Welcome to Old Harmony, a 13-acre farm and outdoor enthusiast and mountain biker’s paradise in the foothills of Catoctin Mountain, next to Gambrill State Park and the Frederick Watershed. The farm has two streams, a bonfire pit, a creekside deck, a rustic shower room, two Airbnbs (the farmhouse and the backhouse), camping, and an invitation-only mountain bike track maintained by a local mountain biking non-profit. Just beyond the farm you’ll find four Maryland state parks, the Appalachian Trail, and the Potomac River. There are endless trails for hiking and mountain biking, rivers and lakes for kayaking, canoeing, and fishing, and plenty of local wineries, breweries, and distilleries. Sharing the farm: Now and then you may see other guests camping, staying in the farmhouse or backhouse, or riding and working on the bike track. Overlap is rare and there’s plenty of room for privacy, but please be respectful of your neighbors and enjoy the shared spaces shown on the property map in our Guidebook. Riding the track: Old Harmony hosts the annual Gravity Social Dual Slalom Race & Festival each fall. If you’re booking to ride at a Gravity Social event, please message us before you book so we can make sure your dates match an open ride day or event. The track needs regular maintenance and stays tarped except on set ride and work days. All riders must sign our waiver, which is on our website, before riding.
