Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Christa Kampert
Originally from Pittsburgh, we have been in the Baltimore / Howard County area for years raising two wonderful children. We bought this place in 2020 and worked hard to save it from ruin as it was just an empty shell. We restored the cottage in a historically sensitive way allowing for modern conveniences.
Why they chose this property
The history and proximity to the river and Old Ellicott City were irresistible for us.
What makes this property unique
In the heart of Maryland, Old Ellicott City calls with its rich offerings that blend history and modern charm. Its streets are lined with an array of eclectic shops, inviting art and shopping galleries, and vibrant venues, while a calendar bursting with events ensures there's always something exciting to experience. For those seeking a thrill, the town's haunted history adds an eerie allure, complemented by spirited pub crawls.
Nature enthusiasts find solace in the surrounding valley, offering exhilarating mountain biking trails and the serene Trolley Trail #9 for the less adventuresome. As you venture further, the sprawling Patapsco River unveils 32 miles of exploration for avid mountain bikers and curious explorers alike, with every house booking contributing 5% to the preservation efforts of Friends of Patapsco State Park.
Culinary adventures are equally abundant, ranging from the delectable offerings at Phoenix Emporium (best burger in town). Umi Sushi (best lunch special in town), La Palapa (spicy margaritas), Georgia Grace (breakfast and breakfast cocktails), Manor Hill (brew pub specializing in Holy Smoke pizza and Bird is the Word sandwich), Ellicott City Distillery (go with the vodka), to the enchanting Wine Bin for Sunday movie nights, craft beer and artisan cheeses. The Judges Bench offers a haven for beer enthusiasts and live music aficionados, while the Cozy Cafe's "Special" coffee warms the soul. Just steps away from our place are the Old Mill Cafe and the Trolley Stop. A leisurely stroll along the trolley trail unveils the inviting aroma of daily-baked pastries at The Breadery, while the historic B&O railway station provides a captivating window into the town's past. Indulgence awaits at Crazy Mason and Park Ridge Creamery, two must-visit spots for irresistible ice cream.
Antiques, boutiques, and galleys are plentiful, visit www. visitoldelicottcity .com for upcoming local events.
"OEC" is the essence of history, community, and adventure.
