“Be our guest”...Our home is a historic 1882 3-story townhome in downtown Frederick. While we (John & Sarah) live on the bottom 2 levels, we’d love to welcome you to your own private apartment on the 3rd floor. The space is lovely and is comprised of 4 rooms...a family room, full kitchenette, full bathroom with shower, and a queen bedroom. The front door is shared with the owners, but once inside, the stairs (32 total) lead directly up to your completely private apartment. We have a keyless keypad for your privacy.

Location, location, location! The home is located on a quiet, residential street only 1 block from all the action on Market Street and downtown Frederick. You are literally walking distance to dozens of fantastic restaurants, bars, shops, Baker Park, Culler Lake, Carroll Creek, etc. We offer free parking for 2 vehicles.

While we look forward to welcoming you to Frederick and are available if you have questions, we value the privacy of our guests. Interaction with the owners is up to you. We want you to feel at home, relax, and enjoy.

Please keep in mind, we do have a sweet 13 year old shihpoo, Oliver. He does not shed because he is part poodle. He is a sweetheart and spends most of his day sleeping.

As for your apartment...

Bedroom: Queen bed with hypoallergenic pillows and comforter for 2 people. We provide all sheets, blankets and towels. There is a chair and bench for your luggage.

Family Room: a big, comfy sectional to relax. We have sheets, blankets and pillows for 2 more people. After a full day exploring, we hope you kick your feet up and relax in front of the tv (with cable).

Kitchenette: Frederick has a TON of great restaurants. However, if you’re in the mood to eat in, we provide all the basics!! In the kitchenette you’ll find a small refrigerator, sink, microwave/toaster oven, hot plate burner, coffee maker (with coffee), and plenty of table service.

Bathroom with shower (no tub), towels and wash cloths a plenty!

    We had a great time at Olivers Retreat. The location was excellent and the apartment is very nice (tastefully decorated, good size, well equipped with pretty much everything you need … and a very comfortable bed). Overall a very pleasant weekend.

    The apartment was a perfect, cozy spot to relax and enjoy our vacation. The town of Frederick is vibrant, fun, and friendly. The hosts were extremely welcoming, easily accessible and made the whole process extremely easy. The apartment had plenty of space, it was clean and very comfortable! The bed was comfy, and it was nice to have the separate living area too. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. We had a wonderful time! And love to Oliver! :)

    Frederick and Oliver's retreat were the perfect choice for a landing spot before and after our Family Reunion in Wheaton. Comfy, easy access to the shopping and dining in town, and to and from the Reunion. Effortless!!

    You can't beat this location—a great apartment in the heart of Frederick. We didn't need our car one time. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go, eat, and shop. It is only blocks away from Carroll Creek Park. The description of the apartment is spot on. Would definitely stay again. Sarah, thanks for the great stay.

    Wonderful converted top level of historic home so close to everything. Even though we go to Frederick often, the owner was still able to give us a few tips and ideas that were new, so that's always a great thing!

    Oliver’s Retreat was a lovely place to spend the weekend. The location was wonderful, easy walking distance to restaurants, shops and the Weinberg theater. The apartment was clean, spacious and very comfortable. Parallel parking in front of the home was free on the weekends. The owner, Sarah, was very friendly and welcoming. We highly recommend staying here.

    What a fun little property! Well laid out. It's up some narrow stairs, so make sure you don't have mobility issues if you reserve this space. Loved the living room with robust couch area. Clean and well decorated. Cable TV a plus. Just a few blocks from downtown Fredrick, making it a perfect place to stay walkability wise. Great host who was very communicative and helpful. Enjoyed our stay!
