Winter Cabin Travel Trends and Destinations

Nestled in Western Maryland's Allegheny highlands, the state’s largest lake transforms with the seasons: from sun-soaked summer lake days to blazing autumn hillsides, from powder-dusted winter slopes to quiet spring mornings when the mountains come alive again.



Cabins.

Here's what you can expect, season by season:

Fall

  • Chase peak foliage by boat, car, or on foot through flame-colored forests.
  • Pick apples at mountain orchards and weave through corn mazes.
  • Hike crisp-air trails with panoramic ridge views.
  • Sink into hot tub steam as autumn evenings turn cool and starlit.

Winter

  • Carve fresh corduroy at Wisp Resort—Maryland's only ski mountain.
  • Glide through silent forests on cross-country skis or snowshoes.
  • Warm your hands by crackling fireplaces after days in the snow.
  • Soak tired muscles in private hot tubs while snowflakes drift down.

Spring

  • Explore empty trails as wildflowers and mountain laurel bloom.
  • Cast for trout in stocked streams and quiet coves.
  • Escape the crowds and claim a peaceful cabin all to yourself.
  • Breathe in fresh mountain air while blossoms and greenery return to life.

Summer

  • Launch your boat, jet ski, or paddleboard straight from lakefront docks.
  • Carve through mountain bike trails at Deep Creek Lake State Park.
  • Challenge the family to mini golf or soar through the treetops on zip lines.
  • Dive into waterfront dining and live music as the sun sets over the water.

Cabins with hot tubs

Soak it all in: steaming water, starlit skies, tired muscles melting away after hiking, skiing, or boating. Cabins with hot tubs are year-round favorites.

Lakefront cabins

Claim your own slice of shoreline with private boat slips, morning swims, sunset kayaking, and coffee on the dock with mountain-framed lake views.
