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

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

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!

Beautiful home in a private, quiet neighborhood. Jennie is a fantastic host very responsive, helpful, and easy to communicate with. The house is well equipped with all the amenities you need, plus thoughtful touches like a well‑stocked coffee setup.The large deck is a standout feature, offering plenty of space to relax and enjoy the beautiful weather, complete with an outdoor fireplace and TV. The basement is a great hangout for kids, with a bunk room, shuffleboard, and TV. One of the best features is that every bedroom has its own en‑suite bathroom, making the home very comfortable for groups. There are also several quiet spaces throughout the house, perfect for escaping and recharging when traveling with a larger group.

Jennie I just want to say thank you for an amazing time at Camp Kindred. You were so helpful and answered any questions we had with quick responses, which made our stay even more comforting. My family and I were at awe with this beautifull and very very spacious house. We had so much fun and the esthetic of the house was very warm and inviting. Although it rained during our stay the many activities you had to offer made us forget the dreary skies. Thank you and we look forward to staying again in the near future!

We stayed at Camp Kindred as a family vacation with our adult children and our parents. The house was absolutely beautiful and gave us plenty of room to spread out and relax. It is clear there was a great deal of thought put into the many amenities that were supplied and the activities to do on the property. We loved how there was an attached bathroom for every room. The house was very clean and comfortable and it is easy for us to give it five stars in every area.

I cannot say enough great things about this property. My wife and I have been staying down at DCL for the last decade plus and we just found our new favorite property. Unbelievably deliberate design and decorating, tons of activities and games to play, and super pet friendly. We will absolutely be back.
