Weekend getaway
Beautiful and comfortable home. We visited the surrounding Deep Creek Lake and it was about 20 mins away (driving). The house truly had everything we needed to make meals and even grill. The property was quiet and great for a peaceful getaway.

Nice accormodation "BUT"
This is a nice accommodation in a very scenic neighborhood. The place was clean. However, giving it only 3 stars is because of the very low water pressure in the bathrooms. The shower in 2nd bathroom will not work if the other bathroom or kitchen sink tap is open. Also, the key lock box code to enter the house was not provided in advance. We had to call the office for the code after reaching the house and the response time was not quick.

Vacation in Homestead house
The house is perfect for a vacation getaway in the McHenry area. Very comfy home in a country setting. Close to other towns. The owners of this house deserve 5 stars! We will stay here again when we vacation in the future out this way.

Beautiful getaway weekend
A couple of my friends and I wanted a nice getaway in the mountains and this house was absolutely perfect for that, in a very nice neighborhood, not too far from town and activities, beautiful interior, very clean and cozy inside! The house provided everything we needed, washer and dryer, stove, microwave, toaster, warm water, comfy beds and memories that will last us a lifetime! Thank you for such a great stay!

Wonderful place to stay. Close enough to the lake but far enough out where it was peaceful and quiet. House was clean and had everything that you need for a wonderful weekend with family and friends.

2nd time around - just as FAB!
Just stayed at Mainstead for the second time, and it was just as amazing as the first time (which was 3 years ago). This house is so cozy and was the perfect getaway for our family to see the beautiful fall colors at Deep Creek Lake. The fireplace came in quite handy with the weekend's cold snap. The house was very clean, linens and towels included and bright white, and overall an extremely pleasant experience. We will return for sure!

Mainstead was a Pleasure
Great place to stay! The area is loaded with wildlife, it is centrally located to McHenry, it was easy to find, nice mattresses, and the place was clean and tidy with no major issues. Cooking in this house was a breeze, and it had easy access for my elderly mother of 94. Would definitely return and without hesitation. We are five time VRBO veterans and this place was the best.

Cleanest House!
This house is the cleanest house I have ever rented. House was close to everything and in a beautiful location and had everything that we could need. If going in winter you will need 4 wheel drive- it snowed the first 2 days of our trip and even with the management plowing the driveway twice we needed to use it. Our only issue was the trash bins were hard to access with the significant amount of snow on the ground/bins/driveway. Would definitely stay here again!

Absolutely the very best home and location
We are so happy to have found a very comfy and spacious home for a long weekend skiing at Wisp for our family. We appreciate the starter kit (hand soap, dish soap, paper towels and toilet paper) as we arrived late at night. The kitchen has everything and more to make meals for all of us. The house also has so much toys for our 3 yrs old as well. The house is just minutes from the slopes, so convenience. We will definitely come back to this home. .

Incredible getaway
Had an absolutely fabulous time at The Mainstead. House was very neat and clean, stocked with everything you could ever need (books, toys and movies for all ages and tastes) and in the most perfectly peaceful environment. Even though it rained most of the time we were there, it was great to just sit on the covered porch while the rain was coming down. Love the changes that was done to the front of the house and would suggest that the pics on the website maybe be updated? We almost didn't recognize the house in the semi-dark. All in all we LOVED our time here and the kids decided that they just wanted to live here forever. We will be back for sure

Want to move here!
Had a WONDERFUL time a the Mainstead over the Memorial weekend. The house is a bit off the beaten path which was perfect for us (who wanted nothing but peace, quiet and beautiful forest scenery). The house was fully stocked with everything anyone could ever need (books, DVD's, videos, games, toys) and was very well kept and clean. The new front porch and colour of the house is beautiful - maybe update the pics on the website? Nothing more to really say other than "can't wait to go back".

Ski Weekend
What a great house for 2 small families. We loved the set up of the house and the kitchen was well equipped. The proximity to Wisp was very convenient. The updates on the front of the house look nice (seeing it in person and in comparison to the pics online). The beds could be a bit softer. The area the house is located in is very quiet and quaint.
