Big Boulder Retreat! - at Deep Creek Lake

Big Boulder Retreat!

** You and All Guests Must be 25 or Older to Rent This Home **

Peaceful home near summer and winter outdoor activities - 4 wheel drive needed in the winter. Escape to Deep Creek Lake and stay in this charming cottage in Oakland, MD, nestled on a dead-end street for ultimate peace and seclusion. With exposed beams and a cozy atmosphere, this super cool retreat is the perfect spot to get away from it all. Step outside to enjoy the fire pit behind the house, ideal for roasting marshmallows under the starlit sky.

Just a short 15-minute drive away, you'll find the town with restaurants, a seasonal farmer's market, as well as the fascinating B&O Railroad Museum. Nature enthusiasts will delight in the proximity to Swallow Falls State Park, Herrington Manor State Park, and Sang Run State Park, offering waterfalls, hiking trails, swimming, canoeing, and kayaking experiences.

Surrounded by Garrett State Forest, this property is a haven for hikers with its rock maze trail and scenic beauty. For water recreation and outdoor adventures, head to Deep Creek Lake, only 25 minutes away, where you can enjoy canoeing, kayaking, hiking, and dining at waterfront restaurants.

Make your way to Wisp Ski Resort, also just 25 minutes away, for skiing and snowboarding in the winter, as well as summer festivals, obstacle courses, and a mountain coaster. Thrill-seekers can try the man-made white water rafting adventure at the top of the mountain. For more adrenaline-pumping fun, embark on a whitewater rafting excursion on the Youghiogeny River.

Back at the cottage, relax in comfort with amenities like a gas fireplace, internet access, and a washer/dryer. Enjoy outdoor gatherings on the deck with patio furniture and a gas grill, or cozy up indoors with board games and Netflix streaming. Whether you're seeking adventure or a peaceful retreat, this centrally located home offers the best of both worlds.
