This community has a great feel about it with paved roads, tennis court, public sewer and convenience to restaurants, cinema, mini mart and DCL State Park.
Balanced neighborhood with vacation rental, secondary and primary homes. Seasonal water views.
Greetings from Deep Creek Lake,
Warm weather has set in (we hope:-)) here in Deep Creek. We’ve had some nice days recently, helping us locals shake off the cabin fever. The local marinas are on the move – putting docks in the water and servicing boats for the 2014 summer season. This photo was taken from my office window on April 2nd. There was actually still some ice on the water in a few places. It also happens to be my husband Bob’s former boat, which is now one of Deep Creek Marina’s service fleet.
One of our favorite local attractions here in Deep Creek is Swallow Falls State Park. This afternoon was gorgeous and in the 60’s so we took the opportunity to slip away from the office and take our 16-month old son Griffin to see the waterfalls for the first time. He was in awe of the gorgeous Muddy Creek Falls and enjoyed walking the pine needle trails (as well as picking & throwing sticks of course!). Remember to bring your walking shoes on your next visit to tour this beautiful park with multiple waterfalls.
A couple events coming up to mention…
The Garrett County Health Fair will be held this Saturday, April 12th at the CARC (Community Aquatic & Recreational Center) on the Garrett College campus. The event will be held from 8:30-1:00 and along with health vendors there will be speaking presentations, free preventive health screenings, information displays and demonstrations and a food distribution by the Maryland Food Bank. Admission is free to the community!
An Easter Egg Hunt is being held Saturday, April 19th from 10:00-12:00 at the Spruce Forest Artisan Village in Grantsville right beside the infamous country Penn Alps restaurant. Registration is at 10:00 and the egg hunt begins at 10:30. There are three age categories with over 1000 filled eggs to find. This is also a free event!
Below are statistics from our MLS system from the activity that took place in our market in March 2014. The indicators are looking up, setting the stage for a great year in real estate.
We have been busy working with owners and getting their homes on the market for the summer season. The link below will take you to 6 of our new listings, ranging from a cozy log home in the woods, a lake access home with a dock slip, a beautiful waterfront contemporary home to a slope front & water view lodge that will woo you! Be sure to click through the photos and visual tours of each and if you’d like to arrange a time to preview any homes now is a good time to do it. http://mrislistings.mris.com/DE.asp?ID=57020431609
Have a delightful weekend and we look forward to seeing you in the mountains!
Warm regards,
Betsy Spiker Holcomb

Greetings from Deep Creek Lake-April Activities-Real Estate. Well, I think the East Coast is well overdue for some beautiful, warm weather but if you are planning to visit the area this weekend keep in mind that Snow Tubing at Wisp Resort is still an option. Just one layer of clothing might even keep you warm if the forecast doesn’t change between now and then! These are some other activities available for you and your family to enjoy at Wisp this April:
Saturdays and Sundays Only 4/5/14 – 4/27/14 Hours 10:00 am-4:00 pm

The market is picking up speed and there are still some true bargains out there, depending on the segment of the market you are looking of course. To use the word “deals” or “bargains” sounds so cliché but those are the simplest, most descriptive words that come to mind when I see some of the prices on these properties.
We had a $200K price reduction on one of our lakefront homes last week! This home sits on an incredible lot on a private part of the lake (North Glade Cove) with extraordinary decking, an outdoor grilling kitchen and a lower level entertainment room.
We also just listed an incredible lodge-style waterfront gem and a lake access home site with a dock slip.

Greetings from Deep Creek Lake-Fresh Snow-HART Animal Center. Happy Monday! We woke up to about 4-6” of fresh snow this morning. Just enough to freshen up the slopes and remind us that we still have another few weeks of ole man winter. March 30th is the last day for skiing/boarding this 13/14 season. For some enthusiasts, early spring is their favorite time of the winter season; the lines are short and the conditions are still good, plus there’s a chance you could be skiing in a lot less clothing!
I know one doggie who turns 6 tomorrow that will certainly miss the snow:). Mali is such a winter dog!
All this dog talk leads me to some great local news… The Bredel Veterinary Clinic at the Hart Animal Center is now open. They are located on Bumble Bee Road at Deep Creek Lake near Garrett College. They are a full-service clinic, offering surgeries, preventive care, “Healthy Start” vaccinations and annual boosters, puppy and kitten packages, annual physical exams, dental care, and treatment of emergencies during clinic hours. Their other bit of news, which I am pretty excited about, is their Bed ‘n Bark Inn has just opened. Parents can travel “pet less” all the while knowing that their furry loved ones are in good hands. They have 25 luxury dog suites, Doggie Doors leading to private patios, Doggie-cams available in several suites, Two to three walk and exercise periods per day, Spacious Cat Condos with three levels, Individual exhaust systems in each Cat Condo, Maid service twice a day, Convenient check-in/check-out hours and Full grooming services available in their salon. 301-387-7729
There are a couple events coming up that you may want to put on your calendar. This is the first year for the Outdoor Show. The Job Fair takes place every year around this time and is a good place for job seekers to talk with local businesses who are hiring both full-time and part-time. I have several clients whose children have come to work at Deep Creek for the summer. Not a bad gig, working at a destination with warm days and cool nights!
