About this property

St. Bart's Retreat | Pet Friendly, Lakefront Home!

Pure vacation fun is what you will find when you choose St. Bart's Retreat for your Deep Creek Lake getaway!

This spacious lakefront home is close to favorite activities and offers lots of on-site amenities too. Upon entering the great room, the towering wall of windows with lake views will instantly catch your eye. A massive stone fireplace is another focal point that adds to the grandeur of this impressive home. It is easy to imaging gathering around its warm glow with family and friends on a crisp fall evening. You can relax on the leather sofa and watch a little TV or pop a movie into the DVD player.

An open layout makes it easy to enjoy the company of others as you are preparing meals or grabbing some snacks. The cooks in your group will appreciate having ample counterspace, an island sink and top-of-the-line appliances. With seating at the table and breakfast bar, you can share quality time as you dine together and share stories of your Deep Creek adventures. The adjacent deck is ready to host an afternoon barbecue and is the perfect spot to sip your coffee each morning as you savor the sounds of Mother Nature.

When you are ready to relax, the main level primary suite has everything you need to unwind including a king bed, lake view, TV, and private bath with an oversized jetted tub. Access to the deck is an added bonus. You can step outside for a breath of fresh mountain air when you awake so that you are energized and ready to explore mountain trails or kayak along the shoreline.

Upstairs, you can rack 'em up on the pool table in the loft when you are ready for some fun and games. Just off the loft are two suites each with a king bed and daybed with trundle, TV, lake view, and private bath. You will love the privacy that they offer when you are ready to curl up for a catnap or just need a little quiet time.

The lower level family room is a fun zone that will keep everyone entertained. Well-chosen Deep Creek-style decor compliments the easy living style of this space. You can watch TV, play shuffleboard, or simply kick-back by the gas fireplace. A wet bar with a mini-fridge keeps snacks and drinks handy. Step outside onto the lower level deck to survey views of the lake or to access the bubbling hot tub.

You will also find a fourth primary suite on this level. A queen bed, deck access, lake view and private bath make it a soothing haven where you are sure to sleep soundly. Three additional bedrooms, each with a queen, round out the sleeping quarters.

Playtime starts at your dock slip! Bring your own boat or rent one at a local marina to experience on-the-water-fun that will fill sunny summer days. Make memories around the outdoor fire pit under starry skies as you roast marshmallows and reminisce with your favorite people.

When you stay at St. Bart's Retreat, you can even bring your four-legged friend! So, you don't have to worry about leaving Fido behind. There are lots of dog-friendly area activities that you can experience together.

Nearby, you will find favorite restaurants and shops as well as Deep Creek Lake State Park. Within a ten-minute drive, you can hit the slopes or go snow tubing at Wisp Resort. When winter ends, they offer lots of fun warm weather recreation like ziplining, mountain biking, and Segway tours.

Make your plans to stay at St. Bart's Retreat, and start counting down the days until you are on "Deep Creek time"!

For your convenience, this home offers free wifi.

