Summer activities Water sports are favorite pastimes on Deep Creek Lake, Maryland's largest freshwater lake. Both power boating and sailing are popular. Powerboats are available for rent at local marinas. The sailboat regattas on the southern end of the lake are a beautiful spectacle to behold and an exciting event to participate in. Boating, water-skiing, jet skiing and swimming abound during the warm summer months. Fishing is also excellent on the lake as well as in the numerous streams found within Garrett County. If you never have tried whitewater rafting, a day of excitement and beautiful scenery is awaiting you. Whitewater rafting has become an exciting attraction whether you prefer the gentle waters of the Middle Youghiogheny or the challenging rapids of the Upper Yough. Garrett County provides miles of bike trails through state parks and surrounding countryside. We have something for everyone regardless of your expertise. Bicycle rentals are available at local bike shops.

Fall Both power boating and sailing continue to offer good times. What better way to view the fall foliage than by water! Some say that the fall is the best time for fishing. Early each morning, you'll find ardent fishermen in search of that one that got away. Exploring the leaf bright trails by horseback is a relaxing but exciting way to spend an autumn day. With 74,000 acres of state forests, hiking and mountain biking are other ways to view the bountiful fall scenery. State parks have guided hiking tours and fall color hayrides as well as many other activities. Local nature tourism vendors offer a variety of outdoor activities that include: overnight backpack trips, wild land hikes, family float trips, bonfires, etc. Hunting, of course, has always been a popular sport in Garrett County. The state of Maryland maintains over 80,000 acres of public hunting lands.

Guest Book Your home is absolutely gorgeous. We really enjoyed ourselves. we had a wonderful time and the kids really enjoyed the hot tub and the pool table. We were able to relax and your home made our trip perfect. Thank you for opening your home for others to enjoy. You have done a fabulous job decorating. Also, the beds are the most comfortable we have ever slept on. Everything was great. The only disappointment for our kids was no bear sightings. They were looking really hard and they wanted to see one. We will have to come back in the summer. thank you again for such a memorable Thanksgiving. Gini & Mike Howard
