Will O’ the Wisp


Will O’ the Wisp resort has been a long-standing tradition for vacationers to the Deep Creek area. Opening in 1943 as 23 rustic lakefront cabins, the name Will O’ the Wisp comes from the term describing a mysterious light seen over bayous in the south. Over the years, the property has changed and grown, the 47 prestige condominium structure that stands now was built in 1975, replacing a ten-room motel that had originally been in its place. Today these prestige condominiums have lots to offer travelers visiting the area. No need to worry about finding friends to share a vacation home with – simply select the type of lodging you prefer and book your trip to Deep Creek! Don’t worry about bringing all your supplies or about housekeeping or preparing food (although you can have a kitchen if you wish). There is no danger of your driveway being blocked by snow, and with on-site amenities, you have plenty to do during rainy weather.

We offer a wide selection of comfortable lodging ranging from simple bedroom-bath and motel rooms to 3-bedroom, 3-bath kitchen suites. Most condominium suites have fireplaces; all have balconies overlooking Deep Creek Lake at its widest point.

You will be just steps away from various area attractions including a movie theater, restaurants, and shops. Spend the day on your feet with several attractions nearby, or hop in your car and enjoy the countryside drives to and from many other sites to see!

Deep Creek offers a wide variety of recreational activities, such as hiking, bike riding, horseback riding, canoeing, fishing, skiing, and more. Or enjoy the indoors with the heated pool, whirlpool tubs, sauna, game room, and exercise room. Outdoors, Will O the Wisp Resort has a sandy beach and protected swimming area, as well as boat docks. We are centrally located to shops, theatres and other diversions. On-site Dining is available at Ace’s Run!
