5 Reviews of Property 3474377 in Frederick, Maryland

If you're looking for a place to stay in Frederick, this is the perfect spot. It's within walking distance from almost everything.
On our recent stay we had two couples and one 4 year old so we needed something for everybody.
When you walk out of the front door, if you turn right, you're 2 blocks from North Market Street. There you'll find restaurants, shops, Starbucks and a brew pub. I pretty much gravitated to the brew pub and left the shopping to my wife and daughter-in-law. They're better at that with me out of the way.
If you take a left turn out of the door, it's a few steps to the end of the street and then left again, go 2 or 3 blocks and you come to Baker Park. Try to keep up with a 4 year old there. The park has everything to keep a little one occupied. It even has an amphitheater which I imagine gets some use in the warmer weather. When you think you've seen it all, if you cross the street to the west, it gets bigger. Also across 1 street to the south of the park is a dog park if you need one.
For a history buff, about 50 feet off of N. Market Street, on E. Patrick St. there is the National Museum of Civil War Medicine.
From the house it's also a short drive to Gettysburg PA.
I almost forgot to mention that the place has a full kitchen, tv, wifi, cable etc.
An now a word from my wife:
The home, the home, the home!!!
What a nice place, it is cozy and comfortable. Very clean, a home away from home. We enjoyed just hanging around and playing games. I would recommend anyone going to Frederick to stay at Darwin's Hearth. The owner is very accommodating and gets back to you quickly to answer any of your questions.
We plan to book it again in the future.

What a perfect "home away from home"! My father wanted to travel from Tennessee to spend a few days with me, my son and my grandson. Someone I work with told me about vacation rentals by owner. I really like Frederick and when I was looking for a place and came across Darwin's Hearth, I knew it was the place for us. Boy was I ever right! First of all, Christena was an absolute delight to deal with. She responded right away to emails and was very prompt in answering all my questions. I felt like I got to know her and like she really wanted to make our stay perfect. She even left a little something for my grandson! She just made the whole transaction very easy for me and my dad and that was important to me. When we arrived at the home, we were greeted by Frank and he was awesome too! He gave us a tour and made sure we had everything we needed while we were there. There was one day we were having a hard time figuring out how to start the dryer. We called Frank and within just a few minutes Marcela showed up and got us squared away. These are all just remarkable people to do business with. I had so many good things to say about our stay that my mom (who lives in Michigan), wants to stay here when she comes to visit this spring! I truly only have great things to say about the home as well as Christena, Frank and Marcela! And Frederick is just such a neat, historic town! The only thing we missed a little was a television in the living room. My dad likes to watch the news and he doesn't do well with stairs. But he survived and we all enjoyed our time together at Darwin's Hearth! I love your place Christena!!!!! A BIG thanks to you, Frank and Marcela for making our stay wonderful!

I found Darwin's Hearth when searching for a place to stay in Frederick to be near my family for an extended visit. The description and photos provided are absolutely accurate. It was a delight to work with Christena (the owner) -- she was quick to respond to all my questions and she is truly interested in her guests' comfort. The kitchen is beautiful and exceptionally well equipped. I hosted several family dinners and everything I needed for cooking and serving was there. All the appliances (including the washer and dryer) were in great condition. Some of the unexpected amenities provided were mittens and umbrellas! And toys and books for children! A very important part of feeling at home at Darwin's Hearth was the wonderful welcome I received from the hospitality team Marcela and Frank. They were there to greet me when I arrived and gave me a complete tour of the home answering all my many questions. I felt very comfortable and secure knowing they were only a phone call away. I did have to contact them with a question -- not only did they answer my call immediately, they came to the house within 15 minutes to make sure I had the information I needed. Frank and Marcela are the best! I would have preferred a Queen bed instead of a double in the master bedroom but that was a minor inconvenience. Darwin's Hearth is a wonderful century-old home near the historic downtown area of Frederick close to shops and great restaurants. I enthusiastically recommend it and I hope to have the opportunity to stay there again.
