Modern Pet Friendly Lakefront Retreat w/ Pool

Name: Absolutely Shore | Bedrooms: 8 | Bathrooms: 7.5 | Sleeps: 20 | Access: Lake Front | Dogs Welcome: Max 2 | MUST BE 24+ YEARS TO RENT | Free WIFI Provided

DESCRIPTION:
Vacation in luxury at this stunning modern, mountain, contemporary-style lakefront property located on a prime section of Deep Creek Lake! With every amenity you could need, Absolutely Shore is truly shore to please! The state-of-the-art, one-of-a kind, commercial grade kitchen is every foodie's dream. Just think of the possibilities! If one kitchen wasn’t enough, on those gorgeous summer days, use the outside kitchen with a pizza oven instead! The kitchen is just the beginning; the open concept main level will be the prime place to entertain and hang out with plush furnishings, a beautiful modern gas fireplace, and jaw-dropping window views. Take in the views of the shimmering lake in the summer, the changing of the leaves in the fall and the cascading snow in the winter. Relax on the deck, the expansive dock, in the yard, or on the boat and take advantage of the view and the fantastic location. Spend the days out and about enjoying the area and all that it has to offer. Mini golf, go-karts, the Wisp Resort and various state parks and hiking trails are just minutes away. Even on those cold, rainy, and slightly less ideal days, this home has you covered! Head to the half-court basketball court for a 1-on-1 game or take a dip in the indoor pool or relax in the bubbles of the hot tub. This home goes above and beyond with style, comfort, and amenities. And if it couldn’t get better, make sure to pack for your four-legged friends; this home is pet friendly too! From family reunions to corporate retreats to friend get-togethers, Absolutely Shore is absolutely the place to be! Book today!

Very disappointed and feel ripped off! Property claims to be luxury but is not. Heated pool didn’t heat entire trip, fireplace didn’t work, cheap everything in the kitchen, furniture looked tired (not like pictures). Plastic forks and knives would have been better that what they provided. 1/2 roll of tp and paper towel, 1 towel per person etc. Super cheap management and owner. Yes, the view out the windows was nice but everything else was bad. For the price we paid, we expected more. Talked to management company and they could care less. Def will not be back and be on the lookout for this company to avoid.

Great Family Gathering

Although this was nice for our winter family gathering, I can envision it being really great for a summer gathering. Our children loved all the amenities, especially pool and basketball. For a nice family dinner, try the Pine Lodge. They were very accommodating and great food.
