House on the Gwynns Falls


NEW INFORMATION: The property only sleeps 5 people comfortably

Welcome to Historic Dickeyville! Once a bustling village with paper and textile mills located within the Baltimore City limits, Dickeyville is named after the last mill owner, William J. Dickey. The Gwynn’s Falls, which once powered these mills, winds its way through the village and is now a scenic place for you to enjoy! Your home-away-from-home sits directly across from the Gwynns Falls river system and offers beautiful views of the surrounding 1,100 acres of natural forest. If you like serene, green habitats, you will love visiting Dickeyville. The property has a large mature perennial garden and front yard, with ample vehicle parking in front of the home as well as a pull in driveway for one car. The gardens are glorious starting in the Spring and provide for a lovely view from inside the home. The upstairs covered porch is a special place which to view the surrounding greenspaces and hear the sounds of the rushing water of the Gwynns Falls. I believe you will enjoy the serenity and country feel of historic Dickeyville, MD! .
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features 2 bathrooms and space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine and an ironing board.

Peaceful Place of Rest

Mary greeted us upon arrival and gave us a tour of the property and any instructions we needed to know and she was very sweet and inviting. The property itself is beautifully landscaped, clean, and quiet. There's a park nearby with a waterfall which blocks out the sounds of surrounding traffic. The bed is very comforable and gave my spouse and I a wonderful night of rest. Overall we would happily stay here again.

Weekend getaway

The house is a gem. Very unique older home. Very comfortable and welcoming. Renovations are almost complete. The house is pet friendly. The location is perfect if you enjoy hiking trails, friendly neighbors and a view of the falls.

Great Stay in Historic Village

We needed a getaway near Baltimore so we could visit some family and attractions. The location was easy to navigate to and is nestled in a historic village. We enjoyed the ambiance of the house and the host made sure we were comfortable. We highly recommend this stay to anyone who enjoys a unique and quiet getaway. We particularly enjoyed listening to the nearby waterfall from the upstairs balcony. The house was clean and stocked with necessities. We would love to return as we found many places in nearby Catonville that we would like to come back to someday soon. The host was great with communication and made us feel welcome.

Charming

The host was extremely friendly, meeting us inside and walking us through every aspect of the house. The home was charming, tidy, and full of lovely details. The beds were quite comfortable -- one bedroom is on the first floor and two others are upstairs. The host lives in an attached cabin, so was available to answer any questions or address any needs.

Fairytale Setting

What a lovely home, hidden away in the woods. The neighborhood is filled with older homes. You'd never guess you were 20 minutes from downtown Baltimore. The host was lovely and very responsive. We will absolutely be back.

Relaxing and charming getaway!

Upon arrival at the property, we were immediately struck by the vivacious energy of the garden. When we walked into the house, it was apparent the same love & care had extended into the home. The decor was wonderful to look at, and our entire experience was relaxing & rejuvenating. This was especially meaningful to us as we brought along 2 dogs (1 who is more vocal and reactive) and our concert tickets had cancelled as soon as we arrived from our travels. Mary was incredibly accommodating and thoughtful in showing us the house, providing recommendations, and reduced some of our own worries about our dog’s tendency to bark. Mary even laid out some pee-pads for our doggies! Mary was never far if we had any questions (lives in guest cottage that is connected to back of house), but we never felt a lack of privacy or intrusion. We would recommend this place to anyone coming to visit Baltimore, and will surely be back! :) We’d give the location especially a 14/10 if we could— Dickeyville is such a charming area and beautiful! Safety was never a concern. Even the neighbors were friendly! The pictures do not do the home justice, it’s gorgeous. Especially in the morning when the light fills the rooms— stunning!

Quiet Baltimore neighborhood by a park and falls

Last thing first - I would recommend and would stay again. Had a nice weekend stay that was far superior to a hotel stay at a comparable cost. Our dog was welcomed, and the park and falls (can hear the falls from the upper patio, very nice) provided a great place to walk. 3 beds and two baths provided plenty of space, kitchen had pans and spices and olive oil, and gardens were wonderfully kept. Mary was a gracious host and answered our questions when we had them. The neighborhood is full of 100-200 year old stone houses with plenty of history, and a very friendly vibe to the area. Great stay!
