Iconic Cabin! Hot tub, fire pit, lakefront, dock, pet friendly and more!

Lake Haven just listed with Red Barn Vacations. The home was previously five star-rated. I'm sure we'll have a flood of five-star reviews on the website soon, but until then, we have no problem reassuring you: you're gonna love this home!

Lake Haven is the perfect home for your lake getaway! With 100ft of amazing, level lake front that is exclusively yours to enjoy; you can hop into your boat from the private dock in seconds to explore the lake, or sit inside and take in the expansive lake views from any room. While the boat photographed in the gallery is not available for renter use, the home does comes with a canoe and a kayak for your use! (The boat will be moored in the dock slip, but renters do have use of the dock and may dock a boat to the side of the dock)

Located in a quiet cove that is a fishing enthusiast's delight, you can take in the sunrise views and get some fishing done, or take a leisurely swim around the cove anytime you please. It has two tables for outdoor dining, and a grassy lawn that has plenty of room for the kids to run and play. At the end of the day, you can wind down around the glow of the fire pit by the lakeshore or relax in the hot-tub with a view of the lake and the starry mountain skies above you.

The interior is bright and airy, and decorated in a charming cottage style that is immediately inviting. The single-level floor plan is ideal for sharing quality time with your favorite people. Gather together in the great room to enjoy lake views from the comfort of the sectional sofa or cook up a storm in the adjacent, eat-in kitchen that features a farmhouse sink, ample counter space and all the essentials for making delicious meals. You can also cook on the grill outdoors, and eat at the picnic table as you watch boats cruising by.

Adding to your living space is a family room where you can watch TV on the wall-mounted flat screen TV while the kids play foosball. A pass through window to the kitchen makes it easy to serve drinks and snacks for a relaxed evening at home.

All bedrooms have views of the lake, and attention to detail guarantees a good night's sleep in each of the rooms. The spacious primary suite with a queen bed has its own entrance so that guests can come and go as they please. Grab a book off the shelf and settle in to one of the rocking chairs to lose yourself in a story. A second bedroom with two bunk beds is the perfect spot for the kids, and they will love having their own space! The third bedroom is furnished with a queen bed and a reading nook by the window to take in the lake views.

When you stay at Lake Haven, you are off-the-beaten path yet about ten minutes from favorite restaurants like Dutch's at Silver Tree and Uno Pizzeria & Grill. You can also easily reach marinas, shops, mini golf, and more. Circle R Ranch down the road offers horseback Trail Rides and Horse Drawn Sleigh Rides through old apple orchards and the beautiful countryside.
​​​​​​​
Year-round fun at Wisp Resort is just twenty-minutes away. Wisp is well-known for skiing, golf, snow tubing, zip lines, and more. Plus, they operate the world's only mountaintop white water rafting course.
If you enjoy hiking or mountain biking, you will be minutes away from Deep Creek Lake State Park and Swallow Falls, where you can enjoy breathtaking waterfalls and scenic trails. Ohiopyle State Park is a short drive away, with some of the best whitewater rafting in the eastern U.S.! Also near Ohiopyle you will find two homes designed by renowned architect, Frank Lloyd Wright - Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob.
From the beautiful décor, to the lake steps away, and a choice of activities to enjoy all around, Lake Haven will make your vacation a true pleasure!

Outside could use some updates, but inside was clean, functional, and well equipped. Hot tub was fully functional. Fireplace and fire pit were nice. Perfect for our weekend getaway.

Great location - lake-front in no-wake zone of DCL with canoe & kayak to use. House was well-appointed, new additions to home were very nice. Beds were comfortable & house was very clean. Great communication with rental agency. However, although house comes with margarita-maker, there is no ice-maker or ice trays to make ice. Original bathrooms are very small & master shower was very difficult to use because of it’s tiny size- not a deal-breaker for us. Home also needs emergency supplies like flashlight. The few battery-operated candles had dead batteries. We paid a lot more to rent a house on the lake, and were surprised to see more charges added for linens and hot tub cleaning. I would have thought they would have been incorporated into base rental price. Overall a positive experience with details noted being the difference between very good & excellent!

Great location! We took our pontoon boat and put it in at the state park. It was about a 15 minute ride to the house dock. Very quiet neighborhood. House was very clean and had everything we needed except matches for the campfire- no big deal. It was a very cute and cozy house and we did find the bear. Thanks! :)

Quick weekend getaway

This is a really cute property. The quaintness and pictures of the decor is why I picked it despite being able to get a larger rental for less money. It was for the most part pretty clean. The layout was a little awkward. The front door entrance is in the master bedroom with the door being right next to the bed. The bathrooms were nicely decorated but had very little room to navigate in. The guest bathroom we did not use because the tub faucet handle was very loose and we didn’t want to damage it. My kids were super excited to use the hot tub in the snow but once they got in, they quickly got out. It smelled gross, had an orange scummy ring in it, and when the jets were turned in yellow/orange bubble came out. We were supposed to check out Monday morning but on there were blizzard warning in place. I received a text from the property management company stating that if we would like to stay an extra night it would be 50% off. I thought that was great but we couldn’t stay an extra night due the my kids having school on Tuesday. We decided to check out on a Sunday and I messaged the management company asking if they would be willing to credit us a little bit of money back since we were checking out early but they said “no”. Again it’s a super cute property and I’m sure beautiful during the spring and summer but for the price we likely wouldn’t choose this property again.

Perfect Location

The location is incredible. The outside amenities make the perfect, relaxing lake vacation. The house was ok, a little small for a family of 6. Definitely needs some updating but the lake makes up for anything the house is lacking.

Very relaxing

It's a really nice area, very quiet and the house is cute. It's like you're in the middle of nowhere, but have stores, restaurants and activities all within a short drive. The only thing is that I recommend taking screen shots of all the details about the property (door code, wifi password, etc.) before you get there because there is no signal. Plus at one point I changed my mind about going to one place before the other and trying to change that on my GPS was a nightmare because nothing was coming up. No addresses, no maps, nothing. I ended up driving back to the house for the wifi just so I could look up the directions. None of that is the hosts fault obviously, I'm just making a suggestion for future guests. We would come back again!

Clean, cute & peaceful

We loved it. Clean and well decorated. Peaceful setting on beautiful deep creek where we enjoyed the kayak & canoe. We rented life jackets from a nearby business. Kitchen was very well equipped and the view of the lake from the house was enjoyed by all.
