About this property

Luxury Riverfront Lodge sleeps 25 w/ Saltwater Pool, Great for Family Reunions

*We are under contract to add a pool this fall so bookings starting May 2025 we will have a heated pool....pictures will follow soon

*Most of our bookings are 2-4 generation family gatherings which is what the lodge was designed to host.

*Our cancellation policy is a little different than the limited options offered by VRBO. If you need to cancel & we can rebook your dates, we return 100% of what we are able to recover on your behalf. Your deposit is 100% non-refundable if we are not able to rebook your dates. VRBO's boxes only included strict policy or no-refund and neither describe what we have in our contract. We set this up according to how VRBO instructed us to.

*There are now 3 private bedrooms with doors & sound proofing on the 3rd floor as of 6-2023 instead of a large open loft area.

*Host has 15+ years of managing & maintaining VRBO 5 star rating through 3 different rentals that served 20-25 guests each

*We have 3 night minimum all year except the summer months we prefer 7 night minimum. Contact owner to discuss further as needed.

*6000 square foot lodge sleeps 20-25; 20+ beds

*10 bedrooms with main lodge & luxury tiny house which is ~100 feet from lodge; (small additional fee required if add tiny house); 8 of 10 bedrooms have privacy doors & are not common areas; 8 full bathrooms & 2 are ADA compliant;

*Parking for 20 or more vehicles

*8 miles to Deep Creek Lake area & boat rentals

*Whitewater rafting close to lodge through commercial outfitters - all skill levels

*Hiking from lodge in woods on river trail or in town

*Personal concierge to help with pre-planning

*Luxury tiny house is dog friendly and the main lodge is NOT dog friendly. The tiny house is within 100 ft of lodge and is upscale. It has 2 queens, full bathroom w/ 4' shower, & a small kitchen with full size refrigerator. There is an additional flat fee of $500 to add the Luxury Tiny House regardless of the number of nights rented. It isn't included in the pricing noted on VRBO.

*Out of respect for guests with allergies, the main lodge ISN'T pet/dog friendly except the Pavilion Bedroom Suite which has a separate entrance. The entire Tiny House is dog friendly.

*Full disclosure: VRBO's system shows base rates as the price per night at first glance but the base price doesn't reflect the addition of fees so please look deeper for the overall price. For instance, the cleaning cost is $850 (takes 40-50 hours); the laundry fee is $500 (towels & linens for 20+ guests and 20+ beds), taxes which are a pass through to the county & state & VRBO's service fee are not reflected in the base price posted as the daily rate.

Magical

Wonderful in every way.The property, the house, the host, the location, the river, the horses, the farm dog, the hot tub, the way everything is provided and every switch and drawer / door is labelled - it's been a fantastic way to spend a few days with a large group of family and friends. No complaints at all.

Absolutely an amazing place

We had the most amazing time with a large (20) group of people. The house is so big that no one was at their face. The kids had plenty of space to run around. And the owner is an absolute sweetheart. She was so accommodating and even let the kids pet her houses. The dogs are such a delight too. I will go back there in a heartbeat.

First ever family reunion trip

We stayed at Stillwater Haven for our first ever family reunion trip. The house and surrounding property easily accommodated our group of 15 which included 70 year old grandparents to two year old grandchildren and everyone in between. The house was equipped with so many games (inside (ping pong) and outside (croquet, bocci ball, etc.)) that we didn't even need to leave the property to be entertained all day. Lynn was a great host and always just a text away. We made memories at Stillwater Haven that will last our family a lifetime.

Golf Weekend #30 (years)

This was our 30th year of our neighborhood golf trip and the best lodging of all of them. The house was spectacular and had everything we needed. Lynn thought of everything that could be available for our group and we were amazed at the accommodations. We easily slept 19 guys in the many rooms and beds available. Plenty of entertainment options but we chose corn hole, horseshoes and pool. The property is amazing and the river view is also. This is a definite 5 out of 5 star destination

Wonderful Experience staying at this beautiful home

We had the best experience staying at this beautiful home. The home had everything! If we need a lighter, it was in a drawer labeled lighter. If we need a baking dish, it was in a cabinet labeled baking dishes. If we wanted to play cards, board games or other things, this house had all the games. We will come again and stay at this beautiful home again. Love it!!!!!!!!!!

Terrific Family Getaway

This vacation home was better than any other we've experienced. The great rooms and family rooms were huge, and a lot of the bedrooms were spacious. Plenty of room for our family of 23 with space to spare. The cousins had a great time in the river and in the yard. This host is wonderful, she worked through any little glitches or questions we had, and even handled a major failure with very little inconvenience. She had everything we wanted, and even a couple of things we didn't expect. You should have SIX STARS. We highly recommend Stillwater Haven and hope to return.

Family time was the BEST time!

