We had to carry chairs up stairs to set the table. Secondly, we spoke about the bathroom being cleaned and it was not. Aside from those things I'm rating this highly because, the owner was professional accommodating and responsive. He sounds like a young man in business and I would want to give him the chance to improve upon rather than tear down. Respectfully.

This is a great, standard Marriott hotel. The lobby and entry way is absolutely stunning and…read moreextremely spacious. The room was huge and spacious, as well. While it was clean, the room had a strange echo. The housekeepers were kind, but the front desk workers could have been nicer. The breakfast was pretty bad, in all honestly. Usually Marriott breakfast buffets are my favorite, too. Next time, I would love to try the Tillery, the restaurant located inside. This hotel is very well located to many amazing, fun, and delicious spots in the Metro Center. It is right off of 795, too, making it a great spot to stay in Owings Mills. Overall, a great experience and I would stay here again!

Not sure how long they are been open, but they would different benefit from better signage. The baby shower I attended to location at the further room within the center. The room was wide-open, basically a clean slate, allowing you to decorate to your liking. There was one bathroom in the room, but it was small. This location is ideal for a small get together. Not sure how much it costs to rent, but the venue offers a great space to make your vision come to life. The parking situation isn't too bad, I think the parking lot could be set-up a little better, allowing for more parking spaces. But, its a safe area that is easily accessible.

It's free! You might know it only as an event venue, but there's: * Nice walking trails and farm country views. * A few segments would count as hiking if you want to introduce somebody! * Creekside access in the woods. Fiddling around a natural creek is a formative experience * A selection of beautiful older trees that survived from colonial times * Including a massive ancient white oak, Maryland's state tree and quite rare now. If you've never seen a "big tree" in person this is a must-see. It has presence. * Restored buildings and history displays * A resident ambassador owl. Go closer to dusk to see him active * Restored natural meadows (great macro photography) * Examples of bee keeping, different types of gardening, etc. Lots to play / do / learn, or for us older folks, walking around and taking photos. A couple of notes: * hours on maps are for the venue, the grounds are actually open dawn-to-dusk * the hiking is pretty mild but there's a lot to see. * alltrails isn't accurate for many of the paths, but everything is really well signed (or grab the map from their own website) * if you're doing the full circuit of trails, wear those ankle-support shoes/boots - it might seem silly for the easy terrain, but the angle of the farm trails is "hard" in sneakers, and you'll appreciate that support. Enjoy it! Another Howard County gem.

Such a wonderful place that I never knew existed until this weekend when We attended a wedding…read morehere. Actually, I officiated. So, I got to check out the grounds around the main building before the bride and groom arrived for rehearsal. They have a wonderful wandering Garden with Fountains and water features. I could sit by a loud water feature for hours. The wedding was in the garden, but the facility had prepared the Veranda in case the rain didn't clear up. In addition to the new main structure, they have Historical buildings and Summer camps.

I recently attended a yoga retreat at Pearlstone Center. The meeting room where we practiced was…read morenice, with a window wall overlooking a beautiful view. However, the carpet was filthy, and clearly had not been vacuumed, even though the staff must have known we would spend all our time in that room on the floor. Several of us had immediate allergic reactions to whatever was in the carpet, and I spent the rest of the weekend on benedryl. We stayed in the Fidler's Grove cabins, and I was extremely disappointed with our accommodations. Our "kitchenette with microwave and mini fridge" consisted of a tiny fridge sitting on the floor in the hallway. It was so small we couldn't even fit our water bottles in it. That was it. No microwave, no kitchenette. The room I slept in had no heat, on a night when the temperature dropped into the 20s. We had a difficult time figuring out how to operate the heater because the instructions posted on the wall were not for that particular heating unit. Slats of the mini-blinds were twisted and broken. The sitting area was functional, but depressing. I would call the cabin overall very spartan and barracks-like. We requested a vegetarian menu, which we received. We were also welcome to choose from the buffet. With a couple of notable exceptions, the food ranged from mediocre to inedible, the main problem being that none of the cooked food was actually hot. The hummus that was provided to us as a snack was excellent, as was the whitefish we had with our dinner on Saturday night, but that did not make up for the food that was served to us the rest of the weekend. I won't go back.

Really more than I expected. There is also an organic farm attached to the retreat center with vegetable rows, chickens, ducks, and goats. They served some produce from the farm at a couple of the meals. And the meals were also impressive, with mostly vegetarian options and the occasional high quality meat. And there were always refreshments available for those moments when you need a snack. The conference facilities themselves were also beautiful, from the large open hall on the first floor to the smaller meeting rooms to the ample rocking chairs on the porch around the main building. Not to mention that the center is surrounded by forests, streams, and a pond. Yep, it was epic.
