What a delightful experience we had in this home. McHenry and Deep Creek Lake are gorgeous places for a summer visit. Whether young or adult, there is plenty to do and see. Although you'll need to do some driving to get anywhere (which is a price you pay for wanting to stay on a mountain), it is easy to navigate (Google Maps worked best) and gorgeous everywhere you go.
The house is just lovely. We had 15 guests with a mix of adults (including octogenarians) and small children. There is plenty of seating to enjoy meals together, and lots of space for hanging out while the little ones are napping. There are bedrooms on all floors, with a master on the main floor to allow fewer stairs for the less mobile. We even had several people working 'from home'. The wifi is good and work spaces are plentiful. The are so many bathrooms! Getting everyone ready was a breeze. No issues with water pressure or temp. There are multiple fridges, microwaves and ovens for handling food in-house.
The security entrance for the pool is brilliant for those with kids. The pool is lovely and we used it almost daily. We didn't have time for the hot tub, but it would have been plenty big. The pool table was a bonus. There are also TVs galore, but we never turned one on so I can't speak to the options.
The check-in/out process was the smoothest I have ever experienced in my years of handling our family getaways. I had a visit guide on my phone and the team was available via text.
