About this property

Alpine Cove | Expansive Decks + Private Dock!

Amazing vacations start with an extraordinary vacation home! Alpine Cove (formerly Sunshine Daydream) is a lakefront retreat that promises an exceptional Deep Creek Lake vacation from start to finish!

This home was recently transformed, and highlights of the updates include new furnishings and decor, new bedding, a breakfast bar, and two laptop friendly workspaces.

A destination unto itself, Alpine Cove opens limitless possibilities for fun, relaxation, and adventure. Conveniently located, you are steps from the water's edge and within a short drive to favorite area attractions like Wisp Resort.

Natural light fills the main level, giving the great room a bright and airy feel. A wall of windows reveals scenic lake views through the trees. The spacious great room/dining room combo is a welcoming area to gather with friends and family throughout your getaway. Well-chosen furnishings, gleaming hardwood floors, and vaulted ceilings are just a few of the highlights. Kick-back on the sofa to watch your favorite shows or to make plans for your next Deep Creek Lake adventure. The dining table seats ten, and there is an additional table with space for six. Both are perfect for sharing meals or for board games after the dishes are cleared.

Ample counterspace and lake views will delight the chefs in your group. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare big breakfasts or delicious dinners. Bar seating for four gives the kids a spot to grab a quick snack. Completely cozy, the adjacent den is a comfortable sitting area with a beautiful stone fireplace. Its warm glow creates the perfect vibe for your mountain getaway. Sliding doors open to the expansive deck that overlooks the lake.

The main level primary suite is furnished with a queen bed and has a private bath. It is a quiet spot where you can relax and recharge. You will love having deck access so that you can start your day with a breath of fresh mountain air before having your coffee.

Upstairs, the loft is your own personal fun zone complete with a pub table, pool table, foosball, a TV, and a shelf stocked with books and games. Challenge friends to a game of pool or foosball with the big game playing in the background.

Stunning lake views are the focal point of the first upper-level suite. It has a king bed, a TV, and a private bath with a jetted tub that is ideal when you need to relax. Overlooking the water, the second suite is equally inviting. This room is also furnished with king bed and a TV. Doors that open to your own private balcony are an added bonus.

The lower-level family room is a comfortable sitting area where you can curl up with a good book or step out onto the for a breath of fresh mountain air. Two bedrooms are also located on this level. One offers a queen bed and the other is outfitted with two duobunks.

Incredible outdoor space is a perk that everyone will appreciate at Alpine Cove. Multiple decks that are shaded by a canopy of trees and a stone patio allow you to fully immerse yourself in the beautiful surroundings. It is easy to imagine sipping your coffee with the sounds of nature all around you or hosting a barbecue while boats cruise by in the background. When you spend a long day on the ski slopes or hiking at Swallow Falls State Park, the steamy outdoor hot tub will be a welcome sight.

On-the-water fun starts at your private dock. Explore miles of shoreline and quiet coves with your crew and return to your lakefront for swimming or fishing.

The convenient location is off-the-beaten-path but is within 10-minutes or less from restaurants, shops, Deep Creek Lake State Park, and Garrett 8 Cinemas. A short 15-minute drive takes you to four seasons of fun at Wisp Resort. Experience zip-lining, mountain biking, mountain coaster rides, skiing, snow tubing and much more! Atop the mountain, you will find the Adventure Sports Center International where you can take a thrilling trip on their recirculating whitewater course or test your stamina with rock climbing.

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 treasures at antique shops, or buy some classic vinyl.

There are so many ways to make Deep Creek Lake memories with family and friends. You will want to return year after year to experience it all. Reserve Alpine Cove and look forward to a vacation that you will never forget and traditions that you will cherish.

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.

Family vacation

We had a really nice time on our family vacation. House was spacious and great location. The inside of the house was clean, but the outside decks were a mess. Mouthing but spiders and spiderwebs car cleaned them. The house was on a high elevation bye steps down to the lake were not in good shape.

Family Getaway

The house was very nice. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were comfortable. We enjoyed the deck and the fire pit on the lower level. The steps to the water need help though. They are stone pavers and several of them are loose and it makes it a tricky walk down for all ages. (The front steps also had some loose stones.). We rented a boat and enjoyed the beautiful lake which is quite large. It was a great family trip.

Big Home set back from Attractions

The home is beautiful. A big, mountain home which sits lake front. However, there are no widow treatments in the majority of the home, this includes the master suites. So, on the sunny days we had (even in December) the house was very hot, and then in the evenings if anyone would be on the deck (whole other issue) you would not be able to dress in the front half of the rooms. We couldn't use the decks or the main staircase leading to the front door because the rental company did not clear out ANY of the ice. There was almost 4 inches of thick ice on stone stairs making it dangerous to use the front entry. We wouldn't have been able to get into the house either, because the supplied entry code (by the rental company) was inaccurate. The owners dedicate a code which is sent via email/3rd party which I found a day and a half later in my spam. Thankfully, the cleaning ladies (who were stuck in the driveway and we had to push out because of all of the aforementioned ice) left the upper door unlocked so we just used that door the entire time. Lastly, the people who stayed in the house before us clearly smoked (all sorts of herbs) in the laundry/mud room (which we playfully referred to as the Weed Room) but stunk up that whole side of the house. The home is beautiful and roomy, we did enjoy it, but it was about 15 minutes from everything Deep Creek has to offer in the winter, so it was a bit off the beaten path for the winter activities we participated in while visiting.

We needed more time!

We absolutely loved this house. It felt like a home with everything you may need. Enough bedrooms and beds with plenty of space to not feel cramped (11 adults and 3 children). We are already looking for dates to stay here next year. The hot tub was the highlight of our stay.
