The Lake: Winter

     This county is full of things that one visiting would enjoy. From the ages of 1 to 100, those who visit once are often coming back for more. The winter is no different from any season in this matter. With a ski resort at our back door and a winter wonderland to supply it with ample amounts of snow, the possibilities are almost endless. Some even say that this area looks like it came straight out of a Christmas card.
     Outdoor winter activities are a big part of the culture in this county. Take a ski lesson at The Wisp for a fun filled day of something new. Or, go snowshoeing at one of the many state parks. There are many places to try cross-country skiing, like Herrington Manor, and learn to snowmobile, like the wisp. If you love fishing, don’t let the weather fool you. You can go ice fishing on the lake! There isn’t a day that passes without an ice-fishing hut on the lake when the ice is safe. There are also horse drawn sleigh rides at Pleasant Valley if you just want to relax outdoors. No matter the season, you will never be bored.
     If you are an indoor type, never fear! Curl up in front of one of the fireplaces at the inn. Watch a movie from the extensive collection, or play a board game in the library. There is also a movie theatre just a few minutes away if you feel like catching a new flick. No matter your taste in activity, you will find something to do during a winter in Garrett County.

First Impressions

     Hello to everyone out there! This is an exciting new step for everyone here at the Lake Pointe Inn. About a week ago I was approached to possibly start doing this blog for a local bed and breakfast where I live. I did some research and found that this was no ordinary inn, but what appeared to be a relaxing getaway for all occasions. Upon meeting the owner and receiving a tour, everything I had found on the website proved to be true. The accommodations are phenomenal and you really feel welcome from the moment you walk in the door.That being said, this is where the, for lack of a better term, bragging, will end.

    We will be telling everyone out there about things to do in the area, special events, what activities we offer here at the inn, and every so often, a special recipe from our own kitchens. So for those looking for a place to stay, look no further! Being located in the only four season resort area in Maryland has its perks! And, to those of you looking for things to do in this wonderful area that I am lucky enough to call home, hopefully anything and everything you find here will be most helpful! We look forward to meeting you!
