Perfect for our Intentions!
Needed a little getaway from the hectic holiday season! Place was delightful for the 4 of us [me, my husband, daughter/her boyfriend]. Our goal was fire place, hot tub, Christmas movies, games, food, football. While the location was excellent, we didn't venture out, by design, other than to walk the dogs around the block or to hit the coffee shop. We were very comfortable with the arrangement and had a lot of privacy, as it relates to sleeping arrangements. Our goal was to "be" together, so the set up was great for that.What we loved: host communication/accomodations, location, the place, itself, hot tub, we could bring dogs, fireplace, vibe of the cottage, bed was comfy. What wouldn't have worked for us if we were staying longer: 1 bathroom, centrally located, felt a little "vulnerable," kitchen was not THAT well-stocked [we brought a lot of our own stuff, per our preferences: crock pot, waffle iron]. "Kids" (25 & 22) The loft was great; but if you prefer some alone time, you still feel "involved" in the loft. We like to play cards and other games sitting around a table. While the LR was super cute, not quite configured to allow for that [although we definitely made do]The outdoor space/front porch was super cute; and would definitely give more space to hang/be alone in the warmer weather. Hot tub was nice and relaxing [and private]We had a wonderful time & would rent again!

Wonder Weekend Getaway
We had an amazing trip! The house was gorgeous—immaculately clean and incredibly cozy. We loved how conveniently close the property was to everything! Our favorite moments of the weekend included dinner at Uno's, a fun night out at the Honi Honi Bar, a delicious breakfast at Traders, and exploring the stunning sights at Deep Creek Lake and Swallow Falls State Park. We can't wait to return!

Couldn't ask for a better cabin for a little get away. Lots to do. The cabin and property were in A+ condition. No problems communicating with the property owners. This was our 2nd time at this location. We will definitely be back.

The cabin was very well-furnished, clean, and in a quiet, beautiful little neighborhood right near the lake. It is very close to several high-quality restaurants and hiking locations. This property is great for anyone looking for a quiet, comfortable getaway in nature.

This place would have been great if the bed were better quality. The mattress was so uncomfortable that we couldn't sleep. It was incredibly squeaky, has a huge dent in the middle, and seems a little small for a queen. We didn't want to endure bad sleep for the entirety of our vacation, so we cut our losses and went home the second day. The trip was a waste of time and money. The rest of the cabin was clean and set up nicely, but the bed ruined the experience.

Great Little Spot in Deep Creek
The Love Shack is a fun little get away spot at Deep Creek Lake. The property was very well maintained and located within a short distance of all that we wanted to see. Will rent again when we are coming back to the area.

The house was nice. The sofa is about worn out. The hot tub cover is broken. I think for the price per night there should be more cable channels. We did enjoy our stay.

The cabin is absolutely perfect for a couple or a small family. We relaxed, hiked around the area, and kayaked on the lake. Everything is very clean and Michelle made the check-in and check-out process extremely easy. We highly recommend this cabin and plan to return!

Great Place for a Weekend Getaway!
My wife and I stayed here to celebrate our 30th anniversary. The Love Shack was absolutely adorable with lots of rustic charm and it was very convenient to many things in the Deep Creek area. We hiked/biked two state parks and did some of the summer activities Wisp resort offered. There were several restaurants to choose from within a couple miles and we had some great dinners overlooking the lake. The home was perfect for our needs. We found the kitchen to be well stocked for preparing breakfast and lunch. It was very clean when we arrived. And, we enjoyed the hot tub after hiking. All is all, my wife and I had a great time and would stay here again if we come back to the Deep Creek area.

Loved the Love Shack
My family (me 45, wife 43, daughter 12, son 8) fit perfectly in the cozy confines of the cabin. It was easy to get to and a reasonable drive to everywhere we wanted to visit. We love the area and this time we tried horseback riding. We also went to Swallow Falls twice in our 4 day stay. Hot tub is a nice perk too. We had most of our meals outside on the front porch, so all 4 of us could sit at a table together. Very reasonably priced too. The hosts were very helpful and communicative. We would go here again.

Cozy Cabin
The cabin was very cozy and decorated very tastefully. The weather was cool while we were there so the hot tub, wood burning fireplace came in handy, and I enjoyed the gas firepit on the adorable front porch. The owners were pleasant to work with. The cabin had everything we needed to stay-in if we wanted and very close to some of the activities we planned as well as a bike ride away to some fun places/bars/restaurants. I loved that it was called the "Love Shack" but it's loft area makes it perfect for familes too!

Lovely!
Really great little boutique cabin in a stunning forested location! Only reason I gave 4 stars is because we Couldn’t use the Jacuzzi or the air conditioner or the barbecue, because the little patio deck that everything was on had a lot of mold-So turning on the AC would bring it into the house and being out on that little patio is impossible if you’re sensitive to mold. Also, the barbecue is on the same little patio.

Easter getaway
The cabin was perfect for my little family! I brought my 2 kids 11/12 here for an Easter getaway and we absolutely loved it!! Will definitely be coming back up before school starts up in the fall! The whole area is stunning and the setting for the cabin is very safe for bike riding and evening walks. This was my first time using vrbo but Michelle explained it all step for step and was very kind and easy to work with! Great hosts very accommodating!!
