McHenry vacation rentals

A friend and I spent about a week in this home at the end of August, and it was perfect. Really nice home that is nicely maintained. Very clean, and all the spaces seem to have been recently updated, which was important to me. The whole home was very comfortable, especially the beds. We didn't do any cooking, but if we had, we would have had everything we needed. The kitchen was spacious and well stocked with supplies, better than many rental properties I've seen. Guests should note that there is no bathroom on the first floor, so you have to go up or down to use a bathroom. Not necessarily a problem, but helpful to know if someone has mobility challenges. Danielle is a great host. Communication was fantastic. All instructions were very clear, and the guest guide was so helpful for exploring the area and trying out local restaurants (Brenda's Pizzeria was THE BEST!). Only downside was that the home is on a shallow end of the lake and the water level was very low when we were there, so water access wasn't as easy as I might have preferred. However the place where I rented my kayak for the week allowed me to launch from their location, which wasn't too far away, so problem solved. Overall, a really terrific house for a week on the lake, and i wouldn't hesitate to rent here again!

We were looking in the area for a place with a hot tub and that was dog friendly. We found everything we needed and more. First of all, this home is big enough that 3 or 4 couples can sleep comfortably (Plus two pull out sofa beds for even larger groups.) We only used one bedroom while we were here but I think we gave 3 or 4 virtual tours to friends to show them the space. The game room was a really good time too. We spent hours having drinks and listening to music while playing games. Every room has a Roku TV so you can log into your pandora, Netflix, Hulu or whatever and enjoy it while you're there. The auto log out feature is also nice so you don’t have to worry about logging all of your streaming apps out. Now onto the house itself. Beautiful. Everything was so clean and cozy. The bed was very comfortable and the fireplace really helped keep the living room warm. We cooked a couple meals in the kitchen and there is laundry available downstairs. We were in town right when they started to make snow at Wisp. We spent a lot of time hanging out in the hot tub and watching the snow being blown onto the mountain. Overall a great time. The communication from Brian and Jill was great throughout the entire process. All of the instructions for checking in and out were delivered ahead of time and were detailed which made the whole experience easy. This is definitely a great property that is so convenient to the ski slopes in the winter and a short walk or drive to other local restaurants and shopping. We will definitely be back! Thank you! Brian, Andrew & Pearl

The place was amazing and is actually a brand new build. This was an extremely last minute rental due to other plans that fell thru this weekend, but Jill was incredible to work with. Response time was like something I’ve never seen. We also rented a boat and paid to use the dock which is assigned to the house. This was located right down the street and down steps to the lake. So while it wasn’t lakefront, we got to enjoy access to the boat and get back to the house. The steps down to the lake were about a 1/4 mile down the road (like walking one time around a football field, no big deal) The house was immaculate. The indoor pool and gameroom were great for my sons and their teenage friends. Just like the house, all of the appliances are brand new. Two washers and two dryers. There was a large grill that we used to cook 18 burgers at once. There’s was a nice area to hang out on the deck with a tv. We will 100% be back!

Wow! We had an amazing time away at the lake! The home is very beautiful and in a great location. Jesse is a wonderful host! The home is just a short drive to the lake and restaurants. Our morning walks around the neighborhood were very relaxing and surrounded by awesome mountain views and occasional "wildlife" including deer, chipmunks and a groundhog! After a fun day of activities, we enjoyed our late afternoons in the hot tub, followed by dinner and then movie night on the comfy couches! Oh, and how could I forget the ping pong and basketball shooting games downstairs!! Fun!! Will definitely stay at this beautiful home again!

We stayed with a group of 10 (3 babies, 7 adults) and the house comfortably fit everyone. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the home. Being new construction, it felt fresh and modern rather than dated. Towels were plentiful, and we appreciated the baby seats in the kitchen, a nice touch for families. The host was extremely responsive, which made things easy given the spotty cell reception in the area. He was quick to respond when we alerted him about bears on the property, which was reassuring. WiFi worked well inside, though it got choppy at the firepit, which was fine since we were happy to disconnect. The firepit was a highlight, especially with clear starry skies. Funny moment: taking out the trash, we ran into neighbors who were just as lost as us. Minor tip: the dump is a bit of a drive from the community gate, so multiple car trips make it easier. Thanks Jesse, would book again

Our recent stay at this exquisite lakefront home in McHenry, MD, was nothing short of spectacular. The breathtaking views of the lake were mesmerizing, providing a serene and picturesque backdrop for our family vacation. The home itself was impeccably decorated with tasteful and elegant furnishings that made us feel both comfortable and luxurious. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, from the stylish decor to the cozy ambiance of each room. The kitchen was a standout feature, fully equipped with every utensil and accessory one could possibly need. It truly felt like cooking in our own home, with all the conveniences at our fingertips. Our hosts, David and Shari, were extremely generous and friendly. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable, attending to our needs with remarkable thoughtfulness and care. Their dedication to our comfort made our experience all the more memorable. In summary, our family of four had a wonderful time at this beautiful lakeside retreat. We wholeheartedly recommend this property to anyone looking for a perfect blend of elegance, comfort, and stunning natural beauty.
