A peaceful retreat

I spent a wonderful few days in the Catoctin Mountain area, hiking and learning about the local history. The house is really unique and full of rich history. Be ready for some basic furniture, but get immersed into the theme of the property. Elizabeth was extremely responsive and helpful. I definitely recommend a stay here!

Wonderful home

Our family enjoyed staying at the Forgeman House. We loved the area and it was a unique experience and one that our kids will remember. Be ready to be immersed in history. We loved the very nice touches and the responsiveness of the host.

Birthday getaway

My daughter wanted to stay somewhere close to Burkittsville, MD for her birthday because she had recently seen The Blair Witch Project for the first time. I found this listing and thought it was perfect! I read the listing carefully and did make note of the period-specific bedding and accommodations, so we weren’t surprised at check in. The kitchen and the bathroom were very modern and had everything we needed. Elizabeth was very helpful and responsive to any questions I had. I would love to stay here again if given the chance.

Forgeman’s House

House is charming. Short walk to museum and trails. Note that in keeping with the historical ambiance the lighting in the original house, including the bedrooms, is somewhat dim. The kitchen and bathroom are well-lit, and we’ll stocked. Host was kind enough to arrange for a guide at the museum for us even though it was closed.

family Christmas stay

My family rented this charming little house for two nights to celebrate Christmas. We loved it! It’s a historical building with modern amenities. It has a small kitchen so cooking for 6 was a bit challenging but where there’s a will, there’s a way! We loved that the Catoctin Mt Park was right down the road. Would recommend staying here for a unique experience!

First VisitTo Frederick/Thurmont MD

The property was great -- having the modern facilities of the kitchen/bath inside such an authentically historic building was something I've never experienced but enjoyed. My family:mother and father both in their eighties, brother and sister in law and nephews, ages 9 & 14 were deeply impressed with the house and neighborhood of Catoctin Furnace. We had a memorable time in Thurmont. Thank you for hosting us!

Quaint

Lovely space to unplug and be present. Perfectly historic with modern conveniences. The fireplace was cozy and the beds comfortably. We enjoyed hiking and the wildlife preserve. 10/10 would recommend for the family looking to slow down.

decent

The stay was decent. My booking date I arrived, and the yard was filled with cars and the house was filled with people from the neighborhood practicing music. The loc box was open. I had no communication with the owner or host etc. One guy said they didn't know the property was rented. We waited for everyone to leave. Honestly, I liked the property. It was great. A little extreme with the old fashion style. One of the beds was very noisy every time every turn you make while sleeping. The Sunday a guy came snooping around the yard and seemed annoyed a outdoor chair was on the porch. Then after the stay a few days later the owner Elizabeth contact me about a lost outdoor chair. This annoyed me very much as the advertisement clearly states to make use of the porch. Not sure what was the bases of the lost chair would hate to think that was because we were a colored family. I told her to double check the property as we didnt take anything and I haven't hear back from her. I wouldn't rent back this property for that reason.

A blast from the past

We booked this to stay at while attending a wedding weekend. Check in was easy when we arrived we found the kitchen area to be at a lovely temperature. The rest of the house was warm and the upstairs was stifling hot. Tried calling the rental contact and had to leave a message. While waiting for a call back we figured out the central air. Good thing as we didn’t get a call back until the next day. Everything about the house is historically correct, including the beds. If you are looking for luxury, this is NOT the place for you. Two bedrooms have full sized beds. They have rope box springs for the thin mattresses. The rope creaks on the wood frame with every move you make. Upstairs are two twin beds or so we thought. The one is a twin while the other is the width of a twin but only about 4 feet long. Perfect if you have smaller children but we were all adults. Overall a nice clean place to stay. The kitchen and bathroom are modern and well stocked. I don’t think we would stay here again but if you like living history you will find it here.

Peaceful, lovely, historic home

A beautiful, well equipped, spacious, and peaceful home just a few minutes from Catoctin Mountain National Park and Cunningham Falls State Park. It's very clean and retains its historic character—there are small, fascinating exhibits about history and archaeology in the home itself—without sacrificing modern conveniences. Not far from Frederick, and within an hour's drive of Gettysburg and Antietam battlefields. Also, the historic iron furnace and accompanying museum, just across the road, are well worth exploring. Enthusiastically recommend.
