About this property

Hollow Hideaway is just the place if you looking to get away and relax.

Hollow Hideaway is ready for the holiday's. We decorate our home to make your Thanksgiving and Christmas a memorable stay. Our guests are welcomed with a festive holiday gift basket for the month of December when they enter the home for their stay. So come stay with us and enjoy your holiday in a quaint, friendly town and celebrate in style.

Hollow Hideaway is a family-friendly home surrounding by beautiful peaceful mountains.

The home was newly restored, designed and furnished by the owners in 2023 having all the amenities you could ever need while on your stay. It is private and comfortable, offering picturesque surroundings which might even include wildlife when you least expect it. Wolfsville is a very small, private and quite town with very safe surroundings allowing you to walk, run or bike. The neighborhood is friendly and will make you feel at home. There are security cameras by front and side doors for your protection.

When designing, we thought of luxury first. The beds include brand new memory foam mattresses so you feel like you are sleeping on a cloud, covered in plush 1000 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets, a fluffy duvet comforter and firm pillows that cradle your head with comfort. Bedrooms include dressers, closets and suitcase stands for your convenience. Our bath towels are large, thick and soft to dry you after coming from a relaxing rain shower. The gourmet kitchen has everything you will need to make a simple meal for one to a Thanksgiving feast or Christmas dinner for all guests. When you wish to relax outdoors, you have a choice of relaxing on the covered porch listening to the sounds of nature while enjoying a table-top fire or sitting under the stars with a roaring fire in our open firepit, complete with grilling grate to be able to cook hot dogs, hamburgers and more outdoors over the fire. But, if you don't want to build a fire, the charcoal grill will do the same with a little less work involved.

If you are looking for something to do while you stay at our home, our surroundings have plenty of nearby activities for you to try that are only a short drive away. If history and exercise are on your agenda, Gambrill, Catoctin, Cummingham & Washington Monument State parks offer hiking, biking, informational tours and even swimming. The Battlefields of Gettysburg, Monocacy, Antietam and Harper's Ferry offer driving and walking tours rich in history on the Civil War. Historic downtown Frederick offers not only history, but restaurants, shops, parks and more to take up your day. The Appalachian trail is within walking distance from our home and High Rock Overlook in Pen-Mar Park offers beautiful views and para-sailing. In the winter months, Ski Liberty or Whitetail ski slopes offer skiing, tubing and snow- boarding. Our town streams offer trout fishing when in season and the Potomac River is perfect for kayaking & fishing as well. Shopping, restaurants, antiques and more are all within 10 to 20 minutes away and Baltimore and Washington DC are both within 70 miles. The location offers plenty of activities to fill your day or you can sit back, read a book, play a board game or play any one of 60 video games from Pac Man to Astroids on our arcade game machine as your entertainment.

If beverage tours are your thing, we have several wineries, distilleries and breweries close by. We can even book a private tour for you at any number of locations, allowing you a behind the scene access that is not available to just anyone. Just ask the property owner for assistance.

We offer FREE WIFI to all our guests and our cable services are provided by Xfinity offering over 125 channels. All TV's are smart TV's allowing you to use your accounts for streaming your favorites. Kitchen includes stove/oven, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, crock pot, toaster, Keurig, blender, mixer, coffee pot and more. Utensils & dishes are provided. Toiletry kits are included in each bedroom along with trail size dish detergent, dishwasher detergent and laundry soap. Snacks and water are available in kitchen along with coffee and creamer. Accommodations include dining table and chairs which are separate from the kitchen.

If you would like a special alcoholic beverage when you arrive, please let us know. As long as you meet the age requirements, we can have your favorite drink cold and ready for you when you check-in for an additional fee.

Response from VrboOwner on 18 Sept 2025
Kevin, thank you for taking time to leave us your review and I am sorry to hear that you were disappointed with our departure time, but I am confused by your review as our times for arrival and departure are clearly listed when you decided to make your booking. I do try and offer early arrival and late check-out whenever we are able, but in the rare times we have back to back bookings it makes things difficult to offer that option. I know one of the reasons you decided to stay is our reviews comment greatly on how extremely clean and comfortable our home is. It does take time and care to make that happen and that is why we ask for additional time. I will be asking if my cleaner would be comfortable with a bit later check-out in hopes that we can make our departure time a better time for everyone. Thanks again for choosing Hollow Hideaway for your stay.

Great stay!

We really enjoyed our stay! Check-in was easy. House is cozy and clean. Loved the patio and we had a fun time with the arcade machine. The only cons are the lack of cell signal and the 9am check-out, but they have great wi-fi so we were fine and the check-out time isn’t a deal breaker for us most of the time. We’d happily stay again!
Stayed 2 nights in May 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 12 June 2025
Thank you Kristy. I truly appreciate the review. I'm glad you had fun with the arcade game. They were all my childhood favorites. I'm sorry I couldn't offer you a later check out. I always do if I dont have back to back guests, so you sleep in and relax before leaving. I struggled a long time with picking the check-out time. I had it set a bit later when we 1st started with VRBO, but I had a few guests where we had issues with leaving at the scheduled check-out, which then put us very close to our check in time to get it cleaned. So, I set it at 9am in case we ever had the same issues in the future. Yes, beyond the house, because we're are nestled in a valley, cell service can be sketchy. It's a trade for our quiet and beautiful surroundings with starry skies. It is the very reason I pay additional for lightning fast wifi for my guests. Thank you for understanding. Believe me, I know what a pain it is. I live directly next door and I keep hoping a tower with go up soon. Thank you for being amazing guests and please know our door is always open when you pass this way again. Stay safe. Suzanne

I thought of comfort and cleanliness first when we designed our home. I spared no expense on furniture, mattresses, sheets and towels to make our home luxurious. I make sure the home is sanitized before each guest arrives and our neighborhood is quite and quaint.
