GETTYSBURG, PA — Whether you're a nature lover, history buff or you just really need a break, The Lodges at Gettysburg is the perfect option for a peaceful getaway. Only a little over half an hour from the City of Frederick, The Lodges offers a tranquil spot to hike, fish, eat, spend time with family and take in the stunning views of Gettysburg itself. 

If you've been keeping up with this week's blog posts, you may know a little about what The Lodges has to offer, and you may be interested in seeing it for yourself. Now, we're giving you the chance to make that a reality with a one-night stay giveaway! 

For your chance to win this free overnight stay with up to three other guests, comment on the contest post on our FiND iT Frederick Facebook page with what you'd like to do in Gettysburg. Would you stick around The Lodges and take advantage of everything it has to offer, or would you want to venture out to the battlefields and learn some history? Whatever you choose to do, it's sure to be a memorable trip. 

It was 1996 when Cassidy flew cross-country from his native California to visit his close friend Terry Harner in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Harner brought Cassidy to the property, which was for sale at the time, and Cassidy couldn’t believe how spectacular the sweeping views were. 

“I made the trip, I looked at it, I loved it, and I said ‘I gotta have it,’” Cassidy said. 

While his goal was to make the property into “some type of special retreat,” the transition was not without some hiccups. The property sale closed in 30 days, but — long story short — it took more than a decade to get the building entitlements and another three years to build the lodges. 

“Fifteen years for our dream project,” Cassidy said. “And that was just to open the doors. [But] there was a passion to build this thing; we were committed.” 
 
One of Cassidy’s main goals was to ensure the Lodges complemented the surrounding natural beauty and wouldn’t be considered an eyesore by locals. Sitting atop one of the highest ridgelines in Gettysburg, the Lodges overlooks vast hallowed and sacred ground. Throughout the years, Cassidy and his team had to convince Gettysburg residents that the vision for the Lodges was appropriate for the space and would not be an eyesore. 

“We wanted to build something the community could be very proud of, that could service companies and organizations throughout the world,” Cassidy said. 

Approximately a decade ago when The Lodges was under construction, the owners would fly in from California and enjoy dinner at the Carriage House Inn in Emmitsburg. Senseney, who at the time only worked for the Carriage House Inn, built up a rapport with Cassidy, Harner, Lupin and Trapani. When The Lodges sought an exclusive caterer for the venue, the Carriage House Inn stepped forward. 

Since then, the Carriage House Inn and The Lodges have become a close-knit team. Just like the Lodges, it is a family-owned and operated business. Currently, Senseney serves as the Director of Events and Catering for both The Carriage House Inn and The Lodges. 

The Inn, built in 1857, has hosted prominent figures including the Clintons and locally-based bestselling author Nora Roberts.

 If you're looking for a unique, immersive experience right here in Frederick, look no further than the escape rooms at Frederick's own Clue IQ at 103 S. Carroll Street. If you haven't experienced an escape room before, this is the perfect place to start. Whether you want to raid a WWII bunker, find Excalibur and rule Camelot or experience augmented reality with an magical outdoor adventure, ClueIQ has a game for just about everyone. 

For your chance to win a $50 gift certificate to ClueIQ, comment on our FiNDiT Frederick Facebook post (not on our blog) with the escape room theme you'd most like to play at ClueIQ, or tell us which one you've played before!

​On Thursday, July 25 at 3 p.m., we'll randomly choose THREE winners. 

Escape rooms are a live-action, team-based game that allow the group of players to collaborate, solve puzzles and discover clues together to accomplish a specific goal in a limited amount of time. Games usually include 2-10 people and are set in fictional, themed locations. It's a perfect activity for a date night, birthday party, family night or team-building with your coworkers. 

The game starts with an introduction to the rules of the game and how to win. Then, the clock starts and players must complete the game within a set amount of time. During this time, players can explore the room(s), find clues and solve puzzles that help them progress further in the game. At ClueIQ, team members can ask for unlimited hints if they get stuck, but only teams that ask for 3 or less hints can appear on the leaderboard. 

If you achieve the goal within the time limit, you win the game. Teams with record-breaking times can be placed on the leaderboard. However, if you run out of time before achieving the goal, you lose the game. 
​
Puzzle types can include riddles, ciphers, abstract logic, assembly of an object (like a jigsaw puzzle) , team communication, mathematics, searching for hidden objects, and more. Keep in mind that every escape room is different and different levels can be played. For your first time, try booking a beginner or intermediate room. 

You and a group of your friends and/or family have 60 minutes to work together and solve clues and reach the objective. Each theme takes participants on a different adventure to a unique time, place or event, and every game is mission-based and follows a story. 

ClueIQ prides itself on being a fully immersive experience with the most technologically advanced games in the region. Each of the escape rooms are 100% customized from the ground up — this means no fluorescent lights or technology in the Blitzkrieg room. Browse ClueIQ's site to see the rooms for yourself!

Blitzkrieg- Beginner/Intermediate difficulty
Excalibur- Intermediate difficulty
​Conspiracy- Expert difficulty 
Magic Portal - Outdoor game

No purchase necessary. Must be 18 or older to enter.

