About this house rental

Enjoy the luxury and serene Blue Ridge Summit mountain area in our all-season vacation rental house, close to Ski Liberty Mountain and Camp David, a turn of the century Maryland Victorian house in Cascade, Maryland. This stately 5 bedroom, 2½ bath, later-style Victorian home was built in 1910. It is historic, and has been recently renovated with modern amenities.

This house is a fabulous getaway all year round. Enjoy the cozy fireplace atmosphere during the Fall and Winter and relax in the wicker furniture and wrap around porch in the Spring and Summer. Both bathrooms on the second floor have claw foot tubs, with shower enclosures. Enjoy the serene and private environment with almost 2 peaceful, secluded acres. This home is also great for entertaining. On the first floor, it boasts a newly renovated gourmet kitchen with new cabinets, granite counters, and modern amenities, a renovated half bathroom with marble floor, in addition to the very large living room and dining room with Arts and Crafts style windows and newly finished mahogany hardwood floors throughout the first and second floor. The spacious 5 bedrooms accommodate 12 persons very comfortably. There is also a pull out couch in living room.

We rent this home to nature, ski, or history enthusiasts. In addition to the nearby mountains and areas for skiing, hand gliding, hiking, golfing, biking, fishing, canoeing, golfing, swimming, and sight seeing, there are multiple historic areas to visit. If nature is what you like, it does not get any better than this. If you are a skier, the Liberty Mountain Resort is only 8 miles away in Pennsylvania and 20 minutes from Whitetail mountain. This home is also close to Cunningham Falls Maryland State Lake and Park (5000 acres of parkland), Catoctin Mountain National Park (25 miles of hiking trails), Penn Mar State Park, and is just minutes from the High Rock overlook and the home of the Presidential Retreat, Camp David. The countryside and mountain views in this area are outstanding. Stay in one of the most rustic, mountain areas of the east coast, just one hour from the DC and Baltimore areas. If nature is not what you are looking for, there are also shopping centers, antique shops, and movie theaters nearby. You can also sightsee at places like Emmitsburg, Gettysburg, Harper’s Ferry, or one of many other Civil War locations, such as Battle of Monterey historic sites nearby.

This home is well situated off the beaten path, ½ mile off Route 550 on Rowland Hill Road. Pennsylvania is only steps away from Route 550 up the mountain. The town of Cascade is close by with a local grocery store to serve your needs. Several restaurants, including, the Carriage House in Emmitsburg (8 miles away) and several restaurants in Waynesboro (6 minutes away), and Frederick (20 minutes away) offer the finest menus in the area. The Blue Ridge Summit mountain area has been, and still is, a common vacation area and get away of persons/families wanting a getaway from the Washington/Baltimore and other city areas. Presidents since Dwight Eisenhower have vacationed near this house, at Camp David, and families have vacationed in the Blue Ridge Summit area for decades.

If you are looking for a back to nature, weekend get away, a retreat or out of town event, a week’s vacation or a month if needed, let us know. We will attempt to accommodate your needs. This is a perfect retreat for one or more families or for those who want a getaway. We are about an hour from the DC and Baltimore areas, and only 20 minutes north from Frederick, Maryland and east (6 minutes) of Waynesboro, Pennsylvania and southeast (20 minutes) of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

Great communication and impecable place

We had to cancel our trip due to an unpredictable weather event. Our host, Marianne, was gracious and communicative, and I appreciated her willingness to offer a discount for a future stay if booked within 60 days. Due to rescheduling challenges with everyone involved, I wasn’t able to take advantage of rebooking within the timeframe offered. Marianne was very kind and professional throughout. I do believe she handled the situation as best she could within the platform’s rules. Thank you Marianne! Your efforts did not go unappreciated!

What a gem this is! Our host was responsive and created a welcoming space on last-minute notice. Our family is already planning another reunion here next year!

This house was beautiful and clean. The host was very nice- we appreciated the bottle of wine left for us! It is well appointed. We unfortunately booked what would be the coldest weekend of 2026 (with wind chills below zero). The copious amount of space heaters could not compensate for the cold temperatures. Pretty sure the heat in the main level stopped working at some point during the weekend. Multiple layers of clothes were required for sleeping comfortably, and some bedrooms were so cold that they couldn’t be used. Luckily, we didn’t have so many ppl in our party that we needed all the rooms. From reading other reviews, it sounds like this house would be perfect in better weather, but would not recommend in winter.
