Lakefront Home with Dock, Firepit & Views - Dogs OK, Close to the State Park

Pee Wee Acres

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

The banks of Deep Creek Lake will be right outside your door at this three-bedroom (plus a loft) Swanton home, a dog-friendly escape with a private dock, an abundance of cabin-like character, and a wondrous lakefront position ideal for summer vacationers.

You'll find this single-level home on the eastern shores of Deep Creek Lake, right at the mouth of Cherry Creek Cove. Swim, fish, and kayak from your very own dock, head one mile south to Deep Creek Lake State Park to utilize the boat ramp and sandy beach, and enjoy the summer wonders of Wisp Resort (including two golf courses, disc golf, bike trails, and a mountain coaster) seven miles northwest.

Whether you've come to Deep Creek Lake to golf, swim, or take a spin in your boat, you'll be able to do it all at Pee Wee Acres. Use the free WiFi to plan afternoon hikes (bring your dog along), and come home to this lakefront piece of property just in time for sunset.

Begin each morning with a homemade breakfast prepared in the country kitchen (with a dishwasher), and cook your lunches al fresco on the charcoal grill. Drop your kayak in the lake for a paddle at dusk, gather around the firepit for ghost stories and s'mores, and end the evening with a movie or two in the warmth of the wood-burning fireplace (a flatscreen TV, basic cable, and a VCR are provided).

Once you've arrived, you'll feel right at home - reserve your memorable stay in Western Maryland today!

Lakeside getaway
Location was perfect. We appreciated the fresh towels and bedding. Kitchen was well stocked. The only issue was the musty smell throughout the house. Fans don’t help much. Nothing really effected out stay, but it’s in much need of TLC

Needs serious quality control
Location is nice. Pictures are relatively accurate. However, there are quite a few pests to deal with. Also, there is no cooling for temperature control, only heating. Also, the sink and dishwasher drains both clogged, and despite multiple maintenance requests, no repairs were made. With better facilities and quality control, this property would be a lot better received.

I wouldn’t rent this house for a weeks stay , However, for a long weekend it was fine
This home needs major updating. Mold in bathroom. Great location and lakefront. Driveway is very hard to find, especially at night. The instructions for operating the TV and VCR were not included as advertised. The trash can was full to the top when we arrived.

Great Lake Escape
Pee Wee Acres was a great escape from our daily lives and a wonderful place for our family to meet and catchup with each other. The dock is wonderful for sitting and drinking a morning cup of coffee. The lake was a little busy but it was the fourth of July week so we actually expected it to be busier. Even with it being a busy vacation week the property was very peaceful and quiet. Our Furry Family member Trinity loved jumping into the lake from the dock, the rest of the family did as well. When we first arrived Vacase property management was finishing up a repair from the last guest. They were friendly, very professional and on the whole a plessure to deal with as a guest. One the whole I would definitely recommend Pee Wee acers to families and people with Furry Family memebers.

Will definitely be back
This was the most relaxing vacation we’ve ever taken. The house was very comfortable and being right on the lake kept the kids busy. The house is basic in amenities, but worth the cost for the location for sure. My whole family agreed this is replacing the beach as our go to in the future.

Best Location
We have been staying at Pee Wee Acres since 2018 and you can’t beat the backyard/private dock/location (no crossing the road to get to the lake). The new flooring and windows were much appreciated this year! The kitchen and bathroom are dated, so if you’re looking for modern luxury, this is not the place for you. But it does have all the amenities you need to enjoy your stay! We do bring extra fans with us as there is no AC, but the place stays comfortable without it. My only complaints are I apparently forgot how uncomfortable the beds are and the latch on the garbage can cage was broken. This resulted in animals getting into the full trash twice and me having to clean up the woods and road. I did send an email to notify the agency of the broken latch, so hopefully that will be fixed soon so someone else doesn’t have to deal with that mess. Otherwise, I definitely recommend the place if you’re looking for a reasonably priced stay with the perfect location!

Just what we needed!
This is a rustic vacation home that has a lake front access with dock and location was perfect for our family. We needed a place to eat and rest our heads at night after being out all day. The wifi was also excellent. The only thing we had to juggle was timing of showers since there is only one shower. Although, the water has good presurre and gets hot quick. Also, the front door is tough to open and close. It’s like the door is leaning towards the handle and you have to pull it back towards the hinges to ipen and close it. We would definitely stay here again. BTW - i tried to give zero stars for the property manager because I never spoke to one. Everything was handled through the vacasa app or via text/email. Therefore, I gave it 4 out of 5 stars since I didn’t have to speak to anyone and having everything digital made it rather simple.

Our stay was comfortable . The place is a little outdated and needs a little TLC . Aside from that we had an enjoyable time. The curtains in the third bedroom did not close nor were they on the rod correctly.

Would have left immediately had we not been on the road for 4 hours
I should have known we were in for a bad experience the moment I got to the door. The entry was covered with dirt and cobwebs. We stepped in and the smell of dust and mold was overwhelming. The carpet was covered with stains and was not in a condition that you'd want to walk in socks or bare feet, shoes were a must. We covered the couch with towels we brought from home just to feel comfortable sitting on it, it was old and smelled like the house, dusty. The bathtub was covered with in mold and there were boards in need of repair. Had we not traveled for as long as we had, we would have turned right back around and left. We stayed one night, our trip was supposed to be a total of 3 nights, but we left immediately the next morning to get out of there as fast as we could. I called VACASA as we were leaving and told them that the property was less than satisfactory and we were leaving. Such a disappointment as this was the first trip we'd had in nearly 2 years and money down the drain. If this is the quality that Vacasa is going to allow to be listed, then I'll start using other booking vendors.

Pee Wee Acres
Wonderful location and lakefront. Quaint layout with the two lofts. Inside very dated. Drawers in kitchen and elsewhere hard to open. Beds very saggy and not comfortable for two people. Shower was awful. Tub was very slippery. Water took forever to warm up and was difficult to adjust. Weekly supplies (toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent, dish soap) ran out on Tuesday (we had four and a half adults - one part time - in a house with max occupancy of six adults). Loved the dock and lakefront yard with firepit. In spite of shortcomings, it was a wonderful week.

This was our 4th stay at Pee Wee Acres! Yes, the house is older and some of the windows could use replacing, but the bathroom and kitchen are clean and the location is unbeatable!! Highly recommend if you are looking for a comfortable, reasonably priced place to stay right on the lake.
