1 Bedroom Place in Highland

Whether you're traveling for business, sight-seeing or coming for medical treatments this is the place for you.
The space:
We would like to share our little piece of heaven with you. Wake up in the morning, look out your window, & see horses grazing in the field? We offer direct access to Schooley Mill (an equestrian park) with scenic wooded trails for nature walks.
The pool:
The pool is open and heated in the winter. We ask our guests to cover the pool to assist in preventing evaporation and keeping the heat in the pool. The poolroom has a gas log fireplace when it is very cold outside will be turned on. If the fireplace is not on, guests can ask the owners to turn it on. Guests are not to touch the fireplace controls as well the granite surrounding the fireplace can be extremely hot. Please use caution especially with young children. We have a beautiful guard (fencing) around the fireplace as a reminder not to touch.
Pool which is open year round, but the pool is closed Thursday night from 6:30-9:15. The poolroom is a shared space, but when you are swimming, you should be the only ones swimming at that time.
During the winter I have raised rates because the pool is extremely expensive to heat during the cooler weather. Depending on the outside temperature, our utilities jump to about $2000. monthly. We would love to have you stay with us.
The pool is not private or exclusive during your stay. We use the poolroom as our entrance to the house.Other people may use the pool during your stay, we ask people to yield to the people already swimming which is rarely ever an issue. In between guests reservations, we put what is called shock out in the pool, which is a strong chlorine. WebMD discusses this very thing and says chlorine kills the virus. (Website hidden by Airbnb) Not sure if Airbnb will block this link but you should be able to read it on their site.
Gaining entry to the suite for the initial arrival of your stay:
There will be a lock-box with a key for the apartment door and a Ring Video Doorbell on the pole above lock box. If you have difficulty unlocking the door or need to contact me immediately for any other reason, our written phone number is on the lock-box as well just press the Ring doorbell and it will alert me you are attempting to contact me. When you end your stay, please just leave the key on the table in the kitchen. FYI For your safety and ours, there are Ring security cameras throughout the property and inside the pool room.
Guest access
You will have exclusive access to the suite and shared access to the pool which is pictured. During the colder months, we cover the pool to prevent evaporation and also helps keep the pool water warm. We ask our guests to assist with this, which owners will show how. The pool room is a shared space. The pool use is not exclusive, but while you are swimming you are the only people in the pool.

Just an FYI, all the supplies, I am leaving you, were not packaged in a commercial kitchen, they were packaged in my clean home kitchen.

Summary: I sent this text about nine days ago and still waiting for a response: Good morning Jim, This is Elizabeth Dahouk. We spoke yesterday regarding a refund for at least the last two nights we were at your property. As you recalled when we arrived, the AC was not working and the temperature unbearable at 85F in one room and the other 79F with noisy AC wall unit. Teressa was very apologetic over the phone and had offered a refund then, but also mentioned that an AC part was coming in the overnight mail promising the main AC will be fixed early the following day. We agreed to stay the night hoping the main AC will be fixed the next day before noon. Midmorning came and no news from Teressa. We called her late morning and her response that she doesn’t know the status of the AC and will check. The weather outside was a bit cooler and decided to stay and wait for Teressa’s update. Despite multiple texts as well, we never heard from her. The morning of the next day, we called and texted her with no answer. So, we decided to check out. By then, the temperature remains at 75 with noisy wall unit which made it an uncomfortable stay for us. Having said all that, you were very welcoming and the kids enjoyed the horses. Thanks and regards, Elizabeth

Summary: Took my wife and 5 year old daughter to Baltimore for a long weekend, and this rental made it a perfect weekend! Extremely clean place, with plenty of space for us. Great communication through the entire process. The pool was perfect temperature and clean. After hearing that my daughter loves horses, Jim sought us out on our way home from dinner our second night to walk her around and introduce her to his horses. The rest of the weekend all she talked about was her new horse friend “blondie” thank you Jim and Theresa for a great place to stay, we hope to be back!

Summary: This property is absolutely amazing! Jim and Theresa are the friendliest people you could ever meet! The pool was the nicest pool we have ever swam in, and we had it to ourselves the whole stay. We took a tour of the farm and fed the horses (23 horses!) We have stayed at a lot of places, and this one is definitely our favorite! The kids had an absolute blast! This property can comfortably sleep 5, the decor is beautiful antiques. We were tucked away, but LOTS of shopping and restaurants at right downtown the road. Washington DC is only a half hour drive away and absolutely breathtaking. I would highly recommend this property if you are visiting the area!

Summary: Stayed here a year ago and just came back—still outstanding. Swimming in the pool, feeding the horses, playing board games in the studio, and getting food from the excellent nearby restaurants. This place is the best.

Summary: It is decorated beautifully with wonderful antiques. The bed was very comfortable. It was very nice having supplies in the kitchen. Coffee and sugar we're so much appreciated. Washer and dryer were so convenient. The pool was lovely. Having to put the cover on and off was not an easy feat for us. Jim helped us which was a big help. Overall the property was wonderful.

Summary: This short getaway for our wedding anniversary was just what we needed. The hosts were so friendly but non intrusive. The place was quaint and we loved being on a farm with the horses and having some place to take a walk. The pool was a really nice bonus. We would highly recommend this place!

Summary: The pool was the main attraction as my (three) kids always want to go to the pool at home, and we swam for several hours every day. It was great. The rental property was cozy but had enough room to give everyone space. When we weren't swimming we spent time in the rental playing games and watching movies. The owners were always responsive and Jim even took some time (upon our request) to show us how to feed his horses.
