About this property
Almost Paradise | Lakefront + Spectacular Views!
This chalet combines quality and comfort to offer you the ultimate vacation getaway. Conveniently located for year-round fun, Almost Paradise truly lives up to its name. Located 1.0 Miles away from The Wisp Resort and ski slopes.
You won't waste any time putting up your feet to start your vacation in the spacious great room with recently updated hardwood flooring. The glow from the gas fireplace provides the perfect ambiance as you watch TV each evening.
Make memories with family and friends enjoying home cooked meals prepared in the fully equipped kitchen, which opens into the expansive living and dining area. The interior views from the wall of windows are simply wonderful!
All of the bedrooms at this home have been thoughtfully updated with brand new beds and bedding to ensure ultimate comfort and restful sleep after days full of Deep Creek adventures. On the main level, you’ll find two inviting bedrooms, each furnished with a queen bed and a TV—perfect for winding down in cozy style.
Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a plush king bed, TV, and a private wet bar complete with a mini-fridge. Indulge in a relaxing soak in the oversized jetted tub before turning in for the night.
The remaining two bedrooms are located on the lower level—one with a queen bed and another with two twin beds—providing great options for both kids and adults.
Also on the lower level, the family room expands your living space and brings the fun with a pool table and TV. Step right out to the lower deck to enjoy the outdoor hot tub, a welcome treat year-round for soothing tired muscles under the stars.
Enjoy your morning coffee from the deck while watching the mist rise off the lake. The gently sloping lakefront area is an ideal spot to pause in the afternoon sun or gather for a family picnic by the water. Everyone will love having a private dock where you can swim, fish or hop in your boat to take a cruise. You also have the perfect vantage point for the July 4th fireworks that light up the sky over McHenry Cove.
During the winter months, views of the ski slopes are a reminder that Wisp Resort is within a five-minute drive. Skiing, snow tubing and cross-country skiing will keep outdoor recreation enthusiasts happy!
Located in the heart of Deep Creek Lake, restaurants, shops, mini golf, zip lines and marinas are nearby. You can easily reach favorite events like the Garrett County Fair and the Deep Creek Lake Art, Wine & Beer Festival. This home is right next to the vacation rental, Sunny Boy, so you have the option to rent both for a large gathering.
Visit area state parks to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the Deep Creek Lake area. Each one offers unique activities and scenery. You can swim at a sandy beach, hike to amazing waterfalls, check out brilliant fall foliage or cross country ski through a pristine forest.
To get your adrenaline pumping, head out with the guides at Precision Rafting for a thrilling white water excursion on the Youghiogheny River. To paddle at a more leisurely pace, All Earth Eco Tours will take you on a family-friendly kayak trip at the Savage River Reservoir.
Make your next vacation unforgettable when you reserve Almost Paradise!
