House on the Gwynns Falls


NEW INFORMATION: The property only sleeps 5 people comfortably

Welcome to Historic Dickeyville! Once a bustling village with paper and textile mills located within the Baltimore City limits, Dickeyville is named after the last mill owner, William J. Dickey. The Gwynn’s Falls, which once powered these mills, winds its way through the village and is now a scenic place for you to enjoy! Your home-away-from-home sits directly across from the Gwynns Falls river system and offers beautiful views of the surrounding 1,100 acres of natural forest. If you like serene, green habitats, you will love visiting Dickeyville. The property has a large mature perennial garden and front yard, with ample vehicle parking in front of the home as well as a pull in driveway for one car. The gardens are glorious starting in the Spring and provide for a lovely view from inside the home. The upstairs covered porch is a special place which to view the surrounding greenspaces and hear the sounds of the rushing water of the Gwynns Falls. I believe you will enjoy the serenity and country feel of historic Dickeyville, MD! .

Charming house in a beautiful historic mill village. Such a quiet spot, right next to the Gwynn’s Falls. The sound of the river was louder than the sound of traffic, which is very unique! Mary and was a gracious host. She and her dog greeted us upon arrival and showed us around the house. She also turned the mini split heaters on before we arrived so it was nice and warm inside. The house was clean with a rustic vibe and the second story porch was just the perfect place to drink coffee in the morning. If you are looking for a fully private stay with no in person contact with the host, than this isn’t the place for you. My only suggestion would be to get the dishwasher fixed. Mary did warn us that it wasn’t working. Doing dishes by hand is a pain but not the end of the world! Overall, It was cute and relaxing. I would absolutely stay here again!

The house was cute. It reminds me of an old rustic style cottage I like the layout and the set up of the house, the original furniture. I don’t like that the bathroom door upstairs did not latch or lock. There was an issue with flickering lights, although it is an old house. Either I did not read all of the description or I was unaware that the host would be on site that was a little awkward, but I get it, but I think it should definitely be in the description when booking.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The house is very lovely. Yes, it is incredibly old, so I understood the creaky floors. We absolutely adore old homes. The listing itself is, however, inaccurate. The second bathroom is within the shared hallway, which does indeed, smell of urine. The hallway and downstairs of the house smell of urine & mildew. I expected certain things.That wasn't an issue. The issue is with the host/owner. She was extremely adamant that she meet us. I, politely, explained that we check in late, typically as we like to do our own thing. Still, she persisted. The owner came to the house, just to count the number of people and make sure we hadn't brought pets. She told us, "I like to see who all is here and if you brought pets. People bring pets and don't tell me". This was at 7 pm. Honestly, made things very uncomfortable. We paid for the entire house, but her "cleaners" hadn't changed the sheets on one of the beds upstairs nor had the room we slept in been clean. The floors have plaster dust everywhere. She claims that she has cleaners, this is a lie. When we checked out, no cleaners showed. It was simply her, we watched. She lied to us. She claimed that she did not know that the other room had not been made. However, in her messages to me, she stated that she went into the upstairs to turn on HVAC in each room prior to our arrival. She shared that the dishwasher was broken, but she failed to inform us that the dishwasher was full of moldy/food soaked dishes: See below for further review:

Short stay in Baltimore

Historically located older home with creaky wood floors with lots of windows, I felt like we never really had complete privacy. Beautiful plants surrounded the house and a walking trail and park down the street.

Stressful and unprofessional

Do not be fooled by this host’s listing. Upon arrival, we were met by an extremely condescending, nasty, and arrogant woman who immediately made us feel threatened and unwelcome. After a long day and a late arrival, we found her inside the property in her pajamas with her dog barking uncontrollably. From the moment we stepped through the door, she began yelling and aggressively questioning us, accusing me of lying and manipulating her booking system.I booked the property according to the number of beds needed for my staff while working a massive event in town, and was fully prepared to pay any additional fees for two extra staff members. Instead of calmly working out a reasonable solution, the host chose to humiliate and degrade us with harsh words, an unprofessional attitude, and outright hostility.We had no intention of spending time in her home beyond sleeping a few hours each night, given our 16-hour workdays. Unfortunately, she treated us as if we planned to destroy her home, leaving us deeply uncomfortable, unsafe, and completely unable to relax.In the middle of the night, with the city fully booked for the event, we were forced to scramble to find hotel rooms, spending 800 on three rooms the first night and another 600 the following night. This nightmare of a host turned what should have been a simple, professional stay into an experience filled with stress, fear, anxiety, and even depression.I would never recommend this property to anyone. No one deserves to

Peaceful Place of Rest

Mary greeted us upon arrival and gave us a tour of the property and any instructions we needed to know and she was very sweet and inviting. The property itself is beautifully landscaped, clean, and quiet. There's a park nearby with a waterfall which blocks out the sounds of surrounding traffic. The bed is very comforable and gave my spouse and I a wonderful night of rest. Overall we would happily stay here again.

Great Stay in Historic Village

We needed a getaway near Baltimore so we could visit some family and attractions. The location was easy to navigate to and is nestled in a historic village. We enjoyed the ambiance of the house and the host made sure we were comfortable. We highly recommend this stay to anyone who enjoys a unique and quiet getaway. We particularly enjoyed listening to the nearby waterfall from the upstairs balcony. The house was clean and stocked with necessities. We would love to return as we found many places in nearby Catonville that we would like to come back to someday soon. The host was great with communication and made us feel welcome.

The host was extremely friendly, meeting us inside and walking us through every aspect of the house. The home was charming, tidy, and full of lovely details. The beds were quite comfortable -- one bedroom is on the first floor and two others are upstairs. The host lives in an attached cabin, so was available to answer any questions or address any needs.
