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 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.
The host is lovely and rescued us from a last minute cancellation. There would have had been no room at the inn on Christmas Eve had they not stepped up. The home was extremely comfortable, filled with eclectic games books and shadows that echoed the years of a loving family. The warmth from the environment and the surroundings, are what rejuvenates you most. We cannot wait to stay on the farm again. Spending time in the serene landscape alongside friendly animals, nothing could have been better for our souls! We will never forget the feeling. Thank you Jeff and Family!
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.
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.
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.
The home was very spacious and provided a great spot for hide and seek with our granddaughters. Loved the huge screened in porch. The animals were a highlight of our stay. The adults enjoyed the outdoor shower and the children enjoyed the attic and playroom. We would totally recommend this house!
Everything was perfect!! Kids had a blast and so did the grandparents!! Even though it was really hot, the house and farm allowed for lots of activities. Loved the large and well-stocked kitchen. Outside shower was a huge plus!!! Thanks for sharing your beautiful farmhouse with us!
We had a great time fishing and petting goats and horses. Perfect setting, perfect weather and lots to do. Will likely return when baby is old enough to appreciate it. The 3 year old grandson loved it. Thanks!
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
We live in the DC area and were looking for something fun and different to do this Memorial Day with a group of friends in our 30s, some of who have kids and dogs. This was the perfect destination! The house is old and charming - of course there are some quirks but everything is advertised accurately. The property itself is beautiful - the ponds, the views, the animals, all wonderful. We had a great time and check in/check out were super easy!
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 💕

Great place to stay
Our paint crew stayed here for a month, and had good things to say. This is a great place, very roomy with lots of areas to hangout and do things. The only drawback is the place is (supposedly) haunted. Owner Jeff explained the history to our crew, and after that the crew started noticing things to reinforce that belief. So if that sort of thing bothers you, be careful, might want to discuss with the owner before booking. Otherwise, a very nice place and owner Jeff was very accommodating.
