Can't wait to go back!
This was my family's second trip to the Owl's Nest. We love the location and numerous amenities provided. The house is extremely clean and stocked with everything you may need. Dave and Pearle give helpful information about the surrounding area and are easy to reach if needed. Would highly recommend the Owl's Nest!

Anniversary Trip
This cabin was perfect and at the very top of our list of places we have stayed. It was very clean and fully stocked with everything you need. The hot tub, fire pit, games, kayaks, paddleboards, canoes, etc were perfect. You don’t need to bring anything. It’s all there. The owners take great care in making sure you feel welcome and have everything you need.

Wonderland by the Lake
This was our first trip to Deep Creek Lake and it couldn't have been better. Quiet, peaceful, and beautiful. The cabin is perfect for a couple or small family and had everything we could have possibly needed and then some. My wife loved the Alice in Wonderland garden and the two local ducks seemed to love her, to the point of jumping onto the dock anytime they saw her there and even following her up into the yard. We got a lot of use out of the kayaks during the day and spent the nights by the fire and in the hot tub. Chipmunks chasing each other through the yard, butterflies everywhere, and a very quiet part of the lake. It was perfect. Can't wait to come back. We would definitely stay here again.

Anniversary getaway
The place was percect for a quiet getaway. We enjoyed the hot tub sitting on the deck watching seemed like the same doe graze the yard. Enjoyed sitting by the lake watching the ducks. We checked out several places which were great. Only thin I'd change if possible would be an earlier check-in but, cleaning can take aome time. Wonderful host that offered games, movies, kayaks, playset, lovely garden trail, and everything you need for smores.

Owls nest Honeymoon
We were so happy to see this property was true to the description. The place is beautiful. I loved all the little details in the yard, from the walking path to the carvings. So much to see and do, no matter the weather. The owners were very good at communicating with us and they literally thought of everything. You literally need to just pack your personal belongings. We definitely want to come back again. Maybe we will get lucky and make this our anniversary spot for years to come. Thank you for your hospitality and all the love and detail you put into your home and then to share it with others to enjoy!

Tranquil Retreat
What a wonderful, relaxing, tranquil retreat. David and Pearle were such gracious hosts, providing so many amenities for our comfort/enjoyment. Morning coffee on the dock and evenings in the hot tub with beautiful lake views were a great way to start and end each day. We enjoyed roasted marshmallows and s'mores by the campfire. The information binder on the counter was so helpful, especially for giving us ideas of places to visit in the area, such as Swallow Falls State Park, Deep Creek State Park, and Fallingwater. Owl's Nest was the perfect place for us to rest, relax, and recharge. Thank you for sharing your little piece of paradise with us!

Perfect get away
Very cozy location. My wife and I stayed for our anniversary and enjoyed our stay. The hot tub was amazing and very clean. It was the perfect place for us and we would definitely recommend it. The only thing I would change would be to have a larger shower but it served its purpose. Great place with plenty of activities for all ages.
