Our family had a wonderful time at Restful Retreat! The home was very spacious and perfect for our party of 9. There was so much to do at the residence, and we enjoyed the hot tub & pool table. We loved the outside covered deck. It was a great place to relax and have your coffee in the morning. We had neighbors but you hardly knew they were there. Excellent soundproof walls! It was especially relaxing to enjoy the campfire at night, and the grandkids loved having smores. The lower level is perfect for a family with children. The rental is close to everything, minutes away from Swallow Falls and Deep Creek Lake Park, where we enjoyed hiking and relaxing by the sandy beach. Our dogs enjoyed their stay as well and it's nice to rent a place that is pet friendly. We also took advantage of the free admission to the community aquatic center which is approximately 5 miles from the home. One caution; one morning we did see a bear in the neighborhood wandering around Not unusual since it is in the mountains. It was pretty cool! Just be aware of your surroundings. I highly recommend this home! Our family hopes to come back next year! Thank you for a wonderful stay!
