Welcome to the Tower Suite! On the 3rd floor of the Manor House, the Tower Suite is situated with one queen size bed and a comfortable convertible futon and provides awesome views from the observation deck of the tower! With modern heating and air conditioning, a 72” vintage soaker claw-foot tub, and a kitchenette with appliances the Suite is stylistic and comfortable. The authentic 3rd floor of the Manor House has headroom limitations so this Suite is not for the super tall! The space Guests in the Tower Suite also have the opportunity to access the observation area at the top of the turret via a folding staircase. The railing is a little low so please no small small children and please be careful, but it's a really neat up there! Also please keep in mind that because of the headroom limitations in the bathroom, there is no shower- just a huge clawfoot soaker tub. Guest access Upon entering the front door of the Manor House you'll find a large foyer. All guests have shared access to the Common Area, Greenhouse, and Common Area full Kitchen (with range/oven) on the 1st floor as shown in the pictures. Please do not disturb the fish in the greenhouse, and remember the area is shared so please clean up after use. There are multiple Suites in the home, but each is separate and secure. There is an 850 yard long path down to the large Monocacy River which borders the East edge of the farm. There is about 1500 ft of river frontage, but it's not really possible to manicure the river bank so you'll need to work your way down to the water as if you were in the wild if you'd like to fish or launch a kayak. Currently several animals from D&D's Petting Zoo and Pony Rides are boarded at the farm and include ponies, a zebra, a miniature donkey, goats and other such critters. The animals are very friendly! In support of the global effort to conserve energy resources utilizing reasonable practices, we use a maximum heating setting of 71 degrees and a minimum cooling setting of 72 degrees. Other things to note The Manor House at Gayfield was originally built in 1850 by the Jarboe family, and currently sits upon 144 acres of farmland in Central Frederick County. The farm has had three owners, currently owned by the Bartlett family and before them the Morans and the Jarboes. Thomas Jarboe served as a County Commissioner in the 1800's and William "Bill" Moran was a world-famous knifesmith. The Jarboe family commissioned a major addition in 1895 when the Northwest turret, 4 rooms on the Southeast side, and the stone water tower were added. So the Jarboe family had 'running' water in the 1800's, which was rare at the time. Although the house has been modified over the last nearly 200 years , all of the wood floors throughout the house date from 1850 and in some rooms 1895, and nearly all of the woodwork dates to the same periods.
