Shelby on the Lake is a warm and inviting mountain retreat tucked along the northern shoreline of Deep Creek, less than two miles from Wisp Resort. Year-round adventure, relaxation, and lakefront fun are right at your fingertips!

Outside, the expansive lakefront deck invites you to relax, nap in the shade, or gather at the fire pit under a blanket of stars. A wooden boardwalk leads to your private dock slip — bring or rent a boat to explore Deep Creek’s quiet coves!

Coming soon: a brand-new synthetic turf area for yard games like cornhole and bocce, plus a beautiful stone walkway leading to the waterfront and a brand-new lakefront stone patio seating area — the perfect spot to savor those serene lake views.

Step inside to soaring cathedral ceilings, stunning lake views, and a massive stacked-stone fireplace that anchors the great room — perfect for cozy nights by the fire, sharing laughs and stories. The spacious kitchen, with stainless steel appliances, five barstools, and two dining tables, makes feeding the whole crew a breeze. Sliding doors lead to the deck where you can fire up the grill, dine outdoors, or simply soak in the fresh mountain air.

When it’s time to unwind, you’ll find five bedrooms designed with comfort in mind: a main-level primary suite with king bed, jetted tub, fireplace, and deck access; two upper-level suites (one king, one queen); a lower-level suite with queen bed and lake views; plus a charming double bedroom and two dens with sleeper sofas — offering plenty of space for everyone.

On the lower level, entertainment takes center stage with a pool table, foosball, wet bar, second fridge, wood-burning fireplace, and a bubbling outdoor hot tub just steps away.

With Wisp Resort practically at your doorstep, you can have paddleboards, kayaks, or bikes delivered right to the house and enjoy golf, skiing, snow tubing, ziplining, and more. Local restaurants, nightlife, marinas, and seven scenic state parks are all within easy reach.

When you’re ready for a place where you can truly get away from it all and have it all — book your stay at Shelby on the Lake today!

    We had a fantastic time! The house was beautiful and suited our needs. We had fun on the lake during the day and around the fire pit at night. The house was furnished nicely with a lot of comfortable seating to visit or play games.

    Absolutely loved the house and the location. We did call the office in the beginning to ask about recycling but unfortunately did not get a call back. We did find the center at the end of the week. There were a couple little things that we thought should be mentioned and left a note on the counter before we left. But none of them affected our stay. Again a beautiful house and a beautiful lake.

    We had a great time at Shelby on the Lake. There were 11 of us ranging in age from 13 to 79. We all had fun. There was so much to do and the house was beautiful!

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We visited Shelby with 7adults and 2 children,plenty of room. The lake and shoreline at the dock was very well maintained. You can walk into the lake and swim. The house is very close to the lake. The deck is lovely, the hot tub is large and clean. The furniture is well maintained but dated. We would choose Shelby again except one adult had a severe allergy attach, usually caused by exposure to cats. It is not a pet friendly property, and we choose it for that reason.

    Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My brother and I rented this property for a family reunion. The property was spacious, clean and for the most part a good fit for our stay. We had a problem with the stove cook top half of it was not functioning. After 4 calls to the rental company they sent a hot plate. Sort of an inconvenience as most of the woman folk in the family brought there signature dishes to cook. The basement was a bit cold and damp but other wise there were no major issues.
