Historical Thurmont Escape w/ Furnished Deck!

We're glad the beds were comfortable, the kitchen and bath worked well for you, and that you enjoyed the location near the parks. This is a stay-back-in-time property, designed for guests seeking an authentic 1820s experience rather than a typical modern rental. The wooden antique chairs and benches with cushions, and the candle-style lighting, are both intentional choices meant to reflect that era rather than oversights.

Hi Kathryn, we passed your comments on to the homeowner who would like to share the following: Our goal is to ensure that our guests have an exceptional stay with us and provide high standards of hospitality. We appreciate your review and we're genuinely sorry that the property didn't meet your expectations. - We aim for transparency and our property information clearly states that The Forgeman’s House is not a typical overnight destination. While featuring modern amenities like a stylish bathroom with a shower, a cozy gas fireplace, and even a convenient dishwasher, stepping into this space takes you straight into an 1820 home. Antique furniture and handcrafted reproductions fill the space, providing an authentic atmosphere. The traditional roped beds, complete with modern mattresses, offer a unique sleep experience that you and your group will always remember. We'll make sure your beds are perfectly prepared, ensuring a comfortable night's rest on these special beds. - After we were contacted by you, we immediately reached out to our Guest Contact Theresa, and it appears she didn't receive a call from you. This is truly unfortunate as she was the designated on-call person for the property during your stay. - The HVAC system functions perfectly well and we're unsure of the concern you had with it. We have direct access to the digital HVAC controls, and on that specific day, the settings were at 70 degrees with 62% humidity that day within the historic dwelling. With the exception of this review, all our other reviews have been glowing 5-star ratings with successful stays. We do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests.

Hi Tajeram, we want our guests to rest easy when they stay with us, and we apologize if you experienced some issues during your trip. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following: - We run a volunteer organization for the museum and allow a musical group to practice in our Collier's Log House on Friday evenings as part of our community outreach program. Unfortunately, the group found that the electricity was off in the Collier's Log House. - Without checking with us first, the group entered our other cabin, the Forgeman's House you had reserved, assuming it was available for them to use while they practiced their music. - This was a very unfortunate mistake and we have put internal safety procedures in place to ensure that this never happens again. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and misunderstanding. - We try our best to accommodate and provide a great environment for guests, but sometimes external factors are simply out of our control. The safety of our guests will always be our highest priority. We encourage guests to reach out to the Guest Contact with any issues so that we can address your concerns quickly and encourage a comfortable stay!
