Discover the nostalgic magic of Oar House, a lakefront gem located in Oakland, Maryland. Step back in time at this historic cabin, which holds the unique honor of being the very first A-frame home ever built on Deep Creek Lake. Bursting with classic charm and thoughtfully updated with modern comforts, this retreat offers a seamless blend of luxury and vintage appeal, situated on a quiet dead-end street for the perfect mix of privacy and convenience.
The home features a spacious layout with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, comfortably accommodating up to 10 guests. Sleeping arrangements include 1 king bed, 1 queen bed, and 6 twin beds. Families will especially love the upstairs loft with its charming sailboat theme, providing a dedicated space for up to six children. For additional privacy, a separate guest house is available, featuring a private TV lounge and a toy-stocked play area.
Inside, the interior is beautifully maintained with warm mountain aesthetics, characterized by rich woods, bear motifs, and lakeside touches. Guests can enjoy a chef's kitchen, a cozy living room filled with puzzles and games, and a playful "Eye Spy" oar game hidden throughout the rooms.
Outdoor living is where the real magic happens. The property is equipped with an expansive deck, a covered hot tub for any weather, and a far infrared heated sauna with a nearby outdoor shower. For those who love to cook and gather, there is an outdoor pizza oven, smoker grill, and bar cart. Relaxation continues at the lakeside fire pit and the private dock with two slips, where guests have access to one tandem kayak and one tandem canoe. Children will enjoy the dedicated entertainment shed featuring a cozy reading nook and games, as well as cornhole boards.
Located in the heart of the Deep Creek Lake area, you are minutes away from top attractions. Explore the nearby Swallow Falls State Park and its tall waterfalls, or visit Wisp Resort for skiing, snowboarding, and mountain biking. The area is rich with breweries, artisanal shops like Simon Pearce Glassblowing, and family favorites like the Lakeside Creamery and the Discovery Center at Deep Creek State Park.
