Let us be your home base as you shop, dine and discover historic downtown Frederick including wineries, orchards, Revolutionary and Civil war heritage sites, Farmer's Markets and many museums. Downtown Frederick also boasts a host of nightlife activities for those who enjoy going out after dark.

Things to do in the Frederick Area

Nestled in the rolling foothills of the Blue Ridge and Catoctin Mountains you will be less than one hour from Washington, DC and Baltimore, Maryland and minutes from Gettysburg, Antietam and Harper's Ferry. A trip to the big city isn’t necessary for history buffs. Tour the National Museum of Civil War Medicine or the Revolutionary Hessian Barracks, or the grounds of Monocacy National Battlefield. Travel to nearby Antietam, Gettysburg, Harper’s Ferry, or South Mountain Battlefield.

If nature is more your pleasure, hike or bike the trails of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Catoctin Mountain Park or the C&O Canal or take in the waterfalls at Cunningham Falls State Park. A tour of downtown Frederick’s historic architecture, public arts, the Community Bridge and murals makes a great day trip. Frederick has been named one of “America’s Dozen Distinctive Destinations:,” “Great Places in America,” and a “Preserve America” community.

Performing Arts & Music
The city of Frederick is a recognized Maryland Arts and Entertainment District. Take in a play, concert or dance performance at the Weinberg Center for the Arts. Across the street you’ll find a more intimate experience at the Maryland Ensemble Theater featuring a main stage series of original and contemporary plays, comedies improve troupes, and a family theater series. If a dinner theater is more to your liking visit the Way-Off Broadway Dinner Theater.

Lovers of live music will want to visit downtown Frederick after 9 pm on weekends. Shoppers will love boutiques, specialty shops and antique emporiums in downtown Frederick. It’s a short drive to one of the nearby antique meccas, such as New Market, Mt Airy, Middletown, Emmitsburg and Thurmont. Sample Frederick’s nationally acclaimed wines at wine festivals held throughout the year.

Summers in Frederick are magical with wonderful arts events. The Frederick Festival of the Arts features more than 100 artists and dozens of musical offerings. Frederick also boasts a great Summer Concert Series which launches its annual season of weekly Sunday night concerts in beautiful Baker Park. On Thursday mornings in late June, July and August, Summerfest Family Theater features professionally produced children’s entertainment there as well. On Thursday nights the Carroll Creek Amphitheater heats up with the sounds of live music during Alive @ Five for those over 21.

Visual Arts
Frederick offers fine arts venues such as the Delaplaine Visual Arts Education Center featuring diverse art exhibits in an exciting location. Equally engaging are the many privately-owned galleries and shops specializing in original paintings, pottery, jewelry and artistically executed home accessories. The city landscape provides dozens of public art projects where you will find more than 30 murals and sculptures.

Sports
If baseball is your favorite pass-time, take in an evening at the Frederick Keys Stadium. The Class A Minor League farm team of the Baltimore Orioles offers fireworks, kids’ activities and a family friendly environment. Enjoy some of Frederick’s top golf courses including Musket Ridge, Maryland National, Whiskey Creek, Links of Gettysburg, Clustered Spires, P.B. Dye, Worthington Manor, Challedon, and many more.

Landmarks
Visit the National Shrine of Elizabeth Ann Seton, the first American born canonized saint. A peaceful mountaintop pilgrimage to the National Shrine Grotto of Lourdes, the oldest replica of the Grotto of Lourdes in the western hemisphere is only 30 minutes away.

Specialty Shopping
We are close to the historic downtown shopping district where you will find retail entrepreneurs offering hand selected merchandise. One Hundred stores are located on Market, Patrick and East streets specializing in a diverse array of goods including: clothing, gifts, outdoor gear, toys, jewelry, chocolate, skateboards, furniture, fine home accessories, fresh cut flowers, hosiery, stationery, imports and more. Nationally-recognized stores are located in malls, shopping centers, and nearby outlets such as the Hagerstown and Leesburg Prime Outlets.

Diners can expect Maryland and Chesapeake-style fare, dishes prepared with local ingredients, urban-chic restaurants with sophisticated entrees and ambiance and authentic international cooking from all corners of the globe. Downtown Frederick is a showcase of the culinary arts where 30 dining establishments stand ready to please your palate. Many are close to major attractions. Local restaurants also host daily happy hours and many beer or wine dinners, featuring local wine and craft beers. Live music and open mic nights also contribute to a lively nightlife.

