Heaven

The property is AMAZING. The cottage is small but has everything you could need. It is quaint and charming and the wall AC units are remarkably strong. The bed was very comfortable and the WiFi was good for remote work. If you are looking for peace, quiet and beauty in nature while still being able to access the hustle and bustle, this slice of heaven is perfect.

Stay at horse farm

The host was amazing; very attentive even willing to provide tour. We lived close by for years and were back to visit family so great location as we already knew the area well. House is small as name suggests 'Cottage' wouldn't suggest more than 2 - 3 at the most. Cottage was quaint and well equipped with everything. Very quiet and safe and scenic. We would stay again if back in area

About the host

Hosted by Ellen Pons

Host profile image
I'm a host of farm properties in Maryland and Virginia since 2010. The Cottage is just launching December 2024 and should be a great stay for anyone who loves the quiet of the country and horses.

Why they chose this property

Sunsets Sunrises the birds and wildlife around the farm and the horses of all ages grazing and growing are just some of the perks of staying on the farm. Safety, Privacy and Quiet are also the norm. The cottage, its patio and yard around it is your space to call home. Please note that during the hours of 8 am - 3pm.walks through the farm requires "giving way" (stopping for horses being led or ridden) to horses until they are safely past .

What makes this property unique

Location Location Location. Just over the hill from Boordy Vineyard and a few miles from Gun Powder hiking trails. 30 mins from PA line and 20 mins to Towson.
