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 at the gates of Wisp Resort and Deep Creek Lake — made for gathering through all four seasons, with room for everyone you love. The kind of place a family comes back to, season after season.
We're one family, and this is the one house we pour ourselves into. Whoever you're bringing, there's a place for them here — this house was made for the way real groups actually travel, and because we host every stay ourselves, we'll help you plan one that fits your 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.
Hand-cut cedar, two-story stacked stone, tongue-and-groove pine — a house built to hold everyone you’d bring. What our family added is the rest: the long table, the welcome, the care behind every stay. Together, it became the Eagle’s Perch.
Cathedral ceilings and dark timber beams overhead. Floor-to-ceiling gable windows that frame the forest. A black soaking clawfoot tub on a bed of river stone. 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.
Every beam, stone, and cedar board is the work of Humberson Homes — a Garrett County custom builder working at the edge of Deep Creek Lake. The carved eagle at the entry, the two stacked-stone fireplaces, the maize-finished siding you won’t find on any other house on the mountain: all of it raised on site, by hand, one detail at a time.
If a home of your own on the mountain is somewhere in your dreaming, this is the shop that can build it.
Visit Humberson Homes →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. Step out the lower-level slider and a shaded spot under the deck holds a hammock — the quietest corner of the house. 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 back 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 back 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 Marsh 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 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.
Five minutes to the lifts. Skiing and tubing all winter; the mountain coaster, scenic chairlift, and summer golf the rest of the year.
A Hale Irwin-designed eighteen on the highest course elevation in Maryland, with the lake in the distance. Public tee times — and it wraps the community you’re staying in.
A quiet community spot on Deep Creek Lake — and as our guest, you are invited to use it while you’re here. Walk the shoreline, cast a line, or settle into an Adirondack chair under the pavilion and watch the water.
Eight minutes to the water. Boating, kayaking, paddle-boarding, fishing, and lakeside dining on Maryland’s largest freshwater lake.
The lake’s main beach, about twelve minutes around the shore — two guarded swimming beaches, kayak and paddleboard rentals, picnic tables, and playgrounds. Behind it, more than twenty miles of hiking and biking trails wind through 1,800 wooded acres — your trailhead for a forest morning.
About twenty minutes out: Maryland’s tallest waterfall, a trail through old-growth hemlocks, and some of the finest hiking in the region.
From snow tubing to alpaca visits, there's more here than one weekend can hold.
See group favorites nearbyThe Eagle's Perch began as a place we wanted for our own family — 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.
When you reach out, you're talking to us — the family who dreamed this place up and looks after every stay.

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 pet fee applies per dog, 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 pet fee per dog, 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.
