This is a really pretty tiny house in a beautiful settlement from the 1700s. Really nice cooking set up, fresh eggs from the neighbors, everything perfectly clean and just so.

The property and cottage our lovely, set in a woodland garden , very peaceful. It's thoughtfully stocked with everything you need. The kitchen has everything you need to cook a gourmet meal, have tea or coffee. Maryland was experiencing a heat wave and our host installed an air conditioner for our arrival , so kind and thoughtful . The lush landscape keeps you cool though. It's an enchanting space and just what we needed to unwind and regroup during our family visit to Maryland and D.C. Thank you for openlng up your property .

John's place is nothing short of phenomenal. Upon arrival you'll feel like time just slowed down a bit. The drive leading up to the cottage is lined with greenery and the cottage itself is juxtaposed to the scenic, lush backdrop that his property provides. The cottage itself has plenty of nice, modern upgrades to include a smart TV, plenty of lighting, and if you're into cooking, an awesome gas stove. The kitchen is roomy, there is a washer AND dryer, and the bed is amazingly comfy. Without a doubt, the value being offered here is unmatched. John and his family are friendly and extremely detailed. They accommodated an early check-in and upon arrival had outrageously delicious scones awaiting!~ Just know, these things were better than any other scone that I've had. Wegmans? Starbucks? Don't even begin to come close! I hope that you'll get a chance to enjoy them, or whatever other baked good might be offered at the time, as well. I'd recommend that you and any of your friends looking to get away from it all, but still remain close enough to civilization to enjoy what a hustling and bustling metropolis like DC or Baltimore can offer, consider staying at John's. This is the place you're looking for. Trust me!

This quaint cottage in an idyllic setting was the basis of a quiet and very restful stay. It was finely appointed and I would have easily loved to spend more time there! The hosts were very helpful and so easy to communicate with.

We had a wonderful weekend staying here. Angie's home is beautiful and very conveniently located. Angie and her husband are very warm and friendly. I highly recommend staying here.

The host canceled this reservation 14 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

We sought a place a short drive away from Baltimore, if possible in the country side. Angie's place is a big appartment overlooking her lawn. It consists of 2 big bedrooms, a bathroom and a very big living/ TV/ sitting area. One bedroom has a very big king size bed, and the other a big queen size bed. There is also a possiblity to sleep an extra couple on a couch in the living room area. In essence, the appartment would compare to a very big suite in a deluxe hotel. The appartment was impeccable as far as cleanliness goes. However, all of the above is not what compels us to give Angie's place a five-star rating, but Angie's welcome and generosity. Angie and her husband welcomed us in a very natural way, nothing fake or exaggerated. She explained where everything in the appartment was and showed us how to reach her or her family in the event we would need anything. Angie had milk, juice and pastries and bagels for us, which she of course did not have to. It was Angie´s personal welcome and of course the state of her appartment that make us strongly recommend that other visitor's choose her BnB if on a visit to Baltimore or surrounding area.

The room and living space is very comfortable and clean. It is a great location if you have business in DC or Baltimore!

Lucy was very friendly and accommodating. The home was easy to find and in a beautiful neighborhood. I came pulling a trailer and there was plenty of safe off road parking. The rooms where very private and away from the main living area. I did not feel like I was disturbing them when I would get in late at night. We would stay again.

Lucy's place is perfect if you want a super quiet and secluded location. It's very suburban. Lucy is very nice and welcomed us quite graciously. We only stayed one night so it really was a spot for us to sleep (3 friends), which worked out perfectly. We ate at a cute pub just 5 minutes away. It's quite dark and winding on the roads if you are driving at night. One note for future guests is that the path to the entry was very steep. Maybe an issue for some, although Lucy does have a front door. Thanks Lucy!

I stayed at this location for approx. 2 months. For the extended period I stayed in, this location/room worked out perfect for me. There is more than enough room to feel completely at ease. Lucy is an excellent host who not only cares about your comfort, but also goes the extra mile to make you feel at home. I'm so glad that I chose this location and had such a comfortable stay. Would highly recommend this place whether you plan on staying short time or for extended periods! The location is convenient to Baltimore and DC and belongs in an area which not only is peaceful and quiet but very upscale and safe also. The kitchenette is decently stocked along with a large refrigerator and hotplate for extended and comfortable stay. The room is large with a walk in closet. There is more than enough room here. Thank you Lucy for an excellent stay!

