During our time in Deep Creek, we decided to visit Wisp Resort. I was looking forward to visiting…read morethe Wisp Resort largely because of their mountain coaster. Upon arrival, I noticed how run down things seemed. The parking lot was in bad shape and there were piles of stuff just hanging out behind different buildings. I couldn't tell if they were renovating or what but definitely not how I envision a "resort". I was not shocked to find that the mountain coaster was out of order. Went with the vibes I was getting. We pivoted and rode the lift to the top. It was a beautiful ride, we saw some animals and lots of interesting plants. Once at the top we hiked around a bit and watched some people do the white water rafting. It wound up being an ok time for my family and I despite the coaster being down.

This is Maryland's only ski resort. I have skied Wisp many times and always enjoyed it. Even when…read moreit's icy. This is my first visit in over a decade and the first time not during ski season. The hotel was like I remembered. The restaurant and bar are different than my last visit. Sadly, I can't report on those because they close at 8pm. Even on Friday & Saturday nights. Wisp needs to change that for weary travelers who want a beverage after a long drive. They did do an excellent job handling our group and catering our lunch. The group dinner was given good marks by my colleagues. I want to return to play the two golf courses and ride the alpine coaster.

I was lucky to find an awesome place Called Eagle on 7 managed by Taylor-Made Realtors. They not only made it easy for me to book, but the communication was superior to anything I ever experienced. The place was fabulous, kitchen was fully stocked, comfortable beds and plenty of things to do outdoors and indoors. It was awesome to watch the deer roam in the morning and great sunsets brushing up against the mountains. Many of my family members said it was the best Easter that they had in a long time. Thanks Taylor-Made for your help in making this happen. Chris L

Customer service was apologetic, but offered little solution for this huge (and disgusting) inconvenience. After many calls back and forth we did get an air mattress that we place in the dining room for the rest of the stay and offered a partial refund. The house also seemed like it had not been cleaned properly. The bedding and bathrooms had hair all over and some were stained. No paperwork has been received, so at this point, who knows if they will honor their word with the refund. Bed bugs aside, the house was in a quiet neighborhood and close to the lake.

The details and design of the cabins are truly charming. Amenities such as coffee and soap are locally sourced.

We genuinely enjoyed our time at Blue Moon Rising and can't wait to return!

My boyfriend and I were staying in Fairmont, West Virgina, and took the short drive to McHenry MD, which was scenic, and we both loved the scenic drive and clean mountain fresh air. The resort was well maintained and easy to find. The mountain coaster was a hybrid of an Alpine slide, along with a roller coaster boasting 1300 feet. If you've never been on a mountain coaster, this is surely one that will boost your Adeline, natural zeal for life. The bonus was they even took your picture on the ride, giving you an option to purchase at the end.

A separate space for the children and the bathroom is separated from the sink. There was a small fridge in our room as well. This place has a great indoor pool! The skiing or snow boarding is plentiful. There is also plenty of places to snack and people watch! I do think the rooms could use some small upgrades. However I do realize this is a large resort and you can see where they put their money. They have everything laid out very well. Also my family and I pod for lessons and we needed up with. Very awesome and thorough instructor. Unfortunately for me, I ran into people fell and the was it for me. But my daughter stuck with it, so did my bonus son too I suppose. This trip was more for them. My husband said from the moment he put on his ski clothes he realized this may not be for him. Same! My family and I ate at a small restaurant in the resort and the bartender/sever was super nice! I never complain about food, but my Cesar salad was gross and he got it taken off and comped my whiskey. I would definitely recommend this place and I would definitely come back!

