accessible for hiking. The Owls Nest allows you a safe, space and satisfying recreational activity, without having to having to engage in risky interpersonal contact.
