Sunny Escape 2 - A new era for a well loved lake front home

The covered parking was perfect, it rained our last day but we had no trouble.

House was spacious, the kitchen was equipped with everything a cook could need, plenty of common space, and the views of Deep Creek Lake are amazing. Definitely wish to return in the future

We absolutely loved our stay at this lake cabin. From the moment we arrived, it felt warm, cozy, and truly like a home, snot just a rental. The house was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need, which made settling in effortless. There were tons of games and activities for all ages, plus fitness equipment and a table tennis setup that kept everyone entertained. The lake views were absolutely stunning and made every moment feel magical. On top of it all, the host was incredibly friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout our stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would happily return!

Great house. Great host. Great location!

Michael was a fantastic host—very communicative, responsive, and accommodating in preparation for our stay. The home was beautiful, well maintained, and conveniently located near all the amenities we needed. It was also extremely well stocked with everything we could have asked for. We had a wonderful experience and would absolutely stay here again!

Sunny Escape 2 is perfectly situated for all ages to enjoy being together, regardless of the season or weather. When the wind speed and snow kept us close to home, the hot tub, ping pong table and many board games and puzzles kept us busy. We couldn't have asked for a better situation. Beautiful location on the lake, close to town. We went snow hiking and cross country skiiing at local state parks. Highly recommend.

Spending Christmas away from home for the first time could have felt strange for our family - but this lake house made it feel magical. The home is absolutely gorgeous: peaceful, relaxing, and perfectly designed for both togetherness and quiet moments. It was spacious enough for everyone in our family to spread out, yet cozy enough that we naturally gathered to enjoy time together.The attention to detail truly set this place apart. The host even put up a Christmas tree for us, which instantly made it feel welcoming. The layout of the house is fantastic, the kitchen is exceptionally well equipped (including surviving our enthusiastic first use of a new cast iron pan—fire alarm included—and which we happily left behind for future guests ), and the views of the lake were simply stunning.We especially loved the extra touches throughout the home - everything is dog friendly, bathroom towel warmers, two laundry/mudrooms (for my fellow dog owners), superb hot tub, Sonos sound system (in and out), large carport (life saver during ice/snow), and a space that feels both cozy and modern at the same time. The host was gracious, responsive, and incredibly accommodating, always accessible without being intrusive.This was a truly special place to spend the holidays, and we’re already looking forward to coming back during warmer weather (if we can find an opening!). A beautiful home, a peaceful setting, and a great host. You can’t go wrong here.

The property is absolutely gorgeous. The lake setting, the porch and hot tub overlooking the lake and a fire pit. The newly built house is stunning-the rooms, the ample kitchen and dining area, the immense tvs-one in the family room by the gas fireplace and the other in the lower level. There are 3 really nice bathrooms and a powder room. There is a fitness area on the lower level with exercise bike, elliptical trainer and a ping pong table. Mike, the owner, did an outstanding job directing the building of this house. And Mike is the best at responding to issues quickly and expertly. We have been coming to Deep Creek for over 20 years with most of it at the previous Sunny Escape and now at Sunny Escape II. You can not go wrong with staying at Sunny Escape II. It is Outstanding.

The location is ideal and the house was amazing. Communication with Mike could not have been better, we will definitely be back!

Sunny Escape has always been our favorite Deep Creek rental, even before the recent renovation. The location is ideal in being quiet water front off the main drag but still close to restaurants and grocery stores. Mike is a superb host who is available and helpful and who equips the house with all you need in terms of how the fully modern kitchen has the spices and utensils you probably rely on at home. The renovation puts Sunny Escape over the top. It is beautiful and has an exquisite panoramic view of the lake from the living room and kitchen and deck. The house now has more than doubled in size with 4 good size bedrooms and a family room and game room downstairs. The wifi is excellent. There are two huge televisions and it even has a carport terminal for chargine electic vehicles. Wonderful and the fishing is good.

We had an excellent stay at Mike’s lake house. The photos don’t do the home justice. It’s such a beautiful spot to leaf peep and enjoy lake activities. The home was clean, spacious and fun for all. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful newly constructed home with all the bells and whistles. Perfect location. Close to everything but off the beaten path. Excellent accessibility to main living level from covered parking. Gentle slope to fire pit and dock with easy launching of kayaks. Pet friendly deck and yard.

Beautiful home with convenient access to the lake. Loved the deck and the lower outside area. Home was comfortable and neat.

Our group found the house to be clean, comfortable, and located right on the lake with a dock. We would certainly book the property again.

This was our 4th time staying at Sunny Escape but our first in version 2.0. The remodel is stunning and spacious. We are always impressed with the cleanliness and comfort. We were a bit disappointed with the loss of the hot tub but had an amazing time regardless.

Sunny Escape 2 is an amazing property on Deep Creek Lake! We truly enjoyed our week on the lake and the property had everything we could ask for! The owner was always extremely responsive and able to handle of our needs and answer our questions! We can't wait to return next year!

What an absolute gem! My family just returned from a fabulous week at Sunny Escape (2). Mom, Dad, 14yo, 11yo. This home is very special. The owner cares deeply about this property and its footprint in the world - and that shows in the way the home is built, maintained, advertised, stocked, presented, to the way he communicates with guests. Thoughtful touches everywhere. Highly recommend.Some additional positives / details that might also be interesting to you:Location is fantastic for views and accessing main hubs for activities, food, supplies (by car).Location is busy with boat traffic, particularly during the sunniest summer weekend days :) You can people watch AND relax - best of both worlds.We successfully swam and launched kayaks as well as a paddleboard often - we felt most comfortable paddling and exploring out on the water early morning and evening.The road is lovely and walkable.Beds and linens are gloriously comfortable.Home is well supplied with amenities, kitchen supplies, cleaning supplies, games, etc.Additional local activity highlights for us: hiking (Swallow Falls, in particular), dining (venture to Pawn Run, Brewery and the Beast, Firewater, Lakeside Creamery), and s’mores making (Arrowhead has everything you need).Enjoy!

Don't wait, BOOK NOW! It WILL sell out next year.We booked with Michael in January for a trip in early July with the hopes that the renovations would be complete. Unfortunately, they were not. Michael reached out with an update and photos, and said that they would do everything to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Upon reviewing the photos, we decided to keep our reservation. Let me tell you that they went above and beyond for us. Upon arrival, we were surprised at what a great location it is and how beautiful the house was. The pictures do not do it justice. The view from the deck is absolutely beautiful! The fenced-in area is great for dogs and a toddler pool, and the lower yard is also the perfect size for kids and a dog. The passive temperature control allowed us to leave the door open just enough for the doggos to go in and out and do their thing. This is by far the most dog-friendly place we've stayed at. They even had a waste bin outside for the doggie bags. :)Just an FYI - it is a highly travelled area for boats, but it is still safe to swim. Our 10 y.o. niece was in the water EVERY day.We have already booked for next year and cannot wait!

First time to Deep Creek, MD had a fun time boating & hanging out with family. Sunny Escape is a beautiful property with everything to make our stay comfortable. It is spacious, loved the covered balcony overlooking the lake. Host is great. We would highly recommend this property.

The home was clean and everything was brand new. Although the house wasnt finished, we enjoyed our stay.
