Testimonials from Our Guests

  • "A place with all the comforts of home where you can grab a piece of nature, stop to think, meditate, take long walks in the woods or visit the mall in the nearby town, if that's what strikes your fancy." -- Denise, Austin, Texas
  • "This charming house is just far enough away from the hustle and bustle to offer quiet and privacy, but close enough to get wherever you want in just minutes." -- Sharon and Shawn, College Park, Md.
  • "I loved being nestled in the woods with a lively town on view below. There's plenty of comfortable nooks to read or play in, as well as a spacious living room with fireplace to gather around. A long deck hugs you to the hillside, or you can step out the door and hike. It's a peaceful getaway, but never boring; there's trails, a scenic railway, casual dining and back road drives close by." -- Karen, Silver Spring, Md.

Serving Softly at Page's

I have vowed to stop at Page's Ice Cream on every trip to Cumberland, regardless of season or dietary concerns (although it's closed in the dead of winter). It has hand-dipped ice cream and lots of frozen coffees but all I need is that smooth, creamy soft-serve. And you don't need to get a sundae; just a cup of the vanilla will do. Page's is located on the north end of Centre Street and its distinctive purple and yellow paint job is visible from our deck if the trees aren't too leafy.

Of course, the Queen City Creamery's not too bad, either.
