Carmel Cove

"Location is about 10 minutes from shopping and activities in Deep Creek. Tennis court on premises. Lake is about a 0.5 mile walk. While we were there, grass was not maintained and it was difficult to enjoy the hot tub and bonfire area. When it rained, there was a sewage smell in the basement and foyer area. Good for large groups that want their own room, but that is about it. The common areas and kitchen is smaller than it appears in the pictures. I personally wouldn't recommend it or go back."

"Loved it! We were there a few years ago when it was a B&B and it still has the same charm. Place is huge . We went with 8 other couples and never left the entire weekend. Great fire pit , hot tub and calm and relaxing living room! The only thing I would change is some new mattresses and toilets (they are very low to the ground). We also loved the commercial kitchen and ice maker. Fun,peaceful weekend was had by all!"

"We stayed here for a long summer weekend many years ago and had a wonderful time. Most of the other guests were 40-somethings like us and we all clicked very well and had delightful evenings playing pool and enjoying the perpetually stocked beer and wine fridge. We just stayed for a long winter weekend and had a different but no less delightful time. Most of the other guests were in their 20s this time. All were very friendly, but we had the recreation room to ourselves most evenings, which was fun. The innkeeper Mary is awesome, as were all of the staff that we encountered. Very attentive. They upgraded the complementary beverage selection to include craft beer, in addition to mass-produced beer, red wine, white wine, and delicious port that is added in the evening. The breakfasts are gourmet and are out of this world. The entire facility is amazingly well maintained and comfortable, and the history of the building and grounds is very interesting. They provide all sorts of recreational equipment, from boats in the warm weather, to cross country skis and snow shoes for winter. We had a fantastic time snow shoeing. Thanks to Mary for an amazing 4 days, we can't wait to return!"

"This was an excellent bed and breakfast which had additional amenities that made the stay feel like home. It is close to the state parks if you like hiking and walking distance to a quiet dock to put into the Deep Creek Lake. Smores are served every night at the fire pit."

"We are repeat visitors and have spent several long weekends there over the last couple of years. We have met three different innkeepers-only one I wasn't crazy about. We have found the service to be of a consistent high quality. I asked for a lot of extras; towels etc. and was always satisfied. Our room was comfortable,we felt free to spend time in the common areas - breakfast was always great. I really loved being able to wander in and have a glass of wine anytime I wanted. We have stayed in other places in the Deep Creek area but now just at Carmel Cove. Summer is especially nice because we can take the boats out and swim from the dock. Deep Creek was always a vacation destination for my family growing up and I am pleased that I can keep visiting and enjoying it. I have met the owner and her family and I think it's a nice sincere family business. I recommend it."
