Gathering Place: Lakefront w. boat slip | Dog friendly | Hot tub | Fire pit

We had a wonderful stay! Everything we needed was provided exactly as stated in the agreement, and we were pleasantly surprised by how clean the place was. It truly felt like a home away from home. The location was also very convenient, especially being so close to the water. My family and our dogs absolutely enjoyed our stay. We would 100% recommend it!

We had a wonderful time! The house was perfect with so many extras to make our stay comfortable, thank you!

Very welcoming

Great place! Lots of space for our kids and dog. Really enjoyed the firepit, games, and comfortable beds. Check in and out was very easy. Would definitely book again.

LOVELY house and location! Really enjoyed all the amenities and closeness to the lake. Host responded immediately to our question of how to operate the fireplace. Although we did not bring our dog, we had several visits from Finn, a friendly neighborhood dog (we bought some new ping pong balls as he thought they were a fun game of chase :) Only negative we had was a residual odor of cat urine (especially upon entering the laundry room and in the media room). Fortunately, our weather was nice enough we could open windows and allow for fresh air to circulate. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

This place was perfect for our weekend trip! The house was spacious and the views were spectacular. Highly recommend!!

Great property for young children! Would love to stay here again someday.

The owners have thought of everything. This home is absolutely stunning. Our family had an extraordinary trip. We will definitely be back again. The communication with the owner and management team was exceptional.

Best house we ever stayed at Deep Creek Lake!

The property was beautiful and we had a very relaxing stay

Such a fabulous house in a great location! We had multiple generations come together for a fun week at the lake and we all agreed that it was one of our favorite vacations! Rent this place… you won’t be disappointed!

This house was a perfect location for us. Right on a lake with many activities near by. The house had a well stocked kitchen for our cooking needs. The house was cozy for game night, hot tubbing and sitting by the fire. Being with the whole family under one roof makes my heart full and this house was the perfect place for it. The host was so quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had. Thank you for making our vacation a memorable one. Hope to be back one day soon.

Best experience we’ve had renting in 35 years of coming to Deep Creek Lake! Great people, self managed so they actually care. The house was perfect.

I stayed for a bachelorette trip and everyone in the group loved the house! It was super spacious, clean, and everyone in the group talked about how comfortable the beds were. The walk to the water was short and it was a less than 10 min drive from the main restaurants. Would recommend!

My 3 sisters and I really enjoyed this clean, spacious house, set back slightly from the lake. A short walk (with stairs) took us to the dock where we could sit by the shore or paddle around in a kayak and watch the sunset. Highly recommend Gathering House for your Deep Creek Lake experience.

Wonderful!!!! Many memories were made there.

Our first stay in Deep Creek Lake, we were thrilled to find this property! The outdoor and indoor gathering spaces were optimal for our family and friends get away. Access to the lake was great and we were checked in on us several times during our stay. The kitchen and large dining table were amazing! When we had questions, they were attended to right away! We would recommend this house and its owners to anyone who is visiting DCL!

We had a family celebration. The stay was relaxing. The location at the lake was perfect. June is a good time, temperature and not overcrowded.

Enjoyed our stay. Everything was perfect

Beautiful house and very clean. Loved everything about the house.

Appreciate you coming out the next day to fix the lights, we appreciated the whiskey

Fantastic home, unfortunately the weather didnt cooperate for the weekend.Everything inside and out was very clean. Ample amentities and a fully stocked kitchen for all your cooking needs. The bedrooms were all very roomy and comfy and there was plenty of privacy for 3 couples. The owner was very responsive and helpful.5/5 would stay here again!

The Gathering Place was such a great property with suberb hosts. I was most impressed with communication from the owners and the tips and details they provided before our arrival. It helped so much with planning. We arrived to a help basket with some favorite treats like popcorn and hot cocoa which was a plesant surprise. The properyy is homey and modern. I was impressed with the size of the.bunk beds and all the beds. There were plenty of blankets and cookware. Pretty much had everything we needed for a group. Hot tub was ready to go at night and although we didnt use the firepit, we were pleased to find wood ready to go if we did. The owners communicated so well before, during, and after our stay. They made sure we were comfortable and addressed any questions right away. Highly recommend!!

We enjoyed the gathering place and our time at Deep creek. This house was very nice.

We rung in 2025 at The Gathering place and couldn’t have enjoyed it anymore. The home is so comfortable and has everything you would need for a stay. The host provided a very detailed guide for the home and did not need to contact them with any issues. This was our first time to Deep Creek and will definitely revisit and stay at The Gathering Place.

Celebrated my 27th birthday here and it was beautiful, cozy, and so homey. I wanted it to snow so bad and it did! The hot tub and the fire place were our favs. Would love to visit in the summer.

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!

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!

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!

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
