If you are planning a December getaway at Deep Creek Lake, the weekend of December 12-14 is filled with holiday cheer. From cozy crafts at Timber Rock Village to a full day of small-town fun in nearby Oakland, it’s the perfect time to make lasting memories with family and friends.
Our fall special extends through December 18th, so you can book two nights and get the third night free!
Families staying at Timber Rock Village can kick off the weekend with a creative morning at the lodge. Kids are invited to join us for holiday crafts starting at 10 AM.
It’s a fun, hands-on way to celebrate the season—whether they’re making ornaments, decorating keepsakes, or creating gifts to take home.
This festive activity is a great opportunity to meet other guests, sip some hot cocoa, and enjoy the cozy atmosphere of the lodge while little ones show off their creativity.

After a morning of crafts, head into Oakland for A Great Small Town Christmas, a beloved annual event that captures the spirit of the season. The historic downtown comes alive with holiday sights, sounds, and flavors the whole family will enjoy.

Whether you spend the weekend crafting, exploring, or relaxing by the fire, Deep Creek Lake is the perfect place to experience the magic of the holidays. Check out our specials to get 3 nights for the price of 2 December 12th weekend!
