Summary: We rented the house this weekend since it was near our daughter’s wedding venue and it was everything Janet and Tony said it would be!! Highly recommend! It was beautifully decorated and in a quiet and peaceful location. Kitchens and bathrooms were stocked and the boys enjoyed using the pool table. We ended our stay with coffee on the front porch for a few hours. We even left something that they made arrangements for us to get back. Would definitely stay again!!

Summary: Our extended family met up here from 3 different states and had a fabulous long weekend! We had everything we needed as far as cooking tools and cookware, we brought our own condiments (and food, of course) but there is Tabasco and mustard and lots of spices available! Note there is no dishwasher so we used paper plates often just to cut down on dishwashing time on vacation. The whole house is very clean and there are plenty of towels in the kitchen and bathrooms! The pool table was great and we all honed our pool skills. It is out I'm the middle of nowhere and it was a bit of a tough drive for our elder family members but they parked their car that one time once they got there and were along for the ride when we went to Harper's Ferry for a historical visit (we picked up pizza at The Pizza Shop in Martinsburg on the way back and heated it up at 'home' - really good pizza!) and to Buddy Lou's in Hancock, which was a super fun night out - good food and great service! Shower pressure is good and the watervheated up quickly and the house is toasty (we didn't get much heat out of the stereo can fireplace but it looked pretty). We also had a nice walk over the hill in back and walked to the beautiful creek area...I can only imagine how fabulous it would be in warmer months. Overall, a wonderful place to stay and relax and enjoy ~ thank you, Janet & Tony, for welcoming us into your home!

Summary: Our family gathered to attend a wedding near McConnellsburg, PA. The Gordon Homestead was everything we could have asked for and more. Off the beaten path with acres of surrounding fields, woods, and creek, the farmhouse has been updated to provide all the modern conveniences while retaining its rustic origins. We loved playing pool in the game room, sitting outside on the porch and balcony, and making fires in the wonderful fire pit near the most beautiful mimosa tree. The landscaping around the farm house was beautiful, and we enjoyed seeing all the hummingbirds and butterflies and deer. We were about a 15 minute drive from Hancock, MD and a 25 minute drive to McConnellsburg, PA. Berkeley Springs was a 30 minute drive. It took us about 40 minutes to the Hagerstown airport. A wonderful getaway spot but also near enough for sightseeing, shopping, and other activities. A real gem! Thank you to our hosts!

Summary: The communication was superb. There were no surprises or I wish I had asked moments. I am just thankful that there are hosts like this who are willing to share their family treasure with total strangers. My family and I could not have asked for a better location, bedding & linens, kitchen equipment, and freedom to live there the few days we were able to spend. If you want peace and quiet this is the place!

Summary: We came here to celebrate my mother's 90th birthday. This house reminded us of the farmhouse that she grew up in. Janet and Tony are wonderful hosts! The only reason that I did not give 5 stars across the board is because when we arrived we were unable to gain access into the property because of an issue with the door/lock. That being said, Tony and the caretaker got the issue resolved in the time that it took us to go to dinner, and were extremely happy with the rest of our stay! Got to see some wildlife during our trips as well. Would definitely recommend. Very peaceful and relaxing.
