Who We Are

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.

Why our guests

LOVE STAYING HERE

This Airbnb was genuinely one of the greatest Airbnb’s I have ever booked in the entire time I’ve been using Airbnb. You can tell just how much thought and care went into hosting this house. The host provides everything you could possibly need, even little things like chargers on each side of every bed or a white noise machine in every room. Their information guides covered every little thing and were easy to access and were all thoroughly detailed. The Airbnb was spotless as well. You can walk around the house the entire day in white socks and there’d be no sign the socks were even used. Genuinely spotless and clean. Lastly the host was responsive and accommodating. When my group went it had snowed, all I needed to do was send a quick message and the host had shovelers to the Airbnb within the hour. The house itself was beautiful but the host was truly one of a kind. I whole heartedly felt well taken care of and spoiled.

We really enjoyed staying at Jennie’s house. Everything was thoughtfully decorated and very well appointed with all that we needed to relax. It was a nice short drive to the top of Wisp for skiing, and the hot tub and fireplaces were great after a long day of skiing.

This is truly the nicest Airbnb I have ever stayed in. From the moment I walked in, I was blown away. The decor is on another level. It is funky, bold, and incredibly inspiring, yet still warm and welcoming. Every detail feels intentional and beautifully executed. The entire place was absolutely pristine. Spotlessly clean and perfectly maintained. You can tell so much thought and care went into every choice. Nothing feels random. It all comes together in a way that feels effortless. The bed was unbelievably comfortable and made it so easy to relax. The furniture is cool, stylish, and genuinely comfortable. Every piece adds to the overall vibe while still feeling inviting and livable. The location is perfect. It is close to Wisp and close enough to all the main restaurants and attractions, making everything easy and convenient. I felt completely at home. It was pure luxury. Everything about this place feels elevated and special.

Absolutely wonderful. My family and I spent 5 days at Camp Kindred, and loved every minute of it. Everything about Camp Kindred - the atmosphere, the wonderfully creative and decorative details, the functionality, the space ... all of it, was exactly what we were looking for. There were 10 of us, and everything just flowed. Everything we needed was there (and then some). There was plenty of space to spread out when needed, but still felt cozy (which we were really looking for). And Jennie, the host, is the best. She provided all the information we needed to make it easy up front, made sure all was well through the entire journey, and gracefully accommodated us whenever we needed something. Because it was so cold, we weren't able to enjoy all of the outside amenities, but we will definitely be back so we can enjoy everything this wonderful place has to offer. We give Jennie and Camp Kindred the highest recommendation!

Our stay at Camp Kindred was absolutely unforgettable! We had a group of 11 (adults, teens, and kids), and the home was perfectly designed to keep everyone comfortable. From the customized decor in every room to the seamless flow between the modern kitchen and the family room, it’s clear that Jennie put an immense amount of thought into every detail. When we weren't hitting the slopes at Wisp, we found ourselves hanging out at the cabin because there was so much to do. It truly felt like a home away from home where we could eat together and create lasting memories. Jennie was a fantastic hostess—incredibly responsive and dedicated to making sure our experience was top-notch. We can’t wait to come back!

This cabin is absolutely perfect for groups, especially with kids. Four adult rooms with king beds, en suite bathrooms and ample storage, plus a kids room with custom bunk beds that can easily sleep 6 - also with an en suite bathroom. And an additional half-bath with washer/dryer just off the kitchen. With two spacious living rooms, we could have the kids play on one space with adults relaxed in the other one. The house is incredibly well stocked with anything you might need including some toys and kids books, step stools, kids plates and utensils, a crockpot, coffee grinder… the list goes on! I recommend checking with Jennie before bringing such things from home. Finally, I couldn’t believe how close the cabin is to Wisp! My friends and I will definitely be repeat visitors here.

2nd stay this year at Camp Kindred. Had a total of 6 adults and 4 kids on this stay and everyone had a great time. Snow was perfect. House was warm and comfortable. Jennie was super responsive to all of our questions. Totally recommend this well-maintained home for a family get-away.

This mountain cabin was absolutely perfect. Thoughtfully stocked with everything we could possibly need, it felt like a true home away from home. The setting was incredibly peaceful—quiet, private, and surrounded by beautiful scenery—making it easy to fully relax and unplug. The cabin itself was warm and cozy, with charming touches that made it feel inviting the moment we arrived. The hot tub was the amazing: soaking under the mountain sky was pure bliss. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing mountain escape. Jennie was amazing to work with, thank you!

I stumbled upon Jennie’s place after my original host had to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances. She was able to accommodate me and my family on extremely short notice, which was such a relief. Jennie’s excellent communication and responsiveness immediately put me at ease. Now, onto the trip itself. The moment we walked through the door, it felt like stepping into the pages of a design magazine. My family and I couldn’t stop commenting on how beautifully decorated the home was. My husband’s family has been visiting DCL for 35 years, and they said this was their favorite house yet! Beyond being stunning, the home was thoughtfully equipped with everything we could possibly need. Jennie truly thought of every detail—fans and sound machines in each room, chargers on every nightstand, cozy robes for adults and children, and slippers in every bathroom. It honestly felt like staying at a five-star resort. Our experience was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Thank you Jennie!
