This three level log cabin home offers ground level entry with keypad check-in into the lower level. You'll walk into a relaxing living area with a mud room area to unload your luggage and hang up your gear. On this level, there is a wet bar, wine fridge, entertainment/ game room, full bedroom, full bathroom, and a half bathroom.


Once you walk up the stairs, you will find yourself on the main level with a spacious living room with vaulted ceilings, dining area, and a full kitchen with breakfast bar island seating. The dining room table has seats for 10 people with the table leaves. The kitchen offers full sized appliances, dishes, cookware, Keurig, and a nice open feel. So much natural light really highlights this space, and invites you onto the wrap around deck for another seating area to kick back, enjoy the stunning wooded views with your beverage of choice in hand! This is also a great place to relax in the hot tub, enjoy a warm bonfire, or enjoy your meals outside on the patio table. The bedroom suite on this floor offers a king sized bed, SmartTV, closet space, and a full bathroom. There is also a half bathroom and washer and dryer just off the kitchen area for your convenience. There is also an additional mud room off the kitchen.


The top floor is where you will find the other two bedrooms, which share a full bathroom with double sinks. The bedroom to the left offers a queen sized bed, ample closet space, a window side reading nook, and a SmartTV. The bedroom to the right has two individual twin beds and a twin/twin bunk bed. This would be a great room for the kids to spend time and make memories together!

Our childhoods were family adventures in the lakes and woods of Minnesota and Wisconsin, which we wanted to share with our growing family. When we found the Deep Creek area, it felt like being back home and we couldn't wait to create a place where families could create memories together.

Paws and Relax Lodge is that dream come to life. We've put a lot of love and care into the home to make it a wonderful place for the whole family to spend quality time together, including its furry members. We love spending evenings grilling, roasting marshmallows, or playing board games on the wrap around deck and around the fire pit. During the day, there is so much to do including exploring the many state parks in the area, swimming and boating in Deep Creek Lake, skiing/snowboarding at Wisp Resort, sampling the wonderful treats the area has, and finding new adventures together. The location of Paws and Relax Lodge is perfect to reach any of the amazing Deep Creek area attractions.

The home is just a short drive to Deep Creek Lake, McHenry attractions, Wisp Resort, Deep Creek Lake State Park, and the Adventure Sports Center International.

We're excited to make plenty more family memories here and are happy to be able to offer Paws and Relax Lodge for you to make memories in as well.
We've worked hard to leave no stone un-turned and cover every detail so you can get away from it all and relax worry-free. If there's anything we can do to improve your stay, please let us know!

The house was even more beautiful than the pictures led us to believers there was ample room, and even though some out of group had to skip the trip, we still made the most of it. The home was clean and stocked sleigh everything we needed! We will be back!" - Meredith ★★★★★

"This house was beautiful and has enough room for everyone to spread out. Great property! Beautiful home. Close to restaurants and stores."- Julie ★★★★★

"Loved the house. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook a Thanksgiving dinner for 8. Enjoyed the walking trails in the community. The dog leashes, bowls and pet beds were also a nice bonus."- Sherri ★★★★★


"Perfect dog friendly place for our family gathering. We had plenty of space in this super clean lodge. Restaurants, Ice Cream shop, and Shop N Save were close by. The Deep Creek Lake State Park Discovery Center and playgrounds were a big hit with all ages. Wish we had booked a longer stay!" -Barb ★★★★★

"Paws and Relax is truly a great home! We enjoyed our time there with our 2 dogs and the experience was top notch. We will be back!"- Patrick ★★★★★

"The house was exactly as it was described on the website. Very clean, excellent furnishings, and had everything we needed. The kids especially loved the hot tub, the arcade game, and all the games and toys included with the house. The house being dog friendly with all the dog bowls and beds provided was a huge bonus as well. Highly recommend this house!" - Andrew ★★★★★

"Terrific wintery weekend in Deep Creek. The house was perfectly equipped for a Friendsgiving with our dog and came fully furnished with everything we needed. The owner and Railey were transparent about the 4WD/AWD recommendation during icy conditions and were very responsive if we needed anything. Could not recommend enough for anyone in the Mid-Atlantic and look forward to a similar but different experience in Deep Creek during the summer months." - Kyle ★★★★★

"We stayed here over Christmas - my elderly parents, my husband and I and our two college age sons. Oh - and our 2 dogs!! Great house!!! We were there during the blizzard and crazy high winds (sub-zero temperatures!!) - and the house stayed warm and cozy. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The TV's are fantastic - kitchen was super well stocked - hot tub was hot even though it was below zero outside - and it was super quiet!! Just wished it was not so cold as we would have skied at Wisp!!! But movies and popcorn were still great to keep us occupied, along with cooking many family meals." - Dawn ★★★★★

"The home was beautiful and very clean! Comfortable beds and furniture, beautiful surroundings, tons of wildlife. The deck and hot tub were large and clean and we enjoyed grilling out and building fires. The kitchen had all we needed to enjoy some meals at home. We saw deer every morning and a few bear around the property! Would def visit this home again. Gallatin woods is a beautiful and peaceful neighborhood." - Elizabeth ★★★★★

"We had a wonderful stay in this house! The amenities were as described and the house was very comfortable for our family. We also enjoyed the outdoor space - - the back yard area was private and had multiple seating areas as well as a hot tub. We would definitely recommend this house to anyone looking for a well-appointed, clean, and spacious vacation home." - Mary Claire ★★★★★

"I would rent this place again, it was definitely spacious enough for the six of us and our two dogs." -Kimberly ★★★★★


"Although not directly on the lake the location was great! Once down the mountain you find yourself in almost equal distance to both Wisp and then the same in the other direction to Arrowhead market, Honi Honi etc. House well stocked with games and plenty of other extras. Looked like a brand new Big Buck Hunter video game, foosball, and shuffleboard. Fantastic stay!"- Ronald ★★★★★


"This house was perfect for a weekend family trip! Plenty of space to hang out and play games and we loved the outdoor fireplace." -Madeline ★★★★★


"Beautiful cabin enjoyed by everyone in our family. Fun times around the fire pit. Thank you for a wonderful stay at Deep Creek Lake." -Bonita ★★★★★
