Summary: Great spot in the beautiful Maryland mountains right on the Savage River ... with a tremendous pool and great, deep runs footsteps from the back door. Still early with very cold water and sluggish, skittish fish. But still a great place for a fun and quiet Spring respite. Easy drive to all the Savage tributaries and great hikes. Couple of good restaurants down in Oakland. Fisherman, book this place!

Summary: Four of us enjoyed a very relaxing and peaceful week in Rainbow cottage, sitting on the deck listening to the river and the birds and site seeing in the Deep Creek area. The house has everything you need, especially a very well equipped kitchen. Cell service is a little spotty and there is no internet in the house but that didn’t bother us- it was nice being “off the grid “- and there is WiFi in the shop next door if you absolutely need to connect. The house is very much “off the beaten path “ and the narrow and winding roads need to be navigated with care but you really are only about 20 minutes from Deep Creek Lake. Mike couldn’t have been nicer and he was very responsive to our needs. We’re not fishermen but it looked like the fishing was good!

Summary: The house was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. I loved that there were enough bedrooms for all my children to have their space. Also, the beds were comfortable. The kids loved the creek and the scenery was beautiful. Even though there is a house on each side, it was still very peaceful and quiet. The one tip I would give others is to know where you are going without gps because reception is spotty. We would definitely go again.

Summary: Great host with fly fishing wisdom. Great cabin, just feet from the Savage River. 2.5 bathrooms for 4 bedrooms. Spacious living room, dining room , kitchen and basement apartment. Easy, clean and comfortable. Exceeds expectations. Access to Savage, North Branch of the Potomac, tributaries and reservoirs. Don’t count on fast internet. But isn’t that why you come to the Savage River., to catch difficult fish not watch YouTube videos about fishing.

Summary: The Rainbow Cabin was excellent with an amazing trout pool in the backyard. Great way to experience the Savage River in comfort. The Fly Shop next store provided great information regarding the river as well as places to eat and visit in the area and you can book Charlie for personal lessons and guided trips. Outstanding experience, we'll be back in the fall to focus on casting on the Savage.
