History

Established in 1953.

Early vacationers Gustav and Alice Heise moved here permanetly with their children, Helmuth and Doris, and bought a summer camp called Will O’ the Wisp. Helmuth and his wife Evelyn built a small «modern» motel in 1953. The Four Seaons Dining Room was added in the 1960’s. The stone used for the original motel was recycled to form the stone pillars that stand in the Dining Room today. The wood was planed from trees removed to make way for the skit trails at Wisp. If one takes the LONG veiw, Will O’ the Wisp is a blip in history, but is still one of the oldest contiually operating hospitality enterprises in Garrett County.
