Great Location and Wonderful Deck
We very much enjoyed our stay at Oakleaf Lodge. This is a spacious hillside home with an expansive deck overlooking the lake. The location was perfect--a lovely spot with lake access and close to hiking trails in the state park. We also appreciated the fire ring and firewood by the lake for our evening campfires. (We were expecting soap to be supplied, and there was none, but otherwise the house and facilities met our needs).

Thanks, Jean!  We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay with us!  The lakeside fire pit is the perfect place to spend a fall evening.  We do note that you would need to bring soaps in your arrival email.  We will look into ways to make that more prominent.  Hope you come see us again soon!

Great Lake house
The house was perfect for our long weekend at the lake. The house was just as advertised.

Thanks, Kyle!  Hope you come see us again soon!

We stayed at Oak Leak Lodge last week and everything was perfect. The house was clean, easy lake access (once you get used to the hill!) it was exactly what we were looking for and the price was right. We would definitely use this rental again.

Thanks, Chris! So glad you enjoyed your stay. The house does sit on a hill but the lake front across the street is amazing. We hope you come see us again!

Although the weather wasn't completely cooperative, we enjoyed our stay at Deep Creek Lake. The house, Oakleaf Lodge, was pretty, large, and had everything our family needed to enjoy a week at the lake.

We had 7 adults and 4 children and were happy with the layout and cleanliness of the space both to gather as a family and also to spread out and have some quiet time. Our first impression was that the house was nicer in person than what the photos showed.

The kitchen/dining area/living room is a great central location to be together and we really enjoyed spending time there in the evenings and roasting marshmallows at the huge fireplace.

The porch is large enough to accommodate a group meal, but without enough seats for more than 6.

Great for:
- wonderful view of the lake and dock from the porch
- only 1.5 miles to the State Park
- clean!
- hot tub: we used it every evening to warm up after swimming in the lake. Appreciated the locks for safety from young children.
- convenient parking: 2 spots are on the same level as the main floor of the house. 3 additional are down an additional staircase from the main profile photo shown.
- plenty of wood for the living room fireplace with a convenient pass-through to easily stock the living room directly from outside without carrying the wood through the house.

A few areas of improvement:
- steepness of driveway: for elderly and guests with physical challenges, please note that this driveway is very steep from the house down to the dock. Most in the area are similar, but worth noting.
- dishwasher: the soap wouldn't fully dissolve and the top rack gets weighed down and prevents the water sprayer from spinning. We rewashed most loads and had to hand wash more dishes than we cared to.
- more dishtowels, please (two isn't enough for a full week)
- sunroom seating: we enjoyed the bright morning light in this large room but were disappointed that there was only seating for four people

Ultimately, we would recommend this house for other guests looking for a comfortable and peaceful stay and easy access to the State Park.

Hi Paula, Thank you for taking the time to review your stay! It is wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed the home and that it worked well for your family. We really appreciate your feedback and suggestions. They will be shared with the home owner. Also, I will have our maintenance team take a look at the dishwasher. I hope that we see you at the lake again soon! Thanks again, Stacy
