Vacationing at Garrett County & Deep Creek Lake
Perhaps the most thriving industry at Deep Creek Lake is the vacation rental industry. Each year, hundreds of thousands of people migrate from all over the country to spend some time at Deep Creek Lake & Garrett County, Maryland. Our cooler mountain temperatures offer a respite from the sweltering heat & humidity of nearby cities and towns - we are about 10-15 degrees cooler on average than Baltimore, Washington DC and Pittsburgh. Obvious destinations are Wisp Ski & Golf Resort and the year-round activities offered on the shores of Deep Creek Lake. Other reasons include the vast amount of fresh & clean mountain Maryland air; the friendly native population; the vast tracts of state land like Garrett & Potomac State Forest, New Germany and Deep Creek Lake State Park; the amazing natural wonders of Swallow Falls & Muddy Creek Falls (Maryland’s largest waterfall); the whitewater rapids of the Youghiogheny & Savage rivers; the world-class trout fishing streams; the iconic Casselman & the nearby genesis of the Potomac river; the rich history of downtown Oakland & Granstville; the native farm land and Amish culture; and perhaps the most overlooked reason of all: the lush green atmosphere that is always surrounding you here in Garrett County. No matter where you go, you’ll AWLAYS see a tree, active farmland, rolling Appalachians mountains or a babbling brook descending from the higher elevations. Our area is truly unique because you can find virtually any one of these amazing features within a short walk or drive, or even out your window! God spent a little more time crafting the natural beauty of Garrett County - you have to see it for yourself.

Vacation rental agencies voice opposition to tax increase
OAKLAND — Garrett County Administrator Monty Pagenhardt said he was surprised by the amount of opposition Tuesday from local rental housing representatives to the county commissioners’ request to be able to increase the hotel rental tax from 5 percent to 8 percent.
Sen. George Edwards and Delegate Wendell Beitzel attended Tuesday’s public meeting to hear the commissioners’ wish list for the 2010 General Assembly and to see if they could help those desires become political reality. Should such legislation become law, it would enable, but not require a tax increase.
At the current rate of 5 percent, the tax brings $1.5 million into the county, according to Wendy Yoder, director of finance. “Each percentage increase above that will generate another $300,000,” Yoder said. She based that estimate on existing rental activity.
That revenue, according to Commissioner Fred Holliday, can be used for two purposes, for economic development or the funding of the Garrett County Chamber of Commerce.
Nancy Railey of Railey Mountain Lake Vacations used an extensive and detailed presentation to oppose a hike in the tax.
Railey said rental fees for people visiting Deep Creek Lake have been negotiated to bargain basement prices. “I have never before seen this,” she said. “Tourists are responding to these price cuts and will travel more in 2010 than in 2009. However, they will demand rate reductions of 1.8 percent greater than the reductions in 2009, continuing the decline for another year.”
Railey said the number of reserved nights at her company have declined below 2002 levels and the fact that her market share (45 to 50 percent) has held steady reflects that other hosts have experienced the same drop-off.
Railey said the visitors will come, but when they have to spend a dollar more because of a tax hike it will be a dollar that is not spent on local goods and services.
Pagenhardt said the potential for a tax hike was not news to the local rental moguls.
“This legislation was introduced in the 2009 General Assembly. In fact, they knew that if the bill passed it would increase the tax to 6 percent this past July 1 and many agencies had already booked rentals based upon that amount.”
The bill, however, did not pass, because of what Beitzel called a last-minute administrative foul-up in Annapolis.
Others opposed a hotel rental tax boost.
Rob Michael, chairman of the board for the chamber of commerce, said he misses the golden days when Deep Creek Lake was visited by families with small children. He said those visitors can no longer afford a lakeside vacation. “Have we priced ourselves out?” he asked.
Michael referenced Big Bear Lake in neighboring Preston County, W.Va., as a place that still offers such family trips. “We don’t see that dynamic any more,” he said. “Be careful. Increasing the tax even 1 percent is a detriment. Word is out. A vacation in Garrett County is getting to be expensive.”
Ruth Seib of Coldwell Banker said she is not sure that raising the tax would bring additional revenue because of a combination of fewer visitors and declining rates.
Bill Weissgerber of Railey Realty asked that the $300,000 that would be generated by a 1 percent increase in the tax be raised by resurrecting a tax on beer in the county.
Karen Myers, owner of The Wisp/D.C. Developers, cautioned the commissioners to be very careful in considering an increase in the tax. “Don’t kill the goose that laid the golden egg,” she said.
Edwards and Beitzel said they would once again introduce the enabling legislation if it is the desire of the commissioners.

Maryland weighs revising park pet policy
CUMBERLAND — Going to the park is a popular group activity, and visitors to Maryland’s state parks may soon be able to bring even more of their friends along.
The Maryland Park Service has begun taking public comments on a proposed plan to revise its pet policy and expand pet access in state parks.
According to the Maryland Park Service, the proposal was developed based on comments from park staff and visitors over the years.
Under the proposal, pet prohibitions in many of the parks throughout the state will be reduced. Parks that will allow pets greater access include Deep Creek Lake, New Germany State Park and Dan’s Mountain.
In particular, New Germany had previously prohibited pets entirely. Under the current proposal pets would be allowed year-round on trails and in the Pine Camp loop. Between Labor Day and Memorial Day weekend, pets will be allowed in the day-use area and lake.
Parks that will not be affected by the proposal include Big Run, Herrington Manor, Rocky Gap, Swallow Falls and Youghigheny Wild River. The policy already allows for pet access in these parks.
“We’re going to compromise with various opinions,” said Lt. Col. Chris Bushman, deputy superintendent of the Maryland Park Service. Bushman said that the Maryland Park Service has received comments with pro-pet and anti-pet views and intends to use them to fine-tune the proposal and address the unique nature of each park.
Park managers will still be able to prohibit pets from certain facilities in areas where they would otherwise be allowed, such as visitor centers and playgrounds. The policy will not affect service animals, which will still be allowed in all areas of the park open to their owners.
Bushman emphasized that the existing policies requiring pet owners to keep their pets on leashes and clean up after their pets will not change. “The park rangers and Natural Resources Police are on-site at these parks in the developed areas,” said Bushman. “We will not allow people to break those rules.“
After comments from the public and other parties have been reviewed and any necessary changes made, the new policy will be put into effect in early 2010.
Comments on the pet policy may be submitted online at http://dnrweb.dnr.state.md.us/publiclands/petpolicy/comment.asp and through mail at Pet Policy Comments, Maryland Park Service, 580 Taylor Ave., Annapolis, MD 21401. Comments will be accepted until Nov. 30.
