Other Details to Note

STEPS The house is historic and has narrow stairs that may be difficult for some people to manage. There are 4 steps outside, 12 steps from the 1st floor with the bathroom, office, and main bedroom, and 13 steps from the 2nd floor to the 2nd bedroom. PARKING The parking space is in a private lot a 2-minute walk away. Some large SUVs or trucks may be a tight fit. Street parking is available in the event the parking spot is too small. PLANTS We have live plants in the house, which can occasionally attract a soil gnat. We treat the soil regularly to avoid this. TEMPS The house is historic and is drafty, which can be chilly in the wintertime. We provide space heaters and draft snakes. The attic is the hottest room and heats up when you crank the heat. It has a window fan unit and portable fans. Nice and cool in the summer thanks to our brand new HCAV with UV filtration for extra clean air. DOGS We love hosting well-behaved pups, but to keep our home feeling fresh and comfortable for all guests (some of whom may have allergies), we accept pets on a case-by-case basis. If approved, there’s a $75 pet fee (already included if you added your pup to the reservation), which helps us cover the extra time and care our cleaning team devotes to resetting the space — plus, it lets us continue offering thoughtful touches like dog blankets, a gated kitchen, and little treats. We just ask that pups aren’t left alone unless crated, use the nearby green space for potty breaks, and enjoy snuggles on the couch with a dog blanket. 🐶 We’re always happy to chat about your furry companion and see if we’re a good fit. 💛 LOCATION The house is located in a downtown area. There is sometimes street noise, neighbors/people smoking as they walk by or in front of their homes along with other noises/smells that happen in a city. Cannabis has been legalized in MD as of July 2023. We are unable to control the sounds and smells outside of the house. LOST & LEFT-BEHIND ITEMS While we’re happy to check for forgotten belongings, we are not responsible for any items left behind after checkout. If we do find something, we’re glad to ship it back! Guests are responsible for the cost of shipping, plus a $25 handling fee. Please note: we cannot guarantee how long return shipping will take. We will request full payment before shipping back.

Our stay was great! We had everything we needed. Loved that we just parked the car and walked everywhere!! Jennifer was quick to respond to any need we had. Perfect for what we needed. Will be back in the future.

Great place to stay! We were in and out of the house visiting family so we didn’t get to enjoy the home as much as we wish! But everything was great and we would recommend! Great hosts! Thank you!!

Very comfortable place, right in the heart of the city. Clean and well set up, and the owner was friendly and communicated well. Everything went smoothly and it was exactly what we were looking for.

Within a short walk to Carroll Creek, restaurants, bars, and shopping. The home is exactly as described and Jennifer was responsive and very helpful. Additionally the furniture was very comfortable for everyone, even the couch. (this includes the member of our group that's over 6'2" and 250 lbs) We recommend The Red Brick Retreat very highly.

I highly recommend the Historic Red Brick Retreat on Market rental home in Frederick, MD. The rental home is close to the Carroll Creek waterfront and the restaurants and shops in downtown Frederick. The hosts also pay for a dedicated parking space close to the home, so there is no need to fight for street parking. I recommend this rental home for a couple or family traveling together, there are two spacious bedrooms and one clean, well-stocked bathroom. The hosts are responsive and friendly and the check-in/check-out process is easy. While we visited this location for an anniversary trip, I would recommend this home for anyone traveling for work, the dedicated workspace is phenomenal and includes a printer and standing desk. One note for those traveling with pets, although the home has a fenced-in backyard the rules forbid dogs from using the backyard as a "potty" and you will still need to walk your dogs while staying in the home! I would definitely stay here again!

We loved our stay in Frederick! The row home was authentic, antique, spacious and more than adequate for our stay, with great touches all over the home. We loved the proximity to our family, the short walk to sights and food, and the recommendations provided. We will likely stay here again on our next visit in-town.

I enjoyed my stay at Jennifer’s house and will definitely stay here again when I’m in the area. The beds are very comfortable and everything is exactly as described. Great location when visiting downtown Frederick.

This is the 2nd time I’ve stayed and I will try to stay here again anytime I’m in Frederick. Clean and beautiful space with a comfy bed and walkable location. It’s also great I can bring my dog!

This is a great Airbnb. My wife and I were visiting Fredrick MD as a possible place to live and Jennifer's home was the perfect place. First of all, she is an extremely thoughtful host, with the place well stocked, clean, and comfortable. There was clearly a lot of thought into how to provision the place so that it is comfortable and welcoming, blankets on the couches, and hooded quilted blankets (I thin they might be called comfy cosies?) for the outdoor gas fire (which was awesome.) I particularly appreciated the full workspace with a standing desk. I am a digital nomad, and most Airbnb's are vacation homes. In other houses I have had to rig nightstands together to make a desk. Not here! It was a joy to work there. The location couldn't be better, right down the street from Carol Creek Park and lots of good restaurants nearby. We loved this house and Fredrick. Highly recommend

We had a great weekend staying at The Redbrick Retreat. The house lived up to expectations and Jennifer is a very communicative and proactive host. The location was wonderful for walking around downtown Frederick. Our stay was comfortable, the location convenient and charming, and I highly recommend checking out The Redbrick Retreat if you're planning a trip to Frederick

We are in walking distance to all the fun, and the city is easy to travel around by car or bike. We are 2 min from the MARC train station by car and about 8 min by foot. Uber/Lyft/Taxis are available and easy to grab to anywhere around the area. The side gate (accessible from the sidewalk) allows you to easily bring your bike inside the private fenced yard for protection, and hangers on the wall are there for storage.
