There are vacation homes that simply give you a place to stay, and then there are homes that become part of your family’s favorite memories. Mom’s Maine Lakehouse is the latter.
We’re excited to welcome this beautiful lakefront retreat to the Red Barn Vacations collection. Tucked along Lakeshore Drive at Deep Creek Lake, Mom’s Maine Lakehouse combines rustic mountain character with the comforts families want for a relaxing lake vacation.
With 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, 1 half bath and accommodations for up to 10 guests, it’s a wonderful choice for families and friends who want to spend their vacation together while enjoying direct access to Deep Creek Lake.
A True Deep Creek Lakefront Experience
One of the best things about staying at Mom’s Maine Lakehouse is having the lake right outside your door.
Start the morning with coffee surrounded by the trees, head down to the water for a day of kayaking or boating, and return in the evening to relax by the fire. The home’s private dock and complimentary kayaks make it easy to enjoy the reason you came to Deep Creek in the first place—the lake.

A Lake House Made for Gathering
Mom’s Maine Lakehouse has the warm, relaxed character you’d hope to find in a true family lake home.
Wood ceilings, natural finishes and a dramatic stone fireplace give the main living area plenty of mountain-lake charm. Large windows and doors bring the outdoors in, while the open gathering spaces make it easy for everyone to spend time together.

Gather around the table for a family dinner, settle in beside the wood-burning fireplace after a day outdoors, or simply enjoy an unhurried evening together overlooking the woods and lake.
Relax in the Hot Tub
After hiking, skiing, boating or exploring Deep Creek Lake, there’s nothing better than returning home and slipping into the hot tub.
The covered setting makes this an inviting place to relax throughout the year—whether you’re enjoying a cool summer evening or warming up after a winter day at Wisp.

Evenings Around the Fire Pit
Some of the best Deep Creek memories happen after the day’s adventures are over.
Mom’s Maine Lakehouse has an inviting outdoor fire pit area surrounded by Adirondack chairs, creating the perfect spot for roasting marshmallows, telling stories and spending one more hour together beneath the trees.
