Recent Swanton vacation rental reviews

The location was great and the house had everything that we needed. We will definitely be back to stay again.
Charles J. | May 2025
Just 2 of us looking forward to a quiet, low activity relaxing weekend. This was perfect- all we saw were trees (distant cabins) and all we heard were birdsong. We loved the cabin feel, and it was very clean and well-stocked; best stocked rental kitchen I've ever seen, though there is absolutely no food basics, so bring everything you need. This would be perfect for a family- lots of outdoor space to play. Also, an area for a playroom and so many games and toys. And as isolated as we felt, we were minutes from Deep Creek State Park and McHenry and the lake. I enthusiastically recommend this house

Penty of space and suited well for nine people

Where is Swanton, MD?

Swanton is located in the sparsely populated western panhandle of Maryland, in the heart of the Eastern Deciduous Forest. Despite its remoteness, it remains easily accessible from many of the East Coast's major cities (two hours from Pittsburgh, and a little over three from Baltimore and Washington DC), making it a peaceful escape from the bustle of urban life.

Things to do in Swanton, MD

With a population of only 58 people, Swanton's tiny size belies its enormous variety of year-round outdoor activities. Within a 15-mile radius, you'll find Maryland's tallest free-flowing waterfall (Muddy Creek Falls, at 54 feet), its largest lake (Deep Creek Lake, with 69 miles of shoreline), and its biggest state park (Savage River State Forest, with 54,000 acres of densely wooded hills). 

These spectacular natural areas have endowed the region with a reputation as an all-season recreational mecca. In the winter, head north to Wisp Mountain, where you can ski, snowboard, and bobsled down a 700-foot vertical drop. In the summer, choose between boating, hiking, mountain biking, fly-fishing, or white-water rafting - to name just a few! Be sure to also stop by the quaint, nearby town of Oakland, where you'll find numerous antique stores, farmers markets, and outdoor festivals.

When you're looking for a country retreat away from the noise of the big city, our vacation rentals in Swanton offer a relaxing and refreshing change of pace. Book a stay and get back to nature!
