Absolutely loved my stay at Timber Rock. The host was incredibly responsive and gave great tips for local hiking. The home was so clean that it felt brand new (like we were the first to stay in it). Great space, beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable. Would love to come back for a visit. Thank you!!

Timber Rick Village is our new favorite place in Deep Creek! The Ferndale house was simply beautiful and included everything you need from cooking items, to blankets while relaxing on the cozy couch. We rented this home for my husband’s 35th Birthday and our guests truly enjoyed every moment. Alyssa was very responsive and brought extra towels and wash cloths immediately following my request. The only thing, and I mean the ONLY thing I would recommend is to make sure the firewood storage was more filled with wood but it was no big deal as we had bought some wood from the Walmart nearby so we could relax and roast marshmallows for our S’mores! We WILL be back and we are already planning a Thanksgiving or Christmas visit and staying at Timber Rock Village.

We had an amazing stay at this home and would absolutely love to return in the future! The space is beautifully appointed, and the three-bedroom, three-bathroom ensuite setup is unbeatable. The kitchen was a standout feature, with high-quality appliances, utensils, cups, and other kitchenware that made cooking and dining a pleasure. We also thoroughly enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub, gathering around the fire pit, and cozying up by the indoor fireplace. The hosts went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, leaving a thoughtful thank-you note, local honey, water, and travel mugs. Their responsiveness throughout our stay was greatly appreciated. The neighborhood is charming, with all the homes appearing newly built and well-maintained, adding to the overall appeal of our experience. Highly recommend this property for a relaxing and memorable getaway!
