Relaxing Retreat

Our small group of 4 recently stayed in this beautifully restored cabin, along with our dogs, when we came into town for a big Agility trial close by. What a treat it was to stay in someplace so calm and spacious, instead of a crowded, cookie cutter hotel, or motel!Our host was quick to respond with any questions we had from the moment we first wanted to book you accommodation.

Perfect little getaway

We were super excited to stay in such a charming historic cabin. Felt like staying at an old family homestead. The rental is furnished with absolutely everything you could possibly need if staying with dogs or family. We really appreciated all the character and thoughtfulness put into the property.

Eclectic & Rustic with modern Amenities

We were at the cabin for an extended stay of 28 days. This was a work from home situation too. There are many impressive factors to staying there. It’s rustic in some respects with a highly slanted plank board floor upstairs. Rustic means that one should expect some bugs inside with an 1850s structure, in addition to the slant. However, this stay had everything we needed and more: Internet speeds and superior connectivity beyond what our own home has, mini-split AC in each room, outdoor security cameras, sun-drenched kitchen with peaceful sun rises and quiet. The kitchen is also well equipped with what one will need, including an espresso machine, electric kettle and washer/dryer too. There is a king bed upstairs and generous couches on both levels with a large Roku TV. We did not use the connected cottage but it did have a musty odor when we popped in to check out the space. The host is thoughtful, creative and responsive. We made certain to treat her home the way we would want our home treated. It is easy to notice things when staying for a longer period of time. There was mold and water collecting in the front load washer. We corrected that and let her know. The ants persisted under one kitchen door. I think that these issues simply need more maintenance checks, which can go unnoticed if an owner is not living there for a period. I do think that the structure can be a problem for anyone with mobility issues. Still fun, with some understandable flaws.

Cozy cabin

My husband I enjoyed our stay at Linda’s home. It was perfect for what we needed, as we were in town for a family celebration in Westminster. It is a historic home, so as a therapist, I have to say that it would not be good for someone with orthopedic or balance issues since it has stairs with no handrail to get to the bedroom, and some of the wooden flooring is uneven. However, for able bodied individuals it is a cozy, warm and comfortable stay! The kitchen and bathroom are both recently renovated, bright and cheerful. The king bed upstairs was very comfortable and with the blinds and curtains on all the windows, it’s easy to sleep late, which we appreciated! There is also a pull out bed in the upstairs bedroom with a curtain separating it from the king bed. One thing to keep in mind is that the other double bed is in an attached building, (which may have been the kitchen building historically, not sure). It is fixed up really nicely, but it is a bit musty just due to the nature of that building, so it may not be appropriate for everyone. The grounds around the home would be nice to hang out in, although we didn’t really get the chance while we were there. The kitchen is well-stocked with basics and spices so if you’d like to cook, this would be possible. Thanks Linda for a wonderful stay, if we are back in the area again visiting family, we will be back!

Definitely disappointing

From the minute we spotted the property, we were disappointed. It was located right on the corner road side of the property, car noise. It looked dilapidated, out-buildings especially. It’s an old house, so we expected some issues. HOWEVER. I am short (5') and have bad knees. The steps onto the "breezeway" were so high I barely got up, even with a cane, walls to grab onto, and assistance from my family. It was even worse TRYING to get into the house itself. I simply couldn’t. Since the bathroom (very tiny) was in the house, I wouldn’t be able to use it. So I thought my husband & I could sleep in the "cabin". NO WAY!!! It was overwhelmingly musty, and having asthma, not possible for me. I’m not the only one that had access issues. My brother-in-law had a bad time getting up too. He has a bad hip, making the entry stairs painful for him. The rest of the property was okay, nice sitting area under the trees. But all in all, nothing like we expected from the description. We all felt it was misrepresented, or at least missing a few pertinent details (like the stairs). All in all, way too tiny for more than two people. It should listed "possible access issues". We never spent our allotted time there; we are in the process of trying to get at least 50% of our money back.

Beautiful Historic Cabin

This cabin was just perfect! It was beautifully decorated with both the old & modern look. The cabin included all the cooking essentials we needed for our stay. The host was quick to respond with any questions. The place was super clean! We brought our 2 Golden Retriever girls with us & the fenced in field was perfect for playing fetch! They absolutely loved it! I loved the slanted floors & the old farmhouse appearance! I highly recommend this cabin! ❤️🐾🥰 The grocery store & other stores were only about 10 minutes away which was also great! I wish our stay was longer! Definitely will be back again! 💗

Linda has an amazing little spot in Carroll County. It's close enough to Westminster to hop down and grab some supplies, but far enough from civilization to enjoy the wilderness. The neighborhood is quiet, the cabin is a cute little joy, and the bumble bees are a treat.

Relaxing time

We enjoyed our long weekend at the cabin. The house was interesting and we got used to its quirks (low ceilings, slanted floors and steep staircase). The king sized bed was super comfortable. The refrigerator is small with other food in there but luckily they have a separate fridge in the cottage bedroom so we could fit our food. The immediate yard off the house is not fenced but is largely bordered by hedges. There is a separate fenced field that is secure. Our dog loved the yard and there was plenty of space for ball playing. The neighborhood was beautiful and the roads were quiet for walking. The first couple of days we used the electric fireplace for warmth in the living room, but at the end of our stay we took advantage of the outside furniture and the beautiful spring weather.
