Private Farmhouse
We had a family reunion/ thanksgiving/ and celebration of a 90 th birthday at the farm. We loved the property. It was very kid friendly we had toddlers ages 2-4 that especially loved helping feed the goats and hanging out in the playroom. For the adults we enjoyed the calm laid back atmosphere. We would definitely book again

A magical place
Fantastic location -- nothing soothes the soul like waking up every morning and feeding goats and horses, or petting Precious the Cat. If you're looking to spend a weekend in Frederick with friends, this is the place to be.

Fun Times on the Farm
We had a most fantastic weekend on the farm! The house was spacious with modern amenities while maintaining the charm of its 200 year old origins. The weather didn’t fully cooperate, but the large covered porch was the perfect spot for our family to sit and watch the rain while the kiddos enjoyed the tic tac toe and jenga blocks. The location is perfectly situated within minutes of the city of Frederick and just a short drive from various wineries and breweries. We all enjoyed the farm itself…the goats provided lots of entertainment, the fields and barns gave the kids lots of space to roam, and everyone was excited to snag at least one fish from the ponds. The host was responsive, provided suggestions, and maintained communication throughout the weekend to ensure our happiness. We all agreed that this was one of the very best experiences that we’ve had! Many thanks to Jeff for making his home available!

BIG part of the Best Day Ever!
Our experience at the farm was beyond fantastic. The owners and property managers are wonderful and extremely considerate. We felt very welcomed to a stay at what felt like a family home, not a rental. The property is beautiful and the house is very large, but feels extremely cozy. We had lots of space and comfort with 10 adults and 4 children. The beds were comfortable and each room is unique, which definitely added to the stay. My family just absolutely loved the house, and kept repeating it, like every future large family gathering should take place there. We took advantage of the fire pit and the grounds. The kids really enjoyed running around and feeding the goats and petting the friendly farm cat. This was the second time that we have stayed at the farm. When I got engaged last year, I couldn't picture my wedding weekend without a stay there. This second experience was as wonderful as the first. Out of town family gathered together along with the bridal party, such a lovely place truly added to our beautiful weekend. We were able to take some pictures there between the ceremony and reception on the gorgeous grounds and the pictures are stunning. This is such a magical place run by kind people. We will definitely be staying again. Thank you for sharing the farm with us, it was a big part of the best weekend of my life. ❤️💍🎃

Great family setting
We were here for a wedding. We only live 30 minutes away but we wanted to be close to the venue and have the whole family in a place where we could hang out instead of driving home or staying in hotel rooms. Everyone had a blast! Peaceful, plenty to do and 5 minutes from Glen Ellen Farms, where the wedding was.. Our 4 boys, ages 20 to 25, one fiancé and 3 dogs stayed with us. My mom and my brother and his wife stopped in to visit and stayed for the day because it was just such a beautiful and relaxing place. Our two friends, who were in town from Pittsburgh for the wedding, came over and said the place felt like home. Highly recommend!
