DESCRIPTION:
From the top of Wisp Mountain, Wanderlust earns its name. Ski trails and hiking paths begin steps from the front door, while the lake, golf, a mountain coaster, local shops, and beloved restaurants are all just minutes away. Bring the whole crew, even your furry family members are welcome!

Inside, the mainlevel sets the tone. A dramatic wall of windows pulls the mountains right into the room; morning light, wandering wildlife, and some of the finest sunsets Deep Creek has to offer all unfold from the comfort of the living space. The fully equipped kitchen, fireside dining area, and open lounge flow into one another naturally, so whoever's cooking never misses a moment of the conversation. Downstairs is where the nights take on a life of their own. The lower level is the true heart of the house with a custom bar, an oversized TV built for big games and movie marathons, a pool table, wall mounted Connect 4, and ring toss. Once the sun goes down, this is where everyone ends up. Up in the loft, the kids have claimed their own kingdom. A shuffleboard table, retro gaming consoles, karaoke, and a children's board-game table mean rainy afternoons turn into full-blown tournaments.

Outside, the property opens up into something special. Dine al fresco on the deck, spread out on the lawn for cornhole, Kan Jam, or giant Yahtzee, or settle into the chairs with a front-row view of the fading sunset. Fire up the BBQ, ease into the private hot tub, and end the evening around the fire pit as stars emerge over the ridgeline. The community trail just outside the door leads straight to Wisp Resort's slopes and Fork Run's 550-acre nature preserve.

Fresh powder in winter. Sunlit trails in summer. Wanderlust is the one you book first and remember longest.

    The house was immaculate and spacious! Kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed! When we had an issue getting into the house, our call for help was quickly answered and the issue was immediately resolved.

    This house was perfect. Everything was clean and seemed kept up. In great condition and even decorated for xmas which was a pleasant surprise. I’ve rented houses in deep creek for the past 10 years every November and never had one that had multiple trees up for the holiday. Also, the kitchen was very well stocked..

    We LOVED this property! It was the perfect cozy home for our annual friendsgiving. There were 9 of us and the rooms were super spacious. In addition, there were multiple gathering spaces for us to hang and we enjoyed the basement the most! There were tons of board games and a pool table, and the couches were super comfortable - many naps were taken. Things to note: the home is very high on a hill, so be mindful during snowy weather. Also, you have to take all of your trash bags down the hill into a bear-safe trash box before you leave, so make sure you have plenty of helping hands on deck! Overall, I strongly suggest this home because it adds to that family feeling. Will likely book again!

    This house was amazing! The check-in was easy and all the rooms were nice and cozy. The house was clean and everything that we needed (besides what we had to bring) we were able to find. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone looking to spend a nice getaway weekend.
