Homey Caretakers Room in historic Manor House! | Apartment in Frederick
1 Bedroom Apartment in Ballenger Creek, Frederick
Welcome to the Caretakers Room on the 2nd floor of the historic Manor House at Gayfield! The Caretakers Room is private, situated with a queen size bed, and affords views in two directions of the farm. With modern heating and air conditioning, a rustic 1960's tub and spa style vanity, and a kitchenette with appliances the room is comfortable and accommodating. The Caretakers room also has a large closet and lots of storage in the drawers in the bed!
The kitchenette is set up with a 2 burner cooktop, and a basic supply of pots, pans and cooking utinsils.
Upon entering the front door of the Manor House you'll find a large foyer. All guests have shared access to the Common Area, Greenhouse, and Common Area full Kitchen (with range/oven) on the 1st floor as shown in the pictures. Please do not disturb the fish in the greenhouse, and remember the area is shared so please clean up after use.
There are multiple Suites in the home, but each is separate and secure.
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.
