Family-friendly holiday rentals in Frederick

This is our second time staying at one of Laura's properties and each time has been terrific! What you see is what you get... a large fully functioning home with easy check-in, nice amenities, responsive host and easy check out! My family and I had a great time, thank you Laura!

We loved our short stay at Mason’s place!! We needed a peaceful getaway to just relax and it’s exactly what we needed. The hot tub was amazing, and we hiked all around the property and campgrounds! Had so much fun connecting with nature and relaxing. Also loved how many amenities, spices, oils, pots and pans, etc in the kitchen!!

My father and I stayed at Elizabeth’s place for my brother’s graduation from Gettysburg. We thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet of the location. Elizabeth’s place was beautifully styled and I really appreciated her attention to detail. Elizabeth was a great host. She was so responsive and I could tell genuinely cared for our every need. I would recommend her place!

Really beautiful place with lots of character! So peaceful and amazing views!! We loved it. :). Thanks Julie!

We are so thankful to Jason and his family for sharing their special place with us. We immediately felt right at home and had more than enough room for all 3 adults. We were immediately blown away with the breathtaking river right in the front yard! We never saw anyone else on the river the whole trip so it felt like we had it all to ourselves too. We started our day listening to the river while drinking coffee on their beautiful deck. And, then later in the day, we enjoyed tubing down the river, leaving from a nearby bridge and ending the trip back at the property. I have a service dog, named Charlie, that did everything with us too (including floating down the river) and I think he enjoyed it as much, or more, than we did too. We wish we had made the trip a little longer because we never got a chance to use the hot tub on the deck, or the fire pit, etc. We hope Jason’s family will have us again because we’re already dreaming about coming back again next summer!

Excellent stay! Beautiful locale! Would stay again for sure!

Easy peasy, would stay again!

This cabin and location were as peaceful and relaxing as they come! It’s close to Shenandoah National Park if you’re looking for some hikes or other outdoor activities, but it’s a perfect place to just hang out in nature and relax. We did not want to leave and can’t wait to go back!

My husband, son and I had a beautiful stay at Judith’s cabin! It was SO beautiful and peaceful as a location and Judith provided many comforts, from the amazing bathtub to the front porch swing where we sat for hours looking at the stunning vista and listening to the birds. The moment we arrived, she was on the spot with fresh, hot, homemade blueberry muffins that we so much appreciated. The hiking was easy and beautiful from the cabin. We can’t say enough good things about our stay!

I can't wait to go back! The house itself was more than comfortable for 2 very large dogs and my husband and I. The property is very serene, private and just beautiful! Sitting outside you can watch their 3 horses in the pasture or look at the lake (or walk around it) with it's gorgeous white water lilies. If your looking for a place to destress or just looking for a quiet area, this is the place. My dog's go 160 and 114, so you can bring your pups here too

My friend and I loved our stay! It was a lovely little neighborhood. Alex and Shelby’s place was everything that we needed. Cute and quaint. Only the slightest of pitter patters heard from upstairs. Very clear instructions for checking in and checking out. Convenient for public transportation and provided metro cards were a great gift. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in the DC area!

Julia's place is an Idyllic setting - so tranquil, yet close enough to a great tavern for dinner. Amazing - we cannot wait to come back.

This house was adorable and is in a location that couldn't be beat! We enjoyed our stay - coffee and wine on the decks and easy walks around the sites and shops in the lower town. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was well-stocked and the views from everywhere were amazing! Easy 20-ish minute drive over to Loudon County wine country, if that's your destination. Check-in and check-out was great. Easy with flexible timing, which we greatly appreciated. Dean was VERY helpful, especially when it came to parking - we brought three cars and he made sure we had ample space, even when some of our drivers were unsure of the narrow roads. (Roads are hilly and corners are sharp in the mountains, if you are not used to that.) The house could use a good dust and sweep, but dishes and linens were clean and plentiful. Not a dealbreaker, unless you have allergies - but it is an old house, after all, so some of it is to be expected. We would gladly stay again!

Tara and Shawn were great hosts! The place was comfy, they were easy to communicate with, and great of all, we got to hang out with their awesome goats and feed them snacks!

