The slopes are okay...the amount of people is pretty high so it's hard for new skiers. The bunny slopes are also hard for new skiers to learn on

We absolutely love the Wisp! There are so many activities to check out no matter what season. In the winter we love to Ski and in the summer we love hiking the mountain. It’s also very kid friendly with their mountain playground.

I have always been treated very warmly when I visit Wisp. The lift lines are very reasonable even on busy days. Excellent facilities throughout. Emilia and Sven are great. Pet friendly, too! I highly recommend buying passes. .

Great local skiing!!

They have had good snow all winter for skiing. They have received some natural snow and they have been able to make significant snow even after all of these warm spells we have had.

We definitely enjoy the slopes there.

All the employees are helpful and friendly too. Ken always greets you when you arrive. The grill staff are super helpful. Especially when you need to find something in lost and found.

We had a really great experience here. I would rate it a 4.5 if I could. The facilities were better than acceptable, just starting to show a little wear. The pet fee was unheard of, we paid $50 for a pet room - the best I've ever encountered at any hotel. The pool and hot tub were great after a day of skiing. The resort had everything you need for hear, and the staff was helpful in getting my kids set up to go out. The food quality was the only negative we experienced. It just doesn't taste all that good, and it's resort prices. The hamburgers and ham and cheese sandwich just were ok.
So, overall, we had a great experience and will definitely go back.

My wife and I had a lot of fun here. We did the breakfast club escape room. It was the right mix of challenge and fun. Creed the Game Master was excellent. We will definitely go there again.

If I can give them 6 stat I would on the sole factor that they ate doggy friendly. What an amazing experience. So much to do even in the summer time. We will definitely come back for winter

We spent a weekend with a family reunion and had a lot of fun. Lots to do there and in the area. The mountain coaster was the big attraction to most of my wife's side of the family. The staff were very nice and helpful. We may return next year.

Nice place with lots of activities. They have an article white water rafting area which looks decent and a lot safer than the real thing. Good for first timers.

Plus few other activities. Archery, two escape rooms, a coaster, etc.

It's not Europe but it's close to home and decent enough for a weekend getaway. It is overpriced for what it is and what or offers. The golf courses are ok as well but do not support the prices they are asking either. The rest of this review was edited and has since been remedied by the resort.

And yes thank you, all in all it was a good anniversary weekend trip, albeit to short.

I've added a star (4) for the quick response of the public affairs individual who responded to my initial review and the overall attitude of all staff encountered.

Nice downhill bike park. Very friendly. Staff. Very clean. White water rafting on top of. A mountain looks very fun. Mountain coaster. Disc golf.what more do you need.

We actually golfer at the wisp course and it was a great experience. Friendly people, very attentive staff, and the course was nice and fairly well kept also. Would definitely play here again.

The resort itself was very clean and beautiful, but the only part about it was the breakfast! It was sent up like a regular continental breakfast was but there was barely anything, some hard bagels and juice basically, so we grabbed someone and sat at a nearby table only to be told we would be charged $8 each for bread and drinks! If we would’ve known we definitely wouldn’t have spent our money on what looked like a poor excuse for a continental breakfast :(

An independent ski area with a good assortment of trails. The North Camp area has nice wide trails, more like the Rockies than New England or the Mid-Atlantic. Grooming, instructions and ski patrol are all very good. The cafeteria and adjacent restaurant (DC's) both match what you'd see at resorts from the major US ski companies but less expensive. Very friendly staff and extremely courteous locals.

It's well worth the trip from Pittsburgh, DC, Baltimore, or even Ohio.

I love Wisp! It is the best ski resort in the area! Though you generally ski on manufactured snow it's better than nothing. They have a wide variety of ski runs and the resort is quite large. The rental process is easy and relatively fast. I keep coming back year after year!

Nice enough. Bring a large amount of money, it's very pricey ($2.78 for a 20 Oz coke in the cafeteria, $9 for a hamburger?). Couldn't handle the massive influx of visitors today, or handle the accident in the parking lot yesterday with creating a detour. No ski poles for the 1300-to-2100 group were available. Staff was mostly young, under 20 y/o, but courteous.

Wisp is a perfect place to bring the family. If you are looking for great skiing, and snow coverage while you ski this is the place for you. I do recommend that you go to the DC restaurant, if you a cozy dining experience rather than trying to find a place to sit in the cafeteria. For maybe two dollars more you get the nice food and feel of a restaurant. Also the DC restaurant is casual, so you can walk in with ski gear on and have no issue. Also Wisp is way cheaper, and bigger than whitetail. I highly recommend this resort.

