Fernwood
Fernwood is a quiet, forested area with streams, foot bridges, and expansive ferns. Many hang items such as drapery and lanterns and some even use torches to set a romantic mood.
The Meadow
The Meadow offers nature and tranquility at its best. Streams and sounds of water and nature surround this location with large willow trees and a pond with the mountains as a back drop. This area hosts numerous outdoor ceremonies.
Patio
The Patio offers beautiful vistas of the meadow, more than 70 acres of pure farmland, the circa 1711 stone house with water wheel, and smoke house. Two pergolas, trees, and semi-circular peninsula set the stage for a beautiful ceremony. The bar room, and temperature-controlled, weather-protected areas are adjacent to this location.
Log Cottage
Ostertag (meaning Easterday in German), presents a showcase of historic structural renewal. A charming Log Cottage, built in the mid 1700’s by early German settlers, provides a romantic setting for an outdoor garden wedding. It lies within close proximity to the barn and offers a stream and pond in the background as well as an arch and brick walkway to the front for a beautiful entrance. Perfect for a horse and carriage.
Amphitheater
The Amphitheater contains a natural stage and is within close proximity to the barn while offering expansive views of fields and nature. An arch and white fencing sets the stage as well as various landscaping for all seasons. Perfect for a horse and carriage entrance.
Indoor Stable
The indoor stable consists of original stone walls, unique art/painted floors, fireplace and full heating and air conditioning. The Ram’s Den is located adjacent to this room offering a perfect guest entry to a ceremony while offering soft music, warm lighting, coat racks, gift table/s, and guest book podium. A beautiful location for a ceremony during all seasons.
Other Locations
Guests are encouraged to enjoy the lush meadows, streams and pond and watch migrating geese, blue herons and bald eagles pause in their flight to wander in the nearby pond and beaver dams. Like a treasure tucked away in North Western Frederick County, Maryland, Ostertag Vistas is a jewel in paradise.
