Holiday rentals with lake access in McHenry

Very nice modern house. The only issue was getting the hot tub to an adequate temperature in a timely manner. Check in was 4PM. I arrived around 5PM. The hot tub water temperature was 67F. I had to wait until 10PM for the hot tub to reach a temperature of 93F. In short, it was more of a "warm" tub instead of a "hot" tub. If the hot tub were prepared in advance, I could have used it right away when I arrived.

Great location - walking distance from Wisp for skiing and tubing (though not easy with gear) and a short drive to the grocery store. This was our second stay at this property and we love how family friendly it is - the kids love the game room and climbing wall and it’s a good setup for multiple families.

Steve is an amazing host! I was appreciative of how quick/responsive he was and Steve provided thorough instructions which made our check-in super easy. His AirBnB was very comfortable and easily slept our group of 12. This house is very private and the bedrooms/restrooms were in pristine condition. The house is full of amenities and was not a far drive to restaurants/walmart/etc.

Great location. All Needed items. Was informed prior to going to bring extra towels for the hot tub and that was nice to know in advance. We got a foot of snow the day after we arrived and there were two snow shovels for our use and we needed both of them. Will hope to stay there again.

This stay was perfect for our group of 10! Everything was tidy and clean. I loved the hot tub and pool table. I really loved how each floor had many games. They all came in handy for our rainy weekend. We had pizza from Brenda’s that we were able to walk to. We grilled the next night, which the host kindly has propane available for use. The kitchen was fully stocked for all our cooking needs. The beds were comfy and there were many bathrooms that no one really had to share a bathroom. Lastly, the host and her cleaner was so kind to coordinate and bring us extra toilet paper and paper towels very quickly when I reached out. I would highly recommend this Airbnb and would stay here again.

What a treat! The lake house was so spacious, clean, and well appointed. The three floors allowed for lots of together, small group, and alone time options. Our family - three generations including teens and an octogenarian - had a great time cooking together, playing billiards, soaking in the hot tub, playing air hockey, watching movies, and seeing wildlife. Our hosts had great recommendations for restaurants and boat rentals. Wonderful memories were made, and we highly recommend! Thanks for your gracious hospitality, Idalia and Dennys.

Great vacation. Wendy was the best host we have ever had—responsive and generous. The house itself was one of the best stocked rentals we have ever been in. We loved the use of the kayaks and would absolutely come back to enjoy Alpine Lake here again. Very relaxed, friendly vibe within the whole community.

Great space for a relaxing getaway, complete with rustic charm! It's a very clean, cute, cozy, and worthwhile place to stay and spend time with family. I had a wonderful time in this lake house.

We had another great stay at the No Wake Zone! The two bedroom offers some additional space and a beautiful view. Such a convenient, well kept spot for a weekend on the Yough!

Carol was very accommodating. Upon arrival a storm had just went through and the facility lost power. Carol apologized and communicated well. She even offered a full refund. Set a bucket water outside of the door in case we needed it for the bathroom. Power was restored quickly. Room was small, but accurately described. Cute and clean. Even came with towels and wash cloths and bed sheets. Ample pillows. Shampoo etc. provided. Bed was comfortable. 10/10 recommend and would stay here again!

The Lucky Duck is a very calm and relaxing place to stay. We enjoyed the views and the local population of ducks and geese who welcomed us as we came and went. The place was spotless & spacious and had all the little things we needed for a great visit. Would highly recommend booking.

Overall a great stay, definitely worth the price in my opinion. Right next to the ski resort if you’re there in the Winter, and plenty of other activities and restaurants close by.

What can I not say about this place! Was above my expectations! The room had everything I needed for a weekend get away. Carol was very responsive and friendly! I highly recommend this location and would definitely rebook without hesitation! Within walking distance from Yough Lake and boat ramp. Perfect location if you want a place to stay so you can fish!

It was an amazing weekend in this home. The kitchen, bathroom and linen closet were well stocked and we didn’t run out of anything. The house is right on the water and provided hours of free entertainment. The house contained cable, plenty of DVDs/Bluray movies, board games, and sitting space. Wisp is seconds away by car and minutes by walking. Host was responsive and understanding, even after I lost the house keys.

Great little getaway :) My kiddos had a great time hiking the trails, playing at the beach and swimming in the pool.

My friends and I booked this trip to celebrate a birthday, and it turned out to be one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. The cabin, tucked away in the mountains next to the lake, was absolutely beautiful — even better than we expected. The views were stunning, the house was spotless, and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. The host was incredibly responsive and welcoming, making the stay even more enjoyable. We even had the chance to go kayaking on the lake, which was such a highlight. Overall, it was an unforgettable trip, and I’m already looking forward to coming back!

We had a wonderful time at Deep Retreat. Very nice fenced yard with the fire pit where we spent a lot of time. The house is very cozy. Nice walkable peaceful neighborhood.

Lovely cabin in a quiet, wooded, private neighborhood. We chose to drive to the community beach and park there (instead of walking due the steep hills) and spent hours letting the kids play and swim while we took turns stand up paddling. Takes 20-25 mins to drive to most restaurants and activities, but the scenery is gorgeous and there isn’t much traffic. We were grateful for the comfy beds and couches to rest upon after a long day of activities.

DockHoliday is a happy little place tucked between state parks. We enjoyed staying here for three nights. The house was suitable for our party, 4 adults and 3 small children. The amenities in the house were adequate to meet our needs. Keurig Coffee Maker, functioning Washer/Dryer, Foosball Table, and full size fridge to hold our groceries made our stay comfortable. Know that this house is on a two-lane road that serves as a main road around this western portion of Deep Creek Lake. The traffic isn’t constant, but the noise of passing cars and trucks can be disruptive to those seeking a vacation home that brings them closer to nature. Also, the living space in the house isn’t large, so noise travels easily. May be a problem for noise-sensitive people in your party. If sleeping in the master bedroom on the main level, I recommend bringing a white-noise machine to mask the noises of footsteps on the second level. We came to see the Lake and State Parks and this house was a nice base.

Just like the pictures, this lakeside cottage is lovely. Great setting and views. Very nicely decorated and very well equipped. Susan was an outstanding host.

a very cozy cottage that is much spacier than it appears in the pictures. Huge yard with a great fireplace and Great Lake views. Would definitely stay again if in the area!
