We have the Original Hob and Molly (separate listing) overlooking our creek at the point of 7 little waterfalls for your sleeping and hangout pleasure!
A shared sweet kitchen and bath completes the 3 small structures. Full bath plus an outdoor shower makes for great accommodations.
We're within 5 miles of State Parks and Deep Creek Lake.
Come see the Garrett County stars, hear the creek and birds and be a million miles from where you are.
Friendly dogs are welcomed -see "other things to note".

The space
The Original Hob is a cozy cabin with the best back porch in the area! There is no need for air conditioning as open windows let in the cool mountain air and the soothing sound of the creek. You share the kitchen and bath cabin with Molly(separate listing) so coming with another couple or your older children gives you full access to all amenities with friends and family! Of course, it's always fun to meet new people too!

Guest access
Guests have access to grounds around the cabins including the hammock and swings, the outdoor shower, the outdoor fireplace behind our house and the creek! We have water chairs to cool your toes and your drink of choice. Don't forget your water shoes !

Other things to note
We have 2 very friendly border collies on the premises that tend to adopt our guests.
We love to have friendly dogs visit but they do require extra cleaning. Please bring a blanket or sheet for the bed if they must sleep there. A crate if you plan to leave them unattended for a bit. We have a great location for dogs to run around and play! We are not so great for young children as the cabins sit on the edge of a steep slope down to the creek. Arrangements can be made if both cabins are booked.
We are in the woods and the cabins do not have WiFi, so please plan to spend time with your loved ones and nature instead of a screen.