From the Pittsburgh area we have several options within a two hour drive, Wisp is by far the best value. The resort amenities may be a bit more limited but there are many options around Deep Creek Lake that more than make up for it. The hotel is nice, but a bit dated. They said, there seem to be renovations ongoing. Wisp is definitely our go-to place for a skiing day trip.

Prices weren't as high as some places I've been to closer to DC. The area is decent with plenty to do for a longer stay. There are plenty of slopes to explore, general east coast fare. Lots of flat areas, which can be trouble for snowboarders. The lines at the lifts were busy for some of them, but again not as bad as places closer to DC. Snow was also a lot better than what you get closer to DC. It was pretty good for a two day trip, and I'll probably return in a future season.

Good slopes for all level snow boarders and skiers. Easy access to and from surrounding lodging. Definitely need a 4 wheel drive car to get around in the winter time. We came for a long weekend and it snowed about a foot. Lots of grocery stores, liquor stores, restaurants and gas stations in the nearby town. Would recommend for families. Prices go up during premium periods like Saturday’s and holiday weekends. Rentals available. Would recommend.

This was my first ski trip, and staying at this resort helped make that trip one of the best vacations I've ever had. The rooms, shops, and restaurants were all great, and of course skiing itself was a blast. Was fun to watch the races down the slopes from my room in the mornings. Everyone was friendly and helpful and made my stay stress-free and successful. Can't wait to go back.

Good slopes for beginners and ski school; lot of families with young kids. Kind of a steep lift ticket price for such few lifts/trails, but I like that it's easy to get to (all highway driving), has a lot of gentle slopes for the wife, and the blues/blacks tend to be pretty empty. good number of ski-in/ski-out rentals available all throughout the resort as well. food here is not terrible but about what you would expect.

Even skiing in warm temperatures, the slopes were good! Got a little icy the second day but only because it was in the 60s the first day and in the teens the second day. You can't beat mother nature, but they did a great job of making my experience enjoyable even when mother nature tried to ruin it. GREAT MOUNTAIN RESORT!!!

This place is not only beautiful but welcoming. I am a new skier who took up skiing to try and overcome some anxieties and learn to overcome and control panic attacks. I took lessons from a dear woman named Linda. Linda told me that she has been skiing here for over 50 years. Linda was patient and kind. I did not tell her about the panic attacks and I did not tell her about the anxieties. So her patience and her kindness was genuine. I already loved this place but she made me love it more.

I just came to the resort to ski for the day. It was a Monday, so I got a discounted lift ticket and a clinic tailored to my skill level, which was awesome! So far the resort has been great to me

Love wisp resort, a great mid-Atlantic East Coast ski resort! It's expensive,but no worse than most places. We love it, and the lake adds wonderful romance and ambiance. The slopes are good, and a couple are great. It's a great resort to learn on, with a great range of slopes and amenities. We love DCL and we love the Wisp! Top tip: but your season passes in June! The prices are amazing but go up QUICK!

I'm basing this review off of a terrible experience with reservations. Short version: I was quoted one price and charged another, then told "Sorry, we don't issue refunds." I've sent an email to their info@ address, so I'll update this review (or leave it with more detail) based upon the resolution.

Edit: The issues I had were with a third-party reservation company. As soon as I reached out to Wisp by email, I received a call within 10 minutes to let me know they were working on fixing the mistake. An hour later, I got a second call verifying that it was taken care of. Both employees were very friendly and helpful. Edited from 1 to 5 based on the customer service response. Hopefully everything goes smoothly when I check in!

This was our second visit. We took ski and snowboarding lessons. The instructor was great with my son and very patient with me. I can't wait to see what new upgrades bring next. Great location! Great services.

Wisp is one of my favorite resorts in the area. The slopes are a bit smaller but they are well taken care of and the prices can be very good. They tend to start their holiday prices a bit later than the other resorts in the area which can save alot. The lodge is decent size with plenty of seats. It can still be a bit hard to find seats during peak season around lunch.

