About this property

Meant to Be | Pet Friendly + Serene Wooded Views & Fire Pit!

Choose Meant to Be and you are destined to have a truly memorable Deep Creek Lake vacation! Surrounded by trees, this dog friendly getaway is off-the-beaten-path yet still within a short drive from favorite activities.

The spacious main level has warm, wood accents, hardwood floors, and charming mountain decor. High ceilings and lots of natural light create a welcoming ambiance in the great room. You won't hesitate to sink into comfy furnishings in front of a crackling fire when you are ready to unwind.

Fully equipped, the kitchen has everything you need to make homestyle meals to please your crew. You can eat together at the dining table, and there is additional seating at the breakfast bar. Great food is sure to be accompanied by good conversation and lots of laughs. Doors open to the deck, so cookouts are convenient too.

After a day filled with hiking, swimming, or skiing, retire to the main level bedroom with a queen bed. It is decorated with a good night's sleep in mind. You will wake up refreshed and ready to explore the area.

Upstairs, the primary suite is a private haven where you can enjoy a little quiet time. Furnished with a queen bed and a TV, it is a great place to unwind at bedtime.

The lower level family room adds to your living space. It is outfitted with a TV and has a daybed with a twin trundle that can accommodate any extra guests you may have. There is also a bedroom with two twin beds on this floor. It has a sliding door that allows you to get some fresh mountain air any time you please.

Meant to Be has wonderful outdoor space with plenty of room for your pup or kids to play. Enjoy dining outdoors on the larger of the two decks. There is a second deck that is covered, so it can be used no matter what the weather. You will love having a fire pit, and it will quickly become a popular gathering spot for s'mores and stargazing.

Swallow Falls State Park is less than five miles from your doorstep. This is one of the area's best-loved attractions. Three stunning waterfalls make the perfect backdrop for your photos. Scenic hiking trails wind through the pristine forest and wildlife is abundant.

A ten to fifteen-minute drive takes you to restaurants, shops, mini golf, and more. Stop by a local marina to rent a boat for the day, and experience on the water fun! It is one of the best ways to see the sights.

Wisp Resort is well known for year-round adventures. There is something for every age and interest. Skiing, golf, snow tubing, ziplines, and a mountain coaster are just a few ways they will keep you entertained.

When you are in the mood for a "beach day", head to Deep Creek Lake State Park. They have a sandy beach for swimming, picnic tables in the shade, several playgrounds, and kayak and paddleboard rentals.

Meant to Be gives you a valued chance to unwind, unplug, and uplift your spirit! Plan your next trip to Deep Creek Lake today!

For your convenience, this home offers free wifi. Please note that this home has exterior security cameras.

Meant To Be

Overall, the house was wonderful! Well stocked with household items, plenty of space, cute decor, good location, comfortable! Only complaint is that only 1 out of 3 televisions were hooked up to cable. We called the realtor and 2 days later a person came out to the house. The man wasn’t able to figure out the issue.

Family vacation

Although the home was clean and we loved the outdoor area, we were disappointed in a few things that we were not expecting. My son loves to fish so wanted to bring his boat and after looking at several places before booking, i felt this one had the best parking option for this. The description of the property did not state that parking for boats was not available as this is a property for the deep creek lake area, i assumed that parking the boat there would not be an issue. After arriving we were informed that he would have to park the boat and trailer in an area 15-20 minutes away from the house. This was a hugh concern for my son and he was very uncomfortable with this. We were informed that this was somewhere in the rental agreement as a part of HOA agreement and it may have been but this was a specific area of concern when I was looking for a place to stay with my family so I would like to see it listed in the description so it is known before booking. The only other issue was the upstairs bathroom shower (the bathroom attached to the bedroom) the water was warm only . We were never able to get the shower hot so had to take our showers in the main floor bathroom that we intended for my son and DIL. We loved the firepit area and spent alot of time there.

Would stay here again, great place!

This property is tucked back for privacy but close to everything! Very clean, and the decor was impressive! We loved our stay and will definitely rent this home or from Taylor again. Super comfortable and relaxing. Especially enjoyed a fire both nights!

Enjoyable seclusion

Excellent property. Interior was well decorated for that "cabin" feel. The house was located in the "woods" but not far from things to do and close to the lake.

Great stay

Close to town, the lake and hiking. The house was clean and well supplied. Slept 4 adults very well. It may be a little tricky with small children because the twin beds are on lowest floor with a door to the outside. Just a consideration. We enjoyed our stay.

Relaxing stay in the forest

My family (7 people with one infant) had a very comfortable stay at this property over a summer weekend. We enjoyed eating on the deck. It was very serene and private, but also extremely close to the lake and everywhere we wanted to go. Our only gripe is that the knives in the kitchen were quite dull and three people cut their fingers during our trip, and we would have liked an additional cutting board for cooking. Be sure to bring your own salt, pepper, and cooking oil. However, all in all this was a wonderful stay!

Wonderful home for a getaway!

We loved the home and it’s location….wonderful layout for two families (two couples and three teens). Home had a great layout…lots of places to gather and enough space to retreat as well. Great location for restaurants and skiing at Wisp. We want to come back in warmer weather to make use of the outside decks and fire pit. Highly recommend.

The perfect place to stay for a family getaway!

Cozy, comfortable and tucked away making it the perfect place to stay for our family's getaway. Dog and toddler friendly. They even left out bowls for our dog and had plenty of kid friendly books to read from fireside. The inside was comfortable, spacious, and cozy for family game nights and meals. The outside deck, grill and fire pit made for relaxing evenings as we roasted smores and enjoyed the outdoors. As an added bonus it was only minutes from the lake, boat rentals, hiking, ice cream, and donuts for family fun adventures!

Rainy weekend at Deep Creek Lake

The property was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and the beautiful scenery. We found many enjoyable places to visit in spite of the rain.
