Cove Creek Lodge stands as a beacon of modern luxury, redefining the area’s hospitality landscape. The newly renovated boutique hotel combines the charm of nature with the sophistication of upscale comfort. As one of the area’s first boutique hotels, Cove Creek Lodge promises guests an exceptional experience with stunning lakefront views, outdoor amenities, and a fresh ambiance.
The lodge’s amenities offer a perfect blend of relaxation and luxury, from its serene outdoor pool to cozy fireplaces for winter nights. Guests can also unwind at the Black Antler Lounge, the lodge’s newly introduced bar that serves handcrafted cocktails in a stylish, rustic setting. For those with business needs, the hotel features versatile conference spaces, ideal for meetings, seminars, and gatherings.
A major part of Cove Creek Lodge’s success comes from its recent remodel. Formerly the Inn at Deep Creek, the property has undergone significant renovations to introduce a modern aesthetic while preserving the essence of its original charm. The hotel now boasts newly decorated rooms that embrace the natural surroundings, offering guests a sense of comfort and elegance. Each room is equipped with contemporary features, from luxurious king suites to dog-friendly options, ensuring there’s something for everyone.
The thoughtful design approach has infused the property with a fresh yet timeless feel, ensuring that Cove Creek Lodge captures the essence of Deep Creek Lake while offering a sophisticated and comfortable retreat for its guests.
The property’s owner, Mark Hondru, and Jeremy Bittner, Director of Hotels for Railey Vacations, are proud of the transformation. “Our ownership group of partners were excited for the opportunity to reimagine this Deep Creek Lake landmark to a new luxury rustic lodging experience and create a high level of service and amenities to our guests. I have been coming to Deep Creek my whole life like many others and have invested in other properties around the lake because of this passion for the exceptional outdoor lifestyle this area provides my family. Cove Creek Lodge is more than just a hotel to stay at, we have the exclusive on-site guest only bar, lakeside amenities, pool, and really unique style of rooms that create the ultimate vacation vibe,” says Hondru.
Bittner of Railey Vacations added, “We were so thrilled when the ownership group wanted to take on this exciting hotel renovation and rebrand of such an iconic legacy of the lake. The vision of high-end hospitality and upgraded guest experiences in the rooms and services really gave us the opportunity to elevate what our team could offer. Adding this boutique hotel experience to our trusted network of Railey Vacations’ Hotels has been a fun addition working with these guys to create a new first class lodging destination at Deep Creek Lake.”
