30th Wedding Anniversary Weekend

The General Store was a neat house, from the red brick to the inside windows. The hosts were more than welcoming with Country Music(Our Fave)playing, candle burning and nice temperature. The gift basket and cookies were so yummy.

More than advertised! A country store converted to a dream destination.

We arrived at the property and were already in awe of the location. Our hosts Paula and Diane had a welcome basket waiting for us when we entered their incredible general store. It was well appointed and had a great kitchen. They thought of everything. Oh, the cookies they left for us, my kids are still talking about them. The light there at sunset and the star filled skies were breathtaking. Looking west was a view of the Blue Ridge mountains. A great place to get away from everything. Staying in isn't for you? Gettysburg, PA is a short drive north and Frederick, MD is about the same distance south. Battlefields, antiques, wine tasting tours of vineyards, sight-seeing and about anything you'd like. We spent the afternoon in Washington DC with the kids, coming home to this little hideaway was a real treat. Did i mention its surrounded by several lovingly restored homes? We waited to post this. We loved it so much, we didnt want to miss our next chance to visit. We know when the word gets out about this special place, Paul and Diane will be making new friends every week. We are already booking our next visit. You might want to book one too.

Wonderful getaway

Paul and Diane did a wonderful job converting this old general store into a sweet retreat. Lovely layout with everything you need. We appreciated the over the top items like pantry staples, snacks, eggs and even butter. We were greeted with fresh flowers, fluffy towels and a comfy bed. It was unique to have the upstairs sleeping area which meant one of us could rise earlier than the other (2 full bathrooms). Beautiful 25 min rural drive to Gettysburg. Taneytown just 10-15 minutes away for groceries, restaurants, antique mall... Will come again. Thank you!
