Choose from four houses perched in the branches near Deep Creek Lake. The wooded interiors give the illusion of sleeping inside a tree trunk, and each rental has its own fire pit for cozy fall nights.

The campground in Marylands Washington County features eight tree cottages with no electricity, for a more rustic experience. Each has a wood stove for heat on cooler nights. Pets are welcome in the forest cottages.
