We absolutely adored this place! It was wonderfully homey and comfortable where we felt incredibly comfortable relaxing and connecting. The hosts were wonderful both communicative and kind. We look forward to returning next year.

This property was very cool and the hosts went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. This is a good spot and I would stay here again if coming back to the Frederick, Thurmont, Keysport area.

Overall we enjoyed our stay at The General Store. Its history and character is definitely unique. We found the furniture to be comfortable and the place cozy to relax for the weekend. The little pellet stove kept the winter chill out. The location is approximately 25-30 minutes from restaurants, wineries, shopping, etc so you need to plan accordingly for driving. We enjoyed the scenic roads as we explored the area. The kitchen was also well-equipped. Prior to booking, the owners promptly answered our questions. However, the day of our arrival we still had not received the check in code and instructions by the time we arrived. The owners forgot about our reservation and did not have the place completely ready for us. It was a little awkward for us being there while the owner finished cleaning and making the beds. The rest of our stay went on without incident. We do recommend The General Store as a quaint place to stay. However, we highly suggest contacting the owners the day before your arrival to confirm your reservation.
