About this property

Cross the River | Hot Tub + River Access!

Rich in Deep Creek history, this cottage was built as company housing for Deep Creek's Hydro Electric Dam workers in 1925. Featuring private Youghiogheny River frontage in the protected Wild and Scenic Corridor, this home is a completely unique Deep Creek Lake vacation rental.

Offering one-level-living, you will love the open floor plan that is perfect for spending time with your favorite people. Enjoy river views in the great room as you curl up on the sectional sofa to watch TV or a favorite DVD. Nicely updated, the kitchen has beautiful granite counters along with stainless steel appliances. You can make big breakfasts, delicious dinners and late-night snacks to satisfy any appetite. There is seating for four at the table and two at the breakfast bar.

Each of the two bedrooms is decorated with a good night's sleep in mind. You will love the river view bedroom that has doors that open to the deck. It is furnished with a queen bed, TV and DVD player. The second bedroom also has a queen bed and a TV.

The large deck makes it easy to enjoy the outdoors! Sip your coffee in the morning with the sounds of nature all around you and have afternoon barbecues while you soak up the sunshine. In the evening, toast marshmallows around the fire pit and then take a dip in the hot tub while listening to the river and stargazing.

Off-the-beaten-path, you are still within a five-minute drive to Wisp Resort, lake activities, restaurants and Fork Run's hiking, mountain biking and rock climbing.

Be sure to visit Deep Creek Lake State Park. They have a sandy beach with lifeguards, picnic areas, playgrounds and canoe and kayak rentals. You can also take the kids to the Discovery Center that is home to hands-on exhibits about the local, natural environment. Park staff often have great activities like guided hikes and tours of the aviary.

Want to stay at home? Just bring your fly rod, walk down your private access and in seconds you are knee deep in one of the best fishing spots in Maryland. Walk the river's hiking paths and observe Osprey, Bald Eagles, Heron and more. Infamous "Slide Rock" is on this property, which is the take-out for the class III and IV kayak run from Swallow Falls. You can also launch your flat water boats from "Slide Rock" and enjoy a relaxing 2.5 mile float to the Sang Run take out.

Perfect for couples and small families, Cross the River is a home that will make your Deep Creek Lake vacation truly unforgettable!

For your convenience, this home offers free wifi.

Cross the Creek

Our stay started off with the 6 digit code for the door didn't work. Cell phone calls dropped so tried the wifi for the property but the name was wrong along with the pass code. 3 tvs but only 2 remotes had batteries so we had to swap out TV batteries when we changed rooms, fan chains would not shut off the fans. The one bed was completely uncomfortable and creaked every time we shifted postion. Fan blades were covered in dust from the ac. Surrounding properties had no tresspassing signs on both sides of our property along with those signs posted on the walking trail next to the river. Several pictures were different the actual property. Trash was overflowing in the vestibule as well as lots of flies attracted to the trash. Recieved late notice the morning of departure that we need to bring trash bags, toilet paper, towels, hand soap for hand washing and dish washing soap. I spent a significant amount of money to rent this property. These items should already been included as stock.

Respite by the river

Cross the River is a lovely cottage that is located in a quiet area right by the river yet 10 minutes away from shops and restaurants. The house is also very close to some great hiking trails and WISP. The house itself was updated for every comfort. The deck overlooked the river and had a grill, so we enjoyed having our meals out there. It is the perfect place for adults or a small group to relax and enjoy this area.

Lovely ski weekend

We stayed at this lovely, well located riverside cabin while skiing Wisp. It is right on the river, so that the deck, hot tub and firepit all have great views of the water. Renovated kitchen is well equipped and fairly large. Beds and living room lounge couch SO comfortable. Property manager very responsive. We plan on returning!

Quiet, older, clean home. Great stay, but cost too much

The location was great! The cleanliness was wonderful! We just wanted to get away for a few days from life. Water was too high on the River for my hubby to fish, so we used the hot tub instead during the day. Not sure if it was fully cleaned prior to us though. The water was a bit fuzzy. But inside the house was spotless. Over all, the price for this older house during an off season was way too high after all the excessive fees added (more in resort fees, hot tub cleaning ?, ect than the house). We felt the overall cost was too high for having all things that come with older houses, loud old floors, doorknobs hanging by a thread, ect. We never received our PIN number for the entrance, so make sure you do that before you arrive. We were on hold with the resort company for 20 mins just to talk to someone and an automated answering system that I did the run around about 3-4 times prior to being on hold and getting through. I didn’t hear from the owner, just the company running it. We did get a random text in the evening reminding us of the quiet hours for outside (as we were inside in pjs watching a movie lol). We thought that was odd as we both were just chilling for the couple days. No one responded when we asked if there was a problem. We are older, nonstop, working couple who just wanted a quite place to be. Odd but no big deal. It was very peaceful and quiet. We enjoyed our late check out- it was an additional $50 for the 4 hours. Overall, it was a fantastic quite stay and inside was very clean but will be going back to other cabins that are more up to date for that price. (Mid Nov : Sun- Tues stay)
