TRAVEL:

We recommend flying into BWI or DCA. Since the hotel in Frederick is over an hour away from the nearest airport, we recommend renting a car or carpooling.

On the day of the wedding, we recommend driving to the venue. There is no reliable availability of Ubers around the venue.

Please follow the directions below to access the property from Frederick/Baltimore/DC:

Take Route 15 North towards Gettysburg and Thurmont (from Washington, I-270, this is not truly an exit; continue straight on I-270, which blends into 15 North). Thurmont is about 15 miles northwest of Frederick.

There are three Thurmont exits; take the second exit, for Route 77. The exit ramp is a very sharp curve and the deceleration lane is short, so take care here. At the stop sign turn RIGHT onto Route 77 West, towards Hagerstown and Smithsburg.

Stay on this windy, climbing road for approximately 2.9 miles, and just after Park Central Road on the right, turn LEFT onto Catoctin Hollow Road. At this point, you are entering Cunningham Falls State Park (William Houck Picnic Area) and you will see the lake on your right, through the trees.

Continue on Catoctin Hollow Road approximately 2.8 miles, pass Wigville Road, and turn RIGHT onto Mink Farm Road.

Continue on Mink Farm Road for 1.1 miles. While on Mink Farm Road, you will cross a small stream and then go up a steep hill, road will level out for a short distance, then there will be a slight uphill section and then the road will begin to descend. At the bottom of this short descent, the road crosses a stream and goes from paved to gravel. After traveling 200 feet on the gravel, you will see a lane on the left, marked by a carved wooden “ThorpeWood” sign. Turn LEFT into this lane and in about 150 feet when the driveway divides, stay to the RIGHT to get the front entrance of the Lodge.
