Lake Views! HOT TUB! 8 min to WISP ski. Central Location. Walk to Coffee & Eats.

Welcome to The Lookout, your comfy Deep Creek Lake retreat! Whether you're gathering family, celebrating with friends, or planning a special couples' getaway, our vacation home offers an ideal homebase for small groups exploring DCL. Perched above the lake in the central “Trader’s Landing” location, you’re only minutes away from area favorites: boating, hiking, breweries, good eats, and more!

Mike and I are avid travelers and nature lovers, so much of The Lookout is designed to bring the outdoors in (the massive windows definitely help!). We hope this nod to nature helps you and your crew feel happy and relaxed, while equally tempted to go outside to adventure and play!

Start your mornings with coffee on the expansive deck as the sun rises over the water. Mike loves a BIG family breakfast, so the kitchen is well-stocked for groups, including large platters to serve family-style, a second fridge for drinks, and kid-friendly dishware.

Sleep soundly in buttery-soft PeachSkin sheets (you’ll thank us later) and your pick from our “pillow menu,” a luxury Danielle first experienced at a fancy-pants hotel in Europe.

Entertainment awaits in the game room—battle it out over ping pong or foosball, or dive into 50+ board games on the digital Infinity game table. Rainy day? Cozy up for movie night on the massive 72” TV, or step into the HOT TUB under string lights and starlit skies.

For a quiet escape, retreat to the library loft, where a take-one/leave-one book collection and a secluded area invite relaxation. Our particular favorite is the lookout loft, a magical hideaway with cushy seating at the top of the spiral staircase. Play music, unwind with the gaming system, or simply soak in the vibes.

Your comfort and enjoyment are our priority—we can’t wait to host you at The Lookout!
