The Next Big

Looking for a luxurious winter getaway home that you can drive to? Low mortgage rates and ample inventory mean there are some (relative) bargains just a few hours west of Baltimore, around Deep Creek Mountain and Wisp Resort. You can pick up a grand, fully-loaded, ski-in, ski-out chalet to call your own for about $1 million—and though the area is popular, you won't be dodging crowds on the slopes.