When Lynn tells you not to overpack, please LISTEN to her. She has everything and then some. The kitchen was a dream to cook in. Finally a rental that can sleep 25 actually has a stocked kitchen to cook for 25. She has more towels in the bathroom than Kohls has on their store shelves. We have found our forever rental that checks off every box for our needs for a four generation family to have a relaxing get away from jobs, stress, and just enjoy peaceful family time making memories that are priceless. Book it, you won't regret it!!

Lovely getaway

Lynn was beyond thoughtful and helpful, and the property was as shown in the pics. Unique setup, beautiful surroundings, lots to do even if it rains (indoor and outdoor games, fireplaces, cooking appliances, printing/office space). Don't need to bring anything (there are plentiful plush towels, extra pillows and blankets, paper products, soaps, fully stocked kitchens with everything from appliances and serving ware/utensils to oil and spices, multiple refrigerators, filtered water, so many games and activities, kids' toys, water tubes/accessories). Lynn even makes sure to have you covered for minor emergencies like needing batteries for a toy or something from the medicine cabinet for a scrape or sunburn. Everything is clean and well maintained. Nice views from wraparound deck with comfortable seating and umbrellas for table cover when needed, and covered patio at ground level faces the river as well. Many of the sleeping spaces are in the open living spaces, but that's evident in the photos and was fine by us as we were just there for a small family getaway. Fun trip, and we will come back!

Perfect house for a perfect weekend retreat - we all loved it!

We had a ladies retreat at Stillwater Haven this past weekend that was amazing. The house was such an ideal place to cook together, hang out, have group discussions, relax, and feel like we were in our own homes. Lynn is a wonderful hostess who really goes out of her way to help in any way possible (like driving to town to get a mechanic to come help a friend who locked her keys in her car!). The weather was perfect for us so we very much enjoyed hanging out by the river, walking the nearby trails, spending time in the hot tub, and having a fire and s'mores in the pavilion fireplace. The beds were SOOOO comfortable. There were many blankets nearby to get cozy on the couch or in the gliders. The open kitchen was so great for cooking large meals and since that's where most people gather - it never felt crowded like in a lot of kitchens. And everything is labeled so you aren't searching for very long to find what utensil you need. There were several spots inside and out that lended themselves to chatting in smaller groups. We just loved being there and I hope we will be able to come back again! Thank you, Lynn for being willing to follow the vision the Lord gave you to build such a home as Stillwater Haven.

Heaven On The River

Stillwater Haven is really Heaven on a river. This Home is Stunning and Lynn and Michaela are Angels. Lynn and Michaela are my family now, I had an amazing stay. I have a organization and I conducted a women's retreat for a fundraiser to help fatherless children. Naturally a lot of family supported me with this. As I struggled with a place to rent, I do believe God sent me Lynn and Michaela at Stillwater Haven. My whole group of women loved them along with the house. The house decor makes you really feel at home and comfy. There is so much to do in the house and in the small town. The people in the town was so nice and welcoming as they helped our group conquer our fear of rafting. They cheered us on just like family would. If I could have left my cousin Karon (the teacher) I think they would have been happy. This made me really emotional that God placed me and my group in the correct hands. I received so many phone calls this week anticipating next years retreat. Everyone is missing Lynn and the two black labs. There was so much room for everyone and that's what mad it even better. The hot tub is soothing and the trails are challenging but yet amazing. Lynn we can't wait to come back and see you guys. Thanks for all your love and great hospitality. See you next year!!!! XOXOXO!!!

Awesome place!

This was the most well-appointed vacation house we could have imagined. The kitchen had everything. It was easy to make dinners for a big group, especially with the double grills outside the kitchen and the buffet table for serving. There were so many games for families to play, including tetherball and there were even bins of legos! We really just needed to bring food and clothes. There isn't room here to list everything we liked. Tubing from the backyard was as convenient as it gets. There were tables and gathering areas all over the property. It felt like a private resort. Our large group can't wait to go back.

Best place for a peaceful getaway

Our family had the best long weekend at Stillwater Haven. There is nothing that you could possibly think of that this home doesn't have waiting for you. Lynn is one of the nicest people you will ever meet, and so are her dogs. Every room is fully equipped with everything you might need to enjoy your stay and feel comfortable. The pictures don't even do the house justice, as it's even more beautiful in person. The beds are all super comfortable, and everything was perfectly clean. We can't wait to book another stay at Stillwater Haven!

Great 4 seasons house.

Our family celebrated our father's 100 birthday. Our father was glad to have a ramp to walk into the house. The house comes with everything except a chef. Kitchen fully stocked with professional cookware of all sizes and a large variety of herbs, spices, oils etc. Loved listening to creek and Yough River from large covered decks. There are many outdoor/indoor games including pool table and ping pong table. A great place to celebrate with family of all ages. Hope to come back in summer or early fall to use the intertubes to float down the river.
