Amenities & Shared Spaces

Entertainment

Two Samsung smart TVs bring the entertainment - a massive 70-inch screen on the main level and a 55-inch on the lower level. Both are set up with streaming apps so you can pick up right where you left off at home. No gaming console on site, but the views through the windows are a show of their own.

Kitchen & Dining

The kitchen is fully stocked for real cooking - coffee maker, blender, toaster, a full range of pots and pans including a roasting pan and baking options, plus all the tools and utensils you need. Dishwasher, refrigerator with working ice and water, stove, and microwave are all in place. Wine glasses, coffee mugs, and a full set of plates and cutlery are provided for up to 6 guests. A corkscrew and can opener are tucked in for those who come prepared.

Technology

★ 70-inch Samsung smart TV on main level with streaming apps
★ 55-inch Samsung smart TV on lower level with streaming apps
★ WiFi available on site

Laundry

Full-size washer and dryer are located on the lower level alongside the breaker panel - convenient for longer stays or anyone arriving with gear.

Outdoor

Step outside and the fire pit greets you right at the front door, hooked to a small propane tank and ready for starlit evenings. The propane grill sits next to the house near the shed with all burners working, a grill mat, cover. (Propane refills are the guest's responsibility.) The setting is wooded and secluded while still being close to town - the best of both worlds.

Guest Access:
Check-in is self-guided with a lockbox outside for key access. The driveway is paved but runs steep and narrow, so guests with larger vehicles should plan accordingly and four-wheel drive is strongly recommended during winter months. Parking is available for up to 3 cars. Your host is available to help if anything comes up during your stay.

The Neighborhood:
Perched in the mountains above Deep Creek Lake, Million Dollar View puts you minutes from some of Western Maryland's most beloved outdoor escapes and small-town charm - and close enough to everything that you never feel far from the action.

▸ Deep Creek Lake State Park: 6.7 miles (12 min) - Swimming, hiking, and scenic lakefront access along Maryland's largest freshwater lake
▸ Wisp Resort: 5.2 miles (9 min) - Skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, and four-season mountain adventure on Maryland's tallest ski area
▸ Swallow Falls State Park: 7.4 miles (16 min) - Waterfall hiking and old-growth forest trails including the stunning Muddy Creek Falls
▸ Adventure Sports Center International: 7.4 miles (13 min) - Whitewater kayaking and outdoor challenge courses on the Youghiogheny River
▸ Blackthorne Cellars: 5.8 miles (10 min) - Local winery with tastings, live music, and mountain views
▸ Garrett 8 Cinemas & Outlets: 3.9 miles (7 min) - Local shopping and evening entertainment in McHenry
▸ Fun Land Family Center: 4.3 miles (7 min) - Go-karts, mini golf, arcade games, and family-friendly fun near the lake

After a day of exploring the mountains and the lake, there is nothing quite like coming back to those views and settling in beside the fire - this is the kind of place that makes you start planning your next trip before you have even left.
