>Maryland's first private residence club set for July launch

>

The Ridge Run at Wisp, which is described as Maryland’s first private residence club, is gearing up for its launch in July.

It is situated on Wisp Resort, by Deep Creek Lake in Western Maryland, a popular four-season family vacation destination for DC and Pittsburgh residents, and will feature four-bedroom ski-in/ski-out townhomes located between two ski runs.

The fractional ownership mountain homes have large living areas, gourmet kitchens, fireplaces, state of the art electronics and furnished outdoor living spaces with great views. Owners at Ridge Run will have access to a new Hale Irwin Signature golf course, and the nearby private Lodestone Golf Club has been voted Golfweek’s number two course in Maryland.

Owners all get membership of Wisp Resort’s private Lakeside Club at Deep Creek Lake with private docks and boat club.

Karen Myers offers Wisp Resort & Lodestone Update @ Railey Realty


Karen Myers was one of our guests at this week’s Railey Realty sales meeting. I worked with Karen when I first got into the real estate business in 2000. She is a WEALTH of information and one of the most creative entrepreneurs that I have met. In case you did not know, she is one of the owners of Wisp Ski & Golf Resort, Mountaineer Log & Siding, and is a partner in DC Development, which is developing Marsh Mountain & the Lodestone Golf Course.

She shared a multitude of information with us, and here are some bullet points:

  • Wisp Ski Resort was profitable in July & August of 2009 – it’s very difficult for a ski season to remain profitable in the summer months. She also mentioned that Wisp is the 6th largest employer in all of Garrett County, with approx. 125 full time employees. During the winter months, that number swells to a staggering 750 employees!
  • The Lakeside Club is operational on Deep Creek Drive. ‘Re-callable’ memberships are available for $37,500. This basically gets you a ‘country club style’ setting on the lake, offering lake access, kids play area, showers & mens/womens locker rooms, swimming, dining & drinks.
  • The Lodestone golf course will be opening in June. All 18 holes will be playable. Hale Irwin will be here July 10, 2010, for a sort of grand opening. The course is intended to be private, but they are offering ‘trial use’ memberships starting at $2,000 for the season. (Check with them for specific rates/packages). She also mentioned that the large amount of snow that we got this year helped the golf course grass to grow in much better than they expected.
  • Customers interested in real estate at Wisp Resort, or vacation rental guests are permitted to play the course for $125, and Wisp Golf Club members are offered a chance to play M-Th for $100.
  • Plans still exist for a ‘Mountain Top Village’ surrounding the ASCI whitewater course on top of Marsh Mountain. The plan is to have commercial shops and more dining options for vacationers, locals and skiers.
  • She also mentioned an exciting new addition to the Wisp Outdoor Center, but swore me to secrecy – stay tuned, it sounds exciting!

Some interesting trivia that she shared with us: DC Development has developed a total of 540 lots since 1994. Exactly 1/3 of those are built on. Imagine the total tax base that number has added to the county coffers?

Lakeside Club – Deep Creek Lake – Wisp on the water


I had lunch at the Lakeside Club at the end of last summer amd it was awesome. The food was great, the atmosphere was very upscale and I believe it is the home of Deep Creek’s 2nd parking garage (the other being at Will o the Wisp). Great water & ski slope views and lakefront, as well. Check with Wisp Resort for membership info:

From the website:

Enjoy the freedom and activity of the waterfront lifestyle-even if you don’t own a home on the shores of the lake. Opt for a high mountain view homesite, and you can still escape to a private waterfront getaway with a membership to the Lakeside Club, where you and your family can revel in all the fun of lakeside living. Dining and locker rooms will compliment a separate activities center, and you’ll find family activities, cabana, kayaks and other warm weather pleasures. Beautiful areas are designed for outdoor dining and parties, an infinity edge swimming pool, water trampoline and slide, plus you’ll access preferred member privileges at local businesses and marinas.

Welcome to The Lakeside Club at Wisp Resort.
