Description
Vista Country Home is your country estate at the center of 100s of acres of rural splendor, close to battlefields that shaped America's history. PRIVATE, but not remote--only 2 miles from quaint Taneytown, with supermarkets, restaurants, even a Dollar store!
GREAT for families-and you can BRING YOUR DOG!
A fully furnished and equipped, SENIOR FRIENDLY 3-bedroom home, Vista offers vacationers and business travelers the COMFORTS of city and the BEAUTY of the country. Slumber in luxurious high threadcount linens of the 3 bedrooms, dine in spacious elegance of the big-family dining room, relax in the walled garden beneath a timber gazebo beside a sparkling fountain.
Seniors will appreciate that all rooms (except the optional 3rd bedroom) are on one level. This main floor opens onto both the south-facing balcony and the south & west-facing, hacienda-style walled garden, and has easy, one-level access from parking areas.
Free access to our 100-acre estate, with more than 2 miles of PRIVATE hiking trails along creeks, fields and woodlands!
Vista especially appealing for its proximity to key historic sites, and everyone will enjoy the sheer comfort, privacy, and beautiful setting Vista offers. It is an ideal spot year round for family gatherings or as your base for area visitor attractions.
Each bedroom enjoys VIEWS OF NATURE and country splendor from all the bedroom windows. Each bedroom has ultra-fine linens, and its own large bathroom.
The LARGE, WELL-EQUIPPED KITCHEN will delight any chef. Culinary experts and amateurs alike will appreciate the fine and plentiful tools, utensils, and cookware provided for preparing fine meals. Serve your meals with nice flatware and dishes and enjoy them outside in the gazebo, on the balcony, or in the large and elegant dining room.
The SPACIOUS AND ELEGANT DINING ROOM, with seating for 8-10 diners, and LARGE living room are bathed in natural light. Enormous and numerous windows open to hundreds of acres trees, fields, streams and wildflowers--all part of your own private country estate!
With Vista as your vacation base, you can easily drive to DOZENS OF HISTORIC SITES and some of the world's finest visitor's centers to experience history where it happened, and honor those who fought and died to make America the great nation it is today.
A mere 15-minute drive will take you to GETTYSBURG--to where Chamberlain stood moments before he ordered a bayonet charge down the slopes of Little Round Top; to Cemetery Ridge, where the rebel yell still echoes from Pickett's Confederates as they charged to the 'high water mark' of the war; to the Gettysburg Cemetery, where Lincoln delivered the most famous speech in history honoring those who gave 'the last full measure.'
Vista offers easy access to many of America's other most important historical sites, as well, including Antietam and Monocacy Battlefields, as well as cultural and recreational sites in and around Washington DC and Baltimore.
After a day of sightseeing, golf, or ANTIQUES SHOPPING in the many excellent antique shops in Carroll County, you can kick back at Vista. Sip a cool iced tea or glass of wine from under Vista's gazebo as steaks sizzle on the grill, and a red setting sun yields the dimming cornfields and sycamore trees to a constellation of sparkling fireflies.
Or, enjoy the Maryland traditional celebratory feast: a pot of blue crabs from Vince's Seafood, steaming in savory Old Bay seasoning, with cold bottle of delicious locally crafted beer, or a chilled glass of fresh apple cider from nearby Baugher's Orchard. Two large supermarkets are within 2 miles of Vista for your food & shopping needs, but check with your host for free, fresh, farm garden vegetables you can gather yourself!
Prefer to dine out? Vista is only 3 miles from Taneytown, where you can find WORLD-CLASS DINING at the Smokehouse Restaurant, the fabulous restaurant of the deluxe country hotel, ANTRIM 1844, an elegant ante-bellum mansion. At the other end of the cost spectrum, McDonald's, Pizza Hut and other familiar eateries are CLOSE and offer faster food alternatives.
The larger, but still nearby towns of GETTYSBURG and WESTMINSTER boast wonderful small-town character in pubs, diners, and family restaurants to please any palate and any budget.
For a quiet evening at your Country Home, enjoy a movie or documentary from a large collection of DVDs and videotapes for all ages, including many fiction and non-fiction Civil War programs, on 2 large HD TVs--one in the living room, and a separate TV (for kids maybe?) in the largest bedroom.
For a quieter evening, curl up with one of the many books in the Vista library of Civil War and American fiction and history books and periodicals.
Vista also offers you FREE WiFi for HIGH-SPEED INTERNET access with UNLIMITED DATA.
We invite you to be our guest for an experience of comfort and learning that you will cherish and will want to share with friends and family!
