About this house rental
Our family cabin, built by my father in 2002, has been lovingly cared for by him and our family ever since. We are now opening some rental times to others so they can enjoy the views, skiing, snowboarding, hikes, swims, fire pit talks, game room competitions, and lakeside fun we have enjoyed as a family for the last 15+ years. Our house overlooks Wisp Ski resort and golf course. Stones Throw is walking distance to the popular Mountain State Brewery where the pizza, cold drinks, and sunsets can't be beat. With six comfortable bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, a large kitchen, dining room seating for 10, and full basement game room, the potential for a fun weekend or week long trip is endless.

Overall, great experience: Very nice and clean property. Brandon was responsive with any questions leading up to our stay.
The only opportunity is that I didn’t realize sheets and towels weren’t included. Though it does say it in the house rules, I missed it. This is different than other rental properties I stayed at. Luckily we caught this prior to the trip and brought them.

we stayed there with 3 other couples and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I would highly recommend this property. No complaints.

Lots of space, dining table for 10 which is difficult to find, and lots of bathrooms. The place was very clean and nicely decorated. If you stay a while be prepared to provide your own toilet paper and paper towels. Brandon was easy to communicate with.

The house was beautiful and spacious! The location was perfect and close to everything! The kitchen had everything we needed. The game room was the best I’ve seen and enjoyed by all!
The only downsides were the smell of the well water and the musty smell in the basement and the amount of bugs coming in both the front and downstairs back door due to the lights.

We LOVED Stone’s Throw! Did not want to leave!
The kitchen was very well equipped. We cooked Thanksgiving dinner and had everything we needed!
It was so nice arriving to the home already decorated for Christmas. We enjoyed card games around the large dining table. Everyone said the beds were comfortable. We highly recommend!!!!

We had a wonderful time staying at this beautiful property. It was a perfect fit for our group of 12. The kitchen & dining room were spacious & well stocked. Meal prep & eating together was easy and fun. All the bedrooms & bathrooms were large, clean, and well decorated. The living room & game room easily accommodated all of us watching tv, playing pool, shuffle board, card games, etc. We loved the backyard fire pit. The house & surrounding neighborhood were peaceful, wooded, with nice wildlife when taking walks. The location was perfect for day trips, sightseeing, restaurants, etc. We’re already hoping to return next fall
and stay at Stones Throw again.

Our family’s trip to Deep Creek was absolutely perfect.
House was big enough for the 10 of us but with plenty of privacy areas.
Hope to visit again.

Overall everything was great. House was clean and as advertised. It does have a ton of space, each one if us didnt feel cramped and had space to spread out. Back deck was really nice and patio furniture was in great shape. Location is in a good spot too.

This was our second time at Stones Throw. It is a beautiful home, privately owned, which we find are the nicer properties as they are better kept and are well stocked with kitchen items. The rooms are warm and inviting, the beds are comfortable, and it was decorated for Christmas before we arrived! The rooms are generously sized and the home is so large our grandchildren were removed from our family chatter during naps and early bedtimes. We always enjoy the game room downstairs - ping pong, pool, game table, and table shuffleboard. Each bedroom has its own bathroom or a shared bathroom, which accommodates a large family with lots of adults well. We would return to Stones Throw again! It's in a lovely neighborhood for walks, and we took family photos at the lake to remember the time there, with 12 of us from 6 states! Thank you for the great return trip Brandon.

With our growing family, it's hard to find a place to accommodate our needs. Not only did A Stones Throw meet our needs, it far exceeded them! The splendor and spaciousness of this home is unmatched, providing plenty of space for multi age levels to enjoy. The rooms were plentiful and beautifully appointed, as is the entire home. The deck was a treasure to enjoy all times of the day, also beautifully appointed. It truly felt like we were staying at a "home away from home" ... warm and welcoming. We wish we would have had more yard for the kids to play ball, however, with the beautiful parks nearby, it was surely not an issue. Our host was kind, communicative, and timely ... and the home was exactly what was pictured on VRBO, even better! We thank the K family for a wonderful week enjoying time together as a family, and the beautiful area of Deep Creek. We hope to return again!

