Location: McHenry, Deep Creek Lake, Western, Maryland, USA (Wisp Ski Resort <1 mile; DC, Balt, Pgh, Philly, Va < 2.5 hrs)
Accommodations: Chalet, 4 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 4 Baths (Sleeps 8-12)
Keywords: Single Family Home, Cul-de-Sac
"A Dream Come True" is the name we chose for our new vacation home, and it could not be more appropriate. We spent months looking for the perfect combination of location, style, amenities (like a 50" Plasma TV), and activities for our friends and family to enjoy. Mission accomplished! Imagine watching the lights fade out on Wisp mountain while unwinding in the bubbling hot tub. Just what you need after a long day spent water-skiing on beautiful Deep Creek Lake, golfing on the six nearby courses, or skiing on Wisp's 32 slopes and 110" of annual snowfall, all only moments away.
A Dream Come True is right in the midst of all the popular summer and winter North Lake activities, and Wisp ski resort is less than a mile away. You can walk to the lake, boat rental shops, Sante Fe Grill, even the supermarket. On snowy Deep Creek days, take the kids to the snow tubing park; in the summer it's just a short walk to the boat rental shops or Fun Land's Go cart raceway and minigolf. By staying here, you avoid the time and traffic driving over the bridges to get to all the North Lake activities and the resort - you are already there.
In the mornings, take a stroll for a nearby cup of fresh coffee. With an acre of privacy, you can let the kids go off and play or ride their bikes on the quiet cul-de-sac (in winter they can sled down the front lawn!). Give them one of the provided two-way radios to stay in touch. Spend your days on the lake, on the slopes, at the nearby State Parks, golfing, mountain biking or antiquing -- the activities are endless -- and don't forget Wisp's new mountain coaster and recirculating whitewater course!
In the evenings, enjoy a game of pool in the recreation room, or watch your favorite DVD on the brand new 50 INCH Hi-Def PLASMA TV with Sony home theater and surround speakers (try Halo for Xbox 360 on the Plasma, truly amazing). Or simply relax with a game of darts, boardgames, or perhaps just a quiet evening spent by the fireplace in the Great Room with cathedral ceiling.
Need some down time? some tranquility? Pull up a chair on the deck and listen to the birds sing among the tall hickories, or kick back on the swing and simply enjoy the foliage on a bright summer day. You are visiting a beautiful mountain lake vacation area, why rent a townhouse or a condo when A Dream Come True has it all for less! Since many of you have asked, there are 4 bedrooms with queen size beds, plus 2 queen sofabeds (1 in the Great room, and 1 in the Family room), and of course the deck, patio and porch in the pictures -- plenty of room for several families.
To help make your vacation memorable and avoid expensive lessons, keep this CHECKLIST in mind when renting: How far away are Wisp and the lake? Will you get a valid contract to back up your deposit? Are the home & furnishings NEW, or do you like "rustic"? If it rains, is the home big enough & filled with amenities to keep everyone happy? Will you need 4-wheel drive to get to the house? Is there cell phone coverage? Will you be wedged in among partying neighbors? Are the grocery store and restaurants nearby? You won't be disappointed here!
Our first renters have raved about A Dream Come True. Come see for yourself! We book up fast so send us an inquiry today -- then get ready for a great vacation! Thanks, Cathy & Alan.

Your house was absolutely WONDERFUL! We had a blast and it was perfect for us. We loved it (esp. the pool table and hot tub), and hope to come back again. You have an awesome place! My sister and her husband came from Dublin, Ireland. We haven't seen her in 2 years and your home made the most awesome reunion for us! Thanks Again, Sarah Jones

Relaxing Weekend

Hello, I must say your home was very comfortable and beautiful. It was the little touches that may the accommodations complete, like the flower arrangements, the pictures, table mats and other household items. Your book collection was great. We always bring extra household items when we come to Deep Creek like pots and cooking utensils, the items remained in the vehicle, because your property had everything we needed. On Saturday we decided to cook on the grill, the propane tank was empty. I called Coldwell and Banker office, they were very pleasant and stated if we refill it just save the receipt for reimbursement. I would highly recommend your property to my friends. Thanks for a Relaxing and Comfortable weekend. (my husband met your brother next door)

