Guesthouse holiday rentals in Frederick County

I stayed for a little over a month while waiting to close on my house and really enjoyed it. Rani left out fresh fruit and provided breakfast items that came in handy and saved me some money on eating out. I slept comfortably each night and the radiator in the bathroom is better than any space heater. When I was feeling a little down I’d pop out back and watch the horses and a cute pair of cardinals. The view is gorgeous. I also became friendly with sweet gray cat and their bouncy, adorable dogs. All this made it feel like being at home. Rani was kind, welcoming, and warm in every interaction. Some after work chats were such a good reprieve from the stress of the office. 10/10 place.

My family had an idyllic time here. Perfect home base for hiking and swimming at the state parks in the area. Good to know for families since it’s hard to tell in photos: - This is essentially a studio apartment, meaning there aren’t full walls that separate the bedroom from the living space so bring a white noise machine - there is wonderful natural light in the apartment but some are sky lights that will be impossible to cover for naptime. That being said, we had a wonderful time with our 4mo old and 4 year old. They have hummingbirds and birds of all colors and lots of instruments, games, and art to experiment with. If your kids are between crawling age to 3 yrs old, all the things in the apartment may stress you out, but it was perfect for a curious 4 year old. We walked the art hike in the backyard at least once a day, which our dog loved, and Sarah even set us up with their firepit to make s’mores. Magical! Truly a trip to remember! We hope to visit again!

The lovely “cottage” on Deb‘s property was gorgeous, serene & just what the dr ordered for this exhausted DC mom! Deb couldn’t have been more welcoming; provided an amazing spread of fresh fruits, cookies, a lemon cake, wine, bagels w/cream cheese & OJ in the fridge. Super appreciated as we didn’t arrive until 9:30PM the 1st night. The 1st few days, my teen son & I enjoyed the tranquility of the property, including the refreshing pool & plenty of fun activities nearby. Then, my husband (who had to work), picked up our son so I cld decompress & have a couple much-needed days to hang out w/girlfriends who joined me @ the cottage. Although our last full day was a tad rainy, it didn’t deter us from having a delish brunch in town, checking out the arts festival by the canal & stepping into some cool stores on the main st of vibrant Frederick. Deb‘s accommodations were uber-plush; by far the most luxurious AirBnB I’ve ever stayed in. Thank you so much for the cathartic reset, Deb! 😮‍💨

This is a beautiful, private place with amazing nature. We saw deer and hummingbirds, and they were pretty close to us. This place has a wonderful cat (Mr. Moo) who will give you much love! It is a bummer that we didn’t see dogs, but we got to see the chickens and got eggs from them! Amazing place! Although we may not hear beautiful sounds like others mentioned, we felt the peace and mindless presence. We enjoyed our time, and it was a perfect place for our short retreat.

Incredible home away from home!!! It's hard to describe all the little things they have to make your stay pleasant and comfortable. They have everything that u can think off and some more, even a nail clipper, board games, laundry room with soap etc etc. We stayed only for a night, but loved every minute there!!!

The bed is probably the most important thing for us when choosing a rental. The master bedroom bed was excellent. The second bedroom, not so much. But if you don’t have back issues, it’s ok. We are really bed snobs 🥺

Really nice and comfortable place to stay. The host was attentive and welcoming. I recommend this place.

This was the perfect spot for our stay. It was close to family we were visiting. There were plenty of restaurant options and Gettysburg was close by so we were able to see some history. We’ll be going back next year.

Lovely place to stay. Loved seeing the donkeys!

Enjoyed our stay, wish we had more time. It was very peaceful and relaxing. A good spot to travel to Frederick and Emmitsburg. Loved the ambiance when we checked in with music and snacks waiting for us for our visit!

We loved staying at Dustin’s place! It was the perfect place for a weekend getaway. It was in a great location for beautiful views but also things to do (breweries nearby and a concert in town on Saturday). Dustin was incredibly responsive and wanted to ensure we had a great time. Would definitely recommend this place to others!!

Joyce is an excellent host and fort Ritchie is an amazing place to stay. We’d love to come back!

Space was great. Spacious and nicely modernized into a little house, within a historic building and former military base. Beautiful surroundings with a bar and grill and a breakfast and lunch restaurant in easy walking distance. Hoat communicated well and told us we could check in a little early which was great for having a little down time between soccer games.
