About This Home

As of September 2025

Premium lakefront in a Premium Location! If you are looking for prime lake-frontage this is a must see. Located on a peaceful cove with level lakefront, a private Type A boat dock, and expansive lake views, the 4 bedroom 2 bath cottage with detached 2-car garage offers a convenient location, expansive views from almost every room and great water depth. Newly renovated bathrooms, bedrooms, and recreation areas.

Situated in the heart of Deep Creek Lake, this property is truly close to everything: 1 mile to Deep Creek Lake State Park, 2 miles to Deep Creeks best restaurants, 2.5 miles to Garrett Cinemas and Arrowhead Market, 3.7 miles to marinas, 8 miles to Wisp Resort, easy access by water to the Deep Creek Yacht Club, 6 miles to Thousand Acres Golf Club and about 10 miles to Lodestone Golf Course and attractions like Swallow Falls and Herrington Manor State Parks. The property also offers easy access to I-68 and Corridor H.

The location on the lake is ideal for all outdoor activities, including Boating, Sailing, Kayaking, Water Skiing, Tubing, and Surfing. The property comes with a Type A dock which allows 2 power boats and a third vessel like a WaveRunner or sailboat.

This charming cottage includes a main level primary suite, an updated kitchen with granite counters and stainless steel appliances, large spaces for entertainment, 2 full bathrooms, a separate dining room, central A/C, public sewer (avoiding the construction restrictions imposed by septic systems), and 100 feet of level lake frontage. The coveted southern exposure offers all day sun to the dock, yard, firepit, and lakeside deck. Two-car garage. Level outdoor parking area ideal for all weather conditions. Large building envelope for expansion of existing cottage or future rebuild. Minimal restrictions. No HOA fees. Holds a TVRU rental license for 4 bedrooms, 12-person occupancy.

Properties with this location, accessibility, level lake frontage, and capacity for expansion afforded by public sewer are a rare find. Schedule your appointment today!
