About this property

RETREAT on the CREEK - Businees Travelor or Weekend Getaway. HISTORIC DISTRICT.

FANTASTIC HOME and an IDEAL LOCATION in the HISTORIC DISTRICT. Beyond the back gate, you can walk 60 easy steps to enter Carroll Creek and get to any of the great Restaurants, Pubs, Antiques Shops, History Museums, The Library, Theater etc!

Come stay at this LARGE 3BR 2BA row home and enjoy all that Downtown Frederick has to offer from this Central location. Take advantage of one of the great Festivals or Events in Frederick County, or right in Downtown Frederick on the Creek. Great for the business traveler, or for a weekend getaway! Cable and WIFI. 2 Parking spaces directly behind the house.

Our home was built in 1860 and has original wood floors throughout, a formal living and dining room on the main level, and a fully usable kitchen. The washer and dryer are off the kitchen if needed. There is a full bath on the main level, and full bath on the upper level. Upstairs you have 3 good sized bedrooms and one of the rooms has bunkbeds. The back room has a private balcony overlooking the patio which is nice (see pics).

Listen to any of the Alive at Five events right off the balcony, or in the backyard.

One of my favorite features is the backyard area which is fully fenced and has a large patio. This is a great area to sit and relax and enjoy Downtown Living. The backyard area feels more of like an enclave type setting which backs towards Carroll Creek and Downtown Frederick.

From this location you can walk 1 block North to “Serenity” which recently opened, and is a downtown Grocery Store/Deli…if you need anything during your stay.

This is also a great area to bring your bike, or take a long walk and explore Downtown Frederick, Baker Park, Shab Row, etc! One block East of this property is the Frederick Visitation Center and they have plenty of literature and information on all the events going on throughout Downtown Frederick throughout the year or visit their site

Come check us out, you will not be disappointed!

Great Stay! Wonderful Location!

A perfect location in Frederick. The Carroll Creek Canal is right behind the house and is beautifull! Aaron gave us excellent recommendations as to where to visit and eat. The house is older but clean, tidy and comfortable. We did use the kitchen to cook and gave Aaron a few pointers to improve what he had for utensils. Overall, I would come back again. Thanks Aaron

Missing Few Small Amenities

The location allowed us easy access to Historic District which offered many shops/restaurants/walking areas and enjoyed 2 parking spots. It would have been nice to have ice trays-some way to make ice, more towels (stayed 4 nights and was given 3 bath towels and "1" washcloth), and having 4 chairs around outside patio table (4th was broken). Owner was very responsive.

Convenient to the Creek!

Perfect location for a friends' weekend reunion. Steps out the back door to the creek with plenty of shops, bars, and restaurants. Extra bonus that there was a great artist fair along the creek while we were there. Definitely a prime location to be in the center of it all!

Historic townhouse in a perfect location in downtown Frederick

This is a super comfortable historic home in a perfect location to enjoy a visit to downtown Frederick! It is very well appointed and Aaron was a very responsive host. Especially enjoyed the two staircases, the comfortable living areas, the large private patio area and the Pacman game! Would definitely stay here again!

Great stay, great location

We stayed a week for April vacation, and the apartment was perfectly located for day trips to all historic locations. The house was very quaint and clean and the location next to Carroll Creek in downtown Frederick couldn’t be beat. It was just a short walk to all shops and restaurants, and we would definitely return. A perfect stay for Civil War buffs!

Frederick Fun

Girls trip to Frederick to see a performance at the Weinberg Center. The house is charmingly funky with tons of character and historical / original touches. It’s been recently painted / decorated. The location for downtown is perfect; it’s safe, right by the creek and it took about 4 minutes to walk to Isabella’s, the Weinberg Center and The Bakehouse respectively. The host is an excellent communicator and highly responsive. We’ve already decided to book here again. Highly recommend!

Couples Weekend

We were looking for an area that we could experience a bunch of microbreweries all in close proximity to one another and walking distance to the breweries. This home was exactly what we wanted! The Carroll Creek district is a fun, safe area that is within easy walking distance of many great eateries. We even were able to sneak away on a blustery, snowy Saturday morning to get some history in at Harper's Ferry a short 30 minute drive away. It was a perfect location for what we were interested in!

Hidden Gem

We had such a wonderful time here. It is just steps from Carroll Creek and S. Market St. where all the action is. House was clean, beautiful and we loved the 1861 built charm. 2 parking spots in the back are a huge asset as you are downtown and street parking is limited. There is a parking garage very close but who wants to tote your luggage that far? :) We went walking for festivities and then came back to the house multiple times for breaks and rest as it was so close to everything. We booked Fourth of July on our ride back because we were so impressed.

Classy 1800’s townhouse

Yes, read the other mentions about the stairs. But if you’re reasonably fit it’s not any problem. And the back stairs have a railing that makes them quite navigable. We never use the front door; we just went out the back door, through the lovely patio, and into Carol Creek and all the wonderful shops and eateries. In terms of cleaning fees vs tasks the host requests you do before departing we were asked to make sure the dishes were clean and put away, to strip the beds and put all the sheets and towels in a garbage bag. Nothing more. The beds were comfortable and since I love historic houses it’s a simple thumbs up for me. Because of the time of year we didn’t get to enjoy the back patio very much. I’m sure this place is equally delightful or even better in seasons other than winter

About the host

Hosted by Aaron Marsh

I am born and raised in Frederick MD and my family has deep roots dating back to the mid 1700's in this area. As a REALTOR, I enjoy showing and selling all that Downtown Frederick has to offer. Frederick has so much to offer and I would love to share with you if needed. I am very accessible for any questions and/or recommendations you may have. My granddad was born on East All Saints Street so I have a little bit more passion for this home and area.

Why they chose this property

Historic Downtown Frederick. Truly in the heart of a vibrant downtown location. Literally, just steps away to the creek and all the Carroll Creek Promenade and Downtown Frederick Partnership has to offer throughout the year. You will not be disappointed in this location! 1.5 block walk to Frederick Visitation Center. Within one block north of here you are at the square corner in Downtown Frederick and get to anywhere by foot.

What makes this property unique

One of my favorite features is the backyard area which is fully fenced and has a large patio. This is a great area to sit and relax and enjoy Downtown Living. The backyard area feels more of like an enclave type setting which backs towards Carroll Creek and Downtown Frederick.
