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.

You won't waste any time putting up your feet to start your vacation in the spacious great room. 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!

Each of the main level bedrooms is furnished with a queen bed and a TV. Decorated with a good night's sleep in mind, you can rest so that you are ready for another fun-filled day at the lake.

Upstairs, a spacious primary suite provides a private haven when you need a little quiet time. Furnished with a king bed and a TV it also has a wet bar that is complete with a mini-fridge. You will love being able to unwind in your oversized jetted tub before bedtime.

The lower level family room expands your living space and will keep everyone entertained with a TV and pool table. Access to the lower deck makes it easy to take a dip in the bubbling outdoor hot tub that will soothe tired muscles throughout all four seasons. Rounding out the sleeping quarters are a bedroom with a queen bed and one with two twin beds.

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!

House was pretty but some bad issues
1) there is a metal bed frame in basement that has a piece sticking out. Both my daughters gashes their leg on it 2) kitchen is not fully equipped. There were many kitchen items that were needed but not provided. And many pans were gross 3) grass was tall and not mowed. When I called the rental office asking for them to mow so we could play outdoor games. Nothing was done to fix the issue 4) the house is on the lake and the trees are overgrown you can't see the view

Beds were not comfortable at all!
The beds were very uncomfortable in every room including the master. Seems like a wise investment to upgrade mattresses. Also the pictures made it seem as if the main area was much larger that it was. The place really needs some tlc and handy work. A bit run down. Overall nice location on the water, dock was a bit loose and one chair was broken. The side of the hot tub has a broken panel. Seems like you could make it a bit more functional.

Taylor-Made Almost Paradise
My family and I had a wonderful time during our stay. On average, we had everything that we needed. I must say, however, that this particular location left much to be desired. I have rented from or have been with others that have rented from Taylor-Made rentals in the past. We have always had above-average experiences with the locations we've stayed at. Almost Paradise was somewhat disappointing for a rental at it's price point. Some items to note: - Dog waste in the yard upon arrival. - Wobbly steps into hot tub - A broken hot tub cover. Not only has the arm that holds it on rotted away and left the sides of the unit broken and exposed, but the cover itself is in horrendous shape. It takes at least two people to remove or put on, and pieces of the broken foam from the cover are left folded upon one another or floating in the water. Also, contract said that hot tub was to be serviced day of arrival. However, service date shown was previous to arrival date, allowing water to become noticeably in need of service before our departure. - Ash and debris from charcoal grill covering patio around grill. Grill supplies minimal and found loosely blowing around yard upon arrival. - Pool table pieces broken and in disrepair. - Living room coffee table leg broken. - Dining chairs broken and in disrepair. - Broken, rusting lawnmower left sitting under deck. - 2 out of 3 available adirondack chairs broken and unusable. - General lack of attention to detail with regard to cleanliness and tidyness. As stated, while none of these things kept myself or my family from enjoying our time at Deep Creek, we have come to expect slightly more when renting from a Taylor-Made property.

Fantastic family and pooch friendly house
We were there for the Skiing. Very convenient to slopes. Plenty of room to relax. Pleasantly surprised at cleanliness with dog friendly accommodations. Some recommendations: Newer, non-stick and more frying pans; upgrade the quantity and quality of trach bags, dishwasher pods, toilet paper, etc..; and a better set of glassware...

Nice house, but location and view weren't exactly what we anticipated
The house itself was clean and nice and we did have a nice time at the house. Location could have been described a little better (it's right next to a hotel and across the street from a gas station). Mattresses were a bit uncomfortable on the beds. The view of the lake, etc. is somewhat obstructed except from one corner of the deck.
