About this property

Boulder Ridge Cabin -a private chalet in the woods

If you are looking for a private, quiet retreat, that's only 15 minutes from Deep Creek Lake, Wisp Resort, shopping, etc., this cabin is for you. Inside the cabin you'll find a well equipped kitchen, a large living area with a wood burner for cool evenings, a laundry room, a loft bedroom, and a bathroom with shower/tub combo. Outside there's a screened porch with chairs, a campfire area, a hammock, beautiful boulders. We've cleared a trail through the woods that leads to a bench for wildlife viewing or just relaxing.
Sleeping arrangements are a queen bed in the loft and a full pull out couch in the living room.
If you're looking for dates that are already booked, check out Fern Hill Cabin on Bear Ridge Court for available dates. It's in the same general location. Sorry no dogs at Fern Hill Cabin.
PLEASE BE ADVISED, A 4x4 OR ALL-WHEEL VEHICLE IS REQUIRED DURING THE WINTER MONTHS. I RECOMMEND NOV 1ST THROUGH APRIL 15. VISTA RIDGE DRIVE AND THE DRIVEWAY TO THE CABIN ARE ONLY PLOWED AFTER 6" OF SNOW HAS FALLEN

This is a wonderful private property that was cozy and inviting. It is approximately 10-15 minutes from any stores, restaurants, or activities but that was not an issue for us. The wood burning stove warmed the home very well. Its a great place to escape the daily pressures of life. We really enjoyed our time at the cabin.

Relaxing Retreat

Always enjoy our time at Boulder Rdige Cabin. It is a wonderful retreat from our busy life. It is close enough to the activity of DCL yet private in its beautiful woodsy setting. Clean, comfortable with all the amenities we need. Sitting on the screened in porch while listening to the trees rustle and birds talking is my favorite thing to do!

Absolutely Beautiful.

My husband and I needed to get away from life for a weekend and Boulder Ridge Cabin was perfect. It was very cozy and serene. It was very clean. There are other cabins around but they are far enough away you can't really see them even in the middle of winter.
