Quiet Apartment in Coolest Small Town in America!

The apartment (aptly named Whistling Trains) is one-half mile from Sykesville's Main Street - the 2016 Coolest Small Town in America. There are lots of events in town, many walking paths through the community, a train that runs along the Patapsco River and through brick tunnels built in the 1800's. The town has
a lot of history and you are less than an hour to Gettysburg, Antietam, Harpers Ferry, Baltimore, Annapolis and Frederick. Washington DC is about 45 miles away.

The space

There is a Flat screen TV giving access to Cable only TV which includes Netflex and many other channels. There are also some board games, books and puzzles for your enjoyment.

The kitchen is intended to meet your cooking and dining needs. There is a Keurig coffee maker with K cups. You will find tea bags, sugar and a variety of sweeteners.

The HVAC system was replaced in 2016 and the new system has an air scrubber.

There is a Graco Pack N Play and a Fisher Price Space Saver highchair to accommodate our younger guest.

Guest access

Guests have full use of the apartment, covered porch, and designated off street parking. They may enjoy the front yard as well.
Guest must be able to step over a 3-4" threshold to enter the apartment. Also, the doors from the bedrooms to the bathrooms are a bit smaller than standard measuring 22".
