RETREAT on the CREEK - Businees Travelor or Weekend Getaway. HISTORIC DISTRICT.

FANTASTIC HOME and an IDEAL LOCATION in the HISTORIC DISTRICT. Beyond the back gate, you can walk 60 easy steps to enter Carroll Creek and get to any of the great Restaurants, Pubs, Antiques Shops, History Museums, The Library, Theater etc!

Come stay at this LARGE 3BR 2BA row home and enjoy all that Downtown Frederick has to offer from this Central location. Take advantage of one of the great Festivals or Events in Frederick County, or right in Downtown Frederick on the Creek. Great for the business traveler, or for a weekend getaway! Cable and WIFI. 2 Parking spaces directly behind the house.

Our home was built in 1860 and has original wood floors throughout, a formal living and dining room on the main level, and a fully usable kitchen. The washer and dryer are off the kitchen if needed. There is a full bath on the main level, and full bath on the upper level. Upstairs you have 3 good sized bedrooms and one of the rooms has bunkbeds. The back room has a private balcony overlooking the patio which is nice (see pics).

Listen to any of the Alive at Five events right off the balcony, or in the backyard.

One of my favorite features is the backyard area which is fully fenced and has a large patio. This is a great area to sit and relax and enjoy Downtown Living. The backyard area feels more of like an enclave type setting which backs towards Carroll Creek and Downtown Frederick.

From this location you can walk 1 block North to “Serenity” which recently opened, and is a downtown Grocery Store/Deli…if you need anything during your stay.

This is also a great area to bring your bike, or take a long walk and explore Downtown Frederick, Baker Park, Shab Row, etc! One block East of this property is the Frederick Visitation Center and they have plenty of literature and information on all the events going on throughout Downtown Frederick throughout the year or visit their site

Come check us out, you will not be disappointed!

comfortable, clean and charming townhouse in the heart of downtown Frederick. I especially liked the decor (including a pac man that really works!) and the landscaped outdoor area with seating.

This is a lovely Frederick home. Hopefully we can stay here for a full weekend next time. It was perfect for a quick buddies golf trip and allowed for walking to Frederick nightlife on the creek.

Wedding trip
We spent a weekend in Frederick for a niece’s wedding. The location of this VRBO is the most fantastic thing about it! Could not have been any more convenient. It is historic property. With that comes a little bit of age, but it is well equipped and fairly comfortable. Would definitely stay there again if I went back to Frederick.

Very Successful Wedding Weekend
We were in town as part of the bridal party for a wedding and this space was perfect. Immediate access to downtown (and the venue), very clean property with ample space for our small group. Aaron was incredibly helpful in arranging our booking and even provided recommendations (Bakehouse was superb).

Great Stay! Wonderful Location!
A perfect location in Frederick. The Carroll Creek Canal is right behind the house and is beautifull! Aaron gave us excellent recommendations as to where to visit and eat. The house is older but clean, tidy and comfortable. We did use the kitchen to cook and gave Aaron a few pointers to improve what he had for utensils. Overall, I would come back again. Thanks Aaron

Missing Few Small Amenities
The location allowed us easy access to Historic District which offered many shops/restaurants/walking areas and enjoyed 2 parking spots. It would have been nice to have ice trays-some way to make ice, more towels (stayed 4 nights and was given 3 bath towels and "1" washcloth), and having 4 chairs around outside patio table (4th was broken). Owner was very responsive.

Perfect location for a friends' weekend reunion. Steps out the back door to the creek with plenty of shops, bars, and restaurants. Extra bonus that there was a great artist fair along the creek while we were there. Definitely a prime location to be in the center of it all!

Historic townhouse in a perfect location in downtown Frederick
This is a super comfortable historic home in a perfect location to enjoy a visit to downtown Frederick! It is very well appointed and Aaron was a very responsive host. Especially enjoyed the two staircases, the comfortable living areas, the large private patio area and the Pacman game! Would definitely stay here again!

Great stay, great location
We stayed a week for April vacation, and the apartment was perfectly located for day trips to all historic locations. The house was very quaint and clean and the location next to Carroll Creek in downtown Frederick couldn’t be beat. It was just a short walk to all shops and restaurants, and we would definitely return. A perfect stay for Civil War buffs!

Frederick Fun
Girls trip to Frederick to see a performance at the Weinberg Center. The house is charmingly funky with tons of character and historical / original touches. It’s been recently painted / decorated. The location for downtown is perfect; it’s safe, right by the creek and it took about 4 minutes to walk to Isabella’s, the Weinberg Center and The Bakehouse respectively. The host is an excellent communicator and highly responsive. We’ve already decided to book here again. Highly recommend!