The house was so uniquely quaint! It was truly a time to unwind from the craziness of this world! No TV other than in the upstairs bedroom and no Wi-Fi, which made it so nice to “unplug”! The sauna was absolutely amazing! The two options of fire pits to relax and have s’mores! The fireplace in the main living room was such an added bonus, to take the chill off in the morning and to just have a nice fire in the evening before bed. The fact that they had food there for us for breakfast was truly amazing! A bottle of wine to share, which was great considering we were there for our anniversary. You can get to so many places within 20 to 40 minutes! We went into Harpers Ferry for dinner at the Rabbit Hole! Harpers Ferry is a must to visit if you are in the area! Tons of trails, white water rafting and things to see and do are all just a short drive away. If you want a place to truly unwind, this is it! 🥰

Ballenger Farm is perfectly situated right before entering Purcellville, which gives you the perfect balance of feeling like you're away in the country, but with everything you need including gas, restaturants, pharmacy, and grocery stores within a 2 mile square radius. It's perfec for letting the dogs run around leash free and letting the kids explore every nook and cranny of the property. Not having screens in front of their faces was amazing and they just lit up and had so much fun. Exactly what we wanted! From fishing in the pond every day and catching multiple perch, to smores by the firepit, the family had the perfect little Memorial Day weekend! Thank you to our hosts for being super friendly and responsive!

The pictures do not do it justice! We booked this stay for 7 adults to spend a birthday weekend together. The four main bedrooms on the first floor were spacious and comfortable, the kitchen had plenty of counter space (and was very well stocked with anything you could need) We appreciated the charm of the historic dining room and living area and felt like this property balanced the historic/rustic charm with the modern essentials like AC, good internet, modern appliances, a well maintained hot tub, etc very well. Hikers, you can get right onto the lower town trail from this airbnb. Don’t bother driving and paying the parking fee if you’re willing to tack on two relatively flat miles on the front and back end of your hike. Highly recommend checking out Harper’s ferry brewing! Beware: not to state the obvious but there are very limited Ubers in town so plan accordingly!

This was our second stay at Janel's place and it was just as enjoyable as the first time. We loved the fireplace and views from the A frame windows. The hot tub wasn't working unfortunately, but things happen and Janel was communicative about it. Had a great weekend regardless. Also love that Janel is accommodating of dogs. Our fur babies were happy to join us on our getaway.

We had a great time and parked right in front of the apartment. After I stood there and held the spot for our big truck. Lol took my hubby an hour to get back to me but I remained standing for him to park and not letting anyone else park there 🤣🤣🤣🤣 place was great. Thanks!

Greg’s place was very clean and in a great location. Walkable to markets, restaurants, and metro. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. It was a great place to stay during our family vacation to DC!

Calvin's place was exactly what we needed and much more. It was described accurately, yet exceeded expectations with tiny details. For example, there was not only coffee and tea available, but creamer in the fridge, too. We had a peaceful night sleep and a nice shower. I recommend this place to anyone needing a quiet space to work and stay in the area.

We had a wonderful stay at this cabin! Close enough to all the hikes we wanted to do. Pet friendly (huge for us) and beautiful views! Please make sure you read the whole listing, as you definitely need a vehicle with 4 wheel drive to get up the driveway. We brought our own towels, sheets, and so on as stated and everything else we needed was available. Would recommend bringing dish towels. We had forgotten them this trip. Cooking pots and pans are little outdated but they’re just fine! We had a wonderful taco night anniversary dinner at the cabin and throughly enjoyed a nice soak in the hot tub. There’s a very nice above ground pool also but it was too cold this time of year to swim in. I would definitely stay again!

This home was the perfect place to celebrate my daughter’s graduation! We had family travel in from several states, and everyone felt comfortable and truly enjoyed the spacious layout. It was a bit too chilly to use the pool, but I’m already looking forward to booking this home again. I’ll definitely be a repeat renter!

We had a wonderful family reunion here with 3 generations. Each family had their own private space but there was tons to do on the property together as well. The hosts were very responsive to our questions and made sure we were comfortable and happy! We appreciated that the kitchen was well stocked, too.
