Recently refreshed, Dancing Bear Lodge is a centrally located, dog friendly retreat that will please the entire family! From new lighting to fresh, neutral paint, the updates create the perfect home base at Deep Creek Lake.

Step inside, and you are welcomed by gleaming hardwood floors and cathedral ceilings. Decorated with a modern lodge theme, the main level's open layout easily lends itself to spending quality time together. Sink into comfortable leather sofas to watch TV with theglow of a crackling fire to warm you up on a crisp mountain night.

Newly equipped with black stainless steel appliances, dinnerware, and small appliances, the kitchen has everything you need to make delicious homestyle meals. Lots of counter seating gives everyone a spot to sit when you share big breakfasts or late-night snacks.

On the main level, you will find two bedrooms. Each one has a wall-mounted TV and is decorated with a good night's sleep in mind. One is furnished with a queen bed and the other with two bunk beds.

Upstairs, the primary suite gives you privacy so that you can completely unwind after a day spent exploring the outdoors. Filled with beautiful wood furnishings, it is both attractive and restful. You can watch TV before closing your eyes to dream of Deep Creek Lake adventures.

Each morning, you can pull up a rocking chair on the covered front deck to drink your coffee and consider your daily itinerary. Will it be hiking, biking, swimming, or fishing The choice is up to you! Do a as much ~ or as little ~ as you please. The large grassy lawn that surrounds you has plenty of room for the kids to run and play with Fido. Plus, the back deck is ready and waiting to host an afternoon barbecue.

Centrally located, you are within minutes from restaurants, mini golf, marinas, shops, ziplines and more.

Wisp Resort is nearby offering four seasons of fun! Experience skiing, golf, snow tubing, the mountain coaster, disc golf, escape games and much more. On top of the mountain, the Adventure Sports Center is home to white water rafting thrills on their man-made river.

Area state parks are brimming with activities for every age and interest. Miles of hiking trails, sandy beaches for swimming, canoe rentals, cross country skiing and fishing are just a few ways to enjoy our public lands.

Choose Dancing Bear Lodge for your next Deep Creek vacation and look forward to lazy days at the Deep Creek Lake!

    The house is centrally located but off the main Hwy. which is nice. It’s across the street from the lake but with no lake access except at the State Park about 8 miles away. The house itself is well maintained, nicely furnished and cozy. We liked the rocking chairs on the front porch especially.

    The home is nice. Close to things as well. We had no a/c the day we arrived. The house was hot and miserable. I called right away. They don’t answer the phones but sent message via email. Technician was sent out next day. Got unit running but it never cooled. He said it was on its last legs and wasn’t sure it would work. I called and emailed every day after and they never replied. It was unbearably uncomfortable in the house. Very disappointed as it ruined our whole stay

    Fantastic lodge. Open family room with lots of space connecting with the kitchen. Ample seating for gathering of family and friends. Enjoyable area in back with hot tub and fire pit. Plus, wonderful large front porch with rocking chairs for casual relaxing and morning coffee.

    8 adults and a couple small doggos stayed in this property for a long weekend trip to Wisp to go skiing and snowboarding. The house fit us well! The kitchen/living space was very open, which was nice for socializing. The kitchen had everything we needed appliance and cookware wise. However the house doesn't come with any consumables - you will need to bring everything with you including toilet paper, towels, dishwasher/laundry detergent, condiments, spices, cooking oil, hand soap, etc. The house is a quick drive to the slopes, but a little far to come back for lunch during the day so plan on being at the hill all day long. The driveway is steep and with the ice and snow we got while on our trip, one of our cars got stuck and couldn't get up the driveway. They provided a shovel and rock salt, so we managed to create a way to drive up, but just fyi that it could be an issue without 4 wheel drive! Hot tub was great. Would stay here again.

    We had a group of 6 women who were away for a girls weekend! The house was beautiful and up to date, and we enjoyed the hot tub and back patio area. We do feel like the steps to the front porch need to be replaced, they are very weak and not safe, as is the back step to the patio. Otherwise, everything was perfect for our quick getaway!

    I would like to know if the owner is able to put shades on the front and back doors to make people feel more private.

    I rented the Dancing Bear Lodge for a group trip to deep creek lake Maryland and it was a fantastic experience! The VRBO was exactly as described and very clean! It was a 5 minute drive from several restaurants, a grocery store and a marina where we rented a boat from! I would highly recommend staying here!
