Where Is It
An unexpected happy result of an Army Corps of Engineers hydroelectric project, Deep Creek Lake is the biggest freshwater lake in Maryland and is located in the Appalachian mountain range, west of the Allegheny Front on the plateau Tablelands (Allegheny Highlands) in Garrett County, Western Maryland. Around the lake are the towns of McHenry, Grantsville, Friendsville, and Accident. Attractions dot the area, such as water sports activities, including the area’s famed white water rapids (natural and constructed), and nature appreciation with access to big national parks with outdoor activity areas. Thank you, hardworking Army guys!
How To Get There
So you want to road trip to Deep Creek Lake? Set that car GPS or use Google Maps on and start driving from three possible starting points: Pittsburgh, Baltimore, MD., or Washington, D.C. Coming over from Baltimore or Washington, D.C., take I-70 West to I-68 West, then exit at 14A (Route 219 South). From Pittsburgh, PA., take the I-79 South to I-68 East, and exit at Friendsville onto Route 42 South. From Route 42, it merges into Route 219 South, leading you into Deep Creek Lake. Feel the traveler’s charm of Maryland, see you there on your dream destination.
Price Matters
How much can you earn if you venture into a rental in Deep Creek? As of February 2025, the average price for homes in Deep Creek Lake, Maryland, is $349,900. A quick search on the Airbnb site reveals that a nightly rate for 2 adults ranges from $186-$220 to $367 for the first six listings with 4.9 or Superhost ratings. For more posh places with 5 bedrooms, the nightly rate is $850 to $2,056. Quick math on a conservative note, 50% occupancy rate or 15 days multiplied by $186 gives you monthly gross earnings of $2,790.

These figures give you a ballpark estimate of the golden opps awaiting future hosts. What are you waiting for? Deep Creek Lake water’s fine, jump right in!
Dear friends, there are a lot of cliche Airbnb locations and oversaturation can happen, so we dare our supporters to step off the STR bandwagon areas and check out Maryland, especially Deep Creek Lake.
