Brown Bear Lodge
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
A fantastic lake retreat awaits you and your loved ones at Brown Bear Lodge! Located in a private, waterfront community, you'll enjoy access to a swimming dock, firepit, picnic tables, a covered gazebo, and a kayak/canoe launch. There's also a boat dock where you can moor your boat during your stay. After spending your days splashing in Deep Creek Lake or exploring the water, head back to the lodge to fire up the gas grill and host a cookout for your favorite people.
You'll also love the home's easy proximity to the best of western Maryland. Within an eight-mile radius, you can explore Wisp Resort, Swallow Falls State Park, Oakland Golf Course, Herrington Manor State Park, and Savage River State Forest.
Inside the lodge, you’ll quickly feel at home in the rustic yet modern ambiance. The living room features a large smart TV and plenty of seating, perfect for movie nights. Steps away, the spacious dining area and fully-equipped kitchen make it easy to prepare and enjoy meals together. The dining tables also lend themselves perfectly to family board game nights.
With four comfortable bedrooms, there's plenty of space for everyone to relax. The home also includes thoughtful amenities for families, such as a Pack-N-Play, baby gates, a high chair, and a private washer/dryer. Additional conveniences include smart TVs and central air-conditioning.
As the day winds down, the perfect way to cap off your adventures is by relaxing on the deck in the private hot tub, enjoying stunning sunset and Milky Way views.
