Pirates, pick your playtime: on the lake, in the woods or are you an indoor stow-away?
Whether you are an adrenaline junky and want to push the limits waterskiing/wakeboarding, white-water rafting and tubing or prefer to slow down with a stand-up-paddle-board (SUP), kayak or canoe trip, Wisp'd Away's lake frontage has you covered. Meander down a short private path to an assigned boat slip and dock.
SUP/canoe or kayak around Savage Cove to explore our wetland refuge and its wide variety of ducks, turtles and birds, or jump on your boat and head directly into the larger body of Deep Creek Lake for fun-filled afternoons of boating, sailing and tubing. Tie up an inflatable pad off the dock and spend a lazy afternoon relaxing in the sun.
Are you interested in mountain biking, hiking, snowshoeing, and forest Hide-n-Seek tournaments?
Head out into our 3 .5 acres of private trails for a quick mountain bike or cross country ski warm-up-- before hitting some of DCL's larger trail system or play rounds of hide-n-seek in the woods with the little ones, build a fort, play freeze tag or climb, swing and flip with your littles on the Creative Playthings outdoor activity center. Your imagination is the only limit.
Indoor Stow-aways: need to rest a sunburn? Rainy day?
The main cozy living space makes perfect use of the views via the large glass patio doors, while a grand stone fireplace brings about a sense of intimacy and warmth. Local artisan furnishings and decor provide for just the right touch of under-spoken luxury while you sit and read by a roaring fire, or enjoy a glass of wine while listening to some music.

Deer, Turkeys, ducks, squirrels, rabbits, etc. Additionally, the area is known for having bears and they love to rummage through trash and may be attracted to food left outside.

Failure to keep trash secured in the bear boxes or proper clean up of gas grills may result in a hungry black bear visit.
