Winter vacation with family and friends
The property is very nicely furnished. Everything was clean and ready when we arrived. The owners responded to questions quickly, It’s very secluded the way it is built into the hill. The back deck area is a great way to enjoy the peace and quiet. It’s very close to the Swallow Falls trails and the wisp resort. We would stay here again.

Amazing Place
Amazing, spacious, quiet property with a ton of amenities for all age groups. Not to far of a drive to the lake and all attractions. Great communication with the property manger which made the trip even more fun and relaxing. Everyone had a great time and want to come back in the future. Would recommend to all friends and family if they come to Deep Creek for vacation.

The Lazy Bear was great!
Very clean, and well stocked! Close to everything but very secluded and relaxing. Surrounded by wild life. Enjoyed the deck fireplace. Hosts went above and beyond to provide information about area attractions. The neighboring state parks were beautiful, all just minutes away. Loved morning coffee on the deck. Grand kids staged a week long ring toss tournament during down time. Great fun.

40th Birthday surprise
Just a quick weekend getaway for my wife and her close friends for my wives 40th birthday. Everything worked out just fine. Bummed we didn't end up using the hot tub however. Very peaceful with no other neighbors near us.

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood is private and serene with lots of wild life, trails and places to explore. The development is lake view at the entrance and is a beautiful stroll through it's roads on the way to the playground or just to relax and take in the fresh mountain air. The lodge is not close to any other homes and is perfectly tucked back into a hemlock forest area with huge boulders and trails. It is very quiet and peaceful and located with in a few minutes of everything in the Deep Creek Lake resort. Awesome to feel so private and away from the commotion of the lake but nice to be so close that it can be accessed easily.
