Minutes to the Wisp, private, kid & pet friendly ranch

Unwind in McHenry at this carefully designed house up on the hill made for privacy and hanging out. This adorable property features 3 bedrooms: 1 king bed, 1 queen beds, 2 twin beds, a portable twin bed, and a portable pack and play. With 1 full bathroom in the first bedroom and a second full bathroom in the hallway for the other two bedrooms to share, you will find a shower/tub combo and all the amenities you need to make your packing light and trip enjoyable. We provide linens, towels, shampoo/conditioner, soap, qtips, makeup wipes, hair dryer, straightener, coffee, kcups, etc.. This terrific house also offers a cozy bohemian vibe to help you fully embrace the seclusion of the location and being in the woods/pines near the lake. We hope you'll enjoy your stay at our house while playing with the games we've provided, reading a book, having a fire outside or enjoying the gazebo.

A well appointed house in a great location - you have some privacy but ear enough deep creek. We will be back! Very family friendly in the details.

I took my kids snowboarding to wisp and stayed here. I've done this a bunch and stayed a lot of different houses in the deep Creek area, and I can say that this is definitely the best one we've stayed at. It's only about 10 minutes from wisp. It was immaculate when we came inside, and it literally had everything you needed. I forgot my toothbrush and they even had new toothbrushes in the bathroom. Plenty of towels, coffee, shampoo and conditioner in the bathrooms, beds were super comfy, it stayed nice and warm in all the rooms. Really couldn't recommend it enough if you're looking for a place to stay in the deep Creek area.
