Beautiful property
Beautiful property in a great location on the edge of Frederick. The property is stocked with everything you could possible need and the welcome pack of groceries was a lovely touch (no need to find a shop before you unpack). Deborah was very welcoming and provided lots of information prior to the visit and came to introduce herself on the first day to ensure that we were happy. We have every intention of returning the next time we are in America!

About the host

Hosted by Grove Management LLC

Host profile image
My husband was born and lived all of his life in Frederick. I moved to Frederick in 1968 and never left. We began building our life together in 1973. When we retired, he was an accountant and I was part owner of an Engineering and IT firm. We bought this property in 2005 because it had a large estate on five acres with a 2000 square foot building shell in the back of our property. I designed the buiding with several purposes in mind. Initially, I needed space for my engineering firm so I designed a large entryway and four rooms (to be used a offices), a full kitchen, and a full bath. When my company eventually outgrew the building, I converted it back into a home for my mother. After she was no longer able to take care of herself, it was time to use it for visiting family and friends. I also opened it up on VRBO and AirBnB to fill in the vacancies........ and we never looked back.
