A 250-Acre Sanctuary Defined by Heritage

Built in 1929, as the grand vision of S. Bryce Wing, horseman & former President of the National Steeplechase Association, the stately Georgian Manor House offers a respite for up to 24 guests when including overnight stays with your special event.

Our Manor House accommodates 16 across 7 bedrooms, while the Guest Cottage can sleep another 8, for a seamless transition from the evening’s festivities to a quiet morning overlooking the pastures.

Luxury Accommodations Nestled in the Maryland Countryside

Stays at Harford Hill ensures your time with us is as restorative as it is memorable. Impeccable landscaping complements the stately brick exterior of the Manor House, while inside, soaring ceilings, arched doorways, and hand-carved details offer a glimpse into the home’s historic past. Renowned designer Steven Gambrel, principal of SRG Interiors, breathed new life into the home with dark, rich floors, waxy raw woods, and heavy, hand-woven Belgian textiles, elevating each room while adding texture and warmth. Layered with antiques from around the world, used in a thoughtful and creative way, the overall palette and spirit stays light-filled, modern, and impactful.

The 250 acres surrounding the private estate enhance the experience. Each window is perfectly positioned to frame a scenic view, while expansive terraces overlook the pool and the undulating green pastures beyond. Guests are invited to linger outdoors and take in the panoramic, tranquil vistas.
