There’s something inherently magical about a treehouse. It harkens back to childhood days and imaginative escapes. If you’re looking for a getaway that comes with a heavy dose of whimsy and nostalgia, we invite you to explore Maryland’s very own Whispering Woods, a multi-level treehouse hidden away near Deep Creek Lake in McHenry, Maryland. It’s a stunning, newly-built cabin wholly enveloped in the woods, offering guests an immersive, secluded stay.
One of the best parts about taking a vacation is the change in scenery. And nothing switches it up quite like sleeping among the treetops. Whether you’re a Maryland resident or visiting from out of state, you’ll love the chance to move into a real-life treehouse for a few nights. The cabin can comfortably accommodate up to five guests with two bedrooms, three beds, and two baths.
Unlike many treehouse designs, where the space is tight and rustic, Whispering Woods is luxurious. Take some time to explore the interior, and you’ll fall in love with the warm wood paneling and ceiling, luxe finishes, and beautiful spiral staircase leading to the second floor. Other top-notch amenities include a fully-stocked kitchen, a living room with a 65-inch TV, and plenty of room to lounge.
One of my favorite features is the use of natural light. Abundant windows offer glimpses of the surrounding trees, and the mountains are also visible in the winter. You’ll be staying just a short drive from Maryland’s famous Wisp Resort, which offers outdoor activities like skiing and adventure courses year-round.
While the interior is impressive, the outdoor space really sets this place apart from other cabin rentals in the area. Spacious decks, ample seating, and a private hot tub mean you can enjoy being outside even in the middle of winter.
After a day filled with enjoying all that this treehouse has to offer, gather with your crew around the fire pit and enjoy quality conversation under a blanket of stars. It just doesn’t get much better! We’ll leave you with one recent glowing review that summarizes this stay’s many charms: “We had such a great stay here at Whispering Woods! Check-in was easy, everything was super clean, and the house was exactly as pictured. It was very private and peaceful, and we especially loved the cozy loft at the top of the treehouse and using the hot tub every day.”
