Nancy’s Touch, A Waterfront Paradise!

Nancy’s Touch, named after the amazing woman who developed and maintained the beautiful gardens, is situated in one of the best locations available on the northern end of the Chesapeake. From sunrise to sunset, the view of the juncture of the three rivers (the North East, Susquehanna, and Elk) that merge to create the Chesapeake Bay commands your attention. Soaring osprey, bald eagles, great blue heron and other waterfowl delight as well.

Perfect place to relax!

Nancy’s Touch is one of our favorite places to stay. The home is always pristine, the grounds are lovely, and the home is so well stocked with kitchen and laundry supplies that packing for the trip is a breeze. There is so much to explore in the area, and birdwatching from the enclosed sunroom is always a treat. We have already booked our next stay here.

August Getaway

We had another wonderful stay during our third visit to this lovely property. We took our teenage niece and nephew this time, and had fun playing games, paddle boarding and crabbing. As always, the dogs loved swimming every day and playing in their own private, fenced yard. We completed our visit with a takeout seafood dinner from Woody’s. We can’t wait to come back again next year!

Lovely Place for R&R

This trip was our second visit to this amazing property. The location is peaceful and relaxing, with the sound of the waves and numerous species of birds. The dogs had so much fun swimming every day, and the fenced area is so convenient. Thanks again for sharing this special place with us! We hope to come back again next year.

We had a wonderful time. The house is beautiful with a beautiful yard and view of the water.

It was a great experience. Out two labs loved swimming even in the cooler water and we enjoyed the ever changing view from the River room. Will definitely plan another trip. The owners were very responsive to our emails and answered all the questions we had.

Perfect place to relax

Nancy’s Touch is such a pleasant place to relax that we try to return at least once a year. The home is lovely and always fully equipped with all amenities. The location is gorgeous, with spacious and beautifully landscaped grounds overlooking the North East River. We always bring our dog, and are grateful for the large fenced-in side yard for him to run and play.

Heavenly Location

We love this property and are already looking forward to our next stay in September. Betsy & Barbara are wonderful to work with and to allow others to stay in their beautiful home. There is nothing that could be nicer or made better at this rental. It's not really a rental - but a beautifully maintained property in the perfect spot. Miss being there already

A lovely and memorable home

We reunited here as a family after several months apart because of COVID. It was a wonderful place to be together again. The views were stunning, and kayaking/paddle boarding on the Bay was more than we could have hoped for. We took advantage of the amply yard to set up a croquet course! The house was also well-stocked, with most every kitchen appliance you could dream of.

Peaceful and relaxing

We had a great time at this beautiful property. The surrounding garden is lovely, the large fenced yard area was perfect for our dog to play some rousing games of fetch, and we enjoyed the peace and quiet relaxing by the river. The home itself is very comfortable with great water views--we didn't leave the property at all during our vacation. We loved watching the wide variety of birds (there's two pairs of binoculars provided) and even saw a few catching fish in the river. We hope to be able to return in future.

What a wonderful retreat into serenity.

Nancy's Touch is simply wonderful. You feel like you've walked into a friend's home with your first steps. All of the personal touches are thoughful. It is kept super clean and the linens and towels provided are soft and plush. I can't say enough about our long weekend there. It took us a while to realize we hadn't heard a car drive by in 4 days! We will absolutely be back.

Home base for nearby wedding

My wife and I rented Nancy’s Touch as our lodging for our son’s wedding at the nearby Bohemian Overlook venue. The house, grounds and location were wonderful and exceeded what we expected even with the great reviews. This house is very specious and comfortable with outstanding attention to detail. The location and 180 view of the bay is spectacular. We watched a bald eagle family in the trees right beside the home fish every morning and saw osprey and many birds. The house is a short distance from North East and shopping and restaurants. We have rented many homes through VRBO and Nancy’s Touch is at the top.

The Perfect Getaway

It really was perfect in every way. We stayed close to Christmas and it was just magical. Placed the dog’s bed in front of the fireplace, turned on the flameless candles, and watched movies and visited with family who live in the area. We were able to prepare amazing meals with the well-stocked kitchen! Adjust your view just beyond the fireplace to the spectacular water views and just relax. We also walked along the shoreline and basked in the quiet serenity. I think the best way to describe it is you are someplace new and exciting but it felt like home - a home you don’t want to leave.

Getaway

My husband and I were in for a little getaway, of course we picked a week that had pretty crappy weather. But thank God this house is comfortable enough to stay in when the weather is bad. We just enjoyed the quiet, birds, and the water. We enjoyed playing pinball machine and Yatzy tournaments we had with each other. The views are so beautiful our last night there we got to see a marvelous sunset. All in all this is a wonderful house for getaway no matter what the weather. We really enjoyed our stay thank you Betsy and Barbara for sharing your house
