with 3 bedrooms & 2 baths with many of the original fixtures in it. House fully equipped with all that you need to make your stay enjoyable.

Relax on the wraparound screen porch in front or one outside the kitchen. Back door opens onto a deck overlooking ponds, fields, forest and the deer in the evenings. Wake up listening to the birds, go to sleep with the frogs singing. Beautiful sunrises & sunsets, sky full of stars. This is a rural area, no streetlights or next-door neighbors.
If you are looking for a peaceful, quiet getaway this is the place.
Great place if you are looking for a quiet, peaceful relaxing get away from traffic & noise. No next-door neighbors to disturb you.

House built 1920 so rooms are cozy but there are lots of nooks & crannies for everyone to find their own space to relax or work.
There are some older board games available around house.

Step back in time, The L-shaped house is a two story with a hip roof and three bedrooms with two bathrooms built in 1920. Farmhouse has many of the original items in it, hardwood floors, mantels, trim, staircase, lights, doors, windows shutters, and many more. There is even a closet that has been left with the horsehair plaster & lathes to show how the entire house was built. If you are so inclined Barbara will be happy to tell you about the history of the house & Simmons family or you can read about them in the book at the house...there are pictures of what the house looked like before restorations began.

There is a security camera at the side door where keyless entry is.
This is a Pet Free, Smoke & Vape Free house/property. no cigarettes, cigars or marijuana. A $250. Additional cleaning fee will be charged if done on property.

Trip home for Father medical emergency
Thank goodness for this lovely farmhouse. Our father had a medical emergency that landed him in the hospital. My brother, and I rushed home to Maryland from Oklahoma with our children and my granddaughter to see him and spend time with him as much as we could why he (hopefully) got better. This was the perfect place for us to be able to relax after stressful days at the hospital. Barbara checked in regularly and made sure we had everything we needed. Being able to cook family dinners and relax helped us get through such a trying time. Thank you so much! Dad is now moved to a rehabilitation center and we could return home with some releif.

Quick visit to see family
This Property is beautiful. I need to see this in the spring! The house was so inviting and comfortable. I really wish that I had more time to spend just right there and not leave! I know that I will be back to the area and I hope to stay right there! Linda Harris

About the host

Hosted by Barbara Burnett

Host profile image
My farmhouse went under its current renovation last year & was opened for guests in May 2022, I am new to being a host, but everyone is treated like my family or friends.
I am very familiar with hosting people to the farm as it was considered a destination farm where we grew flowers, herbs, etc. My husband was the county's Broom Maker making handmade brooms on 1884 equipment.

The farm, The Calvert Homestead, which I live on is very special. Not only is the land in a preservation program which means it can never be broken up, the farmhouse, on this land and is part of the Historic registry of Calvert County. Taking care of the farmhouse, land and gardens brings me great enjoyment. Growing vegetables, flowers & making jams & jellies for family and friends is something I have been doing for many years. Sharing the beauty & peacefulness of the farm and what Southern Maryland has to offer with others is important to me.
