Perched atop the Youghiogheny Scenic & Wild River Corridor with magnificent views of the river valley and surrounding Allegheny Mountains in Western Maryland, the Kendall Retreat provides the perfect wilderness escape, while located only a short drive from many vacation activities, exciting attractions, and fine restaurants. The three-bedroom vacation rental cabin is built into the flank of Elder Hill Mountain south of Friendsville at an elevation of 1,960 feet. Surrounded by 12 forestedacres and contiguous to the wild river corridor, the cabin provides the private setting and ideal location for a relaxing yet action-packed, outdoors vacation with your family or friends.
Tastefully furnished, the cabin features three bedrooms, with two queen-size beds, a double bed, and a twin bed; an open living space, with the living room, dining room, and kitchen housed within a single great room; and a fully equipped kitchen, with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, providing comfortable accommodations for up to seven guests. An expansive deck wraps around the open living space, which features wall-size windows, giving access to the home’s charming mountain view from both inside and outside the cabin.
On-site, guests can stroll the grounds on trails around the cabin, sit around the boulder-ringed fire pit, have a ping-pong tournament on the basement table, play the numerous board games provided, watch the DirectTV/Roku-enabled flat-screen television, or just sit and relax. Energetic, adventurous guests may want to hike down to the river through wilderness along steep, undesignated trails to visit the abandoned ghost town of Kendall, for which the cabin is named (approximately 2 miles away with an elevation drop of 460 feet).
Off-site activities include boating at Deep Creek Lake and skiing at the Wisp Resort (both only a 10-minute drive away); hiking the area’s numerous mountain trails; fishing the region’s many lakes and streams; whitewater rafting, mountain biking, horseback riding, golfing, hunting, and much more.

    upon arrival the door code was not given as part of the email so i had to call and luckily i was able to contact someone. At first entry the place smelled like cigar smoke and later confirmed it must be the fireplace. it was fine after we opened the windows for a few hours. all and all the cabin was nice and well stocked. other than the dishwasher not working we were very happy and enjoyed the stay. the property group was responsive.

    We spent a wonderful long weekend at Kendall Retreat. The property was private and the cabin was a wonderful size for our family of 5. Definitely need 4 wheel drive if visiting in the winter, the driveway was a bit rough and we got about 6 inches of snow making it even more important to have 4 wheel drive. The property managers had the driveway plowed same day which was amazing! There was no ping pong table as advertised, which was probably the biggest bummer, the kids were looking forward to late night ping pong battles. All in all it was a beautiful Property and will definitely consider staying again when we are in the area.

    A friend and I with out two dogs met at Kendall Retreat for a short week stay -- it was great for all of us. Peaceful, wonderful area for the dogs and all the games you can imagine -- unbelievably we didn't play a single one rather just enjoyed our time catching up and wandering around. Any disappointment was a result of my not reading the listing more carefully -- I assumed the twelve acres surrounding the property were going to provide a number of hiking opportunities right outside the door -- perhaps much younger folks could do that with ease but we learned quickly that hikes for people in our age group (60+) in average shape required a short drive to a decent trail. Other than that everything was spot on -- despite the cold and very rainy weather we enjoyed ourselves very much and certainly would consider meeting there again should the opportunity present itself. Very happy with the overall experience!

    Loved the outdoor space as well as the open floor plan. It was a bit cold while there so we didn't get out and walk the trails but the surrounding grounds looked beautiful from the large deck and windows.

    We enjoyed the scenic views from the deck, and evening light, the outdoor fire pit, and the indoor fireplace. Beds were comfy and it’s a short distance to Wisp. The kitchen faucet should be looked at, as it lacked pressure. We really enjoyed the cabin overall and would happily stay again.

    Overall this was a very nice place. Something wasn't working well with the water system as it was very salty. Be on the look out for snakes since we saw a den of them in the rocks near the lower deck.
