THURMONT
Ole Mink Farm Recreation Resort
What it is: A comfortably secluded resort comprised of several log cabins, located in Maryland's Catoctin Mountains.
The rooms: The cabinettes and the large Coffee Hollow Lodge are equipped with both a fireplace and electric heat, and most houses have their own outdoors picnic table.
Amenities: In case of cabin fever, TV and WiFi, included in almost every accommodation, can come to the rescue.
Activities: Explore the nearby wilderness by following the resort's nature trail and trying to catch a fish in Ole Mink's pond. Or instead, stay indoors and join the children in the playground or the game room, where you can work the pool table or let your inner geek out with their pinball machines.
Details: 12806 Mink Farm Road; $300 for a two-night stay in a log cabin.
