A waterfront property featuring two stocked ponds, friendly farm animals, and a fire pit, this secluded sanctuary offers a unique blend of historic charm and modern comfort for an unforgettable getaway.

Step inside our charming farmhouse, where historic character meets modern comfort. The house is designed to comfortably host large groups, family reunions, and friends, with 4 bedrooms and over two bathrooms, sleeping 10 or more guests.

- Bedrooms & Bathrooms: 4 bedrooms and 2+ bathrooms to accommodate 10+ guests.

This is a place designed for relaxing, unwinding, and making memories. We fell in love with its country charm and know you will too.

The upper deck, large, screened porch, fire pit, and patio areas all provide unique gathering areas.

The real experience with this property is enjoyed on the outside and you and your guests can spend all day relaxing and exploring the property. It is truly serene and peaceful. With that said, the house itself is comfortable and nicely set to allow everybody their own space.

The location is also ideal for visiting downtown Washington DC or Baltimore (about 45 easy minutes drive to each). Downtown Urbana, Maryland is only 5 minutes away for dining and groceries. Downtown Frederick is about 10 minutes away and has plenty of great restaurants, antiquing, and lots to do.

The farm has goats, ducks, geese, cats, and horses.

There are 2 stocked ponds with large-mouth bass, blue gill, catfish, and crappie. Fishing is allowed without a special permit or MD license, although bass is catch-and-release only.

Words cannot describe how nice this property really is. Sleeps 14 easily, and the finished attic can sleep multiple kids.

4 bedrooms Upstairs -
1 room w/ king-size Bed
2 room w / queen-size beds (1 in each room)
1 room w/ 3 twin beds
A large finished attic will easily sleep a group of kids
Pull out the futon with a queen-size mattress (upstairs) in the common area
Plus, we have 2 very nice deep queen-size bean bag mattresses and air mattress that can be set up in the attic or one or both of the front rooms.

Fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances, generous prep space, and everything needed for hosting family meals. There are also two grills at the house (charcoal and propane)

Whether gathering for a family movie night or giving the kids their own space, the home offers two Smart TVs — one in the main living room and one in the attic hideaway designed just for younger guests. Cable access, a DVD player, and strong Wi-Fi throughout the property keep everyone comfortable and connected.

Guests enjoy two full baths within the farmhouse, as well as a large outdoor bath and shower set inside the neighboring dairy barn — blending rustic character with memorable comfort.

The property also features a seasonal outdoor shower with both hot and cold water — perfect after a day exploring the fields, hiking, or gathering around the fire.

The farmhouse is equipped with modern plumbing, updated full-size kitchen appliances, and a full-size washer and dryer for added convenience. Three wood stoves provide supplemental heat while adding warmth, character, and an authentic farmhouse ambiance. Firewood for both the home and the outdoor fire pit is included with your stay.

**** Pets are allowed on a case by case basis

****Upstairs, the full bathroom is connected to a bedroom, so access is through that room. Guests may want to consider this layout when planning sleeping arrangements.
****Both indoor bathrooms are located on the same side of the house (one directly above the other). The lower bathroom is conveniently located just off the kitchen.
****An additional full bath is available in the beautifully restored dairy barn, just a short walk across the driveway.

****Firewood for the house and fire pit is provided at no additional charge

Please note: The property no longer includes a hot tub. Some earlier reviews may reference it, but it has been retired.

The host is lovely and rescued us from a last minute cancellation. There would have had been no room at the inn on Christmas Eve had they not stepped up. The home was extremely comfortable, filled with eclectic games books and shadows that echoed the years of a loving family. The warmth from the environment and the surroundings, are what rejuvenates you most. We cannot wait to stay on the farm again. Spending time in the serene landscape alongside friendly animals, nothing could have been better for our souls! We will never forget the feeling. Thank you Jeff and Family!

I am not one to write reviews but I feel one is warrantedThis property will not disappoint, it offers so much.(7) grown men in there 50s enjoyed this property comfortably. There is (8) of us that get together once a year from HS (our 22nd year) unfortunately we were one short this year. The main beds/bedrooms are very comfortable and homey. The kitchen is fully equipped and the living room is very cozy. The balconies, patios and decks each have something different to offer and relaxing is not hard to do during your stay. If you're looking for something different this is it. Very cool and unique property with endless scenery and views. This property takes you away from the daily grind. I recommend "the farm"
