We welcome you to stay

At Camp Kindred

Family Friendly, Pet Friendly - Luxury Accommodations

Centered around a large coffee table, the Great Room offers a 93″ Crate & Barrel sofa, two swivel chairs, and two standard chairs — plenty of comfortable seating for movie nights, game sessions, or sharing a bottle of wine

Plenty of room for everyone: with seating at the island and a long farmhouse table just steps away, there’s space for morning coffee chats, family feasts, and late-night games around the table

Café lights, hammocks, and a bubbling hot tub — it’s the grown-up version of summer camp, designed for evenings filled with laughter, relaxation, and a little stargazing

Morning coffee or golden-hour cocktails — the covered porch is where the day slows down. With its rocking chair, layered textures, and forest backdrop, it’s Camp Kindred’s quiet invitation to linger a little longer

Autumn settles in softly at Camp Kindred — pumpkins on the porch, golden leaves overhead, and the firepit waiting just beyond the steps. It’s the season when the cabin feels its coziest, and the woods glow in every shade of kindred warmth

Your Hosts

Hi, I’m Jennie! I grew up in Pittsburgh and now live in Northern Virginia, but Deep Creek Lake has become our family’s favorite escape and gathering place. Every season here has its own magic — from summer hikes and lake swims, to winter skiing, to cozy fall and spring weekends by the fire. You’ll often find me here with my rescue pup, Marty, our kids, and extended family — cousins, grandparents, and friends included. That spirit of togetherness is exactly what inspired Camp Kindred: a place designed for families, friends, and pets to feel at home while making lasting memories. I personally designed Camp Kindred with a mix of comfort, nostalgia, and camp-inspired touches so that every stay feels both elevated and playful. We’re now expanding the vision next door with a six-bedroom home featuring an indoor pool, which will be available on its own or as part of an 11-bedroom estate for larger gatherings. If you’d like to follow along with the journey (and get a peek behind the scenes), join us on Instagram @campkindred and Substack campkindred.substack.com.

Why our guests

LOVE STAYING HERE

Amna C.

The house is so beautiful and clean. The outside sitting area was nice and we loved eating s’mores by the fireplace. The house is very well maintained and the kids loved playing in the basement and outside.

Molly H.

This place is picture perfect. Every inch was designed with families and groups in mind. The spaces were all beautifully decorated and incredibly clean. I went on a trip with a group of girlfriends and we all couldn't stop talking about how cute the place was. Beds were comfy, bathrooms were clean. 10/10 would stay here again.

Nancy T.

Our family loved staying at this wonderful spot near Deep Creek Lake! The house was extremely well-outfitted -- I can't imagine anyone wanting anything that wasn't there. So well stocked with lovely touches! Our group was 8 adults (and one pup) and we were so comfortable, both inside and outside.

Ashley M.

What a beautiful home! We felt comfortable immediately. Jennie has thought of everything - from an amazing kitchen with all the tools/gadgets you’ll ever need, to comfy dog beds, to robes (and slippers!). We truly felt like we were at a 5-star retreat. We enjoyed activities in and around Jennie’s place (‘smores by the fire, dog walks through the beautiful neighborhood, swinging on the hammocks, and more). Her home is in close proximity to all Deep Creek has to offer! Jennie’s recommendations were such a nice added touch. Jennie was incredibly responsive and made sure all of our needs were met. I’d highly recommend Jennie as a host - and would absolutely recommend renting her amazing home :-)

Rostislav K.

We had a wonderful stay! The house was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The location was great, and the check-in process was easy. The host was responsive, friendly, and made us feel welcome throughout our stay. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.

Christina Q.

This home was beautiful. The host did a great job providing everything you need and more

Edward B.

We had an amazing stay here and couldn’t have asked for a better place for our family getaway. The home was exactly as described—beautiful, clean, spacious, and very well maintained. It had everything we needed to feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. The location was perfect, offering a peaceful setting while still being just a short drive from Deep Creek Lake, restaurants, shopping, and local attractions. It was the ideal place to relax after a day of exploring. The host was excellent, providing clear communication before and during our stay, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Every detail of the home showed that they truly care about their guests’ experience. Our family made some wonderful memories here, and we would absolutely stay again the next time we’re in the area. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and relaxing place to stay in Deep Creek!

Dia
