About this property

Historic 70-Acre Farm with Porches, Animals & Ponds

  • Escape to a 200-year-old dairy farm on 72 private acres. This 3,900+ sq ft farmhouse comfortably sleeps 10+ guests, making it perfect for family reunions or executive retreats. 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:

    - Living Spaces: Cosy, log-walled living room with a fireplace, a large screened-in porch, a spacious upper deck, and a patio.
    - Kitchen: A modern, fully equipped kitchen for preparing group meals.
    - Bedrooms & Bathrooms: 4 bedrooms and 2+ bathrooms to accommodate 10+ guests.
    - Outdoor Features: A fire pit perfect for stargazing and enjoying the country nights.
    - Work & Connectivity: A dedicated workspace is available for those needing to stay connected.
    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 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.

    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 film 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 neighbouring 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 washing machine 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.

A wonderful Farmhouse with lots of character

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.

Private Farmhouse

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

A slice of heaven

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 💕

Heaven on earth

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.

Fun Farm Time

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!

A magical place

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.

Great getaway

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.
