Deep Creek Lake, Maryland is dog's heaven on earth!


This destination is very dog-friendly. With days filled with sunshine and shimmering water, you can see why everyone and their dog is spending as much time as possible outside in Deep Creek Lake!


Several state parks are very close and hiking is extremely popular. You can explore all of these incredible parks with your dog! Be sure that you spend some time with your dog in the water. We'd have a hard time keeping Luie Boone from swimming.


There's just so much to do, with almost every outdoor activity that you can think of. When you go to Deep Creek Lake, leave all of your worries behind and focus on making the most of the outdoors there!

What does Luie Boone think of this rental? He woofed:

It is said that the waters of Deep Creek Lake can cure any troubles! Mom said to cure something means to bring it to an end. We all will not want the vacation time that we get to spend together there to end—whether it be hiking, visiting a state park, going on a pontoon ride on the lake, or cooking some s'mores on the fire pit at the vacation rental. Those are things that we will not want cured!

Luie Boone's Pet Peeve about

Deep Creek Lake, Maryland


There's just so much to love about this vacation destination, but there's one thing that's got Luie Boone's leash in a twist. He woofed:


Dog must be on a leash in public pedestrian areas. I am a very friendly pooch and I have to admit that I like to roam about freely sometimes... but, hey, I know my humans will listen to this rule, so we can enjoy Deep Creek Lake.
