RACCOON LAGOON — Deep Creek Lake, Maryland
Lakefront Log Cabin | 5BR/5BA | Private Dock | Hot Tub | Sleeps 14 | Pet-Friendly

THE PROPERTY
Raccoon Lagoon is a stunning lakefront log cabin on Deep Creek Lake — Maryland’s premier four-season mountain lake resort destination. With 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, two full living areas, and level lake access from the backyard to a private dock, this is the rare property that truly delivers on every item of the lakefront vacation wish list.
Floor-to-ceiling windows frame unobstructed panoramic views of the lake and Derp Creek State Park from the main level’s open-concept great room. Whether you’re gathered around the dining table, cooking in the fully equipped kitchen, or relaxing by the wood-burning fireplace, the lake is always the backdrop. A second fireplace anchors the lower-level game room, making it the perfect retreat on cool mountain evenings. Firewood is provided for both.
Slide open the doors and step onto the wraparound deck — one of the best lake views on Deep Creek — where an 8-person outdoor dining table, a gas grill, and a Blackstone griddle make outdoor cooking and entertaining effortless.

THE LAKE EXPERIENCE
The level, walk-out backyard leads straight to your private dock, complete with a water seat, ladder, and cleats on both sides. A stone fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs is the natural gathering spot for evenings under the stars.
The lower-level game room opens through two sets of sliding glass doors directly to the backyard and lake. Inside, enjoy a pool table and smart TV.
Step outside to the Sundance Aspen 880 hot tub — one of the brand’s largest non-lounge spas, comfortably seating 7–8 — positioned for an unobstructed view of the lake. There’s nothing quite like soaking under the open sky while snow falls over the water in winter. The dock is maintained Memorial Day through Labor Day (and often beyond, weather permitting).

WHY DEEP CREEK LAKE
Deep Creek Lake is Maryland’s largest freshwater lake and the anchor of Garrett County’s year-round mountain resort community. Nestled in the Allegheny Mountains at over 2,600 feet elevation, the area offers a rare combination of true lake living and mountain adventure — all within a 3–4 hour drive from Washington D.C., Baltimore, and Pittsburgh.
The lake itself spans nearly 4,000 acres with 65 miles of shoreline, making it large enough for serious boating while still feeling like a private escape. The surrounding region is one of the mid-Atlantic’s best-kept secrets, with world-class whitewater rafting on the Youghiogheny River, miles of hiking and biking trails, state parks, and a genuine four-season outdoor culture.

FOUR SEASONS AT RACCOON LAGOON
Summer — Deep Creek Lake is the destination. Boat, kayak, paddleboard, swim, and tube from your own private dock. The lake comes alive with activity, but Raccoon Lagoon’s cove setting keeps it feeling like your own private retreat. Marinas, boat rentals, and watersport outfitters are minutes away.
Fall — Garrett County delivers some of the most spectacular fall foliage in the mid-Atlantic, typically peaking in mid-October. Hike to Swallow Falls or Muddy Creek Falls, explore the Cranesville Sub-Arctic Swamp, hit local farm markets, and end every evening around the fire pit with the lake glowing in autumn color.
Winter — Wisp Resort, Maryland’s only ski area, is just minutes away with downhill skiing, snowboarding, snow tubing, and ice skating. Back at the cabin, two crackling fireplaces, a steaming hot tub overlooking a snow-dusted lake, and a fully stocked game room make a compelling case for never leaving. This is mountain cabin season at its finest.
Spring — As the mountains thaw, the Youghiogheny River swells into one of the best whitewater runs on the East Coast.

    I've stayed at this property before. I love that it is lake front and pet friendly - if my pup doesn't go, I don't go! It's centrally located to restaurants, shopping and Bill's Marine boat rentals. We enjoyed smores and hot dogs on the fire pit. The hot tub is very relaxing after an adventurous day kayaking.

    It was a beautiful house, very easy access to water. Loved the fact we could have our extended pet family with us. Very nice family accents (pictures, games). Mimi was very accessible and responsive to requests with absolutely no questions. Our only issue was the boat traffic which did not help with fishing and the algae around the dock which made swimming-floating a little creepy. We heard it may be from the geese, heard that from the tackle shop. The house was excellent and the 2 dishwashers were an absolute brilliant idea.

    We have stayed at this lake front property through the years. The unobstructed lake view is the best. The master bathroom has been remodeled and was terrific! Kitchen is well stocked and host Mimi was very accommodating. Highly recommend.

    We had a good time and the house was very nice. It fit our planned experience. Unfortunately we were not able to get the gas fireplace to work in the game room, which made that area and bedrooms very chilly. We used the portable heater to make it tolerable and lots of blankets. A couple of the sliding glass doors did not open or stuck badly. We made it work. All in all we had a good time.

    Raccoon Lagoon was perfect! It was exactly as it described and depicted on VRBO. The location, the amenities, yard, fire pit, the dock...I could go on. We had one slight issue with the hot tub. I called the Help Line listed on the fridge and Mimi answered on the second ring. She and I were able to come up with a solution and all was well. She could NOT have been more helpful and accommodating. We hope to visit again this summer.

    Racoon Lagoon has the perfect view of the lake which makes this one of my favorite houses to visit. It's conveniently located to restaurants, shopping and a straight shot to Bill's Marina. The open floor plan makes it easy for entertaining. The 5 bedrooms easily accommodates my family and allows for adult and teen privacy. The master bath is beautiful with double vanities and oversized tile shower. The new hot tub is great for relaxing after a day on the lake. We will be back next year for more memories.

    What an amazing week we spent at Raccoon Lagoon! First and foremost, Mimi is an incredible host… friendly, responsive and helpful! The home is spacious, clean and beautifully decorated with outstanding lake views and all of the amenities to make a stay comfortable and relaxing. Standouts include excellent mattresses, a FULLY equipped kitchen, cozy furniture and abundant outdoor spaces which offer a fire pit, hot tub, lake toys and a wrap around deck with a grill and fire wood! Pet friendly is also a huge bonus! We can’t wait to return to Deep Creek Lake and Raccoon Lagoon!

    Our family of 10 spent a week at Raccoon Lagoon over the 4th of July. We loved the house, perfect to fit all of us. The kitchen had everything possible you could want to cook for a large group. Having 2 dishwashers plus an extra fridge really helped also. All of the bedrooms were spacious and beds super comfy plus plenty of nice bath towels were provided. We rented a boat for the week from Bill's marina and kept it the home's dock. Unlike many of the houses we saw around the lake,it was a super easy short walk to our dock with no stairs to contend with. Mimi, the owner was super to work with and very responsive to any questions or issues we had. We also took advantage of the nearby state parks to hike and golfing at Lodestone. Pizza from Brenda's is an absolute must!. The only negative I can come up with is that the house sits on a very busy road. We didn't hear the traffic at all in house nor in the back yard but I was disappointed that I couldn't walk around the area. Though the shoulder was very wide I didn't feel it would be safe to walk.

    We had a wonderful time staying at Racoon Lagoon. It was the site of our family vacation this year. We enjoyed having the lake in our backyard to swim, float and dock our pontoon boat. The large backyard was fun for playing games and for having campfires at night. The house was well-equipped with dishes, glasses, silverware and other extras too. It was very comfortable for our family vacation. We had a fantastic time!

    Good times! We enjoyed the lake and home, which was just a few steps from the local creamery and donut shop, and a few minute boat ride to several on the lake locations and restaurants that allowed you to dock and walk right up. Host was responsive and helpful when needed.
