About this property

It's a Wonderful Life | Boat Slip + Hot Tub

An extraordinary vacation begins with an extraordinary vacation home. If you want to experience Deep Creek Lake in style, look no further than It's a Wonderful Life! This lakefront retreat checks all the boxes in terms of amenities and conveniences.

Prepare to be "wow"-ed when you step inside the spacious main level. Natural light fills the great room highlighting the hardwood floors. You can unwind on the sectional sofa to watch TV or toast with a glass of wine in front the gas fireplace.

Even the most discerning guest will be pleased with the gourmet kitchen. Outfitted with everything you need, it has 3 ovens, 2 dishwashers, 2 separate sinks, 2 beverage chiller drawers, and a 6-burner gas stove with a griddle.

The adjacent dining area is bright and airy. Everyone can share meals together at the table, and there is additional seating at the breakfast bar as well.

Decked out for fun times with family, the game room is also on the main level. Options include pool, shuffleboard, and darts. Plus, there is a table for board games. You can watch your favorite team on TV while you mix up everyone's favorite beverages at the wet bar.

There are two spacious suites with private baths on the main level. One is furnished with a king bed and the other has a queen bed.

Upstairs, the loft is a cozy spot complete with a gas fireplace. It has a TV along with a daybed with a trundle giving you another option for sleeping arrangements. There is a bedroom with queen bed and TV on this floor and a full bath.

Yet another gathering space can be found on the lower level. The family room is warm and inviting with a gas fireplace, TV, and comfortable leather furnishings. You will love the convenience of the wet bar that has a beverage fridge, microwave, and dishwasher. Beautifully decorated, each of the lower level suites has a king bed and a TV.

Truly a highlight, the exceptional outdoor living space is right out of a magazine. It includes a deck that overlooks a massive stone patio. You will appreciate features like a stone fireplace, massive outdoor fire-pit, hot tub, outdoor bar, ping pong, horseshoe pit, axe throwing, hammocks, and a pond with a waterfall. Just steps away from your door is the pathway to the dock with your designated boat slip.

Your crew will love the convenient location! Within one mile, you will find restaurants, nightlife, a market, and the movie theater. You are also close to boat rentals, mini golf, shops, and Deep Creek Lake State Park.

Wisp Resort is only ten minutes away, and they are well-known for their year-round adventures. Golf, skiing, snow tubing, ziplines, and the mountain coaster offer something for everyone.

It's a Wonderful Life comes complete with everything you need to have a fantastic Deep Creek Lake vacation!

If your rental is listed as having a Boat Dock as an amenity provided with this property, this is subject to weather conditions, water levels, and other natural factors.

Great Property

The house was spacious and wonderful. The outdoor patio was where we spent most of our time there. Plenty of bed areas and the house worked out exactly as we needed.

Nice house but not at the price

A very nice but older house. The house was clean and comfortable, great hot tub, and nice access to the lake but many items in the house were broken, the tvs were a hodgepodge, and all of the outdoor heaters (advertised in photo and asked about ahead of time) were unable to be used or repaired by maintenance for use. We expected better, given the price point. Would not rent again at this price.

Very clean. Great location. Couldn't have asked for more! Had issues with TV on a March Madness Final 4 weekend; Bill came to our rescue within a short time of our call and got our TV working!! Great guy; great service! We will definitely be back next year.

Nice location

Perfect spot for first stay at Deep Creek. House was spacious and good for entertaining but a deep clean is badly needed along with basic lawn care and landscaping. Also only one kitchen towel and wash cloth for entire week and not quite one bath towel per person for week. Soaps and shampoo only half full. Most bathrooms had one roll of toilet paper and some had none. One roll of paper towels and one trash bag for entire week. For the price we paid we should not have needed to purchase so many supplies.

Over the top long weekend with children and grandchildren to celebrate Grandpa’s 75th Birthday. The house was perfect and a wonderful location. Plenty of room for all five couples with each having their own bedroom and bathroom. Well appointed and gourmet kitchen with a wonderful dining area. Game room was fabulous! Great outdoor living areas and large hot tub to enjoy! Would highly recommend for any celebration or relaxation!
