About this property

Brief Respite | Lakefront, Dock Slip, Hot Tub

A lifetime of family memories will be made when you choose Brief Respite for your Deep Creek vacation. This lakefront chalet is close to the water's edge and within minutes of numerous area attractions.



Once inside you will find that modern furnishings grace the bright and airy Great Room, however, it is the spectacular lake views that will keep you in awe! A huge stone wood fireplace brings promises of snowy nights cuddled up and bonding with loved ones. A large 46" flat screen TV and a library of DVDs will keep everyone entertained.



The remodeled kitchen showcases gorgeous granite countertops and modern stainless steel appliances. Fully stocked, you have everything you need to make your family's favorite meals. Dine around the dining table and enjoy the lake views or take your meal outside and barbeque on the charcoal grill. Evenings and early mornings are best spent hanging out on the expansive wraparound deck where you can watch lake activities come to life.



A few steps up, you will find your Primary Suite which features a King bed, an oversized jetted tub, separate shower, a 32" flat screen TV and stunning lake views. On this upper level you will also find two more beautifully decorated bedrooms with Queen Sized beds. A full bath with a shower stall only is also on this level.



The lower level Family Room is a warm and cozy area to hang out as you watch your favorite shows on the 42" TV. The adjacent game room is kept comfortable with a gas fireplace and the skylight and big windows allow the sunlight to perfectly filter inside. Playing on the air hockey table will be a favorite activity for all to enjoy. A pub table also makes this a fun hangout area for you and your guests.



The Primary Suite on this level offers not only a King size bed but amazing lake views and deck access. In addition to another full bath, you will also find your final bedroom with a Queen bed.



Outdoor fun is waiting for you whether you are relaxing on the porch swing and enjoying lake views or taking a dip in the bubbling outdoor hot tub. Just a short walk down stair step walkway you will find your dock slip. Whether you choose to bring a boat, rent one locally, or just swim and play, your dock is the perfect place to spend your summer days! Brief Respite is a wonderful lakefront home that explodes with amenities. Just a short drive away from Wisp Resort, State Parks, and area shopping and dining, you will find the location to be a very convenient.

Great stay with few needs

Great place for a get away, but we did need to call the Hot Tub tech. Also, the cabin was lacking a useable whisk, oven mitt, and sharp knives for cooking. Overall, I highly recommend this cabin and would definitely stay here again!

Deep Creek-Friendly Getaway

The home was spacious and well-updated with a perfect lakeside setting. Would definitely stay again. Only negatives, which kept me from rating the Cleanliness score a 5, was the dishwasher had some mold in it which needs addressed and garbage disposal did not work which was a little smelly.

Family Vacation

We booked this property for 2020 but due to covid we weren't able to travel. The property managers allowed us to move the reservation to the same week this year. The property was comfortable for 9 adults and one baby. It's right on the lake for those that want to fish. There's plenty to do in the area. The aviary at the Deep Creek Lake Discovery Center is great to learn about birds of prey.

College graduation gift

The pictures of the house dont do justice how beautiful the house is. The house is very homey and clean. The kitchen is fully stocked with any cooking possibilities. They even have a crockpot, wire sticks for making stores and barbecue utensils. You only need to bring the food and seasonings you need. We enjoyed soaking in the hot tub at nights. We enjoyed our bubble baths in the jacuzzi. We love making smores and cooking hotdogs in the fire pit. They have both gas and charcoal grill. We used the latter which we really enjoyed cooking burgers. We love the easy access to the lake. Although we're only a family of 5, I think 2 families can comfortably stay here. It is a home away from home. We can't wait to come back.
