Excellent house and location - highly recommend

A group of 6 (3 adults and 3 children) stayed for 2 nights while visiting the Naval Academy. It was an easy walk to the stadium where shuttles brought us over, very convenient location. It is a quiet neighborhood which was nice and what we were looking for.The house itself was great, very clean, lots of space, comfortable beds, and had everything we needed and then some. Fully stocked kitchen, games, and my bathroom even had a shampoo/conditioner/bath gel setup that you often see in hotels.Highly recommend if you are visiting Annapolis!

Family reunion and USNA football game

This location is perfect for attending a Navy football game as it is within walking distance of the stadium. The house is modern, spotlessly clean and was well set up for our group of seven adults. We especially enjoyed the screened porch and the lovely back yard.

Doug and Kris are wonderful host and their home is by far the best stay in Annapolis especially if your a Navy Football fan. The stadium is a 5 min walk and close to everything you enjoy in Annapolis. The neighborhood is awesome and friendly. We stayed here 3 times and will always be our first choice when we travel to Annapolis !

Great house, location and hosts!

We have been staying in Annapolis for 2+ years now (son is at the Academy) and this was one of our favorite places so far! The house was great and the hosts were great communicators. Spotless house, and upon entering, having a gift bag with a bottle of wine and food to feed the Koi was a great touch! The Koi are certainly shy though! The neighborhood was great, close to the Stadium, Naval Bagels and really everything. Minutes to downtown Annapolis and a great house to come back to at the end of the day and relax on the screened in porch. We can't wait to stay there again.

Road trip

The property is very nice, with extreme privacy, multiple spaces in which to relax. It is well stocked with linens, dishes, cookware, cooking basics (spices, etc.), games, outdoor equipment, and basic first aid supplies. It is located conveniently for groceries, gasoline, and visits to the historic downtown area. We highly recommend the property.

Love this place! Spacious and beautifully furnished with a fully-stocked kitchen and surrounded by a lush Japanese garden that houses a family of cardinals. The beds are comfy and the bathrooms are luxurious. The location is close to everything. The hosts are wonderful - very thoughtful and easy to contact with questions.

Excellent Home

We had a great stay. It was a brief respite for our daughters who live in condo/ apartments in the city and for us as well in a townhouse. Doug and Kris were very responsive and keep a very clean Covid free routine there. Beautiful grounds and screened in porch. We really enjoyed that. We highly recommend 11 Baldridge.

I can’t say enough about the owners

This is our 4th time staying at this house, we just love the layout and elbow room the ranch provides. Great location by the stadium, super convenient to everything. We had a travel delay and Kris and Doug bent over backwards to help us solve our issue, including recommending an auto shop to fix our car. Very easy to communicate with, very kind and understanding, very responsive. We’ve enjoyed renting from them for the last 3 Easters in Annapolis.

Great location, Grewt house

We chose this property to attend a Navy football game. It was within walking distance to the stadium and in a greet neighborhood. The house had all one could ask for. The kids had tv, games, and a koi pond. As an extra bonus we got to pet the neighbors dog, a super friendly guy who helped our kids not miss our dog as much! The home is about 3 minutes from downtown and all the great shops and restaurants. Overall the home, people, and places made Annapolis one of our favorite family trips.

Huron House radiates peace and calm

My family had a wonderful stay at Huron House. The house is spacious and beautifully decorated. It felt like a peaceful and calm respite from this busy world. The interior takes inspiration from nature, with wood, natural colors, soft lighting and beautiful artwork. The yard is lovely as well, with lots of green space and a delightful koi pond. I never knew I could get so much enjoyment by watching and feeding koi! It's a nice neighborhood too, with many people taking walks. And it is located close to anything you might want to do in the area. I would definitely love to stay again.

Great spot for USNA Commissioning Week

Super convenient location to USNA, downtown Annapolis, freeways, the mall, and Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium We walked the short 10-minute walk to the stadium for Commissioning so we avoided all of the traffic after the ceremony. Spacious, well maintained house with all the amenities we needed. Koi pond in the backyard meant constant, pleasant sound of water moving over the small waterfall. Ample on-site parking and large backyard. The screened in patio was nice for outside-but-inside dining. We enjoyed our week-long stay and would definitely stay at Heron House the next time we are in Annapolis. Go Navy, Beat Army!!