8 adults and 4 children had an exceptional week at Stones Throw in McHenry, MD. Location, as the name implies, was close to all the major attractions in the area but was tucked away in the woods so you couldn't hear the hustle and bustle. The property was very well laid out with tons of included supplies, especially the kitchen, amenities, and games for all ages. Our host was very attentive to our requests and replied with alacrity. All in a all, a superb vacation spot. Thank you for the memories.

Great place to stay for a long weekend in the Deep Creek area
Stones Throw was a great place to stay. The common areas are really big and great for friend and family gatherings. The location relatively to Wisp and other activities can't be beat. The host was very communicative and responded to all of our questions in a timely manner.

Great Family Retreat House
We stayed here over Christmas and had the best time! The house is in great condition and was in super clean condition. Bringing our own bedsheets was a bit of a pain but hey, at least you know it's clean! There was ample cooking supplies and toys for the kids to play with as well as board games and puzzles (without missing peices!) You can tell the owners also spend time in the house as everything has a warm homely feel and all the little things you might need ( a pair of scissors or a screwdriver to adjust bindings) are there in the house. Overall we're super glad we chose this house!

Looking forward to next time!
Our family of 10 (ages 60 to age 1) celebrated Thanksgiving at this lovely cabin. The cabin itself is massive and cozy at the same time. It is clear that this cabin was built with love. The kitchen is huge and well stocked (more so than mine!). Each bedroom is large and has a private bath, which was appreciated. Gathering in the great room with the fire, playing games, and watching movies was a hit. The kids enjoyed the Christmas tree and were hopeful for a visit from Santa (hahah). Having a large enough table for us to enjoy meals all together was perfect. Under the kitchen table is a perfect place for toddlers to play "fort" we discovered :) Day 3 we woke up to 2 inches of snow - which was beautiful. We will definitely want to visit again!

Amazing experience and beautiful property
This house offered an amazing experience for my friends and family. The location was in close proximity to many activities while being secluded enough to make the experience feel our own. The owner was extremely helpful an informative and we will be booking again!

Perfect place
This was an amazing place to stay for our family vacation. The house is beautiful with so many special details. It was also very spacious with tons of spots for us to spend time all together and also plenty opportunities to escape to enjoy a good book. Our nine year old daughter loved the basketball hoop. We highly recommend this property.

Perfect
We rent a different house in a different location every summer. This was by far the best one we’ve had. First of all, the pictures don’t lie. The house is just as big and roomy as it looks. It was fully stocked with dishes, utensils and small appliances. There were games galore for the kids and it’s in a perfect location. We were literally 5 minutes from everything we needed or wanted; grocery store, Ledo’s Pizza, arcade, golf course, ice cream shop, etc…. Owners were in constant contact with us prior to the trip. The key was waiting for us when we arrived. Couldn’t have asked for anything more. Perfect.

Beyond Expectations
We spent a week with some of our family here. I have never stayed anywhere that was stocked so well with every dish...pans and utensils plus extras as was this house. I don't think you could have wanted anything that was not provided. Large, clean and comfortable. Nice surroundings too.. All the kids.....big and small had a great time!

Beautiful Property
Stones Throw was the perfect setting for our 3 generations. The ten year olds and the fifteen year old had a blast learning how to play pool and were thrilled to have their very own bedrooms! The pictures do not do the house justice. The rooms are spacious well furnished and very comfortable indeed. The deck was perfect for watching the wildlife including a bear that wandered by one afternoon. All in all a great vacation

The house was amazing - very large with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The host, Brandon, was responsive and easy to communicate with. Our family of two seniors, four adults, and three children loved our stay.

Great long weekend family trip
Had a great long weekend stay here reuniting the family for the first time since COVID. House was great, everyone was impressed, grandmother commented that she felt like she was living in an HGTV show house. Plenty of room and a nice balcony. Quiet neighborhood with lots of woodsy space, didn't feel like we were right on top of any other group. Easy and responsive communication with the owner/manager. Would recommend and we'd stay here again.

Wonderful property and location
Because of CoVid we were a group of 7, instead of 11. This home is very spacious and very well stocked. We found it clean and the owner was very quick to respond to any questions we had. The beds were all comfortable and we found everything we needed in the kitchen for our holiday meal. Our group enjoyed hiking in the area during the day and the game room downstairs each evening for ping pong, darts, and shuffleboard competition. The large TV screen was great for movies. Thank you for sharing your home with us! If we return to the area we will be certain to reserve this property again!

