I can honestly say, this was one of the most beautifully furnished and decorated VRBO's I have stayed in. The home was clean and included all the amenities needed, plus some. Deb, our host, was wonderful to work with. She answered all our questions promptly and gave great details as to finding and using the necessary items in the home as well as everything that could be enjoyed in the area. We had a great stay!
This was truly a delight for me and my family! We were in contact with the hosts from the start. There were Christmas decorations and treats/groceries for breakfast so we didn't have to go back out after a long drive. The Grove guest house was lovely and cozy and perfect for a Christmas away from home. A dip in the hot tub on a cold, snowy night will be a great memory for us all. I highly recommend.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house is beautiful and extremely spacious, very clean, everything you would need is already there. The breakfast items, fruit, and cake were such a pleasant bonus! We loved the hot tub in the evenings. We did some hiking both days, the 2nd day was spent in Harper’s ferry, a town we love. Plenty of great food options near. We also loved the library , we sat in there and read when we had our morning coffee. It was also quiet and very peaceful. Would definitely stay again! Deb was such a phenomenal host, super responsive and helpful!
The house and property were phenomenal! Super clean, elegant, fantastic amenities (pool/spa) and extra welcome gifts provided! Deb was fantastic with communication and very accommodating! We’d definitely recommended this place and hope to stay here again!!
The guest house is amazing. Quiet, well stocked and plent of room. Close to evrything, bht far enough away for solitude. The host was very responsive. We were greated with a bittle of wine, snacks, bagels.
This was a great place to stay to getaway and have privacy. The Host was so kind and went out of her way when I was not feeling well. It was extremely clean and you can even use the pool and spa. I would highly recommend staying there and it can accommodate more than just 2 people. We would definitely stay there again! Karen Meck
This was my 2nd time staying here, And everything was just as perfect as I remembered. Beautiful, clean home, super comfy beds! Spectacular pool and hot tub. And Deb is just the perfect hostess who went above and beyond once again. Love it here!
Our family was able to stay together while we attended a wedding of close family friends. We had a leisurely morning by the pool. There was plenty of room and the decor was lovely. The host was exceptionally responsive and the touches of hospitality (wine and cheese; continental breakfast; donuts) made our stay very pleasant! I would stay here again if I had the opportunity!
This was a perfect spot for a getaway with friends. Deb was a wonderful host. All the little details (snacks, wine, breakfast) were such a nice touch. The space was clean and well stocked with all essentials. Deb was so easy to get in touch with and made the whole stay so enjoyable. Would definitely go back again!
Our fall stay here was amazing. Greeted with a variety of refreshments displayed beautifully on the counter. Comfort galore. Bedrooms to die for. We loved the decor and style. Hope that someday we will get back this way and are able to stay longer.
We were in search of a last minute get-away for some intense writing and this was the perfect choice. Quiet, comfortable, welcoming - just what we needed. Be aware that the pool and hot tub are across the driveway behind the main house but do NOT let this put you off. Deb and family were discrete and we hardly knew they were there.
I am looking forward to planning a return visit.
This is a fancy retreat, the host has decorated this house very elegantly and throughly. The breakfast goodies to start you off is a very nice touch. Deborah is a kind host and very reaponsive. For our family the one bathroom was challenging at times, but the overall space was more than adequate. The bedrooms were spacious and the kitchen was well equipped.
The property is lovely. The host makes you feel very special. You are welcomed with beautiful fruit and all your breakfast needs. You feel like you have come home to family. The pool is beautiful and well taken care of. The beds are clean and comfortable and everything ran smoothly. Not a single complaint.
Thank you for a relaxing stay in Frederick, Maryland! The pool was very relaxing and perfect for hot summer days. The pool was very clean. The check-in process was easy. Deb was so kind to provide groceries for our stay. The house was very close to historic sites, walking trails, restaurants, vineyards, and breweries. Deb was thoughtful and provided everything we may have needed during our stay. We would highly recommend this home!
It is a beautiful property. We enjoyed being able to use the pool & hot tub! A nice place to just relax for a week! We were welcomed with music, a welcome sign & some nice treats.
We used the kitchen to cook most of our meals. We would have loved to have had an open shelf in the pantry to put our non-perishable food on for the week. Instead our food sat on the floor in the boxes and the bags we brought because the pantry, cupboards & island were filled with kitchen items & décor items. Other than that the kitchen worked well. Daily, we enjoyed the coffee & tea area as well as the filter water from the refrigerator door.
It is definitely an adults only type of place because of some provocative décor & the many breakable decorations.
