Skiing Families & Groups
Fast access to Wisp plus space for everyone to come home, warm up, and spread out.
A hand-crafted five-bedroom chalet built for gathering through all four seasons, at the gates of Wisp Resort and Deep Creek Lake. Designed for ski groups, lake weekends, hikers, couples, families, and golf-and-wine getaway crews.
We are a small family operation, not a large rental company. We built Eagle's Perch for the way real groups travel together — and we personally help each guest plan a stay that fits their people.
Fast access to Wisp plus space for everyone to come home, warm up, and spread out.
Easy Deep Creek Lake days with a peaceful, wooded home base each night.
Swallow Falls trails, scenic overlooks, and forest mornings right outside your door.
Cozy fireplaces, hot tub evenings, and calm spaces to truly unplug together.
Multi-generational layouts, kid-friendly fun, and room for memory-making around one table.
Golf, ski, wine, and low-key nights back at the house — perfect for both guys trips and ladies getaways.
The truly step-free entry is on the lower level — a 9-foot slider opens straight into the game room from the parking area, with a portable threshold mat on hand so guests using a wheelchair or scooter can roll right in. There's also a front-entry ramp to the main floor, though it ends with a small step (about 3 inches) at the threshold. A guest scooter is available on request — just ask when you inquire if someone in your group would like easier access to the property and grounds.
Eagle's Perch is built so grandparents, parents, and kids all arrive on equal footing.
Tap any photo to view full-size and step through the house. From any view, jump straight to the room's story.
From the chainsaw-carved bald eagle standing sentinel at the entrance to the two-story stacked-stone fireplace anchoring the great room, every detail was crafted — not ordered.
Hand-cut cedar siding, sealed in a custom maize finish you won't find on any other house on the mountain. Cathedral ceilings in tongue-and-groove pine. Dark stained timber beams. Floor-to-ceiling gable windows framing the forest. A black soaking clawfoot tub on a bed of river stone. Two stacked-stone gas fireplaces. A private primary suite that takes up the entire upper floor.
A place to rest with family, with friends, or with the person you love — hosted by our family, one stay at a time.
Cathedral ceilings in wood-plank tongue-and-groove. Dark timber beams. A wall of floor-to-ceiling gable windows framing the forest. The two-story stacked-stone fireplace anchors the room.
Off the kitchen — with its stacked-stone island, white quartz waterfall counters, and amber mica pendants — the deck wraps three-quarters around the house. A pressed-copper foyer with a reclaimed pallet wall keeps wet gear in its place.
A king bedroom framed by a slatted feature wall and vaulted wood. Step out to your own loft above the great room — set up as a sitting room and quiet workspace, with the gable window looking into the trees.
The en-suite is the showpiece: a black soaking clawfoot tub on river stone, a wood-tiled walk-in shower with rainfall head and pebble floor, brushed brass fixtures, marble counters, an LED touch mirror, and heated tile floors. A coffee bar tucked under the eaves — sink, mini-fridge, stone counter — for the morning before everyone else is awake.
A pit-style sectional facing an 85-inch screen and the second stacked-stone gas fireplace. Arcade cabinets, a FlyBean board on the wall (toss canvas bags onto pegs for points), and a gaming console plugged in. A wet bar with a full-size fridge for restocking between rounds.
A queen bedroom and a dedicated bunk room with L-shaped bunks that sleeps four. The 9-foot slider opens straight from the lower patio into the game room — a direct walk-in from the parking area when you'd rather skip the main floor. Pull the shades, dim the lights, and the room becomes a movie theater that also happens to sleep two more on the sectional.
Hot Spring Rhythm — seven-person spa with multi-color LED lighting and wireless sound. On its own pad beside the covered lower porch, steps from the slider. Open whether it's July or a January snowstorm.
Two-story stacked-stone in the great room, a corner stone fireplace on the lower level. Crackling warmth on every floor.
85-inch TV. Two arcade cabinets, FlyBean board, gaming console. A pit sectional that seats the whole family for movie night.
Main kitchen with stone island, lower-level wet bar with full-size fridge, and a coffee bar in the upper primary suite. No traffic jams.
Set back in the wooded lot with natural rock seating. Marshmallows, stories, stars above the treeline.
LP gas fire table on the covered lower porch, next to the hot tub. Flip a switch, settle in. The companion to the stone pit out back — same warmth, no setup, weather-proof through every shoulder-season night.
Pressed-copper tin ceiling, reclaimed pallet wall, dedicated hooks and boot boxes. Wet gear has a home.
Heated tile floors and LED touch mirrors in all four bathrooms. Winter mornings never felt this civilized.