Great stay, Lucy was accommodating and made sure I had everything I needed.

My Host was great made feel at home. Very private, respected my privacy, always making sure that, I had everything I needed. Lucy was the best.

This serene sanctuary really is a "home away from home" as the listing says. The bedroom/bathroom suite with private balcony where I stayed is beautiful, private, spacious, and peaceful. Xi and family are a delight - very welcoming and kind, easy going and friendly. They did so many things to make my stay great and at the same time I had all the privacy I needed. They also welcomed me to use other sections of the house, including the kitchen, refrigerator, and a truly stunning sun room with spacious deck to rejuvenate. The location is ideal and so convenient, a few minutes from Columbia and just a short drive to Baltimore or DC. It's a great, relaxing oasis for a business trip or vacation. I would definitely stay here again!

Great

My wife and I were visiting family in the area and needed a place to stay for eight nights. Lucy was a gracious host. She made us feel welcomed and she looked out for all of our needs. She even offered to do laundry for us. The room and bath were clean and exceeded our expectations. Communication with Lucy before and during our stay was easy. Lucy looked out for us, even texting us to be careful driving home one night when there was spotty fog in the area. We will stay with Lucy when we are back in the area. Thank you Lucy and family for the Christmas present. Alan and Susan

Martha and Kevin are Amazing hosts who have a beautiful house. They made us feel welcome even before we arrived. They went above and beyond expectations. The highland getaway was spotless and felt like our own home We can't thank you enough for such a great stay. We will return in 2017 and hope to meet you both in person.

This is an excellent place of refuge and relaxation. Nestled in a rural area of trees and wildlife, this retreat is perfect for individuals and couples looking for a peaceful getaway.

The pictures truly do not do this place justice. It is serene, modern, and absolutely beautiful. Martha and Kevin were gracious hosts who provided snacks and even wine, and it was meticulously neat and clean. We loved the board game options and all the extras they included. The space features huge, sprawling windows that offer magnificent sunlight and views of nature, but do note that there aren't curtains, so privacy could be limited. Overall, we rate this place 5 stars and would hands down recommend it to anyone!

Martha and Kevin were excellent hosts! Very quick response times and also very accommodating. The house was very beautiful; we felt like we were staying at the beach! The property was very well kept and all the landscaping was gorgeous. Can't wait to go back!

Martha and Kevin have put a lot of care and detail into their home and it shows! The house is a loft by the pool with plenty of space for a couple or maybe a couple with a young kid. I Lloved waking up and seeing the trees first thing in the morning! Note that there isn't a sink in the kitchenette so this isn't a good fit if you plan to cook a lot. Getting to the bathroom requires a short jaunt through the charming screened porch. This was fine for me with the warm temps but not sure how it would be in the winter or cold. Maybe they close it up? But you might want to ask. A lovely restful location for retreat and relaxation!

Plenty of space in a serene, tranquil wooded setting. Accessing the bathroom from the porch (separate from the main living/sleeping area) was unexpected. Otherwise a fine value and restful location.

This magical place is so peaceful and scenic! You will sleep on the most comfortable bed ever, and the large windows showcase the beauty of the landscape. Kevin and Martha were very thorough in making sure my stay was thoroughly enjoyable. I am a musician in town for Navy band auditions and they were very welcoming to my practicing in the guest house. I hope it is available for when the next audition comes up!

Martha and Kevin are amazing hosts. Any questions i had they responded quickly and communicated very well. Our cats absolutely loved the porch and the upstairs space, as did we. They thought of everything you could possibly need including wonderful treats, coffee, wine. Fresh flowers on thr table. Surrounded by woods and absolutely relaxing. It was quiet, private. Very well set up and clean. Not too far from Baltimore, or DC. It was a pleasure meeting them both and I definitely recommend staying here and will again if I need a break from everything.

Five stars all the way. Shauna was an amazing host and her cottage was exactly what I needed. On a beautiful piece of land that is worthy of a spot in better homes and gardens. Private and secluded, yet somehow perfectly placed so that drives to Frederick, Baltimore and D.C. are all super quick. And somehow no traffic! Not only would I repeat, I've already scheduled my next visit. A must stay if you're in the area.

Beautiful property, rolling hills, big flagstone patio on open field... wonderful and responsive host.... great value and great for a family.

