If you are near Accident (on purpose or on accident- hahahahaha!), stop by Firefly Farms to get yourself the most delicious cheese! We had previously had the Merry Goat Round at a winery and loved it. We were looking forward stopping in their market. They had many choices of cheeses, wine, bread/crackers, meats. You could easily shop for a great charcuterie platter there! The staff was very helpful in recommendations. We've already dipped into the wood-strapped Merry Goat Round (aged 90 days to sweet, soft perfection, almost like a brie) and look forward to enjoying our others. They also had other local merchants' goods, i.e. honey, spreads. We were happy to hear they now have a store in Whitehall Market in Baltimore and look forward to checking that out!

Great place for children and adults. Everyone is welcoming -and the exhibits are interesting and fun. Oftentimes there is a craft project downstairs or some kind of activity. Of course the view from the grounds us outstanding, the aviary wonderful and the park is adequate for young children

In my wanderings, I decided to visit the museum (and just barely beat a rainstorm!!) What a delight - especially the cars that are privately owned and have been refurbished. Upstairs was local history, including a horrific story about a school bus that stalled on the railroad tracks. I had no idea about that history.

We fell in love w Paul, his wife and Deep Creek Cellars. Not a Chardonnay drinker on any level but we came away purchasing two bottles of a char blend. A char blend? Who makes this? Such an amazing buttery finish and loved that they thought outside the box. Not a Winery for sweet wine lovers but still worth the drive for the scenery and to meet the owners. COVID wise - you’ll need a reservation for car side service.

The view is amazing and the area is very well kept. There is picnic tables where you can set and look at the view while eating. And the restrooms are clean and there is a vending area with several different machines.

Was looking for a place to get some souvenirs. Not much was around. Bear Creek was fully stocked with something for everyone. Top line shop and expensive but they seem to be the only place in town. Some items were overpriced. Overall a nice quality shop with nice and friendly staff. Expect to pay some bucks to cover everyone on your shopping list but do stop by.

My wife & I recently visited Wine & Words in early November. Barry immediately greeted us, introduced himself & invited us to join in a free Wine Tasting with another couple. We sampled a Red, a White & a Dessert Wine. Barry was so informative RE: the wines but more importantly- so friendly with all four of us during our Sampling! It truly felt like spending time with old friends! My wife & I purchaserd a bottle of the Dessert wine & shared it while we browsed their book collection. Patty joined us in cheering on the Steelers to a win over the Rams! What a wonderful start to our getaway weekend! We definitely will be back!

We took a quick trip to the farm when we were in Deep Creek. Great place to take photos. They have pick your own lavender to take home and a charming gift shop.
