About this property

Blue Heron | Dog Friendly, Lakefront, Hot Tub

Lake living doesn't get better than this! Blue Heron is a charming and delightful 3 bedroom home that offers a phenomenal lake front.

Breathtaking lake views greet you from every angle the moment that you step in this one level of living home. The dark, glistening hardwood floors that flow throughout the double sided Great Room are perfectly highlighted by the sunlight that streams through the floor to ceiling windows. One side of the room serves as a wonderful entertainment area complete with comfortable furnishings and a TV for your viewing pleasure. The true captivating point of the home is on the other side of the room where you will spend many snowy evenings cuddling with your loved ones in front of the crackling wood fireplace. The additional wet bar adds to your entertainment convenience.

A fully stocked kitchen, adorably adorned, has everything you will need to whip up a quick lunch or pull together a massive buffet breakfast. Your dining area breaks up the middle of the room but allows you to enjoy stunning lake views while you dine.

You will feel like royalty when you step inside the primary bedroom. The large Queen sized bed will reassure that you will have a peaceful slumber but it is the extraordinary lake views that will greet you in the morning that will make it all worthwhile. Your 2 remaining bedrooms, one with 2 singles and one with a Queen are to the right of the kitchen as well a full bath. Your true lake adventure begins when you step outside.

A gentle grassy slope leads down to the water and your private dock slip. This easy walk in lake access makes this home the ideal choice for those with smaller children or those that prefer being close to the water's edge. Bring a boat or rent one from a local marina so you can fully take advantage of the plethora of lake activities that Deep Creek has to offer. Spend tranquil evenings relaxing in the soothing outdoor hot tub or make yummy s'mores around the chiminea outdoor area. Wisp Resort and state parks are just minutes away guaranteeing that you will have plenty to do. Spend the afternoon mountain biking or the morning tackling the ski slopes. Excitement and fun are all around you!

Call today to begin making your plans for your Deep Creek vacation in this marvelous lakefront home!

If your rental is listed as having a Boat Dock as an amenity provided with this property, this is subject to weather conditions, water levels, and other natural factors.

Cozy home and great view

We loved the fireplace which was well stocked. The sliding glass doors gave such a nice view of the lake. We saw lots of ducks and several eagles. The yard was great and right on the lake. The location was great and we had a really fun time. Comfortable place to read in front of the fire and enjoy the lake view.

Thanksgiving Weekend

Clean, close to the lake and accessible to State park for dog walks. Short ride to Arrowhead Deli, grocery and liquor store. Great fireplace. Has a hot tub but we did not venture out due to the extreme cold temperatures. Great new tv since the last time we stayed. Great weekend!

If you want rustic, this is for you

As all prior reviews say, the location is ideal. I’m all in for a rustic, log cabin feel, worn leather couches, building a fire, unplugging from work/school, and enjoying the beautiful lake (which you will do at the Blue Heron.) But… the coffee maker and washing machine did not work at all. The only usable TV I’d call “semi-smart” because the remotes wouldn’t work on it either so we ended up watching movies at night on our laptop. But there is a VHS player… All in all a super cozy house for a winter getaway but could do with some inexpensive upgrades to make it better for a family with kids.

Cozy lakeside lodge

The decor and layout were perfect for our family getaway. The hot tub and fireplace made for a very cozy winter retreat. Everything was well stocked and in good shape. The master suite was decadent with an amazing shower. One place for improvement would be better snow removal before our arrival. Decks and steps were icy and required a fair amount of effort on our behalf to be safely used.

Inputs

overall good and fun time. Improvements possible: 1) House is dark; with low bulb wattage and 2-3 lamps not working. 2) Too much furniture jammed into house. Not good for moving around and everyone was bumping their toes. 3) Entrance was very iced up when we arrived. we shoveled /salted walk way and shoveled complete deck. Thanks. Wayne

Great family time and location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great family time and location. Would like to suggest the following to make the inside of the house smell better while it is pet friendly. A few area carpets are very smelly we had to pull them out of the room and put them in the closet heavily stained. The smaller wall-to-wall carpeted area smelled as well would suggest ceramic tiling the bedroom areas as wet mop takes care of all that pet odor. We are glad to have our dog with us and thank you for allowing it to be pet friendly. Also the shrubbery around the deck is overgrown and blocks the view of the lake and perhaps cutting down some limbs from the trees along the lake view level would enhance beautiful lake views from the deck and house Love the house and thank you for allowing us to stay there

Can be a great place

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location and plot are perfect. We are also very thankful to the staff for retrieving and mailing to us two objects we forgot at the house while checking out. The house would be great (a great floor plan, good furniture, great porch, etc.) if not some maintenance defects: 1. a strong smell of cat urine at the entrance area when we arrived, 2. Bad smell in the master bathroom, and 3. Dirty washer/drier. After we contacted the company, staff was quick to fixed the first defect by removing smelly rags; the smell in the bathroom was masked by some strong chemical but still stayed the whole time. We didn't complain about the washer/drier, but we preferred not to use it.

Great Time at the Blue Heron

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Taylor-Made was easy to work with and very responsive to questions, etc. The Blue Heron is an almost perfect vacation home. Loved the lake view/access (fished from pier), the comfort of home (despite tight kitchen area, splintering deck and tight master bathroom), the jacuzzi and fire pit. The house is nicely decorated and offers books, board games and puzzles for rainy days. Nearby hiking was enjoyable as was renting a boat for the day. Thank you, Owners, for sharing your beautiful home.

Snowy weekend

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Blue Heron is a really pretty spot for a family vacation. Very convenient and nice decor. The bathrooms may need upgrading and the master shower is quite small, so this may not be the place for handicapped folks. Really pretty view from wall to wall Windows, but bring blankets. We will consider staying again.

Blue Heron

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Blue Heron is right on the lake and the property is beautiful. It was on a busy part of the lake, with a busy road directly across the lake from the house. However, the beauty of the property and lake proximity helped to overcome this somewhat. The kitchen was well equipped and the heat and AC worked well and the space was very comfortable. The only negative observation was that the cleaning crew for the house did only an ok job at cleaning the house. The wood supply provided was very minimal; one bucket of wood next to the fireplace. The outdoor wood pile did not have any wood, only decaying remnants of wood. The hot tub was great, very clean and we used it every night. We did have an issue getting into the property on arrival day with a 4pm EST check in. The entry code provided by the management company did not work until about 4:15pm, even though check in was 4pm. This caused us unnecessary concern, phone calls and wait times with the management company while we sat in the driveway of the property. It was explained to us that sometimes the "timer" for the code to access the property was a bit out of sync and that they could not control this. I was surprised in our highly technical world that a glitch like this could not be controlled. It just wasn't the best way to start the week. With that said, we had a very nice relaxing time and were very comfortable at the property. We spotted a very large black bear about 3 houses away from Blue Heron!
