Emory Grove Camp is a 150 year old Methodist Camp turned residential summer retreat. This historic camp dates back to 1867. Presently, the residents of Emory Grove enjoy the same peaceful and serene environment that their ancestors enjoyed, but with some important updates, like running water and indoor plumbing. The cabins/cottages do not have central heat or air, which requires inhabitants to vacate the property from November through March when the water for the homes is shut off by the caretaker of the grounds.
Our customer is a new homeowner at Emory Grove. Her year round home is in Baltimore City and she enjoys the quiet and beauty of Emory Grove as a get-away summer home. The simplicity of life at the Grove draws many from the stressful life in the urban areas around Glyndon. Our homeowner desired to update her cottage to make it more efficient for her lifestyle, yet keep with the style of the camp and other cabins. Take a look at the before and afters below and the vintage photos. Close your eyes, step into the past and imagine a simpler life.
