Searching for the
perfect location for a family vacation home? Your search can
end here! Visitors will find the Deep Creek Lake resort area
in western Maryland (Garrett County) offers many diverse
activities including boating, skiing, golfing, state parks,
water sports & fishing; as well as fine dining restaurants
(go by boat!), shopping, entertainment, local concierge
services, room to roam and privacy! No matter what your
interest, Deep Creek Maryland has it all! Deep Creek is the
largest freshwater lake in all of Maryland, one of only a
handful of areas on the entire east coast of the United
States offering four season resort activities with a ski
slope. And it's a short, accessible drive from Baltimore MD,
Pittsburgh PA, Washington DC, northern Virginia,
Philadelphia - Pennsylvania, Morgantown WV and nearby West
Virginia, Ohio, Delaware, New Jersey, New York & Kentucky.
Our average temperature is 10-15 degrees cooler (72 degrees
in summer) than most of these areas, as we are roughly 3,000
+/- feet above sea level. It rarely ever gets too hot, but
the refreshing mountain breezes take care of that!
Wisp Ski
& Golf Resort is also located in Garrett County & McHenry,
MD (the northern mountainous region of Deep Creek Lake). The
northern part of the lake is by far the most commercialized,
and is where you will find most of the restaurants, shops
and gas/grocery convenience stores. The southern shores of
the lake are much more private, with larger tracts of
acreage, fewer mountains and more trees, pasture land and
working farms. The entire lake is surrounded by a
conservational easement, or 'buffer strip', that is managed
by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, DNR. DNR
(located at the DCL State Park) regulates certain practices
or activities that are allowed on the buffer strip (with
special permits), such as building a fire pit, or a
permanent structure and also offers a boaters safety course
and environmental info about the ecosystem of DeepCreek
Lake. Deep Creek Lake has an interesting history involving
Native American hunting tribes, civil war sites nearby, the
construction of the Deep Creek Dam & hydro electric plant,
small coal mining towns, the rich heritage of Route 40 'The
National Pike', the Casselman River bridge, the origins of
the Potomac River, the historic western Maryland Scenic
railroad and additional fascinating stories. There are
countless national newspaper stories, magazine articles & TV
shows detailing the history and beauty of 'Mountain
Maryland' and how the times have changed, but you really
must experience all that our resort area has to offer in
person!

will find many other unique forms of property ownership to
fit your style and needs. Many people dream of retiring to
the Deep Creek Lake & Garrett County area, and prefer
building sites or lots, farms & acreage, or just a large
tract of land covered with native oak, maple & pine trees. I
consider myself one of the lucky few who live in this
special area year-round - and yes, there are plenty of
residential & single family home opportunities here, as
well! Begin your vacation home search today - there are
still great lakefront & slope-front properties left, as well
