The Blue Hearth has a plethora of treasures inside its doors. There really is something for everyone, and there is always help for questions to be answered if needed.

So lovely! House is quaint and comfortable -- and interesting as well. Great location bw canal and Potomac (just a min walk away -- great place to watch sunset). All windows have screens. Was super clean when we arrived. Bring lots of water, and plan to pack your trash. Perfect stopover for an overnight bike trip! Now, I want to stay in all the lockhouses! Thank you C&O Canal Trust!

Lovely family farm! We visited many years ago when our children were small. I was glad to see the goat bridge is still operational! We didn’t want to pick apples but loved the rows and rows of zinnias. At $6 per bag (or 50 cents per stem), I brought home an armload of vivid colors home. Great selection of fresh produce. The farm was fairly crowded but there was enough space to keep our distance. People were good about wearing masks.

This place is fantastic. Have heard so many friends going over the years so I had to finally try it out. Have gone 3 times in the past 4 months. The wine and cider is excellent. The woodfired pizza served by Pizza Brahma is terrific, the atmosphere is charming, ample seating and a beautiful setting. Poolesville‘s gem for sure!????????

McKee Bershers is totally worth a trip and it’s free. You feel like you’re in France and in a Monet painting. It’s off River Road in Poolsville/Potomac, MD. follow the map that’s on McKee website, there are no signs that point to the 3 sunflower fields. You can also check the condition of the flowers on the website so that you don’t make the trek If they haven’t fully bloomed due to rain or wilt at the end of the season.
