Only In Maryland
Take your getaway to new heights — quite literally — when you book a stay at this picture-perfect treehouse Airbnb near Deep Creek Lake.

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.”

Who I Am
My name is Jay Ferguson, and I am a lifelong resident of the Deep Creek Lake area. I am also co-owner of the real estate side of Taylor Made. I have been in the real estate business for 21+ years now and I LOVE what I do! I have to say, my career really took off when I co-founded the real estate side of Taylor Made in 2014. Its been an amazing experience, building a real estate company from the ground up and achieving so much so quickly! In August 2016, we purchased Long & Foster Real Estate Deep Creek, where I had started my career in 2000. In 2018, we on-boarded virtually every agent from Coldwell Banker Deep Creek Realty as they closed up shop and the real estate family grew even more! We now have over 40 sales agents and have expanded to West Virginia and Pennsylvania, as well. Taylor Made is the #1 vacation rental company at Deep Creek with over 475 vacation rental homes, and over one hundred thousand yearly visitors. Its amazing what we have accomplished using the principles of honesty, teamwork and customer service!
Personally, my wife Jessica and I enjoy traveling and especially spending time in the outdoors, hiking and exploring the many diverse areas that Garrett County is naturally blessed with. We have raised two wonderful children here, Kayleah (22) and Noah (13). In the summer, we love spending time on the water with friends & family and enjoying the lake life! We are both active in our church, our community & local school activities, and we fill our schedule with plenty of volunteer efforts. I currently serve on the board of directors for Habitat for Humanity. I am proud to say that I was named Deep Creek Time’s Favorite ‘Community Champion’ in 2019. I was also named Garrett County Realtor of the Year in 2018-19, as well.
I really enjoy promoting my hometown. I am very proud of the resort area that has developed over my lifetime and look forward to growing the area even more! Deep Creek Lake has been described as ‘The Lake Tahoe of the east', and I think that speaks volumes about the potential to own property here! Deep Creek Lake isn't really a town or city by itself; it's comprised of three towns: Oakland, Swanton & McHenry, Maryland. I am very passionate about my hometown and am impressed with how many people know about it as we travel around the country. Deep Creek Lake is an amazing place to visit and even better place to live! During the pandemic in 2020, our market exploded and more and more people left their primary residence in the city to live here permanently. With distance learning in schools and tele-commuting becoming the ‘norm’, many more people were drawn to the area to ‘live where they love to play’.
Why You Want Me Working for You: In addition to being an owner, I am consistently one of the top-producing agents in the entire area and the Associate Broker of record for Taylor-Made Deep Creek Vacations & Sales. I have 21+ years of experience and I am a problem solver. There aren’t many situations that I have not encountered and I have a strategy for almost every scenario that you may encounter. I
have extensively trained in all areas of real estate & emerging technologies, and also have trained as an appraiser, as well as served as a full-time Broker. I have a strong knowledge of the industry, as well as many trusted local contacts & affiliations that allow me to perform at a very high level and deliver results. I have a great deal of respect for my peers in this industry and have strong working relationships that I would love to put to work for you.
Call me to discuss your situation - I know I can be of great service to you & others you care about!
Honesty. Integrity. Results.
