About this apartment rental
“Be our guest”...Our home is a historic 1882 3-story townhome in downtown Frederick. While we (John & Sarah) live on the bottom 2 levels, we’d love to welcome you to your own private apartment on the 3rd floor. The space is lovely and is comprised of 4 rooms...a family room, full kitchenette, full bathroom with shower, and a queen bedroom. The front door is shared with the owners, but once inside, the stairs (32 total) lead directly up to your completely private apartment. We have a keyless keypad for your privacy.
Location, location, location! The home is located on a quiet, residential street only 1 block from all the action on Market Street and downtown Frederick. You are literally walking distance to dozens of fantastic restaurants, bars, shops, Baker Park, Culler Lake, Carroll Creek, etc. We offer free parking for 2 vehicles.
While we look forward to welcoming you to Frederick and are available if you have questions, we value the privacy of our guests. Interaction with the owners is up to you. We want you to feel at home, relax, and enjoy.
Please keep in mind, we do have a sweet 13 year old shihpoo, Oliver. He does not shed because he is part poodle. He is a sweetheart and spends most of his day sleeping.
As for your apartment...
Bedroom: Queen bed with hypoallergenic pillows and comforter for 2 people. We provide all sheets, blankets and towels. There is a chair and bench for your luggage.
Family Room: a big, comfy sectional to relax. We have sheets, blankets and pillows for 2 more people. After a full day exploring, we hope you kick your feet up and relax in front of the tv (with cable).
Kitchenette: Frederick has a TON of great restaurants. However, if you’re in the mood to eat in, we provide all the basics!! In the kitchenette you’ll find a small refrigerator, sink, microwave/toaster oven, hot plate burner, coffee maker (with coffee), and plenty of table service.
Bathroom with shower (no tub), towels and wash cloths a plenty!

Check in was simple with very clear instructions from Owner. Apt. was clean and nicely furnished. Comfortable bed, very silky sheets. Plenty of towels in the washroom. A small stall shower, but great water pressure and temp. It was quite on the 3rd floor. The accommodations were everything needed, and I'd stay again.

Oliver's retreat is a charming, immaculate apartment that is only a few blocks from restaurants and shops. It was terrific for a girls weekend! Though the apartment is best for 2 people, the 4 of us had plenty of room. Two friends slept on the sectional sofas in living room, which were more comfortable than most sleep sofas. Sarah and I texted and she left the key for us, so it was like we had a completely separate entrance to the apartment. Sarah was extremely responsive anytime I texted her. Highly recommend this apartment!

We wanted to experience downtown Frederick, and this was just the place from which to do that. Walking distance from many restaurants and shops. Close to Baker Park where there is music on Sunday. Short distance to Carroll Creek water way and walk. Lovely neighborhood!

My husband and I stayed at Oliver's Retreat back in March (2023) for a long weekend getaway. We were celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary and had always wanted to stay in downtown Frederick. Oliver's Retreat was perfect! We were within walking distance to many restaurants and shops, including my favorite bookstore Curious Iguana. We were also only a short 15 minute drive to both the North and South Frederick Overlooks in Gambril State Park.
We loved the coziness and charm of Oliver's Retreat and we would happily stay again!

The apartment was perfect for our 2-night getaway. Since we were there on the weekend, we could easily park in front of the home. We didn’t need our car again until we left. We had a foodie weekend hitting coffee houses, restaurants and breweries/taprooms. The 3rd floor apartment was a perfect size for the 2 of us. Lovely decor with local art. The kitchen had the necessities, so no big cooking, but we brought cheese, almonds, bananas, etc. for snacking and a quick breakfast. We forgot to bring our coffee, but thankfully Sarah provided some in the kitchen! That held us off until we could get out to one of several cafes. We felt so comfortable in the apartment, and grateful for Sarah’s friendly communication.

We had a lovely time at Oliver's retreat. The host was accommodating and easy to get in touch with. The location is perfect, minutes from downtown restaurants and pubs. And the home is historic and has a nice scent of oak wood.

House was clean and the location was amazing for our weekend in Frederick! Only think I would mention the bedroom has a lot of really great natural light so if you want to sleep in - bring a sleep mask, it’s a bright early morning!
10.0
We had 4 people sleep here comfortably. My sister and I took the couch while the other two shared the bed. This host was amazing and had really made the 2nd floor super comfortable.
It's also a great location! We all walked around town and was easy to find parking while we were there. It is street parking so she did have to give us a parking slip to hang in our car.
Would definitely stay here again whenever I'm back in the area!

Quiet, Peaceful location in Downtown Frederick
We had a wonderful time visiting family in Frederick staying in this historic rowhouse well situated in downtown Frederick on a quiet and peaceful street. We spent time visiting our son's family who joined us one evening in the property's lovely garden behind the house where my 9-month-old granddaughter was fascinated with wild strawberries. We enjoyed eating out at several great restaurants within walking distance and indulged in lots of crab -- steamed, boiled w/Old Bay, fried softshell, in soup, and stuffed in fresh halibut as well as lots of other seafood. Being from Cleveland OH, we miss the abundance of fresh local seafood and relished it during our stay. We would recommendation these updated comfortable accommodations and look forward to staying here in the future. Our hosts were gracious and thoughtfully made sure we had everything needed.

Clean, comfortable and close to everything.
Sarah was an excellent host - getting in touch with me prior to arrival and providing all the necessary instructions for check-in and parking. The apartment is lovely and quaint. We were so happy we could park our car, forget about it for a few days and walk from the apartment to enjoy all that Frederick has to offer. We throughly enjoyed our stay. Wonderful!

Oliver's Retreat
The property was very small but adequate. Location to shopping and restaurants was excellent as was neighborhood in general. There were no closets or drawer space necessitating living out of suit cases and hanging clothing on a few hooks provided. The property met our needs during our stay.
