About this property

Castle in the Sky | Lake Views + Pool Table & Hot Tub!

Featuring lots of recent updates, Castle in the Sky is beautifully appointed and spacious (well over 5,000 square feet!). It sits right across from the access trail to Main Street (expert ski slope) in the exclusive Highline Community. The house has 8 huge bedrooms (with 4 suites) and a total of 8 bathrooms.

The home is perfect for entertaining with three fire places, a large kitchen, a game room with pool table and wet bar and four separate decks with a large hot tub.

The main level primary suite gives you a comfortable place to rest your head after a busy day at the lake, hiking, rafting, golfing or skiing. Upstairs, you will find three bedrooms including a second primary suite with a fireplace and another huge bedroom where the kids will love the duo bunk, queen, two twins and the twin trundle. Downstairs, you find three additional bedrooms including two additional suites and the game room where you can challenge one another to a game of pool or step out onto the deck to find the bubbling outdoor hot tub to soothe tired muscles after hitting the slopes or hiking state park trails.

Purchase your ski tickets ahead of time as this property is practically on the slopes and you can ski to your heart's content! In the warmer months you are within walking distance to the Adventure Sports Center International where you can go white water rafting or kayaking, or just take a walk or run around the course!

When you want to take a swim in an indoor pool or workout, Castle in the Sky has got you covered with a membership to the Community Aquatic & Recreation Complex. This is a great option for any cold or rainy days! The convenient location means the best of Deep Creek is just a few minutes away-restaurants, shops, marinas, golf courses, ropes course, mountain coaster, snow tubing, climbing walls, hiking trails, go-cart tracks, sandy beach at Deep Creek Lake State Park or Maryland's Tallest Waterfall at Swallow Falls State Park.

Castle in the Sky is the perfect home any season of the years!

A perfect home for my 40th birthday

A perfect home for my 40th birthday. This was the perfect home for our needs. Everybody having king beds and their own separate bedrooms but a nice common area to hang out. The home was spacious and had everything we needed. There was a loose toilet on the top floor and a leaking bathroom sink in the basement. It didn’t stop us from having a good time but it should be noted. Our only complaint was, we couldn’t get the code to work when we got there! And after a long drive that’s frustrating! There were also some dirty towels left from previous owners. However, the home met all of our needs and allowed go to make life long memories.

Great for Groups!

We stayed here, three different families, and it was great! The perfect amount of space for everyone to feel comfortable and relax yet enough room that the crying toddlers didn't wake each other up! the adults also had a great time at night inside and out without waking up the kiddos! Lots to do, great time was had by all!

Successful work retreat with co-workers

Seven of us stayed here in September. The house is on the mountain overlooking the lake. You can see the lake, but it’s off in the distance. The neighborhood is well kept. We saw lots of deer and even a few bears on our daily walks. It was just a short drive to the lake, although public access was limited. The house was big, very well done and perfect to host a group of our size.

Friend Getaway

We had a large group of adults and kids stay here and the house was great space for all! It was a quick drive to the boat rentals, ice cream, and grocery store. I was disappointed on the cleanliness of the home. The floor and tables in the main area was sticky and dirty upon arrival. The bottom of our feet and our children's were black after walking barefoot. There was some trash and other items found under beds as well.

Family party

Big family gathering - 20 of us met to celebrate my father’s 80th birthday. The house was big enough to hold us all, had a great kitchen and dining room space for a huge family meal, and had room for 3 generations to gather and break into smaller groups. We were only there for a short time in early fall so we were not able to take advantage of outdoor activities.

Family Vacation at Castle in the Sky

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Castle in the Sky was a great house for our family vacation. We were a crowd of 15 -- 8 adults and 7 children under the age of 10. There was plenty of room for everyone to eat meals together, to find quiet spots, and to have fun! Great location and lots of deer sightings!

Perfect Castle On The Mountain

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was HUGE! And fully stocked with everything a group would need to have fun. We would most likely rent the same exact house next year as well. A few loose and or broken items but that is no big deal at all.

Inconvenient

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: When we arrived at the house the house was clean. However we did have a lot of issues with the appliances throughout the house. We ended up with a toaster oven because the oven was broke, we ended up with a new grill because the original grill was broke. We had to deal with the rental company a lot throughout the stay and it was very inconvenient to constantly have the maintenance people at the property. No one ever came and checked/filled the hot tub while we were there.

Great 3 day birthday weekend

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful time with friends celebrating my wife’s birthday. The home was perfect for our large group of 15. The bedrooms were spacious as well as the kitchen, basement and family room. An added touch was the proximity to skiing. We literally were able to ski to our driveway when taking breaks from the mountain. One minor issue was our oven needed tended to, however Taylor Made was right on it, and had it fixed within an hour of our call. We will definitely be back. Both the home and Taylor Made were fabulous.
