Wonderful home

Our family enjoyed staying at the Forgeman House. We loved the area and it was a unique experience and one that our kids will remember. Be ready to be immersed in history. We loved the very nice touches and the responsiveness of the host.

A peaceful retreat

I spent a wonderful few days in the Catoctin Mountain area, hiking and learning about the local history. The house is really unique and full of rich history. Be ready for some basic furniture, but get immersed into the theme of the property. Elizabeth was extremely responsive and helpful. I definitely recommend a stay here!

family Christmas stay

My family rented this charming little house for two nights to celebrate Christmas. We loved it! It’s a historical building with modern amenities. It has a small kitchen so cooking for 6 was a bit challenging but where there’s a will, there’s a way! We loved that the Catoctin Mt Park was right down the road. Would recommend staying here for a unique experience!

Forgeman’s House

House is charming. Short walk to museum and trails. Note that in keeping with the historical ambiance the lighting in the original house, including the bedrooms, is somewhat dim. The kitchen and bathroom are well-lit, and we’ll stocked. Host was kind enough to arrange for a guide at the museum for us even though it was closed.

First VisitTo Frederick/Thurmont MD

The property was great -- having the modern facilities of the kitchen/bath inside such an authentically historic building was something I've never experienced but enjoyed. My family:mother and father both in their eighties, brother and sister in law and nephews, ages 9 & 14 were deeply impressed with the house and neighborhood of Catoctin Furnace. We had a memorable time in Thurmont. Thank you for hosting us!

Neat historic place

The house was neat and the modern updates were well done to keep it historically accurate. Linens and other supplied needs were easy to find and plentiful. All that said, this property is kept historically accurate. The lighting in the original house is kept to electric candle light level and there isn't really anywhere to gather and visit. There is nowhere to comfortably sit (again, completely understand historically accurate). The beds are much the same and quite firm. I appreciate the historical keeping of the house and it is a unique experience to stay. The area is also lovely. Overall, it is very well done for what it is just be prepared for what you are booking.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this historical home! We were so impressed how the decor was true to the historical period the house was built yet it was so comfortable. Of particular interest was the museum in living room of all the artifacts found on the property dating back 100-200 years! We look forward to staying here again on our next visit to the area!

This is a very nice, historic house in a very nice location with easy access to Cunningham Falls State Park and Catoctin Mountain. The majority of the house is historic, with thick walls and more traditional furniture. There is a new addition on the back with a modern, if small, kitchen and a nice bathroom. A quick heads up, there are two single beds in the loft. One of them is "normal" sized, but the other is definitely a kids bed. We were able to make it work, but that might affect sleeping arrangements for some.

Birthday getaway

My daughter wanted to stay somewhere close to Burkittsville, MD for her birthday because she had recently seen The Blair Witch Project for the first time. I found this listing and thought it was perfect! I read the listing carefully and did make note of the period-specific bedding and accommodations, so we weren’t surprised at check in. The kitchen and the bathroom were very modern and had everything we needed. Elizabeth was very helpful and responsive to any questions I had. I would love to stay here again if given the chance.

Appreciate the historical information and pamphlets of other attractions provided. Love the balance between modern and antique/rustic look. The room lights might be a little dark than we liked but probably personal taste. The only real issue we had is the smell on the bed at the main bedroom downstairs. It’s like a musty smell mixed with sweat, probably because the bedding had not been aired/dried properly. Not sure if it was intentional to mask it, but all the bedding linen had strong fragrance. But the smell still transferred to pillows placed on that bed. It’s the only complaint but I think it’s a major one since you smell this when you sleep.

A blast from the past

We booked this to stay at while attending a wedding weekend. Check in was easy when we arrived we found the kitchen area to be at a lovely temperature. The rest of the house was warm and the upstairs was stifling hot. Tried calling the rental contact and had to leave a message. While waiting for a call back we figured out the central air. Good thing as we didn’t get a call back until the next day. Everything about the house is historically correct, including the beds. If you are looking for luxury, this is NOT the place for you. Two bedrooms have full sized beds. They have rope box springs for the thin mattresses. The rope creaks on the wood frame with every move you make. Upstairs are two twin beds or so we thought. The one is a twin while the other is the width of a twin but only about 4 feet long. Perfect if you have smaller children but we were all adults. Overall a nice clean place to stay. The kitchen and bathroom are modern and well stocked. I don’t think we would stay here again but if you like living history you will find it here.

decent

The stay was decent. My booking date I arrived, and the yard was filled with cars and the house was filled with people from the neighborhood practicing music. The loc box was open. I had no communication with the owner or host etc. One guy said they didn't know the property was rented. We waited for everyone to leave. Honestly, I liked the property. It was great. A little extreme with the old fashion style. One of the beds was very noisy every time every turn you make while sleeping. The Sunday a guy came snooping around the yard and seemed annoyed a outdoor chair was on the porch. Then after the stay a few days later the owner Elizabeth contact me about a lost outdoor chair. This annoyed me very much as the advertisement clearly states to make use of the porch. Not sure what was the bases of the lost chair would hate to think that was because we were a colored family. I told her to double check the property as we didnt take anything and I haven't hear back from her. I wouldn't rent back this property for that reason.

Peaceful, lovely, historic home

A beautiful, well equipped, spacious, and peaceful home just a few minutes from Catoctin Mountain National Park and Cunningham Falls State Park. It's very clean and retains its historic character—there are small, fascinating exhibits about history and archaeology in the home itself—without sacrificing modern conveniences. Not far from Frederick, and within an hour's drive of Gettysburg and Antietam battlefields. Also, the historic iron furnace and accompanying museum, just across the road, are well worth exploring. Enthusiastically recommend.