**Children under the age of 12 typically struggle with some of the puzzles in the rooms. If you are bringing children under the age of 13 you must book a private game or purchase the entire capacity of a public room.

Frederick's Fourth is quickly approaching and you may have some burning questions: Where is the best place to view fireworks in Frederick? Can I bring my own beer? Is there anything else to do other than watch the fireworks? We have answers! If you live in or around Frederick, MD and are planning on celebrating the Fourth of July locally, let us be your guide to Frederick's Fourth in Baker Park.

You've heard of facials. Perhaps you've gotten one, or it's even part of your weekly schedule. However, one of the lesser known spa treatments is detoxifying body wraps, and Emmy's Harvest proudly offers this service. But what exactly is a body wrap, and what can it do? 

The 60-minute treatment uses a blend of USA-made M'Lis Natural Therapy products that include cellulite-targeting niacin, circulation-inducing cinnamon and deeply nourishing aloe. After the products are applied, the body is wrapped in plastic and the patient is covered with a towel or sheet for approximately half an hour. 

“[The wraps] actually detoxify the body and the tissues,” said Emmy's Harvest owner Noemi "Emmy" Costlow. “You can see that it tightens the skin and hydrates it.”

After the session is complete, patients can expect to notice slimming effects as well as glowing, hydrated and firmer skin. 

​There’s a new spa in town and owner Noemi “Emmy” Costlow is ready to share her healing talents with the Frederick community.

“I love the vibe here,” she said. “I want people to know that I feel at home. I’ve finally found a place where I can not only give to the public, but it also gives me a lot of satisfaction.”  
​
Costlow owns Emmy’s Harvest, a holistic spa located on the third floor of 263 West Patrick Street. This spring, she moved to the area from San Antonio, Texas, where her healing journey began.

​
​She also offers holistic life coaching and other packages where she devotes half a day or an entire day to an individual's healing. During this time, she can do a Wheel of Life assessment or an Akashic records reading with spa services included. At the end of the session, she sends the client home with a kit of supplements to help them take care of themselves at home.  

The best part of her job is seeing the impact she’s had on the health and well-being of her clients, she says. 

“My investment is in you, and that’s what makes me feel good about what I do,” Costlow said.

Ready to make a commitment to wellness? Emmy's Harvest is here to help! Make an appointment on her website, and stay tuned to the FiNDiT Facebook page for a chance to win a free detoxifying body wrap at the end of the week.

Tucked into the third floor of a bright, cozy and historic West Patrick Street building, Emmy's Harvest offers comfort and relaxation immediately upon stepping into the space. Owner and licensed esthetician Noemi "Emmy" Costlow greets clients with a warm smile and a cup of tea, taking the time to consult with clients about their expectations and goals for the pampering services they've scheduled. From reiki-infused holistic facials and beauty peels to detoxifying body wraps and even holistic life coaching, this lovely little spa takes healing to new heights. 
​

Costlow takes pride in using only all-natural and holistic products ​at Emmy's Harvest. Whether acne, hyper-pigmentation, aging, or dryness is your skincare concern, Emmy's Harvest has the products to help. The intensive and luxurious Fire and Ice facial is the spa's most popular; this Eminence Organic Skin Care treatment is designed to rapidly and safely resurface the skin by reducing fine lines and wrinkles, all while smoothing, softening, and encouraging cellular renewal. 

Mind, body, and spirit are important to Costlow as she performs any spa service.  That's why she infuses her services with reiki, a Japanese healing and stress-relieving technique said to channel healing energy by means of touch. Often, clients leave in awe of the relaxation they feel after their session, she said. 

"Clients are looking for a place where they can come and be taken care of," Costlow added. 

Products used at Emmy's Harvest include Eminence Organic Skin Care, M'Lis nutritional supplements and body wraps and doTERRA essential oils.

​Last Friday, the gorgeous weather insisted I go for a walk through Baker Park. The blooming park, tinged with a tease of summer, was host to the first Key City Food & Farm Market event of the year. My equally hungry co-workers and I arrived at lunchtime to witness the string of food trucks parked along 2nd Street,  already serving the leisurely moving crowd in the balmy heat. Fresh baked pizza from Pizza Llama‘s portable pizza oven sent aromatic waves through the crowd which then mingling with the smell of burgers (meat and veggie), sauerkraut and sharp pickles from The Sweet Farm, all punctuated by a medley of seasonal flowers from Penny’s Plant stand.  

Aside from hot food, lines of short sleeved, sandal wearing customers arranged themselves along the pavement to sample Sno-Belle’s ice cream along with other stands that included Beltway Merch and both Goodhope Farmstead and Deer Run Farm who were selling their barely traveled produce.

Every Friday this spring through June 29th , Baker Park’s 2nd Street will accommodate an array of local food trucks from 10 a.m-2 p.m. Featured will be reoccurring stands, like The Sweet Farm, with the addition of various other trucks to fill out the line-up each week.
