About this property

This River House is located on the Monocacy River with a beautiful open view of the river and the Antietam National Battlefield on the opposite shore. Downtown Frederick, Maryland is just 3 miles away and offers a fun variety of restaurants, pubs, breweries, shopping and cultural activities. Your getaway could be taking in the scenic view, drifting down the river or heading into downtown Frederick for some lively entertainment. Bring your fishing rods! The Monocacy boasts large and small mouth Bass, carp, and catfish. A brick charcoal barbecue grill is offered for outdoor grilling.

There are 3 units available in the River House but this one is the largest, located on the second and third floors, with open space for enjoyable social gatherings and views of the river. Hickory hardwood floors shine throughout with custom pine doors and cedar closets. A full deck offers additional space for relaxing and entertaining on the river. This new construction includes a full modern kitchen with island seating for 6, 2 full baths, washer/dryer and sleeps 5 comfortably. The living area faces the river and includes a convertible sofa that sleeps 2 with an additional reading/relaxing area. The large bedroom on the main floor has a queen size bed with attached full bath and tub/shower (bathroom has shared access with the living area.) The quaint upstairs bedroom has a bunk bed that can sleep 3 (full and twin) with a full bath and shower.

We have had some issues with noise from the Villa (2nd floor) making it hard for guests in the two lower units to sleep. So, there is an 11 pm excessive noise curfew for the Villa when either of the lower units is occupied. Also, we recently installed several hundred cubic ft. of cellulose sound dampening insulation in the ceiling of this unit to re-mediate the issue.

In support of the global effort to conserve energy resources utilizing reasonable practices, we have installed Ecobee “smart” thermostats in all of our listings that the guests can also control. The thermostats are preset with a maximum heating setting of 72 degrees and a minimum cooling setting of 72 degrees.

Rustic and Peaceful

I have stayed here twice now with my kids while visiting my mom. Both times we have stayed in the Villa. I like rustic, and to me this is the perfect combination of rustic and practical modern. It very much has a cabin feel with its gorgeous wood, but also has great AC, Sat TV, WiFi, and a very well equipped kitchen. The master bedroom is huge and very comfortable. The second bedroom is ideal for kids. Having 2 bathrooms was great and they were more than adequate. The deck and the view off of it is just magnificent. Deer frequently walk by and I’m pretty sure I saw an eagle. I loved the almost secret road/path to get back to the place. Yes the floors creak. We just tried to not be walking all around after 11pm out of respect for the people below us. The WiFi is ok. If you’re traveling with young adults/teens like myself, you may have some complainers. However our cell service was great there and they were able to just use data and hush. The one thing I would love to see change is the access to the river. We love to fish. We did fish there and caught a handful of sunfish but it was a challenge. The bank was steep and there was a lot of vegetation prohibiting us from even getting to the edge. In teen terms, we had to “yeet” the fish over the bank and vegetation. Good thing they were small. Overall, if you’re looking for a peaceful, rustic place to stay, without giving up modern conveniences, this is it. I would stay here again.

Not a Villa

The property title is listed as a Villa with majestic views. The definition of Villa: a country estate. : a large expensive house usually located in the country. Based on the title I never read the description fully, so in my opinion this is very misleading. There are a total of 3 units in this house, the other 2 units are listed as studios, not a Villa. The front door to the property has a keypad entry and if this door isn’t locked by others staying in the house when they leave it remains unlocked allowing access from anyone. The door to the “Villa” was not an entry door or even as secure as a true interior door. You could see into the unit when standing outside the door when it is closed. A good hard push on this door and you would be in the unit. If you wanted to use the grill you would need to go downstairs to the other units patio area, the fire pit is the same way. The floors are extremely noisy, and even upstairs we could hear the people downstairs. We were never able to get the TV to work. I felt so bad just walking in the area we were staying because of the people in the downstairs units. He had a sleeper sofa that was listed as sleeps 2 comfortable. When we opened it there was so much debris and rodent droppings it was sickening. Even underneath this couch hadn’t been cleaned in forever, there was debris and rodent droppings. I did call him when we found this and sent him pictures. Once I was home, I sent him a lengthier email and his re

Overall, a great stay!

Overall, this was a great place to stay! A couple of things to improve - overall cleanliness- trash left under the coffee table, trash and food left under the sofa bed, old coffee grinds left in the coffee pot, no kitchen paper and no laundry soap. The shower curtain was moldy and so we washed it, and I don’t think the washer had been run in a while, and so the water had a sulphuric smell to it. Little things, but little things make a difference! Fantastic location, quiet, easy to get to places! I would stay there again!

Wonderful for a weekend getaway

We had a great experience at the property with everything pretty much covered by the host. The ONLY thing we did not like was the creaky floors (as others have mentioned) that may have disturbed the guests below us but we understand that is not an easy fix. Highly recommend this property.
