GET AWAY FROM THE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE
Location, location, location!
Get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city or your board room and host your next special meeting or retreat at Elmwood Farm Bed & Breakfast for the ultimate team getaway.
Perfectly located in the countryside and nestled just outside of Williamsport, Maryland, this setting is only an hour and 15-minute drive from Baltimore, Maryland, less than a 3-hour drive from Philadelphia or Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and approximately 4 hours from Washington D.C. or New York City.
Whether you want a weekend of relaxation to enjoy the fresh country air or a day filled with planning or team building activities, Selena and Lettie will be your ideal hosts.
If you really want to kick-off your special retreat or meeting with some inspiration, Selena is also a professional keynote speaker and is always willing to share her inspirational story or business acumen with your guests—if her schedule allows it. Just ask. Her fees are extremely reasonable! Bringing your own keynote speaker or facilitator for your event? Great! If you want to give that person an extra special treat, book your speaker to stay at the Bed and Breakfast the night before your event. They will be well rested and ready to go the next morning!
Located on 6.5 acres of gardens, pastures, limestone, and farm animals, as well as the splendid countryside mountain views into the neighboring states—West Virginia and Pennsylvania—this venue is sure to please.

Nearby attractions include the C&O Canal National Historical Park and Antietam National Battlefield, which ended the Confederate Army’s first attempt at taking the North. About 23,000 soldiers died or were wounded within 12 hours, marking one of the bloodiest days of the war. Today, the battlefield is beautiful and serene to contrast its past, making the magnitude of what happened an awakening experience.
Meandering through the rolling hills and mountains of Western Maryland, visitors find themselves crisscrossing five National Parks, 10 state parks, and, as mentioned, one of the most important fronts of the Civil War, the Antietam. You will also find the Antietam Highlands Wine Trail, which is home to nine of Maryland’s premiere wineries. This trail is a must for wine lovers and history buffs alike.
Elmwood Farm is only a bike ride away from the historical trail town at Williamsport and is encircled with unique local draws, fun adventures and pastimes for the weekend tripper, business traveler, history buff or recreation fanatic.
Only minutes away from the Potomac River, C&O Canal National Park, Cushwa Basin, Appalachian Trail Hikes, Great Allegheny Passage, Western Maryland Rails and Trails, State Parks, White Tail Ski Resort, Golf Courses, Harpers Ferry, Gettysburg National Battlefield, Crystal Grottos Caverns, Antique Markets, and the Prime Outlets in Hagerstown.
For the adventurist explorer, you can do it all! Bring your running shoes, skis, golf clubs, bike (or borrow one of ours!), kayak/canoe, and your camera to enjoy a variety of leisure fun.
For the cycling adventurer, we can provide shuttle service, secure bike storage and wash station. There is even a bike parts and repair service nearby
