McHenry House | Owl's Retreat | Pet Friendly, Hot Tub, Lake!

3 Bedroom House in McHenry

Tucked away in a quiet, wooded community, Owl's Retreat is off-the-beaten-path yet still within minutes from the best of Deep Creek Lake! Plus, it is dog friendly so you can treat your four-legged friend to a vacation too.
The main level is instantly inviting with wood accents and well-chosen decor. Warm up in one of the wingback chairs in the fireside sitting area or kickback on the couch to watch TV in the great room.
Equipped with everything you need to prepare homemade treats, the kitchen is open to the dining room that has seating for six. You can also enjoy meals outdoors on the deck. Woodland scenery and the sounds of nature make the perfect backdrop for a summertime barbecue.
Upstairs, there is a primary suite that is furnished with a queen bed and wall-mounted TV. You will love having a private balcony where you can stargaze before bedtime or sip your coffee each morning.
The upper level also offers a bedroom with a queen bed and TV that is decorated with a good night's sleep in mind. A second bedroom is outfitted with a duobunk and TV. It is the perfect spot for the kids, and they will love having their own space!
Offering room to run and play, the wooded yard is especially beautiful when the fall foliage is on full display. Quiet community roads are ideal for long walks and bike rides. Throughout all four seasons, the bubbling outdoor hot tub is the ideal place to unwind.
Owl's Retreat is only 2.5 miles from the heart of Deep Creek Lake activities, so you can easily reach restaurants, shops, mini golf and more. Wisp Resort has something every age and interest. Skiing, golf, snow tubing, ziplines, mountain biking and disc golf are just a few of the adventures you can experience. On top of the mountain, the Adventure Sports Center has guides who will take you on a thrilling whitewater rafting trip on their man-made river.
Sunny summer days are best spent cruising Deep Creek Lake by boat. Stop by a local marina to rent one and treat your family to on-the-water fun.
Be sure to include our state parks in your vacation itinerary. Deep Creek Lake State Park has a sandy beach for swimming along with multiple playgrounds, picnic areas and hiking trails. The majestic waterfalls at Swallow Falls State Park are also not to be missed. Be sure to bring your camera to capture the picturesque views!
Throughout the Deep Creek Lake area, charming small towns each offer something special. From tasting artisan cheeses and shopping for classic vinyl to browsing antiques and touring museums, there is no shortage of unique experiences.
Whether you are looking for a romantic getaway or a family vacation, Owl's Retreat is the perfect place to make your Deep Creek Lake memories.

Summary: We arrived for our stay at about 9pm. The check in process wasn't an issue, as they had specific instructions for check in after hours. However, the place had not been cleaned. The sheets in the master bedroom were not changed and were stained. The upstairs bathroom tub was so dirty that it had muddy footprints visible and the dirty towels were still on the floor. The sink was also dirty. Several dishes in the kitchen had food residue on them, even though they were put away in the cabinets. I took pictures and called a message for the office asking for a return call the next day. It wasn't returned by 10 am, so I called again, and they did send housekeeping out rather quickly to clean up. However, no one has followed up with me regarding this disappointing experience. It was not addressed during my initial call to the office, even though I stated I was upset about the condition of the house. I submitted two of the automated surveys outlining the issues and I also submitted a request on the website to be contacted. I have not heard from anyone. I hate to leave a negative review, as I'm not usually a complainer. But the basic expectation is that when you arrive to a rental, it is clean. Adding to my negative experience is that no one would even address this with me and it's now been over a week. I wouldn't recommend the cabin.
