Carmel Cove Inn
Bed and Breakfast

Carmel Cove Bed and Breakfast is part of a beautiful 53-acre community along the shores of Deep Creek Lake in Maryland.

The building is the former monastery of the Discalced Carmelite Fathers, who chose the site for its natural beauty and tranquility. The retreat house has been completely renovated to become the lovely country inn of today.

Carmel Cove's accommodations are beautifully appointed with attention to comfort and detail. Each guestroom has robes, phone, television with DVD player, and a private bathroom with a modern shower. Many rooms have special features such as fireplaces, Jacuzzis, private decks, and private breakfast room service. All rooms offer tranquil views of the garden or woods.

At the Carmel Cove, you can sip a cooling libation or soak in the sun on the deck. Luxuriate in the hot tub under the stars. Watch a movie, snuggle by the fireplace, or shoot a game of billiards in the Inn's common room -- the former chapel of the monastery.

In the mornings, linger over a hot cup of coffee at your own windowside table, or lounge in your guest room awaiting your gourmet room service breakfast. Enjoy such specialties as Carmel Cove's own Belgian waffles smothered with fresh strawberries, cheesy sausage mushroom quiche, fresh fruit salad, or perhaps a stack of pancakes hot off the griddle served with local pure Maryland maple syrup.

"Lovely... elegant... a cozy place where I found the morning newspaper before breakfast and after dinner chocolates and sherry in the evening." - James Yenckel, The Washington Post

Just steps down a wooded walking trail lies the Inn's peaceful cove of scenic Deep Creek Lake and the alpine beauty of this fun-filled resort community. Fish from the Inn's shore, or take the canoe for a paddle across the cove to the beautiful sand swimming beaches of Deep Creek Lake State Park. The state park also offers beautiful picnic areas, hiking trails, a public boat launch, snowmobile and cross-country ski trails, hunting, and a world of other activities... all steps from the Inn.

Although tucked away on its own wooded two acres, the bed and breakfast is in the heart of all Deep Creek Lake activities. Nearby are all Deep Creek restaurants, nightlife, lake competitions, and festivals. A short drive down the shoreline takes you to the renowned Wisp Ski Area and its 23 trails with nine lifts.
