About this property

Hollow Hideaway is perfect for your holiday stay!

Hollow Hideaway is ready for the holiday's. We decorate our home to make your Thanksgiving and Christmas a memorable stay. Our guests are welcomed with a festive holiday gift basket for the month of December when they enter the home for their stay. So come stay with us and enjoy your holiday in a quaint, friendly town and celebrate in style.

Hollow Hideaway is a family-friendly home surrounding by beautiful peaceful mountains.

The home was newly restored, designed and furnished by the owners in 2023 having all the amenities you could ever need while on your stay. It is private and comfortable, offering picturesque surroundings which might even include wildlife when you least expect it. Wolfsville is a very small, private and quite town with very safe surroundings allowing you to walk, run or bike. The neighborhood is friendly and will make you feel at home. There are security cameras by front and side doors for your protection.

When designing, we thought of luxury first. The beds include brand new memory foam mattresses so you feel like you are sleeping on a cloud, covered in plush 1000 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets, a fluffy duvet comforter and firm pillows that cradle your head with comfort. Bedrooms include dressers, closets and suitcase stands for your convenience. Our bath towels are large, thick and soft to dry you after coming from a relaxing rain shower. The gourmet kitchen has everything you will need to make a simple meal for one to a Thanksgiving feast or Christmas dinner for all guests. When you wish to relax outdoors, you have a choice of relaxing on the covered porch listening to the sounds of nature while enjoying a table-top fire or sitting under the stars with a roaring fire in our open firepit, complete with grilling grate to be able to cook hot dogs, hamburgers and more outdoors over the fire. But, if you don't want to build a fire, the charcoal grill will do the same with a little less work involved.

If you are looking for something to do while you stay at our home, our surroundings have plenty of nearby activities for you to try that are only a short drive away. If history and exercise are on your agenda, Gambrill, Catoctin, Cummingham & Washington Monument State parks offer hiking, biking, informational tours and even swimming. The Battlefields of Gettysburg, Monocacy, Antietam and Harper's Ferry offer driving and walking tours rich in history on the Civil War. Historic downtown Frederick offers not only history, but restaurants, shops, parks and more to take up your day. The Appalachian trail is within walking distance from our home and High Rock Overlook in Pen-Mar Park offers beautiful views and para-sailing. In the winter months, Ski Liberty or Whitetail ski slopes offer skiing, tubing and snow- boarding. Our town streams offer trout fishing when in season and the Potomac River is perfect for kayaking & fishing as well. Shopping, restaurants, antiques and more are all within 10 to 20 minutes away and Baltimore and Washington DC are both within 70 miles. The location offers plenty of activities to fill your day or you can sit back, read a book, play a board game or play any one of 60 video games from Pac Man to Astroids on our arcade game machine as your entertainment.

If beverage tours are your thing, we have several wineries, distilleries and breweries close by. We can even book a private tour for you at any number of locations, allowing you a behind the scene access that is not available to just anyone. Just ask the property owner for assistance.

We offer FREE WIFI to all our guests and our cable services are provided by Xfinity offering over 125 channels. All TV's are smart TV's allowing you to use your accounts for streaming your favorites. Kitchen includes stove/oven, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, crock pot, toaster, Keurig, blender, mixer, coffee pot and more. Utensils & dishes are provided. Toiletry kits are included in each bedroom along with trail size dish detergent, dishwasher detergent and laundry soap. Snacks and water are available in kitchen along with coffee and creamer. Accommodations include dining table and chairs which are separate from the kitchen.

If you would like a special alcoholic beverage when you arrive, please let us know. As long as you meet the age requirements, we can have your favorite drink cold and ready for you when you check-in for an additional fee.

So cute!

I love the attention to detail. I have a neck injury so one of the days I just slept and rested and it was magical. I appreciate how clean everything was. Me and my mom and daughters take an annual girls trip and this was just what we needed. Watched movies, enjoyed the spa feel of the house and played games. The hosts were SO sweet they had left us a Christmas goody basket. I would highly recommend.

Wonderful

This was the perfect location for a visit to the area. Tucked away just enough without feeling totally isolated. Near a few cute towns for food and dinning, as well as plenty of historical sites. Loved the layout and atmosphere. Felt very comfortable and homey. Especially appreciated all the little touches (snacks, toiletries, extra towels, etc.). Overall wonderful stay.

Mother-Daughters Birthday Weekend

We spent two nights at the home. It was exactly what we needed. The home was immaculate. The beds and linens were luxurious. There was a cute amenities kit in each bedroom - such a nice, extra touch. The home is off of the beaten path so very peaceful. The gas firepit on the covered porch was perfect since we could not use the wood firepit due to drought. The decor was tasteful and restful. The kitchen was well stocked. . We were happy to meet sweet Ellie. She joined us a few times during our stay. Hopefully we will meet Squishy when we stay again...and, we will be back. Property is located in easy driving distance to several wineries, Catoctin State Park and Gettysburg. Since it is located in a pretty rural area - be mindful that there are a lot of deer on the curvy roads. After dark they were on the roads and we had two close encounters. As we were aware we avoided a "close encounter of the worst kind". Loved- Loved-Loved this property!! peaceful.

Autumn Bliss!

My mom and I absolutely loved the house, the environment, the driving. We couldn’t have asked for anything more; the owners thought of everything. I especially appreciated the bar in the step-in shower. So thoughtful. We may try to make our visit an annual event!

Relaxing, Clean Getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The home was spotless, and so well appointed. I am big on cleanliness, and this house was pristine. The living room was so comfy, and the front porch was a nice place to relax and see the stars. We are from Chicago, and normally stay with relatives when visiting the area. It was great to visit family, and then come back to this little oasis.In addition the home is right by the Appalachian Trail. We will definitely be back.

Lovely House

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hollow Hideaway. It is a cozy and tastefully decorated home with comfortable beds and sofas. It was super clean and stocked with everything that we needed. The house is in a quiet area but is close enough to take trips to several nearby towns. We spent time in Shepherdstown, Harper's Ferry, Frederick, and Westminster. Suzanne is a great host who communicated well with us. This home is a gem!

Best Friends Trip

What an incredible place! This was such a great location for hiking on the Appalachian Trail. The home was warm, clean, and comfortable. We had everything we needed to cook and relax in the evenings. The outdoor areas were especially enjoyable. We enjoyed sitting on the porch even in the cooler, rainy weather. The hosts were incredibly responsive, helpful, and flexible! Thanks for helping make such a great trip! If you are visiting wine country or hiking in the area-I highly recommend this home!

Weekend visit

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this property! Suzanne and her husband have truly thought of everything from cozy and comfortable furnishings, decor, kitchen amenities to snacks and a welcome gift. There isn’t much close by so maybe do shopping ahead of time but we joked that we could get to a store, restaurant, museum, brewery in just 20 mins in either direction! I would love to visit again as there is a lot to see in just a weekend! Great for a couples get away or girlfriends!

Why they chose this property

Hollow Hideaway is our homeplace. It was a part of our family farm, handled down thru the family allowing us to finally purchase and keep in the family. We love the town and the people in it and wouldn't leave for any reason.

What makes this property unique

I thought of comfort and cleanliness first when we designed our home. I spared no expense on furniture, mattresses, sheets and towels to make our home luxurious. I make sure the home is sanitized before each guest arrives and our neighborhood is quite and quaint.
