About the host
Hosted by Jeff Aronson/Owner
We purchased this property in 2010 and immediately fell in love with it's country charm. It is not the fanciest or the most upscale piece of property, but it is comfortable and homey and it is easy to find your self relaxing here. We have been coming here almost every weekend for some time, but as our kids have gotten older (and we have gotten busier) we have found that our visits have been spreading further apart and we decided it was a shame to have the property empty when it should have life and happiness surrounding it. This is why we are so happy to share the experience with you.
Why they chose this property
Growing up close by in Montgomery County, it was very important for us to stay close to family and friends in the area. When we told people we had bought a farm, they were shocked to learn how easily accessible it was and how comfortable it felt to be here. Once they came, it was hard to get them to leave. This is how we feel almost every time we are here.
What makes this property unique
This property allows the privacy and peace that country living provides, while being close enough to both Washington DC, Baltimore, and downtown Frederick to enjoy easy access to all of the areas main attractions. There are very few properties available like this that are this close to the Washington DC and Baltimore. MD.
Also, the laid back set up of the property is very conducive to all types of outdoor gatherings and it is a great place for kids of all ages to explore.
