5/5 Cabin was what we were looking for. Low historic ceiling and doorframes were part of the charm, however beware for those 5ft 8-9 or above. We loved going into Boonsboro for dinner. The cabin is very close to hiking and only a short drive to Antietam National Battlefield. Our focus of our trip was learning about the Civil War and this short stay was a perfect location to visit the surrounding sites. WiFi was strong enough for streaming documentaries in the evenings, but beware cell service is very spotty at the cabin without the WIFI.

5/5 Our stay was great! My partner and I booked over this weekend for our first get away together. We definitely enjoyed ourselves. Fall is a good time to go, the scenery is beautiful.The owner is friendly and warm welcoming. We had a late arrival due to our drive time and Howell waited til we got in to help us settled in. Gave us a tour around the home as well. We love how there is a folder guide for what is around to explore. We adventure out to the caverns near by, markets and a hiking trail. Everything you need is already there for you. The home is is nice with some history to it. If you are not use to farmland, it is extremely dark at night. But there are lights around the front and back as well sensor lights to help with it. All and in all for us we loved and enjoyed it.

1/5 We did not stay at all. The house had the strong smell of mildew/mold. With allergies we could not stay. Also we arrived about 1/2 hour early to check what coffee supplies to buy at the store before checking in. I knocked several times before entering and verbally called out. Was greeted by the owner fresh out the shower wrapped in towels who proceeded to tell me all the things wrong in the rental.

Manager's Response:
We want all guests to feel comfortable from the moment they arrive, and we’re sorry to hear this home didn’t meet your needs. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
- Our cabin is over 100 years old, built entirely of wood, and located in a wooded setting. Like many historic properties, it has a natural scent, but we can assure guests that there is no mold or mildew present.
- We thoroughly clean and maintain the home between each stay to ensure it meets our standards.
- Check-in time is 4:00 PM, as stated in the listing. You arrived closer to 3:00 PM while we were still preparing the space, but we tried to be helpful and make sure you had what you needed for your stay.
We appreciate your feedback, and we remain committed to providing a welcoming stay for every guest.5/5 Home was nestled in remote location. Very peaceful. Owner was very helpful
