This Unique Treehouse Rental is Hidden Away in McHenry, Maryland
Take your getaway to new heights — quite literally — when you book a stay at this picture-perfect treehouse Airbnb near Deep Creek Lake.
Written by
Beth Copenhaver
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."

Revealed: the most wish-listed Airbnbs in every state
Jay's note: My good friends Chad & Laurel own and operate this amazing property in McHenry! They were featured on their own episode of Building Off the Grid on Magnolia Network, too!
From yurts and treehouses to domes and even helicopters, these are the most in-demand Airbnb bookings
Written by Gerrish Lopez
Time Out Contributor, Tuesday March 25 2025
Tis the season to plan a spring or summer getaway. According to data from Airbnb, solo travel and “slow travel” are trending this year. This means unique stays that offer time to reflect and focus on self-care. Airbnb is a treasure trove of unique properties—from luxury treehouses and waterfront cabins to chic townhouses and domes that offer a view of the stars—located all over the country. To highlight these out-of-the-ordinary getaway spots, Airbnb has released a list of the most wish-listed Airbnbs in every state. Here are some of the highlights.

Easter at the Airport
The Garrett County Airport is opening its doors for a fun-filled, family-friendly Easter celebration on Saturday, April 12, from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. This free event, presented in partnership with Taylor-Made Deep Creek Sales, welcomes guests of all ages to enjoy an afternoon of activities, crafts, and sweet treats.
Families can take part in egg coloring with TEAM 1629 Robotics, create paper airplanes from coloring sheets, and snap pictures with the Easter Bunny. Kids will also receive free candy eggs while supplies last. Adding to the excitement, HART for Animals will be on-site with adoptable puppies looking for their forever homes.
The Garrett County Airport invites the community to come out, celebrate the season, and enjoy a unique Easter event in a one-of-a-kind setting.

The second speaker, Eric Null – former manager of the Deep Creek Lake Natural Resources Management Area and current Executive Director of Trout Unlimited in Pennsylvania – gave a Master Class on fishing in Deep Creek Lake.

12 of the Most Underrated States in the U.S. For Natural Beauty

Maryland
Named after Queen Mary, Maryland often gets upstaged by the big-city buzz of nearby Washington D.C. and Virginia’s historic sites, but it’s got its own stunning landscapes. From Assateague Island’s wild beaches to Patapsco Valley’s fantastic hiking trails, there’s so much more to see.
In Western Maryland, you’ll find Deep Creek Lake just minutes from Swallow Falls State Park. Southern Maryland offers breathtaking cliffs along the Chesapeake Bay. Maryland may be small, but its natural beauty is anything but!
