This was our third stay at Christmas and fourth overall. Location is perfect for visiting with family. The property is always immaculate and is well appointed with lots of little “comforts”. Plenty of room to spread out and well equipped kitchen. Staying with Grace is always a pleasure.
Grace was so kind during our stay. Unfortunately my husband and I caught a bug on our flight so we ended up spending our entire time at Grace’s wonderful home. While we hated being sick away from home, this was about as comfortable as you could ask for. Lovely place!

Wonderful place to stay
The place was very large and had many amenities - anything we could have needed. Grace was a wonderfull host. Responsive and friendly. We will be comming back for another stay at this place!
Third stay at this beautiful home. Visited with family in the area over Christmas. The property is so comfortable it is like coming home…but better. First class from the linens to coffee supplies.
A delightful home! Great location! A relaxing and beautiful environment! We have found our home away from home and hope to be back!

Perfect Home & Host
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our 6 nights in this home. It was spacious, clean, comfortable and inviting. We used to live in the area and found this to be the perfect spot when visiting our family now from Florida. Grace was gracious and welcoming. We will be staying here again. Thanks
Truly welcoming from arrival to departure!
You will see upon entering pass the golden nameplate of the Chateau Ridge and stepping into her immaculate & “chateau cozy“ residence, the Chateau Ridge offers a relaxing & restful retreat as a home away from home.

Chateau Ridge
Wonderful place to stay… It’s beautiful, spotless, very private and has all the comforts of home.There was nothing that we wanted or needed that wasn’t there.Most rentals have minimal “starter supplies” but Chateau Ridge had everything from coffee pods, ground decaf and regular coffee, TP, kitchen cleaning supplies and even a full candy jar, ha!
Spacious, comfortable home. We had a very busy schedule so only had mornings and nights at the home. It is a beautifully maintained home with all the amenities you could need and want. Entire process was well done and we had an excellent and gracious hostess. Highly recommend and we will reserve it again the next time we are back in MD.
Stayed during Christmas holiday while visiting family. Property is large and had plenty of room even when we hosted Christmas dinner for immediate family. Since I was cooking, the kitchen was very important. Grace’s kitchen is stocked with good quality dishes, pans and tools. This was our second stay at Chateau Ridge and it won’t be the last.

Tranquil Retreat
We really only had early mornings and nights at Chateau Ridge as our calendar was jam packed and kept us on the move. But having such a lovely home to relax in to drink our morning coffee or simply unwind at night was perfect. Very clean. HUGE and spacious. Sharing it with family that visit MD often and we will return again if it’s available! Thank you for the hospitality!
Stayed with Grace for 2 weeks when our daughter, who lives nearby, had our first grandchild. If you are looking for a spacious, luxurious and beautifully decorated house with a chefs kitchen this is the place. Plenty of dishes, glasses, bakeware and all the “tools” needed for a long term stay. Beautiful sunroom and deck area. Pictures really don’t do it justice. We had several family visitors while there and each one reacted “wow” when they entered the front door. Grace is a wonderful host who got the details right. Stayed at many VRBO properties but this was by far the cleanest. We are returning over the holidays.

Outstandingly Gorgeous Home
As soon as pulled up to the property I was impressed. The land is vast and well manicured and when I unlocked the front door to enter I was amazed at the beauty. What a striking home! So neat and exceptionally clean (very hard to find these days this level of clean) with a fully equipped kitchen and nice sturdy furniture. Plenty of space with huge closets. Outdoor space with BBQ grill and access to garage as well. Grace was very gracious and introduced herself my first day there. Lovely lady. My mom, daughter and cousin lived it all the same and I most certainly am going to be rebooking in 2024. Thankful it was available for my trip to Westminster as this home is a gem you don't want to pass over. Grace, thank you again for allowing the two hour extended check out. We'll see you again real soon.
