About Us

Deep Creek Lake is Home

Our roots run deep in Western Maryland. We know the quiet coves, the best sunset views, the seasonal rhythms, and the energy of Wisp Resort throughout the year. That local expertise allows us to provide thoughtful recommendations, trusted vendor connections, and concierge coordination that enhances every stay.

A Higher Standard of Vacation Rental Management

Every home in the Red Barn collection is selected for its location, design, and ability to bring people together. From private lakefront estates with docks to expansive properties ideal for wedding weekends and multi-generation reunions, our homes are intentionally chosen and professionally maintained.

Our team routinely inspects each property, oversees preparation between stays, and ensures consistent quality standards so guests can book with confidence. We believe luxury is not just about amenities — it’s about reliability, responsiveness, and seamless experiences.

Elevated Marketing for Distinctive Homes

Each home in our portfolio benefits from:

    Professional photography and presentation • Luxury-forward website positioning • Direct booking optimization • Dynamic pricing strategies • Strategic placement across select booking channels • Concierge offerings that increase ADR

    Our brand is intentionally positioned above commodity rental platforms. We do not compete on price — we compete on quality, experience, and trust.

Operational Excellence & Asset Stewardship

Beyond marketing, our team provides consistent operational oversight, including:

• Routine property inspections • Coordinated maintenance and vendor management • Guest communication and screening • Pre- and post-stay quality control • Transparent reporting and performance tracking

We treat every property as a long-term investment, not a short-term listing.

A Portfolio Built for Scale & Distinction

Red Barn Vacations has become a trusted choice for:

• Luxury lakefront estates • Large group vacation homes (sleeps 12–20+) • Wedding weekend accommodations • Corporate retreat properties

Our growing reputation for elevated guest experiences strengthens each home within the portfolio — enhancing visibility, demand, and rate performance.
