Historical Thurmont Escape w/ Furnished Deck!

Reviews

• 4/5

  Appreciate the historical information and pamphlets of other attractions provided. Love the balance between modern and antique/rustic look. The room lights might be a little dark than we liked but probably personal taste. The only real issue we had is the smell on the bed at the main bedroom downstairs. It’s like a musty smell mixed with sweat, probably because the bedding had not been aired/dried properly. Not sure if it was intentional to mask it, but all the bedding linen had strong fragrance. But the smell still transferred to pillows placed on that bed. It’s the only complaint but I think it’s a major one since you smell this when you sleep.

• Bijzonder mooi verblijf

  5/5

  Heel speciaal om in zo mooi gerestaureerde historische woning te mogen verblijven. Heel sfeervol.

• Neat historic place

  4/5

  The house was neat and the modern updates were well done to keep it historically accurate. Linens and other supplied needs were easy to find and plentiful. All that said, this property is kept historically accurate. The lighting in the original house is kept to electric candle light level and there isn't really anywhere to gather and visit. There is nowhere to comfortably sit (again, completely understand historically accurate). The beds are much the same and quite firm. I appreciate the historical keeping of the house and it is a unique experience to stay. The area is also lovely. Overall, it is very well done for what it is just be prepared for what you are booking.

• A peaceful retreat

  5/5

  I spent a wonderful few days in the Catoctin Mountain area, hiking and learning about the local history. The house is really unique and full of rich history. Be ready for some basic furniture, but get immersed into the theme of the property. Elizabeth was extremely responsive and helpful. I definitely recommend a stay here!

• Wonderful home

  5/5

  Our family enjoyed staying at the Forgeman House. We loved the area and it was a unique experience and one that our kids will remember. Be ready to be immersed in history. We loved the very nice touches and the responsiveness of the host.
