About this place
Name: Wispful Thinking | Bedrooms: 5 | Bathrooms: 5 | Sleeps: 14 | Access: Golf Area | Dogs Welcome (Max. 2) | MUST BE 24+ YEARS TO RENT | Free WIFI Provided
The space
DESCRIPTION:
Wispful Thinking is a warm and welcoming wood-crafted retreat that captures the essence of mountain living with a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. From the moment you walk in, the rich textures and natural finishes create an atmosphere that feels both elegant and cozy, inviting you to slow down and savor every moment. The heart of the home is its beautifully designed kitchen, where high-end finishes and an open layout make it ideal for cooking, gathering, and sharing meals with family and friends. Step outside to discover the ultimate outdoor oasis: a private hot tub for soothing soaks under the stars and a fire pit that sets the stage for laughter and late-night conversations. The spacious deck offers serene views of the rolling golf course, making it the perfect spot for morning coffee or sunset cocktails. And when adventure calls, you’re just 2.5 miles from Wisp Resort, where year-round activities—from skiing and snowboarding to mountain biking and ziplining—await. Whether you’re curled up by the fireplace, enjoying a leisurely dinner, or unwinding in the fresh mountain air, Wispful Thinking is more than a vacation rental—it’s a place to reconnect, recharge, and create lasting memories in the heart of Deep Creek.