Great house for multi-generations!
Our 4-generation family of 13 spent a week at St. Barts in August. We had one of the best vacations ever! The spacious 7-bedroom house with all the baths worked perfectly. The suites were great for sharing with young toddlers. And the dining table was huge, allowing us all to eat together. While we have some constructive feedback, none of it was a show stopper. House was ready on time and exceptionally clean when we arrived on Saturday. As others have mentioned, the steps to the dock were steep and not usable for our 86 and 92 year old mothers. However, the answer to that was the boat launch at the nearby state park (4 minutes). One of us drove them to the launch and they picked us up there. While there was no beach area at the house, the state park beach was great, though there is a nominal fee associated with it. Access to the hiking trails at the state park was very convenient. Also, the Discovery Center was a nice thing to do with the kids. If you’re looking for a house with a good view of the lake, it’s not this one. While it may be “lakefront,” the area is heavily wooded, which blocked most of the lake. Also, the house is at the central part of the lake, so there was a lot of boat traffic in the area for most of the day. As for the house itself, the hot tub could have been cleaner, and the gas grill was grimy, especially underneath where the tanks were. Looked like the grease had overflowed the basin at some point and spilled onto the gas tanks. However it still worked fine for grilling. The wifi was not reliable and could have been better, but then again, we were in the mountains. The kitchen was spacious and well stocked. And having 2 large refrigerators was awesome. No ice makers meant buying ice, but that was not a problem when you have 2 freezers and a large Yeti cooler. Also, there was only part of a very old drying rack (no drain for bottom) and they left us only 2 kitchen towels and wash rags, which were not enough when cooking 3 meals a day for 13 people. I’d suggest 4 towels, then we’d have some clean ones while the dirty ones were being washed/dried. Or tell the renter to bring their own. Unfortunately the fire pit was in the front of the house, in the driveway, which was not that convenient. Would have been nice to have it in the back of the house. Parking area out front was fine for our 4 cars. All in all, the great stuff outweighed any negative and we were satisfied with our stay. Thank you for a memorable vacation!

Great spot for a winter getaway
This is a very beautiful, clean and spacious vacation house that feels like home. We had 10 adults, 2 kids under 5 and a couple of dogs with us and everyone was able to fit with great comfort. The common spaces are incredibly spacious and and beautiful. The dining table is enormous and we were able to get everyone eating together. There are two full size refrigerators and lots of cookware, which made our stay very comfortable. The house is located on the lake and has beautiful views all year around. When we were there the lake was frozen solid but still very beautiful. The hot tub was a lot of fun. The house is about 20 min drive to Wisp ski resort, and under 10 min to a few stores and restaurants for a variety of breakfast, lunch and dinner options. A few of us also ventured out to a few hikes in the area.

Great House
Plenty of bathrooms and beds for a big group. Kitchen and grill amenities were perfect for us to cook every meal at the house.

Sketchy start but overall a great time had by all.
Overall this house is great for a large family and we had a really great time exploring the area and tooling around the lake with a rented boat but we were not pleased when we first arrived at 4:30 pm. Our check in time was moved from 4 o’clock - the time listed on our contract - to 5 o’clock just one week prior to our arrival. When we did arrive two cleaning people were still inside the house. They were not ‘just finishing up’ they had JUST arrived! We left for a while and returned around 6 o’clock as the cleaners were leaving. This property has seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms so would take a bit longer than an hour and a half to clean thoroughly. When we went inside it was obvious that they had rushed through the cleaning process. The beds were hurriedly and unattractively made up. Decorative pillows, extra pillows, bed covers and blankets were tossed in unfolded heaps in closets. One of the master bedroom pillow cases actually had a gaping hole and another king bedroom was missing a set of twin sheets entirely but luckily we did not need the extra bed. It was clear that rugs were not vacuumed as there was debris from previous tenants. The kitchen was also hurriedly cleaned. Cabinets were grimy and crumbs were still under toasters. In addition the walls near trash cans were streaked with splattered food. We had to clean the kitchen, frig and walls before we could even unpack our groceries! The dishwashers were quite disgusting and filled with mold. When the maintenance crew came in to take care of it they sprayed the dishwashers with bleach and filled the living space with toxic chlorine fumes - very unpleasant for those of us with chemical sensitivities. The outdoor cushions on the deck chairs were filthy - covered with bird droppings. Cushions sets should be swapped for cleaning between tenants. The hot tub water was hazy and dirty. We were also surprised by the lakeside area. The online photos are a bit deceiving. There is no place to sit by the water (the fire pit is in the parking area not by the lake), no chairs on the dock and the dock is usually pretty rocky because the property sits in a heavily traveled channel of the lake. Elderly family members will find it challenging to navigate the steep and very slippery steps to the dock and will have no place to sit and enjoy the waterfront. Overall, though the management staff was very responsive to our concerns and we had a wonderful time!
