Peaceful retreat in the woods

Reconnect with nature in our tranquil guesthouse nestled in the woods of Loch Raven Reservoir, just 20 minutes from Baltimore and an easy drive or train from DC. Forest bathe, slow down, walk or bike nearby trails, visit farm breweries, and more — all with major conveniences close by. Whether you’re looking for a place to recharge, have a relaxing weekend with family, whisk away with your significant other, or have a memorable gathering with friends or colleagues, this is the perfect place.

Our guesthouse is located up a hill in a hollow carved by streams flowing into Loch Raven. Surrounded by the woods, your closest neighbors will be the birds, deer, foxes, flowers, mushrooms, and other wild things!

Rest well in one of the medium-firm beds. Greet the morning sun through large east-facing windows. Cook your favorite dishes in the kitchen stocked with necessities. Relax in either of two living rooms. Access the internet with our fast wi-fi connection or catch up on that show with the smart TV. Get some work done (if you have to) at one of the desks or tables. Enjoy a rain shower to start or end the day. Or step outside, soak in the forest and birdsong, and gather around the firepit as the sun drops behind the hill.

We strive for a clean, healthy, and environmentally friendly home. The products used in the house reflect this.

June 2026: we did some landscaping work, and portions of the outside surrounding the house are currently covered in straw to help the soil and ground cover plant life recover.
