While planning a weekend trip to Fredrick County Maryland; I looked for overnight accommodations that were in a country setting and preferably locally owned. This ended up being a major challenge! I just was not able to find any establishments meeting my requirements in the area where I wanted to stay. Using Trip Advisor and other search engines the only property that came close to meeting my needs was Green Country Inn in Brunswick.
The inn is owned by a railroad and its main use is for train crews on mandated crew rest with half of the rooms reserved for that purpose and the remaining rooms available to the public.
The rooms are small but well furnished. Based on previous comments it appears that there has been an effort made at improving the rooms. However; the lighting still needs to be improved, there was only one light which was wall mounted that was not adequate for anything except moving around the room. There was no lighting in the area of the desk or the easy chair. The Bathroom was badly outdated and not up to current standards. The room and Bathroom were clean. The room was very quiet as advertised.
I feel a good indicator of the quality of a hotel restaurant is how well it attracts people from surrounding community. The restaurant was crowded with “locals” for both the evening meal and breakfast the following day. It appeared that all meals are cooked after being ordered with the result that it takes a while for your meal to be delivered after you place your order; which means your food is delivered at the peak of perfection. The meals were reasonably priced and very good quality.
I will definitely stay at this establishment again when I am in the area.
