Welcome to Parks and Deck, our centrally located, dog friendly chalet with filtered lake views just 1/4 mile from the lake! Wisp Ski Resort and Deep Creek Lake State Park are both within a 10 minute drive. After a day of adventures, relax on the deck or cuddle up in front of the fireplace with a good book and a glass of wine. Our fully-stocked kitchen is ready for you, but Brenda’s Pizza and other restaurants are just minutes away. Games, a fenced in dog run, and a pack n play are available too!

The space
Enter the house through the front yard, which is a fenced in dog run for your furry companions. Walk into the kitchen which is stocked with all the gadgets you’ll need to whip up a meal including a full set of pots and pans, baking ware, kitchen aid mixer, and a dual drip/single serve coffee maker. The den/living area next to the kitchen has a day bed with two twin mattresses (the bottom one pulls out). The great room has open concept living and dining, and filtered lake views out over the deck. Step onto the huge back deck (the full length of the house) which is also fenced, and enjoy a meal or sit by the fire. There are a couple couches and chairs in the living room in front of the gas fireplace, along with a TV with a DVD player (we stock lots of movies!) and a Roku with sound bar. On your way to the main floor primary bedroom with en suite bathroom and walk in closet, indoor and outdoor games are stocked, including a Ms. Pac-Man arcade unit.

Upstairs, there are two additional bedrooms, one king and one queen, which each have their own closet and dresser and smart TV.

The house has high speed Xfinity wifi, and there are desks in the primary bedroom and upstairs king bedroom - great for remote/telework.

    One of the nicest places we’ve stayed at in Deep Creek. Incredibly clean, cozy, has everything you need for a nice and relaxing getaway. The hosts were great and responsive. You can’t beat the location. We’ll be back!

    This was our first visit to Deep Creek Lake. We wanted to do something different this year for Thanksgiving, so rented this beautiful VRBO, brought our Thanksgiving meal and had a fabulous, relaxing long holiday weekend. Chris and Ashley had the home all ready for us, including beautiful Christmas decorations. The home was clean and included everything we could possibly need for our stay. It snowed during our stay, so we did not get to use any of the outdoor amenities. Chris was very quick to respond to any questions I had and was very accommodating to us wanting to alter check out time. Our two small, housebroken and well behaved dogs were welcomed, which added to our lovely family holiday. We definitely will rent from Chris and Ashley again when we come back to Deep Creek Lake.

    The property was perfect for a quick get away. The house had plenty of space, the arcade game had everyone enjoying time together and we had everything we needed. The Xbox was also a great feature for my son who packed his PS5 also. He had fun playing on both. I loved we only needed to bring our food and nothing more. The view was amazing as it snowed while we were there. Thanks again for sharing your home with my family.

    This house provided us with everything we needed for a long weekend away with our grandkids. The kids loved the house and all it offered. We love being at the lake and this house did not disappoint. The only negetive was that the host was not as avaialbe to answer questions has all other reviews had indicated. Small repairs needed to some of the outside items. This in no way hindered our stay or the enjoyment of the house. Would definitlay rent again

    We loved our stay! The house was fully stocked with everything we could need, including kitchen basics. It was beautifully and comfortably decorated while remaining family-friendly. The children loved the vintage arcade game and the she-shed. The adults loved the nice big deck and the choice of both fire table and fire pit. We had a minor issue (the upstairs AC wasn't working when we first arrived), but the owner responded to all messages promptly and quickly sent someone to fix the problem satisfactorily. We would absolutely stay here again!

    This property was great! Very clean and well stocked home! Loved the board games and Ms PAC Man machine! Also great fenced area for the dogs to roam off leash! Close to all activities and great outdoor space, hammock was wonderful for relaxing! We enjoyed the propane fire pit on the deck and the umbrella over the table for lunches! Overall a great trip for our family!
