Fantastic property and couldn’t have asked for a better location for our quick family getaway/celebration! Plenty of space and privacy for everyone, and super convenient to local hot spots. Great communication with the host, and would definitely plan another stay!
We enjoyed our stay, beautiful cabin with a lake view.Would highly recommend this place, the host was super responsive to any questions we had. Easy check in and out. Kitchen well equipped, overall great experience.
We had a great stay. Everything was clean and very nice. Weather was rainy but still plenty of things to do inside. Great location and close to many activities indoors and outdoors.
That Special Place, was the perfect cabin to bring family together to celebrate Thanksgiving. The house was clean, organized and close to a wonderful state park. We would definitely stay there again!

The house was beautiful and exactly what we needed for a group of girls. We loved that there were 4 bathrooms, and enough room for all of us. Chris was quick to respond to everything we needed, and any problems that we had. Would definitely recommend everyone to stay here.
Our Host was awesome, when we first arrived the heat wasn't working and there was someone there within 20 mins and fixed. No issues the rest of the weekend.
Everything was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! We had an amazing vacation. The cabin was gorgeous! We had more than enough room for all of us to be comfortable. And Chris was more than helpful!!
The house was immaculate. It was updated and cozy. Wonderful view of the lake and 5 minutes from skiing. We plan on doing this again at the same house.
The entire house is very spacious. The listing says it sleeps 16. 6 of us went. The location, hot tub, cleanliness, and firepit were fantastic. If you plan to cook in, there are plenty of plates and cups. There is one giant pot, but nothing smaller, and the frying pans are not very nice. There is a Keurig and a regular coffee pot and a nice blender. There are only 6 forks. Fortunately there were 6 of us, so we would use and clean and use again. There was only one blanket (not counting the comforters on the beds). We brought games and playing cards (there were none on-site).

The decor was very nice. You really get that cabin feel. It had everything we needed for the stay. My kids enjoyed it. They want to come back for a full week in the summer We really love this area. We don't mind making this our regular vacation place in Oakland.
My friends and I️ had such an amazing time at that special place. The host made the check in and out process extremely easy. The house is absolutely gorgeous and much bigger than the pictures make it seem. Plenty of space for 14 people.
The home was a perfect size for us. Plenty of room. We all enjoyed our stay and hope to return during the Fall.
The owner is exceptional and always responded to our questions. His suggestions for restaurants were excellent!
Thank you for having us!
We stayed in the house for 3 nights. Host was very responsive. House was perfect for my family - clean and every room has its own bathroom. Location is good, 4 min. drive to the beach. We are thinking of going back in the winter.
The owner answered fast and was very patient and helpful when booking this house. The pictures don’t do it justice, it’s HUGE! It was very clean when we arrived. The home has plates, silverware, and grilling tools which was very helpful. I would definitely stay here again!
Our stay was very comfortable. The property is very nice and the furnishings are fabulous. The queen size bunk beds were so amazing and gave our family plenty of room to stretch out. The owner was more than pleasurable to deal with and answered our questions quickly and gave us lots of helpful info about the area. Highly recommend this owner and especially this property! Thanks for a great experience!
"That Special Place" offers a wonderful porch with a nice water view. Perfect for morning coffee and late afternoon wine time. Gathering around the fire pit in the evening was another favorite there. This was our family vacation with 10 adults and 2 little doggies. The cabin is nicely furnished, very clean and comfortable. We're already talking about next summer's return.
We only stayed one night at That Special Place while passing thru Deep Creek, but the house is amazing. It's a beautiful log cabin that has plenty of space for a large group to gather, dine, and sleep.
It was very easy to communicate with Chris, the property manager, and he responded quickly to questions.
The still image from the movie Step Brothers in the double bunk-bed room is hilarious!
So pleased with this property! We were all able to spread out or enjoy each other’s company. Several of us enjoyed the hot tub although it felt slimy on the bottom… not sure if that’s typical. We would definitely stay here again if we ever had plans to revisit the area. We visited the falls and did a little shopping at some antique stores. Can’t do much in one day since most places were closed on Sunday. Chris was very nice to even give me a call the night before
Our overall trip was great. There were a few flaws that could be easily fixed. The place would improve with an upgraded fridge, ours failed to keep a cool temp. An ice maker would be ideal. The hot tub was in need of a treatment, it was emitting a funky smell. A few more towels would also be an improvement. The location is close to our preferred restaurants and.adventures.
