Holiday Stay
My husband and I stayed here with our small dog for a few days over Thanksgiving. It was wonderful! The kitchen had everything we needed to make a big meal, the living room was cozy with the fireplace on and the bathroom and bedroom were clean and comfortable. We really had no complaints and would absolutely visit again during the warmer months.

Fun time
We really enjoyed the location of the property. We had our own private access to the lake. Sun room was nice with a little heater, we had coffee and breakfast there in the morning. We got an email a couple days before our trip that the hot tub was broken, but they were awesome and fixed it quickly so we could use it on our trip! Cabin was very clean and stocked with all the kitchen appliances and amenities needed! Hope we will be staying there again next year!

Hot Tub was Broken
We received notice on the day of check-in, that the hot tub was broken. This was one of the main reasons we chose this property. Very disappointing…

Water in the Sky property
Property was well maintained. Pictures were spot on. Clean, well equipped and hot tub was clean and ready but hose was left running from cleaning the hot tub which left puddles and slightly muddy condition. There was no charcoal grill as advertised and propane grill was on premises but no propane tank attached

Terrific Off-Season Gem!
Water in the Sky is a cozy and eclectic gem of a cottage! We spent 3 days here in early April during an unexpectedly warm early spring getaway. The cabin was clean and well stocked and has lots of charm. It is located on a quiet arm of Deep Creek Lake, even more enjoyable because of the solitude and serenity of the early spring. We enjoyed the waterfront seating (dock wasn’t in yet, but it didn’t bother us), the fire circle, the view of the dark skies from the hot tub and time spent on the enclosed porch when it was a bit chilly. The king bed was really comfortable and we had everything we needed in the kitchen. The updated bathroom was great too. This was a perfect place for a couple’s getaway, with Swallow Falls and plenty of other hiking locations nearby. We will come back when the water is warmer and enjoy kayaking and fishing.

Cute Cottage
This cute cottage had a great view of the lake. The sun porch was a great amenity as the rain brought out the mosquitos. My partner and I felt that the property was private enough. The only negative was that the hot tub was not very clean despite it being serviced 4 days before our stay.

Older property, needs some TLC.
We enjoyed the property, but did wish it had been better cleaned. Areas under the bunk beds (anywhere away from high traffic) looked like it had not been cleaned for a long time. Also, when it rains, the bedroom smells very musty. Beautiful view, but just know to expect a rustic cabin.

Property was just as the listing said, with access to Deep Creek Lake. Just remote enough to make us feel like we were getting away but close enough to fun stuff and stores, etc.

We loved it! Cute place to relax and enjoy the lake.
The one thing to remember when renting out a pet friendly house is, you must be able to control the humidity inside the house. The humidity tends to bring out odor and the sheets and bed spreads smelled like they haven't been washed . I'm sure they were but it's the only issue we had . We will come again

Feet From the Water Yet Pleasantly Secluded
Overall Water in The Sky is a MUST STAY!! My wife and our puppy spent an amazing long weekend here enjoying the private dock, hot tub, comfortable rear deck onlooking the yard and lakefront, and cozy cabin-like stay here. Our mornings were spent exploring the local attractions including Swallow Falls State Park and Wisp Resort--a must visit to ride the Mountain Coaster!! By noon we were laying out on the dock, jumping into the crystal clear water and floating aimlessly in our tubes! The BBQ grill made it simple to cook up a few hamburgers, hot dogs etc. without having to worry about where to eat lunch or a mid-afternoon snack. In the vicinity you can find JGs Pub--a 5 minute drive located right as you get to Garrett Highway. If you stop by ask for Lisa and try out the Zucchini Spears, they're a must have!! Further down the road you'll find Trader's Coffee which overlooks the lake across the street, as well as kayak/boat/jet ski rentals next door. Overall my wife and I were very pleased with our stay and the atmosphere of Deep Creek Lake. We will visit again!!