The Maryland Mountains: Congenial Resort…read more Lakewood Resort at Deep Creek Lake is a silver leaf (four star) Interval International resort located at P.O. Box 660 McHenry, MD 21541. The phone number is 301-387-7633. Interval International suggest that the nearest airport is located at Pittsburg, 110 miles northeast. Be careful not to confuse the Lakewood Resort in Maryland with a similar Lakewood Resort Club located an hour east near Morgantown, WV. The two resorts bear some similarities. Lakewood Resort at Deep Creek Lake is in western Maryland just 45 minutes east of Morgantown WV or 60 minutes southeast of Uniontown, Pennsylvania. Lakewood Resort is located just south of the Mason Dixon Line. Additional driving times are as follows: three hours northwest of Washington, D.C., five hours west of Philadelphia, and six hours east of Cincinnati. Lakewood Resort seems to be a comfortable motor trip from many eastern and Midwestern cities. The Interval International website provides eight accurate pictures of this townhouse timeshare. The indoor pool is located across S.R. 219 and requires a short drive. Families will not want children walking across a sometimes-busy highway. The exterior townhouse photo suggests a "pond" within walking distance of the Lakewood Resort at Deep Creek Lake. This "pond" is actually a very large lake that is named Deep Creek Lake. Deep Creek Lake has been a very popular resort for years. During the winter months, Deep Creek Lake may be frozen and covered with several feet of snow. The visitor may be unaware of the presence of a very large lake. Lakewood Resort at Deep Creek Lake is an excellent summer, spring, fall, and winter holiday for couples and family. Lakewood Resort at Deep Creek Lake is an older, small, but well-maintained resort. Lakewood Resort at Deep Creek Lake is located very near S.R. 219 and check in is not a hassle. Parking is convenient, and because Lakewood Resort at Deep Creek Lake has been "sold out" for years, there will be no problems with a sales staff. Lakewood Resort at Deep Creek Lake provides many activities throughout the year. Vacationers will enjoy swimming (indoor pool and large lake), tennis, fishing, boating, sailing, waterskiing, snow skiing, golfing, horseback riding, hiking, and bicycling. The units are fully furnished with air conditioning, VCR/cable television, fireplace, washer/dryer, and a completely equipped kitchen. The living areas are adequate size, and the bedrooms tend to be smaller than average. My preference is for two king beds rather than the twin beds in the second bedroom. I-68 provides a beautiful east west corridor for a motor trip through the Maryland mountains. The elevation at Deep Creek Lake is 2,487 feet. And because our family holidays frequently times in the Canadian or U.S. Rockies, I use the term "mountains" loosely. However, Dictionary.com defines a mountain as "a natural elevation of the earth's surface rising more or less abruptly to a summit, and attaining an altitude greater than that of a hill, usually greater than 2000 feet (610 meters)." Thus, the late John Denver got it right with "Take Me Home, Country Roads," a song referencing West Virginia. Western Maryland topography is very similar to the Allegheny Highlands. This is because Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia all are part of the Allegheny Highlands. The Allegheny Highlands are part of the Appalachian Mountains. The Allegheny Mountain microclimate in Maryland's western panhandle contrasts with the state's otherwise temperate conditions. If one arrives from an urban area such as Dayton, Richmond, Washington, D.C. or Baltimore, the Allegheny Highlands offer a superb mountain retreat without the potential elevation sickness that can befall those entering the Rockies. McHenry is small and unincorporated. Other nearby Garret County locations are Accident, Deer Park, Loch Lynn Heights, Mountain Lake Park, Redhouse, and Oakland. Oakland affords the most commercial businesses in Garrett County. Lakewood Resort at Deep Creek Lake and the general area offers some two-dozen restaurants from chain to "mom and pop." Perhaps, because Lakewood Resort at Deep Creek Lake is in Maryland, there are several seafood restaurants in this mountain retreat. We have been able to exchange into Lakewood Resort at Deep Creek Lake during the summer and during the winter.

Bathroom clearly not cleaned between guests, hair on floor, mouse droppings behind all furniture throughout the house.. We had to clean the comforter as they were badly soiled, but had to clean the washer and dryer first to clean bedding. This place has really gone down hill over the years. They do not show the shower/bath in photos, and most photos are very old online(not current). The shower has multiple holes in it, just filled poorly with caulk and plenty of mold. Did not appear to be dusted in months as well. Called and spoke to owners and rental management. Both apologized and stated they would take care of it and reimburse us appropriately. Guess what, been 4 weeks with no response from them. That is plenty of time. Will not use again.
