    Our second getaway trip here and my go to recommendation for a place to stay in Frederick! Super cozy home in a great location, clean and well-stocked with small amenities. Clear instructions on how things work (TV, heat/AC, record player) and responsive host if there are any questions. Ok forward to visiting again!

    Awesome property. Enjoyed the record player and record collection. Home was an easy walk to the canal and downtown. We enjoyed playing games at the dining room table with family. Communication with property owner was great. Will definitely consider property again for our next trip to Frederick.

    I believe this was our 5th stay at this property (?) and certainly not our last. It has become our home away from home while my son attends Hood College in Frederick. SO comfortable, with absolutely everything you could possibly need and more! Laurie is an EXTRAORDINARY host, fantastic communicator and wonderful human being with a house full of remarkable art, trinkets, books...it's like spending the weekend in a museum. Outdoor space is also phenomenally quirky! Every visit I discover something new and beautiful - last visit it was a gorgeous book of Native American photographs from the 1920s, this time it was a set of Kenyan salad servers that I found online when I got home. Can't wait to return in a month or two! It's truly one of my happy places.

    The location of property was excellent. Short Easy walk to all downtown points of interest.The photos of property were deceptive, so, I was disappointed in the property as it was not at all spacious.It was crowded with furnishings.There were ants on the kitchen counters, upstairs bathroom and kitchen and entry area. Otherwise, it was clean.The host was very responsive and generous with her home.

    Once again, we had a wonderful stay at this property! This time it was not only for visiting my son at Hood College and watching lacrosse, but also for celebrating Easter! Not only was it SUCH fun hunting eggs (this house has some remarkable potential for hiding places!!!!), but entertaining my son's friends...lots of Italian food and big breakfasts! The kids love having a home where they can come hang out to get away from dorm life for a little while....the garden is lovely and the perfect place for that. All of the flowers are beginning to bloom and the cats come out to snuggle and be pet. Each time we stay, it seems more like a home-away-from-home. This visit, we were actually enjoying the house SO much, we hardly even explored Frederick! Laurie is the absolute best host, I feel very well taken care of when my family is here. Visit #5 will be in August for move-in day....can't wait!

    We stay at this property whenever we visit my son at college...thisis our 3rd stay and next month will be #4! I can't say enough. The house has everything your heart could desire, comfy beds, a fantastic kitchen with EVERY kitchen tool you could imagine (and some I've never seen)! The decor is absolutely mesmerising. I could wander around for days just looking at all of the treasures, reading from a fascinating book collection, listening to vinyl on the turntable. In warmer months, the garden is magical.The host is more than accommodating and communicative. Can't wait to go back!

    Me and my partner wanted an escape from the bustle of city life and had been recommended to visit Frederick, MD. It was such a treat to stay here! It's a short walk into downtown (which was full of interesting stuff to do!) and a cozy place to rest when not out-and-about. Highlights include the 1) the kitchen, which was well organized well and fully stocked with local coffee and tea, 2) the host's kindness/flexibility on check in-out times, which helped make the whole experience so much more relaxing, and 3) the charming details scattered all around the house! If a friend were travelling to Frederick, I'd absolutely recommend this property, and I hope to return next time I'm in town.

    We came to Frederick for a weekend away and stayed in this historic and renovated home - 2 parents, 2 kids, and our small dog. As happens in winter, we got a day of snow during our long weekend! The home is cozy, whimsical, and filled with art and antiques that are lived in - very comfortable and clean. Kitchen was as well stocked with essentials & cookware as I would keep at home, and selection of teas was unparalleled. The house is about 2 blocks from the start of town on Market street and so we had a great night out before the snow started. Given the weather, we stayed in close contact with Laurie, our host, and she went over and beyond to make sure we were warm and had salted pathways and sidewalks. We had lots of snow-related fun at a nearby park/playground, and the roads were perfectly plowed overnight, so we had no problem getting home the next day. This was a great option for a stay in Frederick.

    Communication was great and check-in was contact-free if you’re concerned about that. The hosts were very kind and prepared an extra inflatable bed for us and had some homemade iced tea in the fridge when we arrived. The property was very welcoming and perfect for a visit to Frederick. The house and patio is charming; very clean and functional with everything you need to feel at home. The bed in the MB was probably the most comfortable bed I’ve ever been on. I use a CPAP that tracks my sleep and I spent 10 hours asleep one night which is unheard of for me. The house is nestled in a great spot away from town traffic; flanked by a few other houses, a small church, and the school for the deaf. Most of the spots you’ll want to visit in downtown are about 0.4-1.0 miles away and perfectly walkable. We looked forward to walking around everyday. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Thank you!

    Wonderful place to stay to attend a lacrosse tournament. Location was peaceful and within walking distance to downtown. Great place to walk to dinner, ice cream, coffee shops, etc. Also, this location was close to the interstate. Communication with Ms. Zook was top notch. The home had many amenities to include a great kitchen space to cook meals... Spacious and great beds!
