Crazy Idea | Wooded Views, Fire Pit, & Air Hockey

Welcome to Crazy Idea! An immaculate vacation rental home located in the serene Sky Valley community of Deep Creek Lake and a true dream getaway for West Virginia University fans. Thoughtfully decorated throughout with spirited Mountaineer touches, including WVU-themed chairs, sofas, cups, décor, and even shower curtains, this one-of-a-kind retreat brings fun personality and team pride to your mountain escape. Boasting 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, Crazy Idea is the ultimate vacation destination for families, couples, or small groups looking for a relaxing and memorable Deep Creek Lake getaway.

As you open the doors to Crazy Idea, you'll be warmly greeted by the sight of the wood planked walls of the great room and the cozy seating that surrounds the stone fireplace in the heart of the home. The warmth is only enchanced by the abundance of natural light that flows into the space from the large windows throughout.

The main living area boasts an inviting ambiance, with plenty of light filtered through windows and offering spectacular lush foliage in the late spring and summer months. It makes the perfect escape for enjoying the changing colors of leaves come fall. Or sit by the wood-burning stone fireplace with a cup of cocoa after a day of skiing or snowboarding at the nearby Wisp resort.

You will enjoy comfortable seating arrangements upstairs with a flat-screen TV, providing the perfect spot for family movie nights or curling up with a good book. Downstairs you will find another living space with a couch that doubles as a sleeper sofa and an air hockey table. This makes for the perfect retreat to entertain older children and teens all night long while adults enjoy conversation over wine in the main room in peace.

The spacious kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to make cooking and cleanup a breeze. Just off the kitchen, set the table for six and enjoy the fresh air through the sliding door as you eat a delicious meal cooked out on the grill in casual comfort.

At night, retire to one of the three large bedrooms of your choice and tuck yourself away in the soft bedding for a sound and peaceful sleep. Two of the bedrooms feature queen-sized beds, while the third features a double bed and double bunks perfect for children or teens. There are also three and a half well-appointed full bathrooms, with modern fixtures and plenty of fluffy towels to make your stay more comfortable.

The outdoor space at Crazy Idea features two large decks for enjoying the surrounding trees or a cocktail at sunset, a gas grill for family cookouts, and a firepit that will provide the perfect camping experience only steps from your indoor retreat.

As a guest at Crazy Idea, the Sky Valley community amenities are at your disposal. You will enjoy access to the lake and a catch-and-release fishing pond, and a park setting with a playground for children.
