Other things to note
A NOTE FROM YOUR HOSTS
This isn't just a rental property to us — it's a home our family uses, loves, and cares for meticulously.
Prior to owning this home we rented at Deep Creek for over 20 years and are confident Basecamp DCL is among the best-furnished and best-maintained homes in the area.
We're looking for responsible guests — mature adults and families — who will treat the home with the same care we do. If you're looking for a party house, this isn't the right fit. If you're looking for a beautiful, spotlessly clean, perfectly located home base for an unforgettable DCL trip — you've found it.
We provide one set of bath towels and sheets per guest, so please share an accurate headcount when booking.
