Union Bridge Horse Farm
The place was great. Located near Westminster and Linganore Winery. Scenic roads and historic old homes in the local area. Jennifer was very helpful as were the horse owners we met there.

Perfect Peaceful Getaway
We had an amazing experience at this property! We found it clean and cozy upon arrival, and were greeted by curious horses nosing over the fences while we drove in. Jen was welcoming and responsive to any questions, and everyone we met was so friendly (humans, cats, and horses). I couldn’t recommend it enough if you’re looking for a quiet place to stay within easy driving distance of Frederick, MD or Gettysburg, PA.

Would not recommend
We were very disillusioned with the inside of the property in contrast to the description. We were prepared for the working farm environment however, during the course of our stay we killed over 8 dozen flies. Cobwebs were present throughout the inside of the property and "complimentary toiletries" were in actuality well-used, full-size bottles of various items hanging on a shower caddy. The shower curtain rod was not attached to the wall but rather sitting atop wood trim above the shower walls. The floor transition strip was broken and covered with a corner of a rug. The most egregious issue was realizing the bedroom was not built to code and that there was no egress/exit from the bedroom in the event of a fire. All in all, we purchased 2 fly swatters, brought in our own fire extinguisher (since none was to be found upon inspection), and did not unpack or prepare meals due to the amount of flies and fly excrement. We stayed because we had already paid for the week. We could not afford to loose this money and pay for additional accommodations, however this was really a disappointing experience.

Fantastic Retreat
We had such a wonderful time during our stay at the retreat. I truly loved the setting. The farm and surrounding area is beautiful with amazing sunsets! We were very grateful to have been able to bring our dogs with us to be a part of our vacation. The location was great to all our explorations. Thank you for all you did and looking forward to returning in the future!

Gorgeous getaway
My husband and I could not believe how lucky we were to find this lovely spot, so near to DC but feeling like a different world. The setting is rolling hills and fields (with horses!), the cottage is spotless and totally comfortable. Good reading chairs, great mattress & bedding, well-equipped kitchen made it easy to relax & settle in. We also enjoyed easy drives around nearby countryside & charming little towns. We did have a little trouble finding it - some technical glitch kept us from getting the directions on time - but once there we LOVED it and are eager to go back.

We had a very interesting stay. The owner helped us find a nearby clinic for Buddy on a Sunday. He ended up with pneumonia for the length of our stay. However, the area is phenomenal. What amazing country. This is ideal for anyone who loves the country, horses and great people.

If you need a break from city life THIS IS THE PLACE. Beautiful property, amazing sunrises, friendly horses, great hosts. Apartment is modern and stocked with everything you need for making meals. But really, I can't say enought about how peaceful and claming this little horse farm is. Bring your bikes, great riding to several nearby breweries.

Communication Issues
I sent an info request before booking, and did not receive a response. I thought it might be because I ended up booking shortly after. During my stay, there were dirty towels hanging on the back of the bathroom door, the water in the kitchen did not work, and there was a ceiling leak in the bathroom. I messaged just to let the owner know, not that it was a big deal, and received NO response at all. The last thing I want to do is mess with someone's side hustle, but it didn't seem right. Will stay elsewhere next year.

Thanksgiving on the farm
My husband, daughter and I booked this property as we wanted to stay convenient to our family and have our small dog with us. We loved this place! Being on a horse farm we were greeted by horses every morning, They stood on their fences waiting for us to come over and let them! The property is so peaceful and relaxing. Very convenient but outside of the congestion of traffic. The property has a fully stocked kitchen with every utensil we needed to prepare meals. Comfortable - and out dog was very happy here as well. We will definitely be back!
