Family or Group Getaways |
Whether you want to explore civil war battlefields, hike the Appalachian Trail, dine in historic Frederick, 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! |
