RENTALS & RETREATS

“My family enjoyed the trails and being able to cook out each night. Fireflies and cows – a bonus touch!”

– Jaimie in Spring House

“The grounds were beautiful and wonderfully kept. Building a fire in the fire pit every evening and gazing at the sunset on the deck was the highlight of our stay. “

– Greta in Fox House

“This place has become one of my favorite places on the planet. The setting, the home, the good energy in the walls. It is the PERFECT spot for a retreat or gathering of dear friends. All of the folks at Fox Haven make hosting and being here so easy. If you have the chance to come through, trust me when I say: do it without hesitation. You won’t regret it.”

A FRESH PERSPECTIVE

Need to step out of the routine for new inspiration? Fox Haven is an incredible setting for your next getaway, social gathering, conference, workshop, or business meeting. Our three houses, barn, and dairy parlor have been beautifully renovated, with all the amenities to make your stay a rejuvenating, rewarding, and unforgettable experience.

Enhance work or leisure. Wander our gardens and woodlands, meditate by the gurgling stream, birdwatch in our birders’ paradise, laugh by the campfire. We’ll help you create a special personal experience with the addition of a customized private class or event.

We have varied educational experiences to offer, including garden tours and tea tastings, beekeeping basics and honey tastings, and guided nature walks.

Chestnut House

Chestnut House is a restored early 19th century farmhouse cradled by beautiful rolling hills on a gravel country road. A creek gurgles in the front yard, woods loaded with birds. It sits on the same part of the farm as the learning center, a repurposed Dairy Parlor, herb farm and orchard, and a big red barn – no animals. Walking trails and the country road provide breathtaking views, birds of all sorts, and the Catoctin Creek is home to big blue herons, eagles, beaver, and plenty of rich plant life – a feast for the senses! Frederick is only 15 minutes away, with all of the fine dining, fine arts, performing arts, wonderful shops and entertainment you need. Antiques, civil war history, rock climbing, canoeing along the Potomac or Shenandoah Rivers, outlet shopping, mountain biking and so much more are all within 15-20 minutes of the house. Washington D.C. is about a 50 minute drive, as is Baltimore. So close, yet you feel so far away.
