Welcome to Lazy Bear Lodge, a spacious and charming log cabin nestled in the Appalachian Mountains of Western Maryland’s serene Sky Valley, near Deep Creek Lake. This 3-bedroom retreat with an additional loft can comfortably host up to 10 guests, making it the perfect escape for family vacations or group getaways.
Inside, the great room offers entertainment for all ages, featuring a flat-panel TV, Blu-ray DVD player, a bar, air hockey, foosball, and a variety of board games. Unwind by one of the two cozy gas fireplaces, or head out to the fully screened back porch to enjoy the peaceful wooded surroundings. For outdoor relaxation, the cabin’s amenities include a private hot tub, gas grill, fire pit, and ample parking.
In warm weather, take advantage of Lazy Bear Lodge’s proximity to the Thousand Acres Golf Club, just a half-mile away, and Deep Creek Lake, where you’ll find a private swim area with a sandy beach, boat launch, picnic area, and a stocked fishing pond with a picturesque gazebo. During the winter, enjoy skiing and snowboarding at nearby Wisp Resort.
After a day of exploring, return to the cabin to prepare a meal in the fully equipped kitchen and gather around the fireplace for a cozy evening together. With free WiFi, children’s games, and entertainment options, Lazy Bear Lodge is your ideal year-round retreat. Book your stay today and create unforgettable memories in this beautiful mountain escape.
