Deep Creek Lake Real Estate Market 3/21/09 - 03/21/09 08:24 AM
Our Deep Creek Lake real estate market is certainly a buyer's market.  However, we do not have the amount foreclosures or short sales around the lake and mountain as many other areas do. I think that is because we are primarily a second home market and many of our sellers don't need to sell. They have the luxury of trying to get their asking price or waiting out the market.
With all that said there are still some excellent deals and with interest rates low, it is a great time to get into the Deep Creek Lake Real Estate Market.  Sam … (0 comments)

Craftmans Style Homes For Sale, Deep Creek Lake - 03/21/09 08:21 AM
When you build or buy a Craftsman Home you are not only finding yourself a well constructed home, you are purchasing a bit of history. Stickley and his designers were part of the wave of architects that inspired the Prairie School Movement, Frank Lloyd Wright's baby. "The Craftsman" homes have long been lauded as one of the most inspired, economical, beautiful movements in American architecture. They have stood the test of time and been found to be long-lasting, strongly-constructed homes. This should be no surprise, as they promise simplicity, ecological awareness, and comfort all within a basic elegant style. After more … (0 comments)

Bear Claw Snow Tubing Park, Deep Creek Lake
This is great fun and the good news is that you wont have to hike back up the hill. You must use the tubes provided.  This sport is popular as everyone can do it. No lessons and expensive equipment.  Just hop on a tube and connect to a rope tow that will take you to the top. Get ready to scream and laugh!!
In compliance with State of Maryland Regulations, in order for children to participate they must be at least 42" tall.

Will-O-The-Wisp, another great place to stay or purchase, Deep Creek Lake - 03/09/09 07:58 AM
 
As much as I love Silver Tree Suites I also love Will-O-The-Wisp.  It is an older complex but all the units are on the water.  Each unit is privately owned and most all are in the rental market. I used to own one of these and we totally renovated it.  It is unit 709H. Some of these units are also being offered for sale.
If you would like to know more about this Condo Hotel, give me a call or email me, as I am never too busy to talk with you. Here is some more information.

You won't whine if you try this wine! - 03/07/09 08:45 AM
Coming to Deep Creek Lake and taking time to enjoy all the activities that the area has to offer has its rewards. But there is also time out to catch up on some private time and each other.  Fireside Deli and Wine Shop is a place where you can do just that!  Every Saturday from 12-4 you can taste some wine from small vintners around the world. The shop offers an extensive selcetion of fine wine. Of course there is some great gourmet food and gifts as well. It could be nice to have a picnic basket packed by the friendly staff and … (0 comments)

If you have not attended the Cardboard Box Derby at Wisp Resort, you can do that on March 21st, at the Bear Claw Tubing park.  It is loads of laughs and fun!  This event reminds me of the Whitewater Pumkin Race but instead of pumpkins these are real people, trying to beat each other in make shift cardboard somethings! In the past Long and Foster has played an active part in this reace and this year is no exception.  This event is sponsered by the Deep Creek Lions Club and part of Wisp's Beachin Weekend.

Gas Station Blunder!! Mama Mia!! - 03/03/09 06:33 PM
Last week I was driving home after an ok work day. Even though my day had not been the best I was all excited about the nice day we were having at Deep Creek Lake.  We had some fresh snow on the ground and the sun was shining. The sun made the snow glisten and the air smelled so clean! It made me walk a little faster and my energy started to increase.
 I decided to stop and get gas. There were several people at Slope Side so I decided to go inside and say hello.  We started talking and I got engrossed in conversation. … (4 comments)

Feeding the Deer on the mountain at Deep Creek Lake - 03/01/09 01:34 PM
My husband is a city boy and he has loved living in Garrett County. He is a vegetarian and loves nature and all it has to offer.  Actually my daughter is a vegetarian as well. Not me, but I am finding it hard these days to eat venison (deer)!  He loves feeding these guys and of course many have names.  They continue to be somewhat wild which is a good thing, but they have developed trust to a degree.  Not to worry, there is no hunting allowed on the mountain!!
