Enjoy our recently udpated charming stone and shingle cottage perched on the side of a mountain overlooking the Catoctin Mountain Valley ! Plan a hike from the Monterey Pass Battlefield parking lot across from the museum and then hike (1.6 miles)to the Monterey Pass Overlook for a view of the valley.

Only 1 hr. 20 min from DC and Baltimore! Close to Gettysburg (22 minutes) It is also located only 14 minutes from SKI LIBERTY/30 MIN TO WHITETAIL on a country lane in Blue Ridge Summit , Pa. which was founded as a vacation site for nearby DC and Baltimore families. It is 5 miles or so from the famous Camp David. It is less than one mile from the Appalachian Trail and close to Orvis Hill Country Shooting. At the turn of the 20th c. people came from as far away as NY because the train went there. It is located in the area of Lee's retreat and the Battle of Monterey Pass. It is 22 minutes to Gettysburg.. 1/2 hour to Monocacy, and about the same to Sharpsburg and Antietam. !!! The cottage has 2 large bedrooms upstairs(1 king- the other two twins that make a king on the second floor,) and a double bedroom on the first floor. Each bedroom has a bath. There is a living room , kitchen, dining room and small den. The deck is the best part! The large doors looking onto the expanse of the valley are an important feature of the house. Enjoy dining under the umbrella on the deck, sometimes cooking on the grill. The garden is very relaxing and has a fire pit for chilly evenings. There is also a small outdoor hot tub. The little private lane makes the home a small enchanting estate with the feeling that you are far , far away. It is extremely relaxing .Reading, walking up and down the lane, and just hanging out are great. If looking for more, go to Gettysburg to the movies and to Hagerstown to the Outlet Malls and amazing antique stores. Among favorite restaurants are the Cash town Inn (gourmet in the country) and the Carriage House in Emmitsburg (best crab cakes anywhere~) Delicious Chinese buffet in Waynesboro. Several golf courses nearby , and trout fishing. The Y in Wayneboro has very reasonable short term memberships for gym and pool .
