About this property

Beautiful & Secluded Countryside Retreat

  • Kick back and relax in this new (9/2024) calm & space set in 50 acres at the base of Sugarloaf Mountain in Montgomery County’s Agricultural Reserve. Pets, including horses, are welcome. Dedicated high-speed WiFi - verified @ 776 mbps and dedicated HVAC. An adjacent suite (contingent upon availability/separate booking) sleeps 4 with similar amenities.
    The space
    Comus Sky Farm is a 2-level country estate built in 1973. The views are of forest, fields and Sugarloaf Mountain. Apart from the occasional sounds of dogs barking, gunshot (in season), & air traffic heading to and from DC, it is extremely quiet and private.
    Guest access
    Guests have access to their suite and all of the property/land except the main house, garage, and farm equipment areas.
    During your stay
    Hosts will meet guests upon arrival whenever possible then keep to themselves preferring to communicate via text.
    Other things to note
    An adjacent suite is available for booking contingent upon availability: Early check-ins & late check-outs are not permitted primarily because of liability policy; however if it is clearly conveyed on this platform in the message thread, & approved by us, it’s all good. Follow us @comusskyfarms on Instagram.

    A friendly large breed dog roams at will yet can be penned if required.

    420 Friendly. *Outside only.

    Guests of all races, faiths, genders & sexual orientations are welcomed. We respect neurodiversity and inclusion.

    Parties and Events

    Disruptive gatherings are prohibited, regardless of size.

    What we don’t allow:

    Disruptive gatherings
    Open-invite gatherings
    Disturbances such as:
    Excessive noise
    Excessive visitors
    Excessive trash/littering
    Smoking nuisances
    Parking nuisances
    Trespassing
    Vandalism

    Our space is located deep in the countryside. Though we treat the exterior to keep out pests including insects and mice, this is a reality of nature. Our space may not be a fit for those who are extremely phobic of these and other wildlife.

    Guests should be aware that the forest is home to many creatures great and small. Some of the tiny ones may get into the house from time to time. NO REFUNDS will be granted because someone encountered or heard a bear, coyote, fox, spider, fly, wasp, a mouse, rat, or a snake, etc. There is no extra charge for the full nature experience!

    A signed liability waiver for use of the E-bikes is required for each operator.

    Trails, property boundary line & pasture signage is in place.

    Please respect the boundary lines to avoid trespassing on neighboring lands. This is important as game hunters are territorial creatures and we don't want you getting shot!

    NB: As this area can be unpredictable for the weather, there is a possibility of serious storms or power outages. We do not offer weather related refunds outside of our cancellation policy so you may wish to purchase trip cancellation insurance for your travels in case you do need to cancel last minute.

    We HIGHLY recommend purchasing trip insurance to safeguard against unexpected events before or during your stay. Once the non-cancellation period begins, having this coverage can be particularly beneficial. You can purchase trIp insurance through the booking platform.

    In the event of snow/ice conditions, a 4WD vehicle is suggested to navigate the long and hilly driveway to your stay. An ATV is available to collect you, any pets and luggage at the front entrance, if necessary.

    Hunting is permitted of wild turkey, deer, dove, geese, rabbit, squirrel, coyote, etc. - in season only - and in compliance with Montgomery County, MD’s strict regulations. Schedule available upon request. Valid hunting license, written permission from host, signed waiver and certification (proof) of all/any weaponry required. All remains following kill/dressing must be disposed of in a responsible manner, into the woods and inaccessible to resident domestic animals on property.

    Thank you for your understanding!

Awesome stay, check in was a breeze and the room was clean and spacious. We enjoyed the projector system in the room and the view from the hot tub out back is phenomenal. Juanita is both a pleasant and supremely responsive host. We would absolutely stay again.

If you are a nature and animal lover this place is for you. Juanita is a gracious and accommodating host. The property is well kept. The rooms are similar to hotel rooms with a queen size bed, small kitchenette: mini fridge, hot plate, microwave and Keurig. We had a firepit outside our room that my husband used multiple times per day. It was a much needed respite from our daily lives.

The room was clean and pleasant, the hot tub was perfection, and the Zeus was sweet. The lock on the door was broken and we couldn't lock the door unless we were inside. We didn't use it, but the safe wasn't fixed and could easily have been taken from the room. The remote to the projector didn't work and try as we might, we couldn't get the app to connect either. But the view was stellar and it was a lovely, quiet place to spend an anniversary weekend. Overall, it was a nice experience.

Great room! Front door wasn’t able to be locked so it felt a little unsafe. The home is pretty rural, but there are other guests on the property so there was concern. Host mentions uninvited guests (mice) on the listing and though we were careful with our food, we did encounter a mouse going through our dried goods on the counter. The projector came up and down at will, so at night we just put on a blank video and turned off the sound so that it didn’t go up and down randomly in the middle of the night. But other than that, wonderful people, all the farm animals are very sweet, and you cannot beat the beautiful sunsets!
