Hi! I’m Greta! In October 2019, my husband, Ben, and I purchased a 4-acre property just outside of Baltimore, MD. It was a short sale and in need of many renovations, which we have been busy doing since! We are truly blessed to be able to share our homestead with guests. Our efficiency guest suite was completed in late 2021. And we're now booking our completely renovated 1973 Aframe in Marriottsville!
