  6. When does the dock go in and out? In general, docks start to go in at Deep Creek Lake  the first week of April but there is no firm date when they arrive at Mad Men Lake House. It could be the first week of April or it could be the last week. They should be in by the end of the month. The dock leave Mad Men Lake House at the end of October. 
  7. Do you offer early check in or late check out? The answer is most likely no. We are about 95% booked all year round. When we have a back to back reservation the cleaners need the entire time to get the house adequately prepared for each upcoming guest. IF we had a ONE NIGHT vacancy before or after your reservation you are welcome to pay for a 2 hour early check in or late check out for an additional $50. If you want 4 hours it is $100. (It is $50 every two hours.) You can check our calendar here : Mad Men Lake House Calendar and check your dates to see if there is a one night vacancy before or after your stay to see if an early check in or late check out is possible. If there are two night vacancy there is a 95% chance it will get booked. It is only if there is a ONE night vacancy an early check in or late check out is possible. If it is and you would like to pay to have a late check out or early check in please send me a text 301-275-9078. There is no exception to this unfortunately. Our cleaner needs the whole time on back to back turnovers.
