Private Waterfront Paradise w/ Pier - Kayak to Historic Chestertown!

Escape to our multiple-acre private paradise where you can enjoy breathtaking sunsets, gaze at countless stars, admire the wildlife, and dip into the water via our 200+ foot private beach. It's an ideal destination that you can enjoy for hours on end throughout the year. The home is also located just a short bike ride to Historic Chestertown, or you can even take one of our kayaks in while you enjoy the Chester River's rich wildlife.

Guests can also enjoy our pier where you can go crabbing and fishing, or dock your own shallow water boat and use the 8k lb boat lift. We also have a fire pit for you to make cozy fires by the water with plenty of wood for you to enjoy the beautiful evenings.

The three bedroom and two bathroom home features a master bedroom with French doors overlooking the river and a screened in porch to just hang out and watch life go by. The two common areas have plenty of glass doors with spectacular views of the 200+ feet of private shoreline. There is also a giant TV for movies and a foosball table for hours of fun.

Minutes from our slice of Heaven you will find Historic Chestertown, founded in 1706, where there is no lack of things to do. Dock the kayaks at Chestertown's public floating dock (or bike or drive over) and explore the brick sidewalks lined with shops, restaurants, art galleries and everything you would expect from a quaint small town. By the way, the whole town is VERY dog friendly!

Chestertown is also a magnet for traveling foodies. Known for its wealth of Chesapeake cousine, Chestertown is located on the upper Eastern Shore section of the Maryland Crab and Oyster Trail. Visiting the Chestertown Farmers and Artisans market (Saturday mornings), is a great way to acquaint yourself with the local farmers and artisans. For special dietary restrictions you have Figg's Ordinary, and entirely gluten-free cafe. For something stronger, head to Bad Alfred's, featuring house-made spirits, local craft beer and wood-fired pizzas. You can also find 89 Cannon on the river where you can enjoy tranquil water views while eating delicious seafood and other American style food.

About 20 minutes away, you can find Crow Vineyard. For four straight years, Crow has achieved Maryland Governor's Cup Medal status and gold status at international wine competitions. Also 20 minutes away is the Eastern Neck Island National Wildlife Refuge, which is a 2,285-acre island featuring all kinds of Mid-Atlantic plant and wildlife species. It also has the Duck Inn Trail, a hike that takes you through forests and marsh and arrives at a yet another gorgeous vista overlooking the Chester River.

With so many things to enjoy, book your experience today!

Wonderful Place on the River in Chestertown

We really enjoyed our stay here. It was well appointed with kayaks and other outdoor activities, comfortable and beautiful views from the within the and the kitchen supplies were wonderful!! It is situated right on the river and we enjoyed our morning coffee at the end of the short pier. We are hoping to return!!!

Lovely Chestertown Getaway

My family and I stayed over the Christmas holiday and had a wonderful time. The house was cozy, clean, and well appointed. We enjoyed the water views and it was great to be able to use the fireplaces. We would definitely return for another visit and highly recommend to anyone considering!

An escape to a peaceful river getaway

We have visited Ina’s house on the Chester river several times. It is a serene and peaceful sanctuary perfect for watching the birds and kayaking amongst the reedy shores. A stay here always serves to restore our souls.

Relax, Recharge & Reconnect

This was the perfect place to gather our family of 5 adults and our 3 fur babies to celebrate Mother’s Day over the weekend. The house is beautifully decorated and we thoroughly enjoyed the large property that was very private and had not only access to the water but also stunning views. We look forward to coming back.

Chester River Home

This is a great house! My husband fished off the dock and caught some catfish. We played board games on the long table and relaxed. We walked around Chestertown during the day and found a small fair for our 2-year-old grandson to visit. Each night, we sat around the firepit which overlooked the water - so lovely. Very quiet area.

We loved it

It was our second time staying. The house is lovely with lots of homey touches--books, games, throw blankets. And the grounds are lovely -- a big yard right on the river. We loved kayaking and letting our dog explore the yard and the river front. The kitchen is well stocked (but if you have a favorite pan you might want to bring that). The screened in porch was a favorite place to eat and play games looking at the beautiful view. I hope we can return some time soon.

Wonderful Vacation

This is our second stay at this home and we loved it just as much as the first time. The location on the Chester River is wonderful. We used the kayaks and paddle boards every day. The home was immaculate and the kitchen well appointed. We enjoyed sitting and eating on the screened in porch and sipping wine around the fire pit every night. Our adult children stayed with us and there was ample room for relaxing and gathering around the large dinner table. Chestertown is just a short drive away and great for shopping and dining. We will definitely be back.

Just what we were looking for

This is a lovely property with beautiful river views and no neighbors in sight. The house is well outfitted with everything we needed and extras like a fooseball table. It even had a "community pantry" with take-one-leave-one treats. The beds were comfortable and there were lots of places to sit and eat, play games, and do a jigsaw puzzle. Our two adult daughters said they would like to return, so that is high praise indeed.

Always a delight!

We have come to this wonderful get away on the Chester river again and again over the last 4 years. We never grow inured to its charms. For us the glorious sunsets, peaceful evenings, and avian visitations create a state of continuous wonder. We have fallen in love with the quiet peace of the place. Ina has always been a caring and responsive host. And Chestertown is a great source of indulgent provisions.

Amazing Family Vacation in Chestertown

We had an amazing week at this incredible waterside property. The home is exactly as pictured, and the outdoor space offered plenty to keep us entertained. Despite some rainfall making swimming/floating in the river not possible a few days, we had lots of other options. My husband took our 4 year-old kayaking, which she loved. During our week stay, we explored Chestertown (a quick drive away), visited Rock Hall, and did chartered cruises out of Chesapeake City and St. Michael’s. You can tell the hosts take great care in their riverside home, and we are so glad they decided to share it. We’d love to come back!

Not exactly as pictured

I have to start by saying that the property was not exactly as pictured. The pictures show a tidy uncluttered space inside and out, but that was not the case. The screened in porch was cluttered with too much furniture and other items. Some other spaces of the home were more cluttered than pictured as well. There were lights duct taped under the kitchen cabinets that were falling down. The exterior property maintenance could have been much better. For what we paid, we expected more. With all of this being said, it is a great house on the river that was clean on the interior when we arrived. There were six of us and we had plenty of room. We enjoyed our weekend despite the disappointment in some areas.

This was our third time hosting a family gathering at this site. The house is well equipped, beautifully furnished, and sits on a property that provides easy access to the river, a spectacular view and privacy. It’s also a short drive to nearby stores, restaurants and a farmers market. The host is also very friendly and available if you have any questions or concerns.

This home on the Chester River exceeded expectations. It was super clean, bright & roomy. It had great sleeping options for a 7-person group of women. The backyard up against the river was terrific. The water was so still for kayaking. There are multiple seating areas: fire pit, table on the pier, table off of the patio. The screened in patio was wonderful to use.