Quite, clean and nice.

This was an amazing place, a lot larger than it seems in the picture. It is a separate house, but the host is nearby and responds very quickly to any request. There is TV and the WIFi now, but most of all I loved seeing lots birds and other wildlife. I enjoyed coming back here every night throughout the week after work to find no distractions and to read a book before going to bed. I think it's the type of resort I would like to come back to from time to time.

Shauna's cottage was more than we could've hoped for. It perfectly suited our needs, and was just a cozy as the photos suggested. Shauna was a fantastic hostess. She was very welcoming, and is great at communicating with her guests. I look forward to returning soon!

Absolutely fabulous cozy place to crash. Beautiful downstairs bedroom and very spacious upstairs bedroom with room for more blow up matresses. I wish the kitchen was stocked with a few more essentials, but Shauna was so sweet she dropped off olive oil, salt and pepper for us at our door step even before we woke up! She was great to communicate with, even stayed up late to text us and make sure we arrived safely on our journey to Virginia. We only had the pleasure of staying one night, but we definitely want to come back for many more. It is a safe neighborhood, although I wish it was a little closer to Baltimore. Very out of the way of the stress of city life. And everything was clean (the downstairs bathroom was beautiful btw!!) and warm and comfortable, like home away from home. Even the heat can be adjusted, which was great for us. We hope to stay here again:)

Shauna ' s cottage was clean, modern and beautiful. Its located only 30 minutes from the Glenmont metro station (very convenient for traveling into dc). When we arrived she already had inflatable beds set up for each of us and had clean linens on each bed. She provided us with bagels, farm fresh apples and orange juice for breakfast. She also provided a key and gave directions to a very conveniently located shopping center nearby. She was very gracious about us having to delay our check-in time due to some unforseen circumstances, and responded to my messages very quickly (always offering to help us with any questions we may have about the DC area). Overall, Shauna is a wonderful host and I recommend her cottage to anyone looking for a nice place to stay in the DC/Baltimore area.

Great place in the country - peaceful and beautiful area. The cottage was lovely, we had everything we needed and plenty of space for our party of five in town for Preakness Weekend. It's a serene area but a short drive to stores and, more importantly, a Dunkin Donuts! Shauna was great to work with - prompt, pleasant, and clear communication. We had torrential rains one night and she was quick to make sure everything was OK. 1.5 baths is great and not always easy to find at a (very) decent price. Plenty of parking for our vehicles - we had four - and easy to get in and out. A very pleasant experience - highly recommend!

It was perfect! My wife, my one year old daughter and I stayed here while in town for a family reunion. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. It was quiet (except for the very friendly dogs greeting us when we pulled into the driveway), and we really felt like we had our own home. Our daughter loved the place as well.

Bella Vista Cottage is my absolute favorite getaway destination! It's comfortable, quite and secluded. I always enjoy my time here and Claire is an absolute delight. I highly recommend a stay here! You too will fall in love.

Claire could not have done anything more to make our stay more enjoyable. she is very, very accomodating. The location was absolutely divine.

My husband, baby daughter, and I stayed at Claire's place for my birthday weekend. It was lovely, comfortable, homey, and private. The cottage has been done very nicely, with special attention to detail. We loved that breakfast foods were provided in the fridge, and that Claire checked ahead of time our preferences. The pool was also quite a luxury! Also, Claire was very flexible when we decided to stay a second night. All in all a wonderful time, and I'm sure we'll be back!

Claire's cottage was a great place to stay - clean, comfortable and relaxing. The small touches around the cottage make it feel like a home away from home. She was an excellent host and made us feel very welcome. I would definitely stay here again.

We loves everything about the cottage, from the stocked kitchen and treats to the homey atmosphere, comfy beds, and attentive hosts. Our little family will definitely be repeat guests!

Quiet

This was a great getaway for my wife and I. The house is small but def big on charcter. We definetly enjoyed our stay and would stay again if the opportunity presented itself.

Our stay at Camilla's was Awesome! Our host was very welcoming and a joy to be around! Very peaceful setting and pictures of space are accurate, very nice! The goodies provided were a special touch! We'll definitely be staying with Camilla again! Thank you!

Camilla was an incredible host! The room, property, area and experience was phenomenal! We will be back!

Everything is as expected. The host is great. I got very positive experience.