Went for the opening day of ski season. Only a few slopes open, but the conditions were great. Minimal crowd, a few powder stashes, no ice that I could tell. Had a couple drinks at the bar. It was small, but nice. Got two local beers that were only $3.90 each, which was a pleasant surprise. Maybe it was a special I didn't know about? For a 20 minute farther drive from Pittsburgh, it was less crowded and $30 less than 7 Springs which have just priced themselves into the realm of absurdity. That place has really gone downhill since the greedy Nutting family purchased it. Wisp might be my new spot.

Went for the Alpine Coaster, and had an excellent time. It's a great attraction that allows you to see scenic views while having a bit of a thrill. Definitely recommend for everybody.

Stayed here for the weekend for a wedding. They have shuttles that come in certain hours to take you to the wedding. Many attractions and fun things to do here at the resort, you can do archery, escape room, water rafting, mountain biking, mini golfing and much more. We did archery and escape room which was fun. They do have a fitness center and a pool at the lodge as well, but we didn't get a chance to check it out. Staff was very friendly and made us feel welcomed. The only problem was the room we stayed at in the lodge. There were dead flies on the ceiling, windows and a lot of them kept flying around in our room.

Great mountain resort. We went in the springtime, so we got to experience the mountain coaster and the other family friendly activities (chipmunk ropes course, gem mining, disk golf). We only did a day trip, but they did a great job at accommodating the 50+ students and staff who went on the trip.

Close to a lot of attractions and convenient for our trip to Ohiopyle. The room was fine but "renovated" seems like a stretch. The toiletries were weird, mainly the soap.
The hotel lacks good lighting and signage from the road at night. They are still renovating at the sign to check in points to a do not enter road. Hopefully they get that figured out soon.
I am giving it a higher rating for location as well as for the attractions. We rode the mountain coaster twice, what a blast. Weather prevented us from trying out more.
I would stay here again, but I will bring my own soap.

Played my first 9 holes of Disc Golf yesterday and had a great time with some friends. The course was a bit tricky to navigate even with the map but I think some tees were missing and the grass was a bit high. I haven't skied or tubed up her or the whitewater but it sure looks fun.

This is an awesome place to go for either summer or winter fun.

I have been skiing here many times over my life (but not recently in the past decade). However, I did recently take my family there to ride the mountain coaster and to ride the ski lift to the top.

The views from the lift are awesome in the summertime, and we saw black bears roaming the ski slope.

We did not have the time to do the other summer activities that they had (such as the zip line course, segways, or hiking), but it is definitely worth a stop in the summer or the winter.

This stay was wonderful. Little upset about the pool being down but some times these issues happen. Loved walking around the resort and listening to the outside band. Stopped at the the bar Thursday evening and enjoyed the area and bartender. He was excellent!

The main thing is there is construction all around the resort. The pool was not in service. Room 117 the door is hard to open it sticks and there is a leak above the shower. There is no info in the room about what is going on. We happen to see the fire pit In the way back. We found it by chance. It is close to many attractions. It is not on the lake. THE STAFF HAS BEEN VERY SWEET. next time we will stay some where different

Mediocre experience. I booked a room for a get-away with my kids, primarily because this place boasted a pool. It turned out that the pool has been closed for weeks. Of course, there was no warning of this. Other than that, the place is very drab and old. Both elevators strongly smell of urine. Cleaning folks come to bang on the door at 8:30 am. Noisy in the evenings, too. Reasonable gym though. We also liked the outdoor fire pit.

Pool was closer for repair now three weeks. Food was good at restaurant Rooms where clean. Just dated Snack options where almost all gone Golf course was in great shape Overall a nice place just shows it's age

Our room was great but we stayed for two nights and house keeping didn't clean up in the morning while we were out. Also the pool was out of service while we stayed due to the water pump. Ended up swimming in the lake, did not make up for the disappointment.

This review is just for the hotel - I was therea wedding and did not experience a lot of the resort attractions. The hotel was good, but not great. The positives: the hotel is convenient to a lot of attractions, the rooms were spacious and came with a refrigerator and microwave, the toiletry products were nice and had a pleasing smell. The negatives: both rooms reserved by our group had (minor) maintenance issues, some ceiling tiles (both in the rooms and the halls) were water stained, the ceilings in parts were very low, the rooms were not especially soundproof. I would stay here again for proximity to the attractions (the chair lift and mountain coaster were both fun, and there are a lot of on site activities), but it's not perfect.

