Amenities & Shared Spaces

Entertainment

The lower level den is your go-to hangout hub. Rack 'em up on the full pool table - complete with balls, sticks, chalk, and triangle - or step up to the dartboard for a friendly competition. It's the kind of space where kids' laughter and friendly trash talk echo well into the evening.

Kitchen & Dining

The well-stocked kitchen is ready for everything from morning coffee to full holiday spreads. You'll find a coffee maker, blender, crockpot, mixer, toaster, and a complete set of cookware including saucepans, stockpot, frying pan, and baking essentials. Dishes, glassware, and utensils are provided for every guest, plus wine glasses and a corkscrew for winding down in style. A knife block, cutting boards, and all the prep tools you'd expect round things out. A dishwasher handles cleanup, so you can get back to relaxing.

Kid-friendly extras include a dedicated kids' eating and drink set, a pack-and-play, and a high chair - thoughtful touches that make family trips genuinely easy.

Technology

One large 56-inch smart TV in the lower level den brings streaming and entertainment right to your hangout space. The remote is stored on the center shelf below the TV.

Laundry

A full washer and dryer are available on-site, located in the lower level HVAC closet area - a genuine convenience for longer stays or active outdoor trips.

Outdoor

Step out back and you've got layers of outdoor living. The propane grill by the shed is fully stocked with grilling utensils and a fresh tank, ready for cookouts. Follow the rock path off the back deck to your own wood fire pit, and cap the night in the private hot tub under a canopy of trees. It's the kind of outdoor setup that makes you want to stay one more night.

Community Amenities

Guests have access to a community area near the Youghiogheny River - ideal for a morning walk, a quiet sit by the water, or simply soaking up the natural surroundings that make this part of Maryland so special.

You will need to stop at the office to pick up a fob so you can get past the gate. Instructions will be sent you to you the day prior. The Rocks uses a simple and straightforward self-check-in with a smartlock. A backup key lockbox is also available outside. The host is available if questions come up, but the property is set up so you can arrive, settle in, and start your trip without any friction. Note that GPS directions work reliably for this address.