Camilla was a fantastic host! Her home was very welcoming and comfortable. She left snacks for our arrival and everything we could need for morning amenities. She was also very sweet with our pups and let us know she was available for anything that we would need. I would recommend her apartment to anyone looking for a wonderful place to stay in MD!

10/10 would stay here again! Camilla was amazing and very hospitable, she even stocked the place with fun drinks and snacks for me. The place was a little chilly but she had a space heater that made the place very cozy! Super cute and fun place to stay!

Camilla is a wonderful host, she is very accesible, extremely kind (she left bagels, tea, coffee, and other snacks for us). Her place is very comfortable, cozy and very accurate of what's described here. Her property and the area are amazing! A very calm town and a country area that allows you to experience some relaxed time out of any major city. I would repeat on a heartbeat. Thanks for everything!

Too cute!!! This was a great space and Camilla is so sweet....she had snacks waiting when I arrived and the bed sheets are so soft I slept like a baby.....the town looks like a storybook town cute shops and very friendly locals I highly recommend!!!!!

Great experience for my first time using AirBnB. Next time I'm in the area I'll be staying there again

I had an extended stay with Dhaval, Freny, and their wonderful boys. The accommodations were great. It featured a large bedroom with closet space and a computer desk, a living room sitting area, countertop kitchenette with microwave and refrigerator, private bath and access to washer and dryer. Side door access to this basement apartment made me feel like this was my humble abode. Dhaval and Freny were so amazing hosts. The communicated with me throughout my entire 6 week stay, offered Sunday breakfast with them and their family, while at the same time, gave me the privacy I desire while on business. I would recommend this listing for anyone looking to stay in the Columbia, MD area. Thanks again, guys.

Greeted upon arrival - very gracious and welcoming. The accommodations were as described - excellent value, like a private suit, plenty of comfortable space, great location with easy access to Columbia, Baltimore, DC - very modern, clean, inviting - a home away from home.

Host was well communicated, very friendly. The place was nice, clean as it was described. Overall a very pleasant stay. Thank you very much!

I was reminded to collect the keys when the booking time had started. My guests had a late flight and I had informed the same and the hosts were accommodating. If you are in he Columbia area, you should try this place.

Dhaval and his wife were warm and welcoming hosts. They were great communicators before my arrival and, once I was there, checked in with me periodically to make sure everything was okay. Their studio apartment was perfect in every way -- cheerfully decorated, well furnished and completely private. Their home is located in a quiet neighborhood that is quite accessible to shops and restaurants. The area is quite beautiful and I enjoyed being there on a sunny spring weekend with all the trees in bloom. I will definitely stay there again when I am in the area.

I was welcomed and warmly greeted upon arrival and shown the spacious, clean, happy, well decorated studio. Communication was great. Very nice family, neighborhood and studio. Convenient to everything I needed.

Freny was very welcoming! She showed me around the space and let me know where everything could be found. The English Basement was very cozy and the bed was comfortable. We stayed down the block from a friend of ours and walked back and forth often - the neighborhood is lovely! Freny and Dhaval responded to my messaged almost immediately!

Nice quiet place to stay. I've stayed a number of times and always had a good experience.

My second stay with Tara and Sergio was great! I felt very comfortable and safe. It was home away from home. I highly recommend either one of the bedroom options.

Tara & Sergio were very friendly and welcoming. Their home is clean and comfortable. I had a wonderful and relaxing stay. I'd recommend this listing, in fact I've already booked another stay.

Tara & Sergio's place was absolutely beautiful. The neighborhood is quiet, the house was spotless and the bed was comfortable. Very close to the pavilion and several eating options. I'd love to stay there again any time there's a concert I'm interested in seeing.

I definitely enjoyed my stay! Super clean. Friendly hosts. Extra comfy bed. Really cool fixtures in the newly remodeled bathroom. Refreshing color theme in bedroom and bathroom. Relaxing eatting space. Looking forward to my next stay with Tara and Sergio. Thank you! Sierra

I had a very nice stay. They have every set perfectly for their guests. The room & bathroom was spotless. I didn't get to meet Tara & Sergio but hope to on my next visit. Stay with them. You won't be disappointed.

