Private Lake/Beach w Golf, Fire Pit, Deck & WiFi!

Summary:
The Robin’s Nest is a cozy cabin just steps away from Alpine Lake, with everything you need for your getaway.

The highlights:
- Walk 15 min over to Alpine Lake for swimming, fishing, & boat rentals
- Enjoy the private beach, indoor pool, and fitness center - all for free!
- Hang out and grill on the deck, or roast s’mores around the fire pit
- Stream movies or take video calls on the fastest WiFi you can get
- Play a round of golf or drive 40 min to Wisp Ski Resort or Deep Creek Lake

The Space:
Our family-friendly cabin is packed with amenities and fun for couples, families or small groups of friends.

The cabin includes:
- 2 bedrooms + a loft sleeping area (four beds total)
- A deck and huge backyard with a propane grill, fire pit, and teepee/fort for the kiddos
- Fast WiFi that's good enough to stream movies on the TV and hold video calls
- Fully-stocked kitchen with a dishwasher, stove/oven, and microwave
- AC units in the main bedroom and living room

Our cabin is part of Alpine Lake resort, with all the lakeside amenities. We’re just a few minute walk from the lake itself, where you can relax on the beach, head out for a swim, go fishing, or take out a canoe/kayak. The lake is over 150 acres, so plenty of areas to explore.

Alpine Lake also has a ton of other activities available for you (all for free!), including:
- Indoor pool (open year-round)
- Fitness center
- Tennis, basketball, and pickleball courts
- Hiking trails (and cross-country skiing in the winter)

Alpine Lake also has an award-winning, 18-hole golf course. Tee-time is bookable and prices and availability vary seasonally. Enjoy the great West Virginia outdoors in the pristine, wooded course on the lake!

Everyone’s sure to find something fun to do regardless of the season. And while we’re so close to everything, you can always retreat back to the cabin for your own little oasis in the woods.

We often take our three little kids and dog to the cabin with us, so we're very family- and dog-friendly. Unfortunately we don't allow cats (we're allergic).

Beyond the cabin and everything at Alpine Lake, we also love how close we are to Deep Creek Lake and Wisp Ski Resort -- both only about 40 minutes away. Great options in both the summer and winter!

Fun family getaway
We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin is pretty no frills, but had pretty much everything we needed to have a wonderful trip (2 adults, 2 kids under 6, dog). The amenities at the resort we took advantage of (beach/lake, indoor pool, hiking trails) were also lots of fun and convenient.

The rental was not very clean. We were told that there would be two pool passes on the fridge which there was not and we had to drive to the Lodge Office to obtain them.

Good Getaway
Overall it’s a good vacation place. My opinion, they need a better cleaning service. On the other hand, we as guests, meaning everyone that stays here during the year, need to follow the rules! Grill not cleaned after use. Bags only in the outside trash. Watched trash get picked up in the morning, the kid just pulls out the bags. No automatic dump trucks! Poor kid.. the bottom of the cans were nasty with garbage. I cleaned them. Some dishes from previous guests were not cleaned. Not much of a selection for boat rentals. The fishing was great! Less than 30 seconds for a bite every cast! Live bait for perch. Grandson caught one big salmon on lure! Go to Oakland Maryland for everything! The Mexican restaurant recommended is good! The biggest takeaway I have from my visit is the guests that stay, make it difficult for the next visitor. Follow the rules and leave the house as if your mother in law is going to visit next!

Alpine lake cabin
The property was as advertised. Nice quiet lake with no motors, good fishing. We brought kayaks but amenities on resort quite limited: decent pool, large but dated gym, limited restaurant, bar was closed, game room closed.

Late weekend/early week stay
Pictures and reviews are accurate. Coffee maker is 12 cup and filters were provided. Fire pit was great as were the Adirondack chairs (4). Extra chairs on both porches. Oversized vehicles may want to back into driveway. Grill worked fine. Bedrooms were spacious. Quiet location. Check on available amenities and times/rentals with the lodge in advance. Communication with owner was excellent and clear. Happy with our experience. 😁

Very comfortable, super clean and love the decor
We stayed at Robin's Nest just one night and loved it! First, the place is SO clean and neat as a pin. We loved the decor - tasteful yet simple and quaint. The bed in the master was very comfortable. Love that there is a bathroom on each floor and so happy to see a place with so many hooks for hanging jackets, clothes, bags, towels, etc. This place sleeps more people than you might think and those are the practical touches that can make a big difference. We just love Alpine Lake resort - beautiful and quiet - a place to get away and rejuvenate. Thank you for a great stay.

Birthday Getaway
I wanted a nice & peaceful but still eventful getaway for my Husband’s 41st Birthday! And Thanks to Tony’s amazing home, hospitality and his staff that’s exactly what we got! The house was very cozy but somehow still spacious, welcoming and CLEAN!! We were able to, stream our shows on TV (which is a MUST) grill on the back deck, make s’mores at the fire pit and our dogs absolutely LOVED the spacious backyard. And though we loved the privacy we also loved how close we were to town, so it was convenient to go and hang out! So between swimming at the indoor pool, hanging out at the lake, and going into town- myself, my Husband, our friends, and our dogs had a blast. And we can’t wait to return!!

This was a cute cabin and has access to nice amenities, but it was overpriced. It is falsely advertised as having 2 queens and 2 doubles, but it actually has 2 queens and 2 twins. The rooms are not separated/insulated well, so it's essentially a 1-room cabin (where you can hear everything that's happening elsewhere in the cabin). And the AC unit downstairs runs constantly, so it's hard to hear the TV or hear to talk to others in the livingroom. It's still a nice/cute cabin, but good to know what to expect before a trip.

Just what the doctor ordered!
A much needed getaway with all that has happened in the past year. Property is as described with all the comforts of home in a gated, private community. Tony, was in contact with us daily to see if there was anything that we may have needed and to make sure that we were enjoyin our stay. The weather was beautiful and we most likely will be back again!

Nice place, listing was inaccurate
The property was listed as having A/C however when we arrived our first night (it was over 80 degrees and very humid from the rain) there was no A/C installed. The owner told me he hadn't got around to the install yet despite it listed as an amenity. Might want to check before any spring or fall stays that they have everything ready.

Two day getaway with a couple friends. Cabin has everything needed in the way of creature comforts and is situated on a wooded lot with a fire pit. Short ride to Swallow Falls and Oakland, MD which has whatever you need if you forgot to bring something.

Amazing rental, Amazing host
This cabin was the perfect size for 4 adults and a toddler. The place was clean and very cozy. There was an abundance of firewood as stated. I would recommend this cabin in a heartbeat. Tony was amazing to deal with. Answered texts immediately and had already provided us with some trails and hidden gems before we arrived. We are hoping to rent from him again in the future. Thank you so much for a much needed worry free weekend!

Perfect for a short stay
As a family of 6 I think I underestimated the size of the house and actual bedrooms. We made it work and it was a nice stay and gave us the chance to check out the area for when we build our own lake house at Alpine lake. Communication between the owner was fantastic!!! I just don't think it was a the right fit for my family to 100% enjoy the home for it being a "3 bedroom" home.

Snowy Family Getaway
We stayed during February 2021 with our 3 children and dog. Even though it didn't snow during our stay there was a lot on the ground and the kids and pup had fun playing in the yard. We made side trips to WISP and Blackwater Falls for more snowy fun. The kids were able to attend virtual school in the mornings with no issues. It checked all the boxes for us!
