Please be respectful of our neighbors and downstairs tenant when inside and sitting on the porch. You can sometimes hear noise from the house below (including a TV). We also frequently have emergency services driving by, so expect to hear sirens at all hours. The white noise machine provided will help to dampen unwanted sounds when sleeping. QUIET HOURS 10pm - 7am SIRI We have an Apple home pod in the office which allows you to control the lights and temp with Siri. You can unplug it if you prefer not to have Siri.

Mellow on Motter is a gem! Comfortable, thoughtfully appointed, great bed and linens, and an excellent coffee machine. Location is close enough to downtown Frederick to be fun but far enough to be quiet. Hosts were reachable and friendly, but respectful of privacy. A+++ stay!

The accommodations are exceptionally comfortable and reminiscent of a home environment. Additionally, I was delighted to encounter the owl décor. I ran into some hiccups, and they were about to take care of the problem.

This was my second stay at 'The Mellow'. Jennifer and Matthijs are fantastic, accomodating, and super responsive hosts. I needed a stay for the weekend last minute and immediately accommodated me despite the fact they were traveling at the time. Their place was super clean, comfortable, and well stocked. The apartment feels more like a home away from home than a rental and has a nice office space if you need to get some work done. I love the location (close to a local market, restaurants, and coffee shops) and parking right by the door. As always, the bed is super comfy. Thanks again for a great stay!

Very spacious place and exactly as described. Extremely clean. The shower pressure was fantastic. They offer everything needed for a great stay including a very very comfortable bed. Also enjoyed the small seating area on the outside patio downstairs. Beautiful neighborhood and very close to downtown. We really enjoyed our stay.

We had a great time in Frederick - we used it as a homebase for trips to Baltimore and DC. It worked out well, and we were surprised at how much Frederick had to offer. There were several good restaurants and nice grocery stores nearby. The area has a rich local history and a great historic district with fun shopping and very walkable. We enjoyed the arcade setup for some evening downtime. Good curtains and a comfortable bed helped to get some much-needed rest. We would stay here again if returning to the area.

This stay truly exceeded my expectations. The space was clean, comfortable, and full of little touches that made it feel like home. Check-in was easy, and the hosts were responsive and attentive throughout. It was clear that a lot of care and attention to detail went into creating a great experience. The location was safe, quiet, and close to downtown. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

We loved our stay here! The house was quiet and peaceful, but also within easy walking distance to the shops and restaurants in town. Everything in the apartment was spotless, and I really appreciated all of the extra touches like the fan in the bedroom and provided snacks. The bed was also super comfortable and all of the linens felt very luxurious. We enjoyed our time in Fredrick and would stay here again if we return to the area!

Matthijs's place was awesome, even better than the description! It was so peaceful, and there was tons to do nearby, perfect for visiting family and hitting up all those breweries, golf courses, coffee shops, and restaurants. I'd totally stay again. Seriously, I feel so lucky to have stayed there! Ten out of ten, and the quirky vibe was one of a kind. Well done!

We had an amazing stay at this place in Frederick — it was absolutely perfect. The home was even better than the pictures, which is saying a lot! Everything was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up for a relaxing visit. The hosts were fantastic — extremely communicative, accommodating, and quick to respond to any questions. They also gave us excellent recommendations for things to do in the area, which really helped us make the most of our trip. We felt right at home and will absolutely be staying here again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Frederick!

I needed a relaxing/peaceful place to stay while in town for 4 days while my brother is in hospice. This air bnb was perfect!!! It is designed so cute and comfy. Loved the owl/mushroom accent wall. I really loved all the blankets and adjustable lighting in each room. The bed is one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. I got heavy good sleeps each night. The fancy coffee machine was perfect in the mornings to make espresso drinks! Loved that there was also a mini keurig coffee machine and tea! The kitchen has everything you need! Loved the easy combo washer/dryer that made my clothes smell very good. The Pac-Man old school arcade game in the office was super neat. I didn’t need to use the office but the it is very nice. Loved the thoughtful things like snacks/chocolate/makeup removers/lavender shower steamer/to go coffee cups/bed tray/games/bath tub tray. Loved that it was very close to the common market!! The owners were very friendly!!! I hope to be back!
