About this property

Private Studio on the Monocacy River. Sleeps 4, 1 Full Bath, Kitchenette

This River House is located on the Monocacy River with a beautiful open view of the river and the Antietam National Battlefield on the opposite shore. Downtown Frederick, Maryland is just 3 miles away and offers a fun variety of restaurants, pubs, breweries, shopping and cultural activities. Your getaway could be taking in the scenic view, drifting down the river or heading into downtown Frederick for some lively entertainment. Bring your fishing rods! The Monocacy boasts large and small mouth Bass, carp, and catfish. A brick charcoal barbecue grill is offered for outdoor grilling.

There are 3 units available in the River House, with this private studio occupying a portion of the 1st floor. The studio has its own dedicated large deck for entertaining, just a few steps away, that affords wonderful views of the river. There is not a direct view of the water from the room. Hickory hardwood floors shine throughout with custom pine doors and cedar closets. This new construction includes a kitchenette with microwave oven, refrigerator, and coffee maker. This cozy studio has a large full bath with tub/shower combination, a queen size bed and a comfortable convertible sofa that can sleep 4 adults. There is also free access to a full-size washer and dryer. Pets are welcomedat an additional fee but must be crated when unattended.

We have had some issues with noise from the Villa (2nd floor) making it hard for guests in the two lower units to sleep. So, there is an 11 pm excessive noise curfew for the Villa when either of the lower units is occupied. Also, we recently installed several hundred cubic ft. of cellulose sound dampening insulation in the ceiling of this unit to re-mediate the issue.

Pets under about 50 lbs are welcomed at an additional fee of $40 per pet, per stay, but must be crated when unattended. I can make exceptions to the fee structure for small dogs or multiple pets.

In support of the global effort to conserve energy resources utilizing reasonable practices, we have installed Ecobee “smart” thermostats in all of our listings that the guests can also control. The thermostats are preset with a maximum heating setting of 72 degrees and a minimum cooling setting of 72 degrees.

Outstanding Host!!
From the very start of our booking, Mr. Bartlett was a fantastic host who went above and beyond for us. Due to a scheduling error on the part of the website, NOT the host, we weren't sure we could keep the initial reservation. However, Joe was right on top of it and ensured we had a place to stay at the house, without any hassle to us. The home was gorgeous, and the view of the river, even in late September, was the perfect getaway for my wife and I's trip. Anything we needed, and any questions we had were quickly answered and/or fixed, without question, or argument, and with absolute professionalism. Joe(Mr. Bartlett) could not have been a better host, and my birthday weekend could not have been a better trip. If I am ever back in this area, I know exactly who I will be contacting for another reservation. Thank you, Joe, The Kindsvaters.

Nice place on the river
Location is great. It sits in a secluded part of Frederick along the Monacacy River. If you wanted restaurants, businesses or downtown Frederick they all were plentiful and less than 8 miles away. I was there for my Godson’s confirmation and ask Joe if I can have some family over for a small barbecue. He was understanding and permitted it but just said respect the neighbors space. It was a good size yard with a fire pit and scenery of the river. There is a charcoal grill provided for barbecue cooking. Room was adequate for relaxation and a place to sleep. The air conditioner worked great.

Great little spot on the river

Not Happy
Place was not clean. Towels were dingy and frayed. The air was musty. The only place to sit was on the edge of the bed or on a bar stool because the futon was broken and was laying flat. The listing was confusing because it showed pictures of a porch that was not part of our unit. I had to call the manager 15 minutes before check in because he had not given me key codes etc. I had rented the unit for one week. I left after two days and checked into a nearby hotel for the remainder of my week costing me additional expenses.
Stayed 7 nights in May 2023
