| Definitely a Thumbs Up Weekend! Our family (17 total) planned a get together for the first time. It will be remembered at Bear Hollow & Racoon Lagoon for years to come. Plenty of room for everyone. Many comments on the decor. Very clean cabins & comfortable sleeping quarters. Our Autumn Glory Festival weekend with a breath taking view. There was plenty to do. It was nice to have fancy feasts and enjoy each others company. I believe we ALL agreed that we found a fabulous place for next year. Thank you for sharing your cabins with us. |

| We used this opportunity to vacation with our (8) children and their spouses, friends and it did not disappoint at all. The home was magnificent, all the accommodations and ammenities were fantastic and comfortable. The location was near everything(roadside) and also away from everything(lakeside) at the same time. This was a vacation that our family will never forget. Thank you Bear Hollow,to the Lutes & Zimmermans! |

| WOW!!!!!Wow!!!!!Wow!!!!!Racoon Lagoon is everything and more than the web site states. The view is fantastic. If you stand in the kitchen and look out you feel you are standing right next to the lake, that is how close you are. You will walk around everyday admiring the workmanship and detail in this house.You can relax on the deck and have a spectacular view of the lake. Many bathrooms, beds are comfortable for great sleeping and the house is very clean. I have rented many houses at the lake this is the best one I have rented. Hopefully we will be back next year. |

What a wonderful house!! It had everything that we needed and then some. The bedrooms were gorgeous and the amenities fantastic.
After renting a different house every year for 12 years we have found a house that we would like to come back to!!
Thanks for the great time,

The Bear Hollow property was absoutely stunning! The house itself was charming and everything the owners said it would be and more! It was beauifully decorated and very welcoming for a family of 12. Pleanty of room both inside and out and the view of the lake was breathtaking.
Everything we needed was located close by, and my husband and I, our kids and grandkdis had tons of fun. The adults throughly enjoyed fishing, hiking, and the Wisp resort activities. The little ones had lots of fun particiating in different functions at the state park and nearby attractions. The only negative comment, we only had one week there and we wish the the weather would have been a lttle warmer to take better advantage of the lake.
All in all, its a wonderful family vacation spot; I'd highly recommend it to anyone. |

| Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. It was just wonderful. We had pots and pans to cook with. Most places don't have the nicer kitchen things to use like your Bear Hollow home. The girls stayed down stairs and we only saw them at meals or when we where out on the water. We called the downstairs "The She Cave". We all had a great time and stay!!! |

| We had the most relaxing winter vacation at Racoon Lagoon thanks to the owners who have provided not only a beautiful home - but lovely furnishings and extras to make it even more special. We've stayed at Deep Creek for years but this is the first time we felt warmly welcomed in a rental property. Very nicely done! Great location as well. |

| Thanks so much for helping us make wonderful family Christmas memories at Bear Hollow. Your place is incredible and has the perfect view. Your home is warm and inviting and we all fell in love w/ it. Nothing was overlooked. I must also comment about the cleanliness. There was not a speck of dust ANYWHERE in your home and it looked brand new. The beds were comfortable, there is more than enough seating and everything was provided for us (special thanks for the gift basket.) John, Adrianne and Stacey were all awesome to deal with and were accessible during our entire stay for our crazy questions. We WILL return. Thanks again for helping us make this the best Christmas ever.. David and Geralyn FUller |

| What a wonderful place with a beautiful view! We spent a fun November weekend at Bear Hollow with 8 friends, 2 babies, & 2 dogs. The dogs loved the deck & the lake. The humans loved the fireplaces, huge kitchen, comfy beds, bright & clean bathrooms, and warm open living spaces. And only a 3 hr 15 min drive from DC! |

| This house is absolutely grogeous. Our whole family spent a week at Bear Hollow, we had a wonderful time. We had plently of room for all and the extras that are with the house were great, we had our 7 month old grandson with and they had all the things we needed for him [pak n' play, high chair, stroller]. The weather here is wonderful, 70's and low 80's. John and Adraine were very quick on answering all our questions before and after we booked our week. Everything went very smoothly. We hope to stay again in the future. I would highly recommend this place for anyone who is looking for a relaxing vacation to spend it here. |

I have wanted to get to Deep Creek MD. for 10 yrs, however something always came up that it could not happen. Anyway we made it this year for 5 days over Memorial Day weekend. What can I say! I feel like I have won the lotto when I found "Bear Hollow" and John & Adraine Lutes. First, the place is a secret part of paradise that I did not want to share , However I Must, it is CLEAN, beautiful furniture, well stocked kitchens with pots, pans, silverware, plates.(You want it they have it).The view of the lake from the house will take you breath away. The dock at the house was nice to park the boats for that 5AM fishing. Then take the family out at noon on the pontoon boat for a day of fun and sun on a beautiful CLEAN lake. Now to Jon & Adraine, they are the most kind and friendly people you want to meet.They made sure all my questions were taken care of, always returned calls or emails. Gave many recommendations for things to do at the lake. They made my decision to RENT real easy. We will return to Bear Hollow many Times.
They say good things come to people who wait, I waited 10yrs to get to Deep Creek and GREAT THINGS HAPPEN TO US "JOHN & ADRAINE and Bear Hollow".
Thanks for making a great vacation for my family and I. Even my wife who is a beach person is telling everyone about what a great time she had, and how great Bear Hollow was.
On a scale of 1-10 I give them a 100+++
Thanks again Jon & Adraine

Our Family had a wonderful Winter Vacation in your beautiful home, Snow falling, a fire in the fireplace, view of the lake. Seeing snowmobiles run on the frozen lake was quite a thrill on the noon lite nights. Plenty of room to spare for all eleven of us.
The house was well stocked with accommodiation: silverware, pots, pans, dishes, cookware, glasses and blankets.
This will call for a return visit! Thank you owners!

| Yes, you are in the heart of Deep Creek Lake when you stay at this incredible house. You can walk to the nearby boat rental! The house and its furnishings are very special--like new and with lots of charm and creativity. The windows to the lake offer a wide vista on nature. All rooms are spacious and comfortable. These owners have thought of everything. They even let us arrive early! Great to deal with! |
