The Perch | Pet Friendly, Lake Access, Great Views!
Tucked on a hillside overlooking Deep Creek Lake, The Perch welcomes families and friends to make lasting vacation memories throughout all four seasons. You will love having easy lake access within less than 1 mile! A wall of windows greets you when you step inside the main level giving you a bird's eye view of the lake and surrounding mountains. Charming decor fills the open floor plan that is highlighted by cathedral ceilings, exposed beams and lots of natural light. Ample seating in the great room gives everyone a spot to get cozy by the gas fireplace after a day of hiking or skiing. The well-equipped kitchen has everything you need to make homestyle meals for your favorite people. A center island with seating for two gives you a place to serve snacks and drinks. With seating for ten, the dining table gives everyone a spot to share dinner and great conversation. You can also dine outdoors on the expansive deck with the sounds of nature all around you. Decorated with a good night's sleep in mind, there are two bedrooms on the main level. One is furnished with a king bed and the other has a queen. Upstairs, the loft adds to your living space and gives you a sleeping area for guests too. Two double futons give you the perfect vantage point to watch your favorite shows on the wall-mounted flatscreen. There is also a bedroom with a queen bed on this level. Great outdoor space is truly a perk offered by The Perch. Offering long range views and stunning sunrises, the partially covered deck wraps around the house. You will love lounging on the porch swing with your morning coffee as you watch the mist rise off the lake. The Paradise Ridge community offers easy lake access that is within a very short drive ~ less than 1 mile! Located on a quiet cove, you can enjoy swimming, fishing, kayaking and lakeside picnics on sunny summer days. Within a ten to fifteen-minute drive, you will find white water rafting at the Adventure Sports Center, year-round fun at Wisp Resort, numerous restaurants, golf, ziplines and much more. Be sure to include a trip to at least one of our seven state parks while you are here. Take photos of majestic waterfalls, hike through vibrant fall foliage, canoe on a quiet lake or fish from the shoreline as boats cruise by. There is something for every age and interest. Make your reservations today so that you can start counting down the days until you are at Deep Creek Lake!

Very spacious and clean. Kitchen was well stocked with equipment. The "perch" decor theme was cute. The view for the sunrise was gorgeous.

The Perch was perfect for our family stay. Our daughter loved the ping pong table, swings, and firepit. The hot tub was great. The space was beautiful. The beds were comfy. My only complaint is the dartboard and corn hole sets need updating/refurbishing.

Came to the lake for a wedding. We brought our kids so our parents watched the kids in the Perch while we were at the wedding. They loved the house and played very well. Everything was very clean. We would definitely come back.
The Perch was everything it says it is! Cozy cabin atmosphere, an abundance of amenities, and a view of the lake. It was by far the best place I’ve stayed at in Deep Creek.
There was lots of space for the six adults to be together for meals and activities, but there was also sufficient space to disperse for independent activities.

This was a nice place to getaway and enjoy some quiet time and nature. The house had nice furniture and decorations were very tasteful. Everything was clean overall and checkin was really easy. It’s a nice house if you have kids and want different hangout spaces.
Weekend getaway with our adult children and 6-month old granddaughter. Loved that the home was pet-friendly (all our dog watchers were with us!!). Hot tub was a hit with everyone!!! Ping pong table, puzzles, and games were some of the most important things we looked for in a rental. We were looking forward to a campfire but it rained. Rooms were perfect for our family - Treehouse room was ideal for putting a baby to sleep! She also loved the baby swing!! The space was the perfect size for our group. Wish we had more time to enjoy everything!! We would love to come back!!!!!

Great view of deep creek lake from this lovely house and magnificent deck. We had a great time doing nothing at this house except relax, grill, soak in the hot tub, read books, see the stars and nature, and (again) relax. We also rented a boat (thanks Funtime Watersports!), received massages and facials (thanks Massage at the Lake!) and enjoyed dinners in Oakland and McHenry. Definitely recommended!
The house was perfect for our group of 4 adults and 3 toddlers. The open spaces on the deck were lovely every morning and evening! The house is well situated near all the parks and places to eat. It was our first time in Deep Creek, and this experience will have us returning! When we arrived the sink of the main bedroom was clogged. The customer service was quick to respond, and had it fixed immediately which was fantastic and very appreciated. I would definitely stay here again!
We had a fantastic and restorative stay at the Perch. My husband, dog Pepper and I enjoyed four nights at the Perch. The property was exactly as advertised, clean and well equipped. We spent time reading, napping, playing games, enjoying the hot tub and making delicious food. It was a great place for us to unwind and disconnect from our busy jobs. We also enjoyed being so close to many parks and hiking trails. We will certainly return and have already shared our experience at the Perch with friends who were looking for a rental.
Had a wonderful time with the family! I would consider renting this property again during summer time and never on winter. Shoveling the driveway is not fun and driving on hills to the property from town is stressful when it's snowing like cates and dogs.

Thank you! I'm so glad you had such a good time. Because of our location in the mountains, we do get quite a bit of snow in the winter. 4WD is recommended. If you want to return in the winter, we would be happy to help you find a property with more level access. The Perch is a great spot in the summer, and we look forward to seeing you again!
The Perch worked out wonderfully for us and the grandkids. The kids enjoyed the basement amenities, but they really enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit. The beds were a bit firm, but overall fine. The house was clean and well stocked with whatever you may need to prepare and serve a meal. The various feather friend related items, to include the tree on the stairway impressed the kids. We used the grill quite a bit, so that being available was a benefit. As we spent the 4th there, we were pleasantly surprised that we could see multiple towns and villages fireworks from the porch. The kids really, really enjoyed that.

Thank you! I'm glad you had a good time at The Perch! I apologize for any confusion about the lake access. The distance (less than 1 mile) is mentioned in the description, but I will move this to the first paragraph to make it more clear. We appreciate your feedback!
I love a place with a theme and The Perch certainly delivers! From the owl art on the walls to the lighted bird houses on top of the cabinets the decor was so neat and my kids loved "the treehouse." The Perch is so much more than the decor though, the views from the deck are absolutely beautiful, hanging out in the hot tub was relaxing and the layout was perfect for our family (4 kids and grandparents!). My kids loved all the games and toys available (ping pong and legos were a big hit) plus there was plenty of space for the adults to hang out and relax outside while the kids ran around. In addition to all that I thought the beds were comfy and everything was very clean. We plan to come back again in the future and make more lakehouse memories!

Property Great Management Not So Much
We LOVED the house! 3 days before our reservation I asked for early check-in to the property, at noon instead of 4pm, for an additional fee which I agreed to (this was all done over the app instead of calling... my mistake). Skip to the day of the trip, I realized I never received any information about check in which made me nervous so I called to get the information. I arrived 45mins after noon and the entry code did not work. I called again and they said the house wasn't ready and it would be 30 to 60 mins. At this point I was annoyed. I had cold groceries and had to use the restroom. Once we gained access we had a great weekend with no contact from the rental company. Then on the day we checked out I received a text saying "It's check in day!" with other information. Their system must be all jacked up. As long as I'm not charged the early check in fee I will be happy and rent from them again. Everyone deserves a second chance plus I learned some lessons too!
