About this property

Country Acres Retreat has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths plus an additional sleeping area and sleeps up to 12 persons. Also available within a few hundred feet, if needed, is a pavilion with picnic tables, chairs, gas grills, and a campfire circle of large rocks for relaxation, story-telling, or reminiscing. The pavilion can be reserved for family reunions, weddings, church events, etc. Please inquire for pricing.

This cabin features a full hickory kitchen with an eat-in bar area, and includes an electric range, microwave, blender, dishwasher, lots of silverware, plates, glasses, cooking utensils, and much more.

The Great Room features a rustic, native sugar maple hardwood floor which still shows the tap holes made by the 'sugaring' process years ago. The Great Room is furnished with a sofa, love seat, recliner, and a large, 'antique' plank-style table with a bench and chairs seating from ten to twelve people.

A tastefully decorated full bath and a bedroom with a queen size bed is on the main floor. One is struck by the rustically beautiful wooden floors, ceilings and trim.

The loft affords a beautiful view of the one-acre lake, and includes a king-sized bed, and additional sleeping space of two single beds on rollers for those 'extra,' younger guests.

The ground floor includes a bedroom with a king bed , a bathroom with a shower, and a utility room with a washer and a dryer. There is a twin over full bunkbed in the utility room. Rounding out the ground floor is a twin daybed with a twin trundle, a cot, a TV on 210+-channel Xfinity service plus the Pittsburgh local channels, and a DVD player. A pack-n-play also available as needed. Again, there is a beautiful view of the water.

** New in 2020 is stamped concrete and Breeo Fire Pit below the cabin near the lake, perfect for sitting and relaxing while viewing the lake.

packed with enjoyable experiences

We were thee for only about 14 hours. They were packed with so much. With about 2 hours of daylight, we started with the boats, then the volleyball. Then the fire pit. A downpour pushed us inside, where we had a movie until bedtime. Everyone enjoyed their beds. Up in the morning for breakfast, packing and cleanup. Everyone had a great time and wans to come back.

Cozy Spring Break Getaway

My family of four met up with my parents for a three-night stay at this lovely cabin. We all had a comfortable place to sleep and plenty of space for playing games and sharing meals. We loved exploring the property. My husband fished, my daughter kayaked, and the rest of us enjoyed walks. Ken was a quick and thoughtful communicator. He answered our questions helpfully each time.

Lovely winter cabin getaway!

A group of four friends from DC/Baltimore came out to have a chill weekend in the woods, and the cabin gave us the perfect setting to read, paint, do a puzzle, and play some Mario Kart and Overcooked! The kitchen is well stocked with cooking implements, and the cabin itself is just delightfully charming. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Property and Location

This is my second stay and we really appreciated the upgrades to the lower level since our last visit. We had 7 family members during this stay; ages 9 through 72. We enjoyed the pond, star gazing, nightly campfires and plenty of card games around the table. This was the perfect spot for the family to be together. All necessary details were given to us prior to arrival. The host made contact once we arrived. The place was clean and had everything I needed. We had no issues to report and are definitely looking forward to staying again! THANK YOU!!!

Perfect Getaway

The 6 of us adults had more than enough places to comfortably sleep. The kitchen had good quality equipment, the beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were nice. We had so much fun enjoying the pond (1 two person kayak, 1 normal kayak, and 1 pedal boat) and fire pit. They had fire wood for us, perfect trees for setting up hammocks. It was a wonderful stay.

Perfect long weekend

We absolutely loved this property. The online listing was very accurate. The bedding was sumptuous, good lighting in all rooms, nice breezes from the lake, great gathering spaces but also lots of spots for a peaceful moment on your own. We enjoyed the view from the deck the chair swings on the patio and the rockers on the front porch. We walked around the lake and kayaked across - perfect size!The fire pit set up is really nice for gathering around. The hosts were responsive and left us some delicious homemade bread. The kitchen had everything we needed, and other than a stop at the wonderful firefly farms market for wine and cheese , we really didn’t need to leave the property

Awesome Cabin

This cabin was perfect for my wife and I's getaway weekend. The cabin is nice and secluded with beautiful views and we enjoyed the lake. The house has everything we needed. The fishing wasn't great, but that's likely because of the weather more than anything. We will definitely be booking this cabin again in the future, and hopefully for a longer stay!

About the host

Hosted by Ken & Cheryl Maust

I, Ken, grew up in Accident, MD on this farm. In 1995 I moved to Nashville, TN to take a job as a Road Manager/Sound Engineer for many different artists. This took me to all 50 states and about 15 countries. In Nashville, I met my wife Cheryl who was working for the management company of George Strait, Lee Ann Womack, Dierks Bentley, and others. She also went to school for interior design.
We got married in 2002 and now have 4 children. After the children came along, I decided I no longer wanted to be on the road all the time, so I got a "real job" in the building industry designing homes. In 2014 we decided to move back to Accident, MD.
We both love having guests over and enjoy cooking. Sipping a fresh cup of hot coffee on the front porch while watching the deer and wild turkeys is an enjoyment of ours. Cheryl's parents both moved to the US from Cuba in the 1950's so Cheryl's first language was Spanish. Cheryl grinds her own flour and bakes fresh bread regularly. Her homemade pizzas will rival any pizza shop! One of her passions is to take old furniture or other objects and take her artistic touch to turn them into something new, useful and exciting! She also enjoys oil painting when she gets the opportunity.
While I now spend much of my time working from home designing houses, I also mix sound at a local state university where they bring in various national/international artists.

Why they chose this property

I am one of nine children who grew up on this farm. When I was in middle school my dad and I planted the white pines that now surround the cabin. A few years later we built the pond so that we would have water to irrigate our strawberry fields. Several of us kids moved out of the area when we grew up and my dad and mom decided to build this cabin so that their kids would have a place to stay when we came back home to visit.
The construction of the cabin was a labor of love by my dad, my siblings, in-laws, and some friends. Some of the hemlock boards used for the siding and trim came from trees off the farm. My parents decided to extend their hospitality and make the cabin available to people outside of the immediate family. Many have made this their vacation home year after year!
My father was a school teacher, a pastor, and a farmer. He passed away in 2002 and since then the cabin has been managed by Ida, my mom, along with help from the kids. At age 88 she decided that it was too much for her to manage and that it was time to sell it to one of her kids. She still likes meeting the guests when they stop by the farmhouse...
In Feb 2022 Cheryl and I were blessed with the opportunity to purchase it from her and continue the tradition! We feel that it is too nice of a place to just be enjoyed by one family and we want to share it with you and others! We want others to also be able to escape the craziness in the world and to be able to relax and be refreshed by the peace and beauty in nature - at least for a while...

The area is quiet and private, yet close enough to enjoy the local attractions and the mountains of Western Maryland.

What makes this property unique

The cabin is fully furnished, heated, and overlooks our private 1-1/2 acre lake. There is a firepit between the cabin and the pond that is available to use.

Also available within a few hundred feet, if needed, is a pavilion with picnic tables, chairs, gas grill, and a campfire circle of large rocks for relaxation, story-telling, or reminiscing. There is a sand volleyball court near the pavilion.

We also have the Butterfly Suite that sleeps 5-6 and the Board Room that sleeps up to 9 a few hundred yards across the field. This works great for family reunions, weddings etc.

A number of weddings have also been held on the farm in the beautiful setting of the lake area.

Whether you are seeking a peaceful retreat, a romantic getaway, or simply want to experience a natural wonder, you will find what you are looking for at the Country Acres Retreat.
