Great getaway to relax and take in gorgeous Deep Creek Lake.

great property. nice house. spacious. dogs loved the dock and water access. house was a little dirty. showers have some black mold. only provided one trash bag so we had to stop for extra trash bags. No AC so house was a little musty with the humidity. bedroom fans helped.

This was our 6th year abt Deep Creek Lake and the Walting Matilda is the best place we've stayed at and we are already planning to book again for next year. The house is in great condition and in the perfect location within walking distance to the State Park trails. The house doesnt have AC but wasnt really an issue since it doesn't get too hot in the summer at the lake, however a ceiling fan in the living/ kitchen areas would be helpful. The house could use some minor maintenance and repairs but Waltzing Matilda is the best home we've stayed at in this price range. Also, we appreciated the owner sharing background of the home and family history in the information binder.

Loved our week at Waltzing Matilda! The location cannot be beat, it’s beautiful, peaceful & private, and there was plenty of space for everyone inside (6 humans & 1 dog). The patio/outdoor space is a little lacking for comfort/functionality; it could use a good cleaning & a comfortable seating area—luckily we’d packed camping chairs & a canopy to spend time outside. The yard is rather overgrown & the dock is very unstable (both of which we were prepared for after reading previous reviews), but neither of those issues were a barrier to a great vacation! Overall we had a fabulous time! Most of our time was spent on the water or walking/hiking the trails in the state park (right across the street!), and waltzing Matilda was a great place to call “home.”