Stayed at the resort for a wedding my wife and I were going to. Got two adjoining rooms for the kids and my mother. Rooms were good size and price for off-season. Resort has plenty if amazing views. Staff was very polite, helpful and friendly. I am definitely heading back with the family for a vacation of our own.

Great experience! Very happy with our stay. Hopefully we'll be able to do it again next year. Loved Lodestone Golf Course. Great course. Really well maintained.

It was very expensive. The room design is ill planned. Some electrical outlets don't work. No hand soap was provided. No do not disturb signs or pen and paper provided. No meals are provided, free or otherwise. The internet is extremely poor, and devices like Chromecast will not work. The staff and pool are really nice though. Would not recommend staying here.

We came here in late spring. It was fun. Most of the staff are very friendly. We stayed in a queen suite which was kind of small. There's plenty to do...the activities aren't cheap. Overall a good experience but it's not perfect.

We went for the flying squirrel zip line tour and then the mountain coaster. The staff on our zip line tour was awesome and we had a ton of fun flying across the mountain. Afterward we went on the mountain coaster. I had no expectations really but zipping down the mountain with me in control of my speed, flying around corners wind in my hair. It was the most fun I've had in a while.

Considering the weather did not cooperate this year, I thought they did a great job of keeping the trails in great shape. This is a great place to bring your family to learn to ski. Lots of trails for beginners and intermediates.

A small ski resort on the East Coast. About as far south as you can ski or board in the US in the East. They really try to accomodate the guests. Wisp has recently changed ownership and I think it shows. Improvements have been made and I think there are a lot more to come. I think better times are on there way for Wisp!

Nice slopes in the Mid Atlantic. Helpful staff and fast chairs keep the slopes. Great snow management keeps the runs open most of the season (except for 2017 where we had summer like weather in February). We like to include this on our rotation of spots including Seven Springs and Liberty (fast access from DC).

Room was clean and comfortable. Slopes were good for the conditions. Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Ski equipment personel were extremely friendly and professional.

Been coming here for the past several years now and it has always been my favorite ski resort in this area! Best selection of slopes for all difficulty levels. Slopes are always well maintained and they offer longer, more varied and overall more fun rides down the mountain than most other ski resorts in this area

Stopped at the resort to ride the mountain coaster with a group. I was hoping to also snow tube, but sadly the slopes were closed for the season early due to the warm weather this year. Fun place though!

Wisp is a phenomenal value. I've been skiing there for over thirty years and absolutely love the place. You can't stay for two nights and ski for three days anyplace else for anywhere near the price. 4 stars only because I've skied Colorado and obviously the mid-Atlantic isn't the same, but for anyplace within 3 hours of DC, Wisp is my favorite ski resort.

Wisp is a fine ski resort for East Coast skiers. The terrain is suitable for all levels and the trails are well groomed to start each day. The lifts are a little old but get you to the top at a good pace. In terms of value, the mountain is a little costly for what is offered by not overly so. This is basically a fine place to scratch the itch of the need for skiing when a larger trip isn't possible.

Great place. Lots of different slopes and routes to take. Friendly and helpful staff. Affordable. Great option for winter skiing.

If you came here to ski and snowboard, you're on the right place! Just don't bother with buying anything from the extortionate store. The trails are beautiful, but it was hard to enjoy them with the snowmakers on at full blast the entire time in combination with the wind. The lifts were fast and the trails enjoyable. As usual, it seemed like an excessive number of trails were closed; no more open in January than in December.

It's Mid Atlantic skiing at its best. Honestly you have got to travel far too get better. Tried all of them around, and this one has the best value. Staff is super friendly, happy to be there. The only negative is the lodge is starting to show it's age.

Good for beginner skiers and for tubing. Note that tubing is on the extreme left of the resort where you park and beginners lessons are situated on the extreme right after the hotel. It takes a while to find both these places.

They do everything they can to make the mountain ready for skiiers. The resort is well kept, and the mountain is well maintained. Unfortunate they got rid of their multi-day pass and student discounts.

It was a blast. Had do much fun shredding gnar it was unreal. I did see a yeti though so be careful

The house we rented was right across the street from the resort. Easy access. It was very cold and the snow was fresh.