Fantastic house, plenty of space, everything you need for a great week away
The house was fantastic! Plenty of room for 3 families to spread out! We loved the game room downstairs and lots of board games and DVDs. All bedrooms were very spacious. We did long distance learning for the kids during the week and everyone had their own space and WiFi worked great! Deck had a lot of room and comfy seating. Loved that there was a space for the kids of hangout separate from the adults. Great area, close to the brewery. Short drive to Deep Creek Lake state park for beach and hiking trails. Short drive to swallow falls for hiking and waterfalls. Great weather, and plenty of space for outdoor fun- basketball and fire pit were both a huge hit!

Fantastic End of Summary Stay
My group and I all had a blast staying here. The house is so much larger than it looks in the photos and had everything we could've asked for.
The great room and kitchen was awesome for gathering and hanging out with friends/family. The deck had a lot of space and even though it rained intermittently throughout our trip the house was perfectly suited to provide us everything we needed in that case. Due to the rain we didn't even get out to the lake but that didn't matter. We love to cook and the kitchen was well stocked with great appliances, utensils, and cookware. We were able to enjoy the firepit the last night which was great and the basement game room area was a lovely touch. The bedrooms were clean, organized, and extremely roomy. Lastly Brandon was very communicative and the check-in/check-out process was smooth. Everything felt clean and sanitized and at no point felt dangerous with renting during the covid era. I would definitely rent again and will be bookmarking the location for future reference.
Thanks again!

Awesome getaway
We had a wonderful stay at this cabin. Super comfortable with so much space and great furnishings. The beds were very comfortable which is pretty unusual for rental properties. The kitchen was well stocked and laid out well. Fun games and diversions, including toys for littles. Well located too. The only negative was low water pressure but even that wasn’t an issue really. Can’t wait to come back!

Perfect family vacation home
Stones Throw was very well equipped for our family vacation. The house was impeccably clean and fully equipped with everything we needed, plus some! The location was convenient to Wisp and all of the lake activities. We enjoyed relaxing and stargazing on the oversized deck. The kids enjoyed the game room and the bountiful supply of board games. After exploring the area over the last few days, we would definitely consider a stay at Stones Throw again!

Stones Throw Family Vacation 7/25-8/1
We had a wonderful time in this beautiful home! The kitchen had everything we needed including spices, 2 types of coffee makers and tons of dishware! We cooked most meals in and thoroughly enjoyed the deck, the pool table and ping pong! My only ask would be to leave a drawer or shelf empty for our snacks and food. We brought a bunch and had to keep some in the laundry room. Brandon was great to work with we hope to stay here again in the future!

Guys' Weekend
The property was everything we had hoped for. The kitchen is perhaps the best vacation rental kitchen I've ever had the pleasure to use. The rooms were clean and the beds were incredibly comfortable. Absolutely no "worn down, second hand" matresses here...everyone slept like a dream. Wish we could have stayed longer. Definitely lived up to the adage "Home away from home" and will certainly be back again.

Beat our expectations
The pictures don't do this home justice. The rooms are all huge in size and accommodated our group without us ever feeling like we were bumping into each other. The pool table / ping pong table in the basement was in great condition, the location was really close to grabbing groceries without losing the woods feeling. While the location probably lends itself better to mountain and marina access, it was a short 15 minute drive to Deep Creek State Park, Swallow Falls, and other parks that made it super easy to have a different experience every day we were there. The owner was communicative and provided a thorough welcome package so we had no questions for our whole visit.
While I would've liked a gas grill and there were a few spots on the deck we had to keep our littles away from, they didn't detract at all from the experience and everyone in our group wants to go back again next year. We had 6 kids there, including two infants, and 7 adults and ended up with a bedroom we didn't even use. With exception to the bunk-bed room, every room has enough room for a roll-away or pack-n-play, making it very family friendly. The kitchen was intuitive and easy to use, facing out into the dining area and shared space, so whomever was preparing a meal could participate.
Was a fantastic weekend and I'd strongly recommend it for anyone looking for a reasonably priced place with great amenities.

Stones Throw is wonderful!
The house was perfect for our large family. It's nicely updated with lots of extras! The game room was great for the kids and the deck was very large. There was plenty of parking and only a few minutes from the lake. We highly recommend!