Tara and Sergio are SO nice! They are bilingual in English and Spanish. They greeted us upon check in, showed us around (&how everything worked), and even gave local recommendations for things to do and restaurants (for literally any type of food we asked about!) The room is super comfortable, clean, have lots of natural light and simply beautiful. Also, the bathroom is gorgeous with everything you could possible need (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothpaste ETC.)! Everything was exactly as pictured, probably even better in person. Very nice amenities, bed is very comfy, and the hosts were very accommodating! Perfectly situated between D.C. and Baltimore. We walked to get coffee in the morning before we left, pretty close & it was delicious. If you're looking for a GREAT place to stay on a budget, don't look any further, this listing is a steal. I will DEFINITELY be back here when I am in town again.

Tara & Sergio's place is great. It was very clean and nice. I felt right at home. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was also nice and clean. I would stay here over and over. I definitely recommend.

Great stay, beautiful home and excellent hosts.

Rose is a very welcoming and kind host that was very easy to talk too, great room, and very comfortable bed!

Nice room in a quiet neighborhood was all I was looking for.. Rose is a very accommodating host, she worked with the last minute change and made sure there was everything I needed..

It was great. She is very nice and the room was very accommodating.

Rose throws it all out there and opens her home to you. There is no fear of feeling like a stranger in her house.

Rose is a great person, full of energy, kindness and attentions. We have become almost instantly good friends. Her house is great, a beautiful location, close to a handy supermarket, among nice houses, squirrels and many trees. My room was really cool, a big bed, very comfortable, and had a bathroom on my own. If you happen to be in Columbia, it's a particularly enjoyable staying which I do recommend.

Rose is an exceptional host, She is very welcoming and friendly. Her place is exactly as described. The area is quiet and peaceful.

Rose is one of the nicest people I've met. She makes sure throughout your stay that you are comfortable. The world would be a Better to lace with more people like her. Very nice and makes You feel at home in her home. The room was comfortable and communication with her was excellent. Highly recommend!

Rose has a comfortable home and she made me feel welcome. Room and townhouse were clean. Rose provided coffee, tea, and juice plus fruit. The townhouse is located minutes from Colombia Mall so that was very convenient.

I rented the suite on this historic farm for my out-of-town friend. I can't even adequately express how perfect it was and how wonderful the hosts are! The photos could never do this place justice, and I highly recommend this option for a stay in Ellicott City.

unfortunately it was only a very short stay this time, nevertheless I did not hesitate to book my stay with Kristin and Stewart. What can I say? it feels like going back home!

We stayed with Kristin for several days leading up to our wedding on October 17th. The space was absolutely lovely, in an old historic farm house, and Kristin was so welcoming. When we arrived she had left a bottle of bubbly for us to celebrate with, and invited us to tour the grounds, which were stunning: horses and chickens and donkeys, woods and a pond. It was quiet and clean, the internet worked great, and she was so kind in leaving us breakfasts which we were terrible at not eating because we usually slept in late and then went rushing over to my family's house up the road to take care of wedding preparations. There was a Keurig coffee maker available in the mornings for us to use. I would highly recommend her home, and thank her so much for the hospitality!

This was our second stay and we're planning to return in March. My wife and I cannot say enough about the accommodations and setting of this place! Kristin is a wonderful host, and her property is a sanctuary.

My husband booked the farm for me as a birthday surprise. Kristin met us outside and welcomed me. She was so sweet and immediately put me at ease. The room was clean and lovely and warm. The fireplace was fabulous. Breakfast was AMAZING! Farm fresh eggs and honey. She was so accommodating and kind. I had a fantastic stay. So relaxing.

What an inspiring place to stay! We very much enjoyed our weekend away. Jen and I came here for a nearby music festival and having such a peaceful place to stay was the perfect complement. In the morning, I had fun feeding the horses and playing with the dog and Jen enjoyed resting and doing yoga by the lake. We also enjoyed the muffins, fresh fruit and cheeses. Kristin and Stewart are very thoughtful.

This place is a little corner of paradise: is close to everything but at the same time is in the middle of a patch of green where you will be able to relax after spending your day touring the area. Kristin is a fantastic host: she will go out of her way to make you feel welcome and to make sure that you are enjoying your stay. I'd reccomend this place to all of my friends without any reservations.

We booked this for my in laws. It was amazing. The farm is full of animals that are beautiful and friendly, and the host is truly incredible. The space is beautiful, and the fridge was completely stocked. I can't think of a more wonderful place to stay.
