SPACIOUS INTERIOR
Inside, the open concept main level flows nicely for everyone to spend time together. Stylish décor and furnishings combine to provide the perfect upscale lake house vibe. Ample seating in the great room gives everyone a spot to watch TV or warm up by the glow of the gas fireplace.

Unique accents like a live edge center island, concrete counters, and a copper farm sink highlight the well-equipped kitchen. Outfitted with stainless steel appliances, there is also a second refrigerator in the laundry area for extra items. Come together for home cooked meals around the dining table that accommodates twelve. Bar seating in the adjoining kitchen provides additional space. Sliders open to the deck for outdoor dining or easy use of the gas grill.

The media room adds to your living space as well as doubling as sleeping quarters with a queen sleeper sofa. Settle in to watch a movie or take advantage of the yoga mat and hand weights for a light workout.

Furnished with a king bed and TV, the main level primary suite gives you the comfort you deserve. You are sure to wake up well-rested and ready to tackle Deep Creek Lake adventures.

Upstairs, the loft is a fun hang-out spot for friends or family. Play shuffleboard and arcade games or use it as a quiet space to catch up on your reading.

The roomy upper-level primary suite is decorated in soothing tones that will help you unwind. From the sofa to the king bed, there is plenty of room for relaxation while you watch TV.
Bright and airy with shiplap walls, the upper-level bedroom with a queen bed and TV promises to deliver a good night's sleep. The second bedroom is perfect for the kids. It has two, built-in duobunks, a TV, and room to play.

OUTDOOR LIVING SPACE
Parklike outdoor living space includes a large deck with a hot tub, small dining table for four, and lounge seating. At the bottom of the deck stairs, there is a beautiful pergola that hangs over a large concrete dining table (seats fourteen) that serves a dual purpose as an outdoor ping-pong table. At night, the entire back yard lights up with landscape lights.

The focal point of the back yard is the large circle patio with built in bench seating and the extra-large fire pit. Lots of outdoor games like corn hole, horseshoes, and can jam are stored and available for family fun.

Thanksgiving at Deep Creek Lake
The house was beautiful and clean and in a great location (and smelled great too!). We arrived on Thanksgiving day and were pleasantly surprised to find a decorated Christmas tree lit by the fireplace. The house is a very convenient 10-15 minute drive to Oakland or McHenry. We loved sitting in the hot tub while it was snowing. Our granddaughter enjoyed the arcade game upstairs and was really excited about the bunk bed room. We had a wonderful stay and would love to come back in the warmer months so we could enjoy the beautiful outdoor amenities, as well. The staff was very friendly and helpful with any questions we had. Would definitely recommend!

Wonderful snowy weekend!
This house was perfect for our almost blizzard conditions! Warm, cozy, but plenty of room for our six adults. I would recommend this house anytime!

Gathering Place
We rented the Gathering Place for a long weekend during a beautiful Fall weekend. The location was great, close to the water and only about 15 minutes to Swallow Falls. The house was very welcoming and cozy, but larger than what it appears online. The bed was comfortable and the hot tub and fireplace were so nice to come home to! Communication was great with the host and they were very helpful and quick with their responses. If you're looking for a Deep Creek home to rent, this is the place!

A perfect “Gathering Place” for our family!
We were very impressed with this property. It was almost as if it was made for our family. We were planning a fall getaway as a celebration of my husband’s retirement. Perfect size for the 12 of us. Our son, daughter, their spouses and our six grandchildren loved every minute. Fishing, gaming, hot-tubbing & s’mores around the fire pit every night! The house was clean, well-furnished and the kitchen had everything we needed. Our teenaged boys shared the roomy bunk room. Our college-student granddaughter had the den. The 2 younger boys had the sofa-bed in their parents room. I could go on & on! There was even seating for 12 around the dining room table! Perfect! Our small dogs safely spent time on the large deck with the safety screen furnished by owners. We would definitely rent this lovely home again! #family12

The Gathering Place
TimberRock Village is so impressive! Beautiful and quickly growing. We stayed in one of the original homes which now needs some routine maintenance. Focus seems to be on current construction. The soon to be open lodge and new houses are amazing! The design of the house is perfect for families. We really enjoyed our vacation there. Alyssa was a delight! We hope to return to Deep Creek Lake!

Perfect family getaway
The gathering place is a wonderful retreat for family and friends. Well stocked and nicely located. Easy walk down to the water for boating, swimming, and taking in sunsets. The backyard fire pit and games were a wonderful addition to our week.

The best spot in Deep Creek
Everything about this place is perfect. It's clean, spacious and the layout is fantastic for a medium/large group. The whole house is just well thought out for a vacation. It's great for socializing or for tucking away and getting some quiet time. Also, maybe the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in!

Amazing Property on Deep Creek
Amazing property on Deep Creek. Short walk from the back yard to the lake. The fire pit & hot tub added so much to our family vacation experience! The arcade and shuffleboard were a nice touch. Swallow Falls is a quick 6 minute drive from the property. Highly recommend!

Perfect Ladies weekend
The Gathering Place was a fantastic place to stay with a group of 11 women. It was very well appointed, and had everything we could possibly need. The house was beautiful and very well taken care of. The fire pit and hot tub were perfect for chilly fall evenings. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to others. Working with Jody was so easy and delightful.
