Located in the quiet Gallatin Woods community, Bears Lair is a spacious log home that puts the best of Deep Creek Lake at your fingertips. The main level exudes warmth with cathedral ceilings, hardwood floors and a stacked stone fireplace. You can unwind and watch TV by the glow of the fire with woodland views in the background. The open floorplan is ideal for get-togethers with family and friends. Meal-prep is a breeze in the well-equipped kitchen. It has everything you need to refuel your crew after they spend a fun day at area state parks or hitting the ski slopes. Seating for eight at the dining table and two at the breakfast bar ensures everyone has a comfortable spot. Decorated with your comfort in mind, the primary suite is a welcoming place with access to the deck so that you can enjoy fresh mountain air whenever you please. You will love having the choice between a claw-foot soaking tub and the spacious shower stall in the primary bath. There is also a bedroom located on the main level where you can get a good night's sleep and awaken refreshed and ready for Deep Creek Lake fun. Upstairs, the cozy loft expands you living space. It is the perfect spot to curl up with a good book on a lazy afternoon. The upper level primary suite is furnished with two twin beds and a TV. It is an ideal room for the kids, and they will love having a place to call their own. There is another bedroom on this floor with a TV as well. You will love the tranquil feel of the wooded lawn that is filled with the sounds of nature. You can kick-back on the covered porch with a cup of coffee, host an afternoon barbecue on the deck or warm-up by the fire pit under starry mountain skies. Conveniently located, you will find restaurants, shops, mini golf, marinas and more within a ten-minute drive or less. Exploring the area is easy throughout all four seasons. Wisp Resort is just ten-minutes away! You can ski, golf, snow tube, mountain bike, ice skate, ride the mountain coaster, zipline and much more. Atop the mountain is the Adventure Sports Center International where you can take a thrilling ride on their man-made white water rafting course. When you stay for a week in the summer, you can make use of the state park pass to discover the natural beauty of our area. Experience swimming at sandy beaches, hiking to picturesque waterfalls, cross country skiing in a pristine forest, kayaking in quiet coves and many other recreational opportunities.

    Beautiful, and quite location in the woods. Clean and well maintained. A mama bear and three cubs walked right by the back patio one afternoon!

    Checking in was easy—all was done online, texts, and emails. The key box was easy to find and operate. The house was well appointed with 4 en-suite bathrooms. There was a hot tub and fire pit, grill, and deck with a swing and plenty of outdoor seating. The kitchen was fully equipped—it was just like being home, but better. Log cabin, rustic feel to it was excellent. Isolated—could not see another property from any vantage point. Completely surrounded by trees—nice and quiet.

    This property was perfect for our family’s long weekend getaway! The house was clean & well appointed. Plenty of seating for our party of 8. Also, well stocked kitchen. The coffee maker is a combo coffee pot/pod system. Be aware that one of the upstairs bedrooms has a full mattress, not queen as advertised in the listing. It worked out fine for our party, but may not work for someone else. The outdoor space with the hot tub & firepit was heavenly! We spent the most time enjoying the beautiful backyard space, watching the wildlife go by & listening to the birds & owls. We even saw a hummingbird (no bears, though!). The host provides 2 towels/washcloths per bedroom. Fortunately, we brought extras to use with the hot tub. Also good to note, only 1 dish towel & 1 dish cloth was provided. We highly recommend this home for a Deep Creek vacation! The lake & activities/restaurants are an easy, quick drive away.

    Cabin was nice and a well laid out. Not toms of space to spread out but it was cozy. The outside needs a little cleanup but otherwise worked for what we needed.

    Loved this place and hope to return. Exactly as represented. Very clean and everything worked as promised. Extremely private, if you are looking for a view of the lake this is not it.

    The property was clean and well appointed. We very much enjoyed the fire pit and hot tub. Some minor wear and tear, but the property was comfortable, welcoming, and had ample room for our party of six. Many nice mountain details in the decor as well. We would definitely visit again!

    Great setting. Very private but close to everything. Kitchen was well stocked except no non stick frying pans. Hot tub was wonderful. Will come back.
