Peaceful Dog Friendly Escape w/ Dock & Fire Pit
Name: Sunlit Serenity | Bedrooms: 4 | Bathrooms: 3 | Sleeps: 10 | Access: Lake Access | Dogs Welcome: Max: 2 | MUST BE 24+ YEARS TO RENT | Free WIFI Provided
Breathtaking cathedral ceilings and towering timbers combine to create Sunlit Serenity!
DESCRIPTION:
Let the sunlight streaming in through the trees welcome you to your Deep Creek Lake vacation at Sunlit Serenity! This little chalet is perfect for a private family reunion or an intimate gathering among friends. Located close to quiet Carmel Cove, this home is an easy walk away from the home’s community dock slip and lake access point, yet offers the tranquility of a private wooded setting. This home provides plenty of space for outdoor pursuits with a shaded lot for the kids to run around, as well as a fire pit for s’mores, campfire songs, and time spent together with those you love most. Any time you want, walk down to the lake by way of a community foot path to enjoy the serenity of Deep Creek Lake or hop in the car to hit up area restaurants and family-favorite activities. Book your stay today!
ACCESS DETAILS:
Parking for community dock is located on Carmel Cove Drive. Please note that docks are only guaranteed from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
Please Note: To access this home’s dock, you must pass under the State Park Bridge, which, due to height restrictions, is considered impassible by any vessel with a tower or Bimini top. Access with your own vessel is at your own risk; pontoon boats are not recommended. Due to this restriction, please note marinas in the area will not rent boats to this address as all of their vessels have a tower or Bimini top.
