About this property

“Oliver’s Retreat”...1882 Private Downtown Apartment in Historic Frederick

“Be our guest”...Our home is a historic 1882 3-story townhome in downtown Frederick. While we (John & Sarah) live on the bottom 2 levels, we’d love to welcome you to your own private apartment on the 3rd floor. The space is lovely and is comprised of 4 rooms...a family room, full kitchenette, full bathroom with shower, and a queen bedroom. The front door is shared with the owners, but once inside, the stairs (32 total) lead directly up to your completely private apartment. We have a keyless keypad for your privacy.

Location, location, location! The home is located on a quiet, residential street only 1 block from all the action on Market Street and downtown Frederick. You are literally walking distance to dozens of fantastic restaurants, bars, shops, Baker Park, Culler Lake, Carroll Creek, etc. We offer free parking for 2 vehicles.

While we look forward to welcoming you to Frederick and are available if you have questions, we value the privacy of our guests. Interaction with the owners is up to you. We want you to feel at home, relax, and enjoy.

Please keep in mind, we do have a sweet 13 year old shihpoo, Oliver. He does not shed because he is part poodle. He is a sweetheart and spends most of his day sleeping.

As for your apartment...

Bedroom: Queen bed with hypoallergenic pillows and comforter for 2 people. We provide all sheets, blankets and towels. There is a chair and bench for your luggage.

Family Room: a big, comfy sectional to relax. We have sheets, blankets and pillows for 2 more people. After a full day exploring, we hope you kick your feet up and relax in front of the tv (with cable).

Kitchenette: Frederick has a TON of great restaurants. However, if you’re in the mood to eat in, we provide all the basics!! In the kitchenette you’ll find a small refrigerator, sink, microwave/toaster oven, hot plate burner, coffee maker (with coffee), and plenty of table service.

Bathroom with shower (no tub), towels and wash cloths a plenty!

House was clean and the location was amazing for our weekend in Frederick! Only think I would mention the bedroom has a lot of really great natural light so if you want to sleep in - bring a sleep mask, it’s a bright early morning!

The apartment was a perfect, cozy spot to relax and enjoy our vacation. The town of Frederick is vibrant, fun, and friendly. The hosts were extremely welcoming, easily accessible and made the whole process extremely easy. The apartment had plenty of space, it was clean and very comfortable! The bed was comfy, and it was nice to have the separate living area too. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. We had a wonderful time! And love to Oliver! :)

A wonderful getaway!

Oliver’s Retreat was a lovely place to spend the weekend. The location was wonderful, easy walking distance to restaurants, shops and the Weinberg theater. The apartment was clean, spacious and very comfortable. Parallel parking in front of the home was free on the weekends. The owner, Sarah, was very friendly and welcoming. We highly recommend staying here.

Cozy Spot Downtown

We had a lovely time at Oliver's retreat. The host was accommodating and easy to get in touch with. The location is perfect, minutes from downtown restaurants and pubs. And the home is historic and has a nice scent of oak wood.
