About this property

Cool Smokehouse on historic Manor House grounds!

Originally constructed as the Smokehouse for the historic Manor House at Gayfield, this unique quasi 'tiny house" was converted to living space in the 1960s and recently polished. With a full bathroom and efficient kitchenette, the Smokehouse has all the comfortable amenities. The nimble and adventurous can climb to the loft area full size memory foam bed. The acrophobic will find sleeping conienent and comfortable on the futon. Be sure to explore the farm and enjoy the Manor House also!

The kitchenette is set up with a commercial 2 burner cooktop, and a basic supply of pots, pans and cooking utinsils.

There is an 850 yard long path down to the large Monocacy River which borders the East edge of the farm. There is about 1500 ft of river frontage, but it's not really possible to manicure the river bank so you'll need to work your way down to the water as if you were in the wild if you'd like to fish or launch a kayak.

Currently several animals from D&D's Petting Zoo and Pony Rides are boarded at the farm and include ponies, a zebra, a miniature donkey, goats and other such critters. The animals are very friendly!

Pets under about 50 lbs are welcomed at an additional fee of $40 per pet, per stay, but should be crated when unattended. I can make exceptions to the fee structure for small dogs or multiple pets.

In support of the global effort to conserve energy resources utilizing reasonable practices, we use a maximum heating setting of 71 degrees and a minimum cooling setting of 72 degrees.

The Manor House at Gayfield Estate was originally built in 1850 by the Jarboe family, and currently sits upon 144 acres of farmland in Central Frederick County. The farm has had three owners, currently owned by the Bartlett family and before them the Morans and the Jarboes. Thomas Jarboe served as a County Commissioner in the 1800's and William "Bill" Moran was a world-famous knifesmith.

The Jarboe family commissioned a major addition in 1895 when the Northwest turret, 4 rooms on the Southeast side, and the stone water tower were added. So the Jarboe family had 'running' water in the 1800's, which was rare at the time.

The Smokehouse was just that, a smokehouse where they smoked meat for preservation. The Smokehouse brickwork and beams date back to 1850 also.

Although the Manor House has been modified over the last nearly 200 years , all of the wood floors throughout the house date from 1850 and in some rooms 1895, and nearly all of the woodwork dates to the same periods.
