Arboretum Suite in the historic Manor House!

Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway! The Arboretum Suite gives you a part of both identities of the historic Manor House at Gayfield. The bedroom is in the Manor House, with the original heart pine flooring and elaborate molding from circa 1850. And the living/kitchenette area is a in the bright and alive Greenhouse that was constructed in the 1970's. The Arboretum Suite has a cool balcony area that is outside the living/kitchenette area, and inside the colorful Greenhouse!

There is an 850 yard long path down to the large Monocacy River which borders the East edge of the farm. There is about 1500 ft of river frontage, but it's not really possible to manicure the river bank so you'll need to work your way down to the water as if you were in the wild if you'd like to fish or launch a kayak.

Currently several animals from D&D's Petting Zoo and Pony Rides are boarded at the farm and include ponies, a zebra, a miniature donkey, goats and other such critters. The animals are very friendly!

In support of the global effort to conserve energy resources utilizing reasonable practices, we use a maximum heating setting of 71 degrees and a minimum cooling setting of 72 degrees.

The Manor House at Gayfield Estate was originally built in 1850 by the Jarboe family, and currently sits upon 144 acres of farmland in Central Frederick County. The farm has had three owners, currently owned by the Bartlett family and before them the Morans and the Jarboes. Thomas Jarboe served as a County Commissioner in the 1800's and William "Bill" Moran was a world-famous knifesmith.

The Jarboe family commissioned a major addition in 1895 when the Northwest turret, 4 rooms on the Southeast side, and the stone water tower were added. So the Jarboe family had 'running' water in the 1800's, which was rare at the time.

Although the house has been modified over the last nearly 200 years , all of the wood floors throughout the house date from 1850 and in some rooms 1895, and nearly all of the woodwork dates to the same periods.
During your stay at this apartment building, you'll be close to Buckeystown Community Park. A kitchenette and a Smart TV are available in the apartment.

Short Retreat
Despite VRBO’s booking software double booking this rental during our stay (entirely VRBO’s fault), Joe went above and beyond to accommodate us. He generously provided us with a wonderful replacement accommodation in one of his beautiful rentals nearby with river views. I would absolutely book with Joe again, but will only do so on another platform that VRBO will not permit me to specify... VRBO’s booking system is unreliable and their support team refused to take any responsibility for their technical errors.
