Secluded Luxury Retreat w/ Views & Firepit

Name: Bracken Lodge | Bedrooms: 5 | Bathrooms: 5.5 | Sleeps: 14 | Access: Lake Access | Pets Not Permitted | MUST BE 24+ YEARS TO RENT | Free WIFI Provided

DESCRIPTION:
Looking for the ultimate private vacation retreat? Travel down the gravel roads and up the mountain and through the trees to arrive at Bracken Lodge. A stunning log home siting on 30 acres of forest, meadow, and amazing open space – with mile-long views across to the peaks of Meadow Mountain. With spruce logs brought from Yellowstone National Park as part of a salvage program, this home is truly one-of-a-kind at Deep Creek Lake. The private and secluded outdoor space marries to a superbly appointed interior for a wonderful place to lay your head, lift your feet, and enjoy the beauty of Deep Creek! Whether you are gathering inside or out there is space and entertainment for everyone. Open living spaces, plush beds, a stunning wood fireplace on the main level, gas fireplace on the lower level, and a loft workspace (perfect for teleworking!) adorn the inside of the home while an expansive deck, jaw-dropping meadow views, and beautifully stamped patio with a hot tub await outside. Not enough for you? Hook up your phone to the Bluetooth speakers to add the perfect music to any situation inside or outside the home. Or travel down to the lake access to launch your kayak, canoe or paddle-board in the serene no-wake cove on Deep Creek Lake. Have a picnic by the water before returning home and watching for wildlife along the way. Just 15 minutes to the main hub of the lake, Bracken Lodge is the perfect place if you are looking for a private retreat still close to all the action of the area!
