About this property

Gorgeous 1840 Log Cabin- Downtown

Very unique Beautifully Renovated Historic 1840 Downtown Frederick Log Cabin House. There really isn’t anything like this in Frederick. The house is so close to everything downtown. Its about a ten minute walk to the Canal. The holiday season is my wife s favorite time of year in downtown Frederick. The streets are all lit up and looks beautiful.
It has all the amenities of a house to live in full-time. I set it up to live in and ended up moving to Hawaii. Everything is brand new outside of the logs for the cabin and the flooring. It is truly beautiful.
There are so many things to do in downtown Frederick. There are restaurants and bars working a 10 min walk from the house.
I bought the cabin about 4 yrs ago. There were no windows, doors, electrical or plumbing. It was a full renovation to it back to its original beauty with all the modern amenities. It is now a super comfortable place to stay.
There is a photo album on the coffee table showing the renovation process.
I hope you enjoy the log cabin as much as my family does.

Great place to stay!

Really amazing use of space. The house is great for checking out the downtown area restaurants or staying in for a meal. It’s laid out well and every detail is excellent, from the decorations to the helpful explanations around the house (like labels on the light switches). It was a great stay!

Log Cabin January 2025 trip

This is my go-to place to stay in Frederick, where I visit a sister often. It is a historic cabin beautifully renovated, very comfortable and clean and in a to die for location: right downtown, close to the night life and restaurants of Market Street but just far enough way so that the property itself is quiet and peaceful. Love it!

Wonderful little cabin in the heart of the city

This is a beautiful and well maintained property. We appreciated the blend of old and new styling and the kitchen and baths are top notch and well equipped. The location is great for walking to everything in downtown Frederick. As most people who live in a city know, the private driveway is a valuable asset. We would definitely stay there again.

Great location and great space for multi-generation stay

Visited MD for a family wedding weekend and this property and location had everything we needed for three generations that stayed together!! Walkable to local restaurants, coffee shops and bars. Uber ride from nearby locations was affordable. Bathrooms were big enough for getting ready. And the kitchen had all that we needed to make meals together! Great response from the host on a couple of quick questions!

Great location in downtown Frederick!

Our family stayed here for our daughter's wedding. We didn't spend a ton of time at the house, but it was a wonderful location to walk to downtown Frederick, both in the morning to stroll along the river walk, and at night to check out the bars. The house is a lovely mix of old and new. And was very well appointed with all that we needed. Would stay there again in a heart beat, but don't want to marry off my daughter again any time soon!

Comfortable, convenient, clean, and cute!

We - five related senior citizens - rented the "Log Cabin" for five days and utterly enjoyed our stay. The property is lovingly renovated and well equipped, it is clean and offers ample space for privacy and coming together. The full kitchen is a great plus, but the house is located very close to a variety of restaurants, so meal options abound. Downtown Frederick is charming, fun, and very walkable. Hood College is also within walking distance. Fort Detrick is within an easy car ride, as are a number of historic sites. Danny-the-Host was very responsive by text and even by phone. We had to call him once at an odd time of day, when a thunderstorm tripped a circuit breaker, and he answered immediately. If I were to leave one suggestion it would be to make location of the circuit breaker panel more apparent, to save the trouble for future guests (and himself) in a similar situations in the future :)

About the host

Hosted by Danny Gasemy

Host profile image
I grew up in Montgomery County Maryland, moved to Frederick in 1999 for about 6 years and fell in love with the small town feel. I lived Southern California for 11 yrs and then moved to Hawaii, but always come back to visit Frederick. My home away from home. Have always loved the historic buildings in Frederick and I love restoring them back to their original beauty for others to enjoy.
I was in construction for about 15 yrs and loved the work, but didn't like the long hours. I walked away from construction and have been a full-time network marketer and real estate investor since the early 2000s. I got married in 2017 to an amazing woman and we decided to move to the Dallas area. My wife and I enjoy traveling around the world, exploring new places and learning about different cultures . Life is meant to be lived and have fun with the people you love!
I hope you enjoy our unique properties as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

I was going to live in the cabin but moved to Hawaii for a year. This was such a unique place right in the middle of downtown. There is nothing like it. I thought it would be so much fun to bring it back to life and let others enjoy a little bit of history. I grew up in MD and lived in Frederick for about 5 years and fell in love with the city. I always come back to see my family. I am happy that others can enjoy it as my as I do.

What makes this property unique

There are only a few places this cabin in the downtown area. It took a long time to renovate it and and so much extra care to keep a lot of the original parts of the 1840 cabin. It looks beautiful now!!! It’s got 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms. One with a stand up huge shower and the other one has a bathtub.
