About this property

Enjoy our our charming stone and shingle cottage perched on the side of a mountain overlooking the Catoctin Mountain Valley for a get away! Only 1 hr. 20 min from DC and Baltimore! Close to Gettysburg (22 minutes) It is also located only 12 minutes from SKI LIBERTY/30 MIN TO WHITETAIL on a country lane in Blue Ridge Summit , Pa. which was founded as a vacation site for nearby DC and Baltimore families. It is 5 miles or so from the famous Camp David. It is less than one mile from the Appalachian Trail and close to Orvis Hill Country Shooting. At the turn of the 20th c. people came from as far away as NY because the train went there. It is located in the area of Lee's retreat and the Battle of Monterey Pass. It is 22 minutes to Gettysburg.. 1/2 hour to Monocacy, and about the same to Sharpsburg and Antietam. !!! The cottage has 2 large bedrooms upstairs(1 king- the other two twins that make a king on the second floor,) and a double bedroom on the first floor. Each bedroom has a bath. There is a living room , kitchen, dining room and small den. The deck is the best part! The large doors looking onto the expanse of the valley are an important feature of the house. Enjoy dining under the umbrella on the deck, sometimes cooking on the small grill. The garden is very relaxing and has a fire pit for chilly evenings. There is also a small outdoor hot tub. The little private lane makes the home a small enchanting estate with the feeling that you are far , far away. It is extremely relaxing .Reading, walk ing up and down the lane, and just hanging are great. If looking for more, go to Gettysburg to the movies and to Hagerstown to the Outlet Malls and amazing antique stores. Among favorite restaurants are the Cash town Inn (gourmet in the country) and the Carriage House in Emmitsburg (best crab cakes anywhere~) Delicious Chinese buffet in Waynesboro. Several golf courses nearby , and trout fishing. G. The Y in Wayneboro has very reasonable short term memberships for gym and pool . The Battle of Monterey Pass and Lee's Retreat from Gettysburg were just around the corner. See North South Magazine, Feb. 27 2010!!!

Quirky Cottage with a Great View

We enjoyed our stay! The view was lovely and relaxing. The kitchen was well equipped. The house is older, well loved and well-worn, spacious, and has some quirky features and oddities. It is great for family retreats. The internet was strong enough for connecting for processing files, but did have some difficulty supporting video meetings. The cellular reception was very strong.

Stupendous location but a dirty home

The location of the home is 2nd to none! The views of the mountains are amazing! The home is tired and the cleaning is abysmal. We had to clean immediately when we arrived. The bathrooms were fine, but the kitchen wasn't clean and the windows were obnoxious. The owner was gracious and easy to work with. She does need to shift cleaners immediately. This property is too beautiful not to be honored and respected.

Gettysburg weekend

This property was amazing. Everything about it exceeded all of my expectations. My family and I felt right at home in this cozy cottage. The view from the patio was spectacular. The location was quiet and serene. The few neighbors that we ran into were very friendly. A short 30 minute scenic drive to Gettysburg made this the perfect location for relaxing after a busy day of sightseeing. Would definitely stay again
