About this property

Black Bear Retreat | Covered Porch + Hot Tub

Centrally located, this charming cabin is the perfect choice for a couple or a get-together with friends.

Step inside this home and you are welcomed by high ceilings, exposed beams and comfortable furnishings. Kick-back in the great room to watch TV with the glow of the gas fireplace providing the perfect amount of ambiance.

The well-equipped kitchen has everything you need to make home-style meals. Gather at the dining table, or take your dinner outdoors. Easy access to the deck is perfect when you are in the mood for a cookout.

Each of the main level bedrooms is decorated with a good night's sleep in mind. They are both furnished with queen beds and TVs.

Upstairs, the loft has a double futon that gives you an additional sleeping space for extra guests. The upper level bedroom is outfitted with a queen bed and TV.

You will love the great outdoor space at Black Bear Retreat! The large lot offers a perfect setting for an afternoon barbecue or a game of horseshoes.

When the sun goes down, the outdoor firepit is the perfect place to relax and gather for an evening of storytelling and stargazing. The soothing outdoor hot tub is an added bonus for a relaxing end to the day.

Drive five to ten minutes to reach favorite Deep Creek Lake restaurants, the movie theater, marinas and a full service market.

Deep Creek Lake State Park is close-by too, when you want to swim at a sandy beach, rent kayaks, hike scenic trails or take the kids to the Discovery Center for nature themed crafts.

Venture a few minutes further to check out Wisp Resort ~ a four season resort with something for every member of your family. Skiing, golf, snow tubing, ziplines, a mountain coaster, ice skating and mountain bike trails are just a few of their offerings. Atop the mountain, white water rafting thrills are waiting for you.

The Deep Creek Lake area is surrounded by quaint small towns that offer a variety of unique experiences. You can taste artisanal cheeses, step back in time at a museum, browse treasure at antique shops or buy some classic vinyl.

Choose Black Bear Retreat for your next vacation and look forward to making memories in the heart of Deep Creek Lake!

Overall it was good.
Overall, my friends and I had a great experience. Only negative comment is about the hot tub. The hot tub is old, outdated, and small. It takes a long time for the water to heat up. It only fits up to 4 adults.

Fishing trip
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Spent Two days at black bear retreat for fishing trip with family. House is in great location to Deep Creek boat ramp. Home needs some TLC. But for a fishing trip it was great. Love the fire pit!

We loved the rental!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: There were six of us on our stay and we found Black Bear Retreat to be the perfect size for our group. Although the property is not right on the lake it's a short drive to get there. There were ample grounds to play outdoor games. We enjoyed the hot tub and the fire pit. I was pleasantly surprised to find there were air conditioning window units on both the first and second floor. The property was clean when we arrived. I've been renting from Taylor Made for the last several years and their staff is always professional. I was a little puzzled by the parking restriction of three vehicles since the parking area was pretty large and additional vehicles could have easily fit. Overall, this has been my favorite rental to date and we are hoping to return to Black Bear Retreat again next year!