Wisp Resort is a top of the line ski resort located in a nice small town. Great slopes with decent snow coverage and not too many patches where it is icy. Good mix of Greens, Blues, and Blacks for all skills sets. Good food court with options for vegetarians/vegans which is a nice thought. Slightly overpriced but it is expected to be so. Decent terrain park however it doesn't cater to beginner/amateurs and doesn't have a wide selection of obstacles but otherwise a decent part of the resort. Shout out to Sam who works in the Tune and Repair shop as he was very helpful to me and my friends with our questions and business. #GiveHimARaise Would recommend Wisp for a family get away or to the experienced Skier/Snowboarder

Great place. Snow machines and lifts in good shape. Efficient lifts. Food ok. Not as visually aesthetic compared to 7 springs.

We love the resort! It was opening dsy for the slopes and only one was open, but it was fun we discovered a bar inside that was delightful

Wisp is slowly being updated and the results are beginning to show. The rooms have nice amenities, like a wet bar, microwave, refrigerator, and a nice flat screen. The bed was so comfy! We had a little trouble with the iron in our room, but they promptly brought us a new one that worked. We definitely enjoyed the views of the slopes from our room. In the off-season, Wisp isn't very busy, but it is definitely hopping when the snow falls.

I came to Wisp Resort for a wedding. The staff was helpful and polite. The main lodge was beautiful, and the bathrooms were immaculate. The parking was very convenient and it was easy to find a space.

A little hard to find because there signage is very low key. The room was old school ski lodge. We had a hideaway bed the kids loved. The staff was super friendly and accommodating.

We did the mountain coaster and the scenic chair lift and it was awesome! It was $24 for the two, so reasonably priced. The mountain coaster was so much fun, you leisurely ride up the hill and then fast to the bottom. The chair lift was so calming and relaxing, 15 minutes up and 15 minutes down. Highly recommend on your next trip to Deep Creek!

We did this activity here while on a 4 day vacation. The mountain coaster was a very unique experience! It went much faster than we had expected and ended up being really fun. I would highly reccomend it to everyone.

Wisp resort is not only in a stellar location looking down onto Deep Creek Lake. It also has stellar service and summer activities. While there everyone I had to talk to was extremely nice and professional.

Good service staff very nice

Ok this review is biased in the fact that this is THE best resort for people living in dc/md to go skiing/snowboarding. I would recommend other locations in the Poconos if you lived more north... however, as a DC resident -- wisp offers a solid amount of trails at a closer distance than those mountains. TLDR: go to wisp if you live in dc, go to Poconos if you live in philly; go to Killington if you actually want to enjoy the mountain.

Wisp is a glorified hill that has some steep drops and averages conditions. Mostly i found packed/groomed powder and some ice. Luckily no hail pellets I have seen on other mountains. They offer a decent amount of trails so you can play around on the slopes from green to blue to black-- even offering some double blacks, a terrain park, and some tree skiing (glades) if you want. They even offer tubing and a roller coaster that you control that is propelled by gravity (both for additional money).

For the location this is a great place to go to enjoy yourself for the day -- and would recommend it beyond most other local options.

3.5 Stars

Overall, it was pretty nice. There are ups and downs, but it was mainly good.
Lodging: My family and I stayed in a double queen bed room. As other reviewers mentioned, the walls are terribly thin. I think a kid next door was getting beat by his parents for misbehaving. The room is nice; 2 standard queen beds, also a sofa and 2 tables. Wifi in the evening is pretty slow, and it blocks Youtube.

Food: For the first night, we went to DC's restaurant. It was packed and they didn't have enough waiters/waitresses. We got the hostess as our server. The food was below par, a burger was $10. The hostess never served obviously, she didn't give us menus and complimentary bread. We had to bug her to check on the food. After an hour, we finally got our food. The cafeteria is extremely overpriced. I like the nice, big, spacious seating area, though. I bought a burger, mozzarella sticks, chicken tenders, fries, onion rings, and soup for $36. The food in the cafeteria was also below par. The mozzarella sticks tasted really weird, and the burger was burnt.

Slopes: The slopes were decent. There were only 2 blues open, which were very short and merged into the 2 green slopes that were open. All the slopes were generally very icy. The blues were fun and there weren't that many people on them. The greens had everybody from first-day skiers to people who should be on blues/blacks. I almost crashed into a little kid.

I think overall it was better than any other ski resort.

I had sooooo much fun I agree that the hills were icy. One of my lessons (I'm a kid) they mixed me a black skier and a biginner together in one class and we only skied one hill the whole time! Other than that it was awesome. We are going again soon I can't wait . Eeeeeee so much fun