On-site charging for one vehicle. Arrive on a long drive, leave with a full battery.
Five total parking spots on the drive — one is set up as an EV charging spot. Bring the whole crew.
Five minutes to Wisp's lifts. Come home to the hot tub under falling snow, hang wet gear in the mudroom foyer, and warm up by one of two gas fireplaces.
Mornings on the Lodestone course, afternoons on Swallow Falls trails, evenings around the stone fire pit as the woods come back to life.
Deep Creek Lake is eight minutes out. Boats, kayaks, whitewater. Home base is the wraparound deck, the grill, and a game room the kids will take over.
The mountain turns gold and crimson. Fewer crowds, cooler nights, the kind of October that makes everyone text "one more day?"
Set in the private Biltmore at Lodestone community on West Mountain — minutes to Wisp Resort, eight to Deep Creek Lake, twelve to its state park, and twenty to Maryland's tallest waterfall.
Stay close to the best of Wisp and Deep Creek Lake — and the quieter local spots families remember most.
The Perch sits between Wisp Resort, Deep Creek Lake, and Swallow Falls — minutes from each.
Maryland's only four-season ski resort. Skiing and tubing in winter; the mountain coaster, summer golf, and the Chairlift Scenic Ride the rest of the year.
Boating, kayaking, paddle-boarding, fishing, and lakeside dining on Maryland's largest freshwater lake.
1,800+ acres with 20+ miles of hiking and biking trails, two swimming beaches, picnicking, and fishing. The closest state park, year-round.
A Hale Irwin-designed 18-hole course on the highest elevation of any course in Maryland, with views to Deep Creek Lake. Public welcome with tee-time booking.
Maryland's tallest waterfall, old-growth hemlocks, and some of the region's finest hiking trails.
From snow tubing to alpaca visits, there's more here than one weekend can hold.
See group favorites nearbyWe built The Eagle's Perch because we wanted a place our family could call our own — somewhere to gather, slow down, and make new memories while we still have the time.
What we hope, more than anything, is that other families find the same thing here. A long table built for Thanksgiving. A great room that holds everyone. Three floors so the kids can be loud and the grandparents can rest. A wraparound deck for the long after-dinner conversations.
We host this house ourselves — it's not a unit in someone's portfolio. When you reach out, you're talking to us.
— The Eagle's Perch family
10 PM – 7 AM, per community policy. The woods are listening.
We host families and multi-generational groups; the primary guest is 30 or older.
Up to two dogs, 30 lbs each. A one-time pet fee applies per stay. Please keep them off the furniture, and crate them if no one will be at the property.
Five total parking spots on the drive, one of which is the EV charging spot. No street parking in the community.
The Perch is a retreat, not a venue. Weddings, parties, and large gatherings beyond the registered guest count aren't permitted.
Guests are a short drive from WRMA's Lakeside Park (walking and fishing only). For swimming and boat launching, Deep Creek Lake State Park and Bill's Marine are 8–10 minutes away.
A Ring doorbell at the front entry, pointed at the porch and parking pad. No audio, and no cameras anywhere else on the property — inside or out.
Linens, towels, starter paper goods, dish soap and dish tabs, hand soap, coffee filters, and a fully equipped kitchen. The hot tub is open year-round. We don't charge a separate cleaning fee — it's built in. State and county lodging taxes are added at checkout.
The two indoor fireplaces and the porch fire table are all gas — flip a switch, no firewood needed. The outdoor stone fire pit is wood-burning; we keep a small starter bundle on hand. For more wood during your stay, McHenry Firewood (mchenryfirewood.com) delivers locally, or you can grab a bundle at any nearby gas station.
Standard check-in is 4 PM and check-out is 10 AM, which gives our team time to turn the house properly. Early check-in or late check-out is sometimes possible depending on the schedule — just ask when you inquire and we'll do what we can.
Yes — up to two dogs, 30 lbs each, with a one-time pet fee per stay. We ask that pets stay off the furniture and that you clean up in the yard. Dogs must be crated if no one will be at the property.
Yes — The Hot Spring Rhythm holds temperature beautifully through Garrett County winters, and stepping into a 102° tub while snow is falling on Marsh Mountain is one of the great small pleasures of this house.
For now, we're gathering interest only while we complete furnishing and licensing. Once opening dates are released, we'll email next steps with availability windows, agreement details, and secure payment timing.
Booking direct skips the third-party service fee — typically a 14–18% savings — and you're talking to us, not a chat queue. Same house, same care, lower total cost. We're also happy to talk through which dates work best for your group, something a booking platform can't do.

We're a small family putting everything we have into making this special for other families.
