Location: McHenry, Deep Creek Lake, Maryland, USA (Deep Creek Lake,MD ... 4.1 miles to Wisp)
Accommodations: House, 2 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 1.5 Baths (Sleeps 6)
New lake access home with private dock available for your use. Bring your own boat,use our 15ft.canoe, or rent one for the week from a local marina and keep it at your own private dock. Large dock in quiet cove is great for sunbathing or swimming. We garantee the dock is in the lake from May first untill October first.The dock must be "pulled" throughed the cold months. If you want to have the dock out for visits in April or October call we wil see if we can accomidate you.
Located close to all Deep Creek Lake activities but tucked away in 3 acres of woods so you can get away from it all. Watch for deer as you enjoy breakfast from your screened in porch. Share quiet nights sitting around your campfire roasting marshmallows, we proide the firewood!
Each bedroom has a queen sized bed and a twin bed. There is additional queen sized Murphy bed in the great room.
we received an inquiry asking a question about "lake access" It has occur to me there may be some confusion about the lake proximity to our house, and the name we use for our place may have added to this
Our house is "the Barn on Lake Shore" because the address is 562 Lake Shore Drive, and we chose to build with the look of a barn (This was in homage to a local landmark a sway back stone barn around the corner on Mayhew Inn road), it is NOT on the shore of Deep Creek Lake. I chose this name for the cute factor, not to deceive anyone
Our property is NOT lake front.To get to our dock you walk down the middle of our property and cross the road, go down our deeded and wooded 15 foot right of way between two lake side houses.We all find it a pleasant walk and the view of our cove sitting on the dock and its landing is lovely and very private.We don't have what I could call a lake view from our house. In the summer you can some time see a glimmer of the lake, when the trees are bare in the winter a little more but thats about it. What we do have is lots of private woods.
No one in the past has ever complained but,we would rather have fewer inquires or renters than have any of our guest be disappointed in our place.
We have tried to make our property pet and kid friendly with casual no-worries decor. It is not small child-proof however,the second floor which contains the living space, has large, low windows, and will require close adult supervision.
We like to cook and you will find a well-equiped kitched. All doors and shelves are labeled to make life easy for you.
Climbing on stonework of barn is prohibited and strictly forbidden.
