About this property

Restored, Historic Mill House Near The NCR Trail

  • Quaint, Maryland Registered 1856 Mill House close to the NCR Trail, Gunpowder River, Little Falls and Prettyboy Reservoir. Enjoy a quiet retreat in our small but charming cottage near beautiful farms and wooded hills, with a flowing spring, two patios, and second floor porch. Almost five acres of grounds with a stream and small field. The house has a first floor modern kitchen with stone walls and dining area. The second floor is a truly magical log sided living room, bathroom and porch. The bedroom is located on the third floor. A quiet and peaceful retreat for relaxation and rejuvenation, far from the madding crowd (but not too far - Big Truck Farm Brewery is 3 miles away). Ideal for couples and singles seeking a quiet place to work or play. House is NOT handicapped accessible. There is a chimnea on the patio and firewood for guest use. The fireplace in the house is not presently operational.

A wonderful getaway less than 1 hour from Baltimore

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Just a short drive from Baltimore, we were able to reset in nature which was very needed. The house is very clean, well-maintained and well-stocked. It's perfect for a couple. We can't wait to hopefully return in warmer months and spend some time on the deck.

The property was beautiful and well maintained. It is quiet and secluded, tucked in the woods. The host left everything for us to have a perfect, quiet weekend. The house is nearby to breweries and hiking trails.

Perfect midweek getaway for a nature retreat

Beautiful, peaceful property. This was the perfect home base for me as I was attending a nearby training immersed in nature. Host was generous and responsive. Can't wait to return with my husband for another getaway.

artsy interior and serene surroundings

A lovely home with even lovelier art and amenities nestled in the woods for all the privacy one could want while being surrounded by nature. All one needs for a very relaxing get away. We were in town for a wedding and I only wish I had more time to explore and enjoy.

Lovely Getaway

I was so happy to find this listing close enough for a weekend trip from Baltimore, but far enough that it felt like a million miles away (while still being able to watch the Orioles at a nearby restaurant!) This is a lovely property that feels very private, but not isolated. Everything you'd need was available. Perfect early autumn location with great foliage and hiking trails nearby. We felt at home and are already talking about a return visit!

Always Great

This is our third time visiting the Mill House and the reason is simple: it is consistently always clean, quiet, relaxing, and a beautiful place to spend a sunny weekend. We enjoy coming to the Mill House when we want to "disconnect from reality" an recharge. This visit, we made sure to make it and hike some of the great trails in the area which there are many. We'll definitely be returning again in the future.

Perfect!

This was our second time at this wonderful place. First stay was in January, so this time we were able to enjoy the outdoor spaces, especially the front balcony & the chiminea. The house is lovely and extremely comfortable for two people. The kitchen is spacious and well-stocked, the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, yet close to amenities. Everything you need for a restorative getaway weekend!

Beautiful home in a Peaceful Setting

If you get the opportunity to rent this house, do it! The house was beautifully decorated and so comfortable. It had everything we needed. The host was good with communication. The house is located in a quiet and beautiful area with many things to see and do and places to eat nearby. Our favorite part of our stay was taking walks along the road in front of the house. No traffic and a beautiful stream runs alongside the road.

Perfect once again

This is the second time my girlfriend and I have stayed here with our dog. We both find so much peace in this property. Everything was perfect just as we remembered it. It was a bit too cold this time around to enjoy the deck as much as last time but the house is so cozy that it didn't bother us. David is a great property manager with punctual communication.

Serenity - Weeding Weekend!

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Historic Mill House through VRBO for our wedding weekend, and we couldn't be happier with our choice! The house was exceptionally clean, and the kitchen and bathroom had been wonderfully updated. The host had thoughtfully stocked the kitchen with various essentials, which turned out to be a lifesaver when we realized we'd forgotten our shampoo on the morning of our wedding. The property's yard is an absolute gem. Surrounded by trees, it offers a tranquil and private atmosphere, making it a perfect space for kids and pets to run around freely. One of our favorite moments was sipping coffee on the second-story balcony in the mornings, and then later enjoying evening grill sessions around the fire. We wholeheartedly recommend this place and are already planning our return. It was an unforgettable experience!

We rarely rent the same home twice but love the charm and comfort of this beautiful home. We rang in the new year again playing games in the kitchen. The middle floor is super comfortable where we lingered sipping morning coffee while watching a movie. The bedroom is decorated with comfort in mind and the bathroom is nicely done.. The house is very clean, and thoughtfully decorated to ensure a nice stay! Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Great vaca away from it all

My wife and I really enjoyed outmr stay at the Old Mill House. It was exactly what we were looking for: away from the city, but with all the amenities if home. We especially enjoyed the use of the chimnea and grill on the patio, and the hammock on the balcony. Would definitely stay again!
