Let me take you on a little more of the tour here.
LENINA: Scott and I looked at bed and breakfasts all over the country, and when we came to Deep Creek, the Lake Pointe Inn was something very special and kind of magical.
And the energy in Deep Creek is really relaxing.
This is where you come to unwind.
We have canoes and kayaks and even paddleboards.
We have all kinds of spaces where you can just sit by yourself, and it's wonderful to be able to do that.
GEORGE: So we're located on the shores of Deep Creek Lake, but if you want to drop some mail here, that will be called McHenry, Maryland.
Named after James McHenry, one of two Maryland signers of the US Constitution.
McHenry came here and bought land to establish a farming estate.
Fast-forward to 1994, Linda and I, my wife, got in our canoe, paddled up and said, "This place should be a small inn."
So we renovated the old house into the Lake Pointe Inn, and we owned it for 20 years.
Scott and Lenina came to the Lake Pointe Inn as guests.
They were smitten with the Lake Pointe Inn, and we sold the inn.
The rest is history.
It has continued to thrive, attract oodles of repeat guests as it always did, and continue as a destination at Deep Creek Lake like no other.
LENINA: I wanted to tell you about our welcome board.
LAURITA: Oh, how nice.
LAUREN: Nice.
LENINA: So this tells you which room you're in, and we have visitors here that have been here 61... LAURITA: 61, wow.
LENINA: I know.
60, isn't that crazy?
LAURITA: This is going to be a good time.
SCOTT: So do you want to go up to your room?
LAURITA: Okay.
LAUREN: Here's our room.
LAURITA: I love it.
LAUREN: Oh.
LAURITA: Ooh!
LAUREN: This is so cute.
Very nice.
LAURITA: I like it.
LAUREN: Elephants.
We've been seeing elephants every single place that we've gone, and we love them.
LAURITA: Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Got to learn how to make these with some towels.
LAUREN: Right?
LAURITA: At some point.
LAUREN: I really like the little fireplace because you know I get cold.
LAURITA: I like the tub too.
This is nice.
LAUREN: This is such a cute little bed and breakfast.
LAURITA: This is cute.
LAUREN: Everybody has been so sweet, so nice.
LAURITA: The staff is amazing.
LAUREN: So great.
We will 100% be back.
LAURITA: I am sitting on one of the many swings at Lake Pointe.
(birds chirping) It's just peaceful out here.
The sounds that you hear are basically birds and boats, but it's beautiful and peaceful and it's given me a lot of joy today.