Great family vacation, We stayed at A Dream Come True for the last week in June and loved every bit of it. We took the kids Power Wheels and they drove around all evening, and adults wound down in the basement shooting pool and watching movies on the Big Screen after spending the entire day on the lake. Was in a nice easy to find location, home, was bigger than it even seems on pics, with rooms everywhere. thanks again
Owner response:Scott, We're delighted that you & your children enjoyed our home. We've sold out another summer, and now you've seen for yourself why it really is "A Dream Come True". See you next year! Cathy

Hi Cathy, My family and I stayed at your home just recently and I wanted to let you know that we truly enjoyed our stay. We found your home to be very comfortable and in very good condition and the accommodations worked out well for everyone. I found your location to be perfect, close to a lot of things and the view of the slopes at night were really pretty. We tried a couple of restaurants while we were there, the Santa Fe Grill and the Silver Tree, both were good and the Perkins was nice for breakfast. Thanks, and we will certainly come back again and recommend your home to our friends. Mary Day & Family
Owner response:Mary, we're glad you enjoyed your stay -- the weather sure cooperated! See you again when you come back for the beautiful fall foliage. Thanks, Cathy

Hi Cathy, We just wanted to say what a beautiful home you have in Deep Creek. The location without a doubt was perfect. Two families stayed and we never once felt like we were on top of one another. Plenty of room to enjoy all the amenities and the beautiful view. The children were so excited because it snowed not once but twice. The only complaint we ALL had was that we had to come home! Thank you again.
Owner response:Maria, thank you for the kind words. We sold out yet another season, and we're glad you were able to get one of the last dates. Hope to host you again (tell your friends!) Cathy

Cathy & Alan, What a beautiful home. I wanted to touch base with you to let you know that we had a great time staying in your home this past weekend. Your home provided us with everything that we needed to make this a true vacation! We watched fights on the big Plasma, played pool and darts, and hung out in the hot tub, what a way to spend a weekend! Your kitchen provided us with everything we needed to make eating at home very comfortable, and keep the expenses down. Best of all everything was exactly the way it seemed on the internet. I must admit that I have been dooped in the past, thinking I was getting one thing and then being disappointed upon arrival. But everything was just the way you had described it and better! I was complemented the whole weekend about the "Sweet Pad" that I landed for our weekend. Although I took the complements, they truly belong to you. Thank you! Harley Main North Bend Elementary
Owner response:Harley, thanks for the wonderful review. We're glad you had a great time and hope to host you again soon! Cathy

What a wonderful, charming and cozy vacation retreat. It was picture perfect, clean as a whistle and well organized. It had every ammenity you could want, including a 50" plasma hi-def TV with Xbox. The owners, Cathy and Alan, were gracious and most accomidating. The chalet was right next to everything on the lake (marinas, resturants, gift shops, golf, etc., etc.). If you want to explore history and archetecture, George Washington's first battlefield excursion memorial (Fort Necessity) and Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece (Fallingwater) are only 30 minutes away right over the border in Pensylvania. All in all, a great place to vacation, a wonderful home and most accomidation owners and vacation home service providers. I'd highly recommend this property to any and all!!!

I just wanted to thank you for sharing your lovely, immaculate home with my family over Spring Break. We greatly enjoyed your home - the pool table was a big hit with my two boys and the hot tub was heavenly (and clean). We appreciated the nice touches (such as the assortment of oxo utensils, hand soap in the bathrooms). The location was great, and we loved being able to walk to the video store, Perkins and Foodland. It's clear that a lot of care went into building and setting up your home. Thanks again, and we hope to be back! The Kalras
Owner response:Kalras, thanks for the kind words. Everyone loves the location, and we're glad you had great time and enjoyed "A Dream Come True". See you next time, and thanks again! Cathy
