Things To Do

Brenda's Pizzeria
Great people, great pizza!
Trader's Coffee House
For your caffeine fix
Hovatter's Wildlife Zoo
Fun for kids AND adults, you can feed giraffes by hand!! Need I say more?! (Note: because this is in rural West Virginia it’s very cost effective:)
Short Story Brewing at Deep Creek Lake
Our new favorite brewery, imported from right down the road in West Virginia
Maryland Rock Maze Trail
The Maryland Rock Maze is a natural formation of cuts and walkways through massive boulders. To date this is our favorite hike in the area. It’s about 2 miles total, very easy terrain.
Mountain State Brewing Co
Wood fire pizza and great beer, lots of outside seating. Our wedding venue is directly to the right. Don’t forget to bring your growler!
Swallow Falls State Park
Waterfalls and hiking trails! Handicap access to falls is available
Best Pepperoni Rolls Ever! (Exxon)
The cute little old lady that owns this Exxon bakes fresh pepperoni rolls every morning. Pepperoni rolls are a West Virginia tradition dating back to 1927 when miners needed something that did not require refrigeration to take into the mines for lunch.
Herrington Manor State Park
Picnic tables, kayaks, walking trails, and a giant lake
FireFly Farms- Creamery & Cheesemonger
Our amazing local cheesemonger! If you like cheese be sure to check this place out before you leave town
Butcher Block
Brendan’s favorite local butcher. If you are smoker or grill-inclined, we highly recommend checking this place out. They put your grocery store meat counter to shame!
Firewater Kitchen & Bar
Fire pits, lake views, craft cocktails, and great food
Deep Creek Lake State Park
Family and dog friendly, a great place to hang out by the water or hit their beach
Honi Honi Bar
Our favorite tiki bar, situated right on the lake. Cool down with a drink, and some live music. Dog friendly outside
