Whether you want to explore civil war battlefields, hike the Appalachian Trail, dine  in historic Frederick,MD, or just retreat to one of the most breathtaking valleys in the lower mid-Atlantic, ZigBone Farm Retreat has got something for everyone in your group. 

If you're looking for a summer vacation spot, come escape the sweltering city heat with mountain breezes and cool nights, and eat the valley's fresh fruits and vegetables, including those grown in our own garden. In the fall, Harbaugh Valley explodes with autumn colors, as does nearby Catoctin National Park -- perfect for biking or hiking. Sled or cross-country ski in the winter or take a short trip to nearby Liberty Mountain Ski Resort, then cozy up by our Vermont cast iron wood stoves with a cup of hot cocoa.  In the spring, it all starts over again: the sheep graze on fresh grass, farmers plant their fields, and the valley turns green and lush. 

At every turn at ZigBone, there is a special spot for taking in the views. Pull up a rocking chair on the front porch and read a book as you look out over the farm fields. Or cozy into an Adirondack chair on the stone terrace to watch the swallows swoop over the meadow.  Relax on the old stone bench set into the garden wall and chat with friends and family. For the kids, everyplace is a playground worth exploring. Something for everyone at ZigBone!

What Our Clients Are Saying

"Zigbone is heavenly and down-to-earth at the same time. I just revelled in a superlative writing retreat there, where our host and Zigbone co-owner, Dena Leibman, made us all feel at home. The accommodations are perfect and comfy, the setting is splendid, and every detail was attended to. Food was out-of-this-world and our brilliant writing instructor/muse taught us craft and more with kindness and warmth. I can't wait to go back to Zigbone. " - Patti

"
My son and daughter-in-law just had their wedding at the end of July at Zigbone.  What a magical and charming venue!  The setting was breathtaking!  The wildflower display and lush green surroundings were spectacular!  Everywhere you looked, it was so picturesque."  - Trudy