Outdoor Activities
Northern Frederick County is home to Catoctin Mountain National Park, Cunningham Falls State Park and Gambrill State Park. Each offers exciting outdoor experiences and breathtaking scenery. You can enjoy wildlife, wildflowers, historic buildings, hiking trails, scenic drives, tent and cabin camping, boating, swimming, fly-fishing and cross country skiing.

Park experiences available in western Frederick County combine natural beauty with history. At Gathland State Park you’ll see the War Correspondents Memorial Arch and learn about the life of George Alfred Townsend a Civil War correspondent whose estate was once located on the site. The Appalachian Trail traverses Gathland as well as Washington Monument state Park, the first national tribute to the father of Our Country. The C&O Canal provides hiking and biking and also offers insight into transportation and trade in the 1800s. Nearby, the majestic Potomac River offers scenic beauty as well as thrilling whitewater rafting experiences.

Enjoy the agriculture experience at one of the many orchards, farms, vineyards or farmer’s markets. Pick your own fruits or vegetables or try a creamery treat from the farm. In fall, try one of several corn mazes, harvest festivals and uniquely charming events that Frederick County has to offer.

This was a great place to stay to getaway and have privacy. The Host was so kind and went out of her way when I was not feeling well. It was extremely clean and you can even use the pool and spa. I would highly recommend staying there and it can accommodate more than just 2 people. We would definitely stay there again! Karen Meck

Great family Vacation in Beautiful Retreat

This is a fancy retreat, the host has decorated this house very elegantly and throughly. The breakfast goodies to start you off is a very nice touch. Deborah is a kind host and very reaponsive. For our family the one bathroom was challenging at times, but the overall space was more than adequate. The bedrooms were spacious and the kitchen was well equipped.

Perfect Writer's Retreat

We were in search of a last minute get-away for some intense writing and this was the perfect choice. Quiet, comfortable, welcoming - just what we needed. Be aware that the pool and hot tub are across the driveway behind the main house but do NOT let this put you off. Deb and family were discrete and we hardly knew they were there. I am looking forward to planning a return visit.

Great stay for a wedding

Our family was able to stay together while we attended a wedding of close family friends. We had a leisurely morning by the pool. There was plenty of room and the decor was lovely. The host was exceptionally responsive and the touches of hospitality (wine and cheese; continental breakfast; donuts) made our stay very pleasant! I would stay here again if I had the opportunity!

Pool & Hot Tub!!!

It is a beautiful property. We enjoyed being able to use the pool & hot tub! A nice place to just relax for a week! We were welcomed with music, a welcome sign & some nice treats. We used the kitchen to cook most of our meals. We would have loved to have had an open shelf in the pantry to put our non-perishable food on for the week. Instead our food sat on the floor in the boxes and the bags we brought because the pantry, cupboards & island were filled with kitchen items & décor items. Other than that the kitchen worked well. Daily, we enjoyed the coffee & tea area as well as the filter water from the refrigerator door. It is definitely an adults only type of place because of some provocative décor & the many breakable decorations.

Posh Accommodations

It is a luxurious guest house suitable for several adults or couples. The owner is gracious and thoughtful in the amenities she provides. The house is located very conveniently to Frederick, as well as highways to various local sites. It wouldn't be my first choice for families with young children (lots of breakables) or those with severe mobility issues (very tall bedding), but for everyone else it should be wonderful.

Great house in a peaceful location

Seamless communication with manager. Ample parking. Clean guest house in a very quiet area with comfortable beds. Short 10 min drive to Frederick. Kitchen was nice but not quite as stocked as we would have hoped (only one frying pan). Flow of the home is a little odd with one bedroom upstairs with no bathroom, and three bedrooms downstairs between kitchen and family room, but still a great place to stay and would consider renting again if in the area again.

About the host

Hosted by Grove Management LLC

Host profile image
My husband was born and lived all of his life in Frederick. I moved to Frederick in 1968 and never left. We began building our life together in 1973. When we retired, he was an accountant and I was part owner of an Engineering and IT firm. We bought this property in 2005 because it had a large estate on five acres with a 2000 square foot building shell in the back of our property. I designed the buiding with several purposes in mind. Initially, I needed space for my engineering firm so I designed a large entryway and four rooms (to be used a offices), a full kitchen, and a full bath. When my company eventually outgrew the building, I converted it back into a home for my mother. After she was no longer able to take care of herself, it was time to use it for visiting family and friends. I also opened it up on VRBO and AirBnB to fill in the vacancies........ and we never looked back.
