What a wonderful place to relax and enjoy this year's fall!! We stayed in the Whitetail Ridge Cabin, well equipped and decorated for the harvest time, and received a warm welcome with check-in. The cabin was 100% clean, with mattresses and bed basis sealed in dustproof covers, thin quilt, pillows with pillow cases, dish towels, a small bottle dishwashing liquid, sponge and scouring pad. (I am sharing this detail so that future visitors do not pack unnecessary items). The firepit had a grill on which we barbequed while watching the full moon rising through the trees. My favourite place was the swing on the front porch. This Cabin's porch faces the fireplace area, the road and some of the permanent campers, and is surrounded with plenty of trees. It was a bit difficult to spot the trails everywhere through the thick carpet of leaves and I think I took an unexpected shortcut. Two state parks on the way to Thurmont have various picturesque trails. The falling of leaves at Ole Mink farm, instigated by slight breezes, is a memorable experience. …

We stayed in Coffee Hollow Lodge, 8 in our family. Perfect for our elderly mother as it was all on one floor, no steps. Comfortable, clean, and amazing hosts! Greeting us was a sign with our name on it, and some home made cookies. Made us feel like they were really happy to have us. During a storm while we were there, the lights went out, and they immediately came to our cabin with a big lantern for us. They went out of their way to do what it took to ensure we had a good time. We stayed there last year, and will be back again next year. It is a highlight of the year for our family to enjoy our family get together there!

We were so kindly greeted with a batch of fresh cookies at check in! The staff was absolutely incredible and knowledgeable of the area. Cabin was cute, cozy, and clean! The sites were big enough for 2 cars and there was a nice covered picnic table. Bathrooms were pristine. We had a lovely time!

My husband and I were met at the time of check in by warm and friendly people that made us feel at home right away. Check in was flawless and they had warm fresh cookies as a gift. The cabin was excellently maintained and comfortable. It was quiet and peaceful. A great relaxing getaway. Located right across the street from the wedding venue we were attending. We will definitely want to visit here again.

Our stay at the cabin in Old Mink Farm exceeded expectations, as usual. It is our go-to place when we want to get away and enjoy each other's company. The fireplace is gorgeous and there was plenty of seasoned firewood. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes and cookware, the beds are comfortable, there are numerous cable channels, the phone reception and wifi are reliable, and the furniture is comfortable. The Irons family thought of everything when they designed this cabin. Speaking of which, you will not find more caring or kindly hosts anywhere. We have been coming to Old Mink Farm since 2003.

Another amazing stay! We are never disappointed with our stays in the cabins at Old Mink Farm. My family of 2 adults, 2 older teens, and a mid-sized dog stayed in The Quiet Oak this visit. The cabin was clean, warm, and ready for us with a personalized greeting upon arrival. There is always enough firewood for both the indoor fireplace and outdoor firepit, the kitchen is well stocked with everything needed for a comfortable stay (traditional coffee maker, toaster, gas oven and 4 burner stove, refrigerator/freezer, large table, cookware, dishes for 6, silverware, dish soap and sponge/towel. The cabin is also well decorated for the season. Bring your own sheets, towels, and toiletries, but the beds are comfortable and are supplied with pillows and a comforter (we still brought additional pillows for our comfort), and there is a nice bathmat to greet your feet when exiting the shower. Also supplied in the bathroom are soap and toilet paper. The shower is a good size and the bathroom is very clean. Water pressure and temperature are never an issue. The dog was comfortable on either couch in the living room (2 two-seater couches) and snuggled up in bed with us at night. She also loved walking with us on the Woodland path and playing in the fenced doggie area by the playground. We enjoyed the gameroom, which has video games, a pool table, air hockey, and a number of non-electronic options (puzzles, board games, books). We visited the store during our time there to get some ice cream. They also have any essentials you may have forgotten, including ingredients for s'mores. Staying in the cabins during winter is nice as it is very quiet and peaceful. The entire Irons family is amazingly friendly and helpful. We did not require anything during our time there, but talking to them during reservation, check-in, our store visit, and check-out, they are just such good people to work with. We look forward to next year's visit!…

From the moment we entered the campsite the experience was excellent. The staff were kind and welcoming and the store was quaint and homey. Our cabin was perfect! It was beyond my expectations in cleanliness and the attention to detail made us feel right at home! So much more than a cabin in the woods! We will definitely stay again.

The beds were too short for me, at 5' 11", the coffee maker didn't work, and the distance to toilets & showers made them mostly inaccessible; however, this basically is a campground, with some air conditioned cottages. The price was high, and the regulations far too detailed and strict.

We are disappointed to hear that your stay was not all that you hoped for. We are a camping resort in the mountains offering seasonal campsites as well as luxury and camping cabins. We are always looking for ways to improve, so we appreciate your feedback. We wish you had brought the broken coffee maker to our attention, as we certainly would have replaced it. We make every effort to be transparent on our website, and it does state that bathroom facilities are 100 yards from the camping cabins. To operate any successful business, policies and procedures are necessary to maintain a safe, enjoyable family-friendly environment. Thanks again for your feedback, and we hope you find a facility that better fits your needs.

Grandpa and grandma, all three kids and their spouses and all seven grandchildren (ages 3-13)! Magic! Two family units booked a weekend stay on this first visit, but the rest of us (15 total) had day passes. Great pool, fun game room, comfortably cozy cabins and the truly memorable snow cone human hamster wheel. We will be back.

Really good place to relax with family, the cabins are in very good shape, clean, great views and good atmosphere. Great airconditioning. The pool was a nice place to hang out. The cabins are already equipped with everything we need. This is our third year visiting and we will continue to visit
