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.
Key Features & Amenities:

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 city centre Washington DC or Baltimore (about 45 easy minutes drive to each). City centre Urbana, Maryland is only 5 minutes away for dining and groceries. City centre 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 licence, although bass is catch-and-release only.

My children and I loved the animals and porches on this proprty. The kids enjoyed playing in the attic/loft area, and the house comfortably slept the 7 of us.
We spent a thanksgiving at the farm and it was great. The animals are fun to feed and the house had plenty of space. The kitchen was well stocked as well.
A very unique house which was great for a small group. Lots of farm animals around which added to the experience. If we ever need to rent a place again in or around Frederick, we'll definitely be looking at this house. Highly recommend.
We had a family reunion/ thanksgiving/ and celebration of a 90 th birthday at the farm. We loved the property. It was very kid friendly we had toddlers ages 2-4 that especially loved helping feed the goats and hanging out in the playroom. For the adults we enjoyed the calm laid back atmosphere. We would definitely book again
It was so wonderful to see our teens all unplug and experience the property. They loved fishing and spending time with the goats. The outdoor shower was so fun for them too 😄 Thank you for an amazing stay. The house was nice and cool after hot days on the lacrosse field. We slept amazing. Truly felt like home away from home 💕
What a wonderful slice of life on the farm which we all enjoyed! The animals are quiet at night but happy to say hello and/or be fed some apples during the day. It is perfect for 5-9 adults, 14 adults may be too many because there is only one bathroom on the 2nd floor (accessible thru one of the bedrooms. The sunrise and night sky were gorgeous from the upper patio. Your group will love life in this renovated 1700s farmhouse full of patios, porches, fireplaces and firepits!
Thank you.
Our experience was wonderful. Our son got married and the location was perfect for us. The house is stunning, the land and farm animals were bonus. Jeff was a wonderful host. We spent most of our time on the back screen porch- it was so restful and peaceful. We will be back, when we don't have a wedding to attend to! My 14 year old daughter was off of her phone and out with the animals the entire time! Thank you, Jeff!
Perfect seclusion for an intimate and relaxing setting
We rented the property with family to host an anniversary memorial for a departed loved one. It was the perfect setting for friends and family to share their stories and gather in remembrance.
We had over 10 adults stay in this great house for the weekend. The place was very nice and also nice interesting.
The owner was very accommodating and easy to work
Fantastic location -- nothing soothes the soul like waking up every morning and feeding goats and horses, or petting Precious the Cat. If you're looking to spend a weekend in Frederick with friends, this is the place to be.
The Farm is a great place to gather and relax. Enjoyed the fields of Farm animals and wild life. The house itself was clean and had all the amenities needed. Easy check in and out- great owner to work with.
We had such a wonderful time over the long 4th of July weekend. Jeff was very helpful and responsive, the property was clean, quiet and peaceful- everything we hoped for. The children had a great time swimming, fishing and petting the goats and horses. Thanks so much for a great experience!
Rented the farm to get out of the city and celebrate our 1 year olds birthday.
We had a great time and my kids and nieces/nephews from 1-12 loved the place and all the friendly animals.
Place is great and Jeff made the whole process easy.
