Beautiful View

The house was exactly as described. The view and access to the large river was better than expected. The owner was very responsive to any issues. So glad we found a place where we can take our dog. We would definitely stay again.

House was very clean and in an excellent location. However the grounds were in need of weeding to the point that the advertised upper bay view was blocked or partially blocked from many areas. Host was prompt in responding when I reached out.

Lovely spot at the head of the Chesapeake

Charming place with several private sleeping areas. My favorite was the screened in porch. Pet friendly and literally right on the water. Close to the small town of Charlestown. Play equipment for children. I didn't use the hot tub but it was conveniently already heated.

Compact little gem

This cozy cottage packs a lot of comfort and convenience into a small space, with gorgeous views out over the river. The kitchen was efficient and well-equipped, the seating throughout was spacious and comfortable, and the whole place is charmingly decorated. There were several thoughtful amenities, including an outdoor fire pit, hot tub, playground equipment, and two kayaks. The whole place was sparkling clean, and the owner quickly responded to all questions.

Pet Friendly Quiet Getaway

Super clean and cute cottage on the water! LOVED the sun porch set up; flowy curtains with black out curtain option, table with bench seat, the queen daybed was a favorite during our stay, super comfy and unique. Great soft side hot tub in backyard was clean and relaxing. Also made great use of the outdoor furniture around the fire pit with new cushions for comfort. Neighborhood was quiet and green. Jessica was timely and responsive. Lovely all the way around! Would definitely stay again if in the area.

This View!!

We came to visit our son in Aberdeen for a long weekend. This was the perfect home base for our family. It is a cute and cozy cottage right on the water!! There are two queen beds and a full bed. Five of us stayed. One of the teens opted for the couch so they didn’t have to share a bed. The sleeping porch is the cutest! My adult daughter claimed that bed and the sunrise view is indescribable! The sleeping porch has its own AC unit and is super cool during this heat wave. We played games and cards every night around the big table on the sleeping porch. Lots of memories made! We drove to D.C. and it took about an hour and a half. Not bad. Drove to Wilmington and Newark, Delaware as well. Havre d’ grace is super close with lots of cute shops and restaurants like The Tidewater to eat on the water. The host had a box fan available which was nice for nighttime. (If you have to sleep with a fan, you know!)Other things: the water pressure in the shower is amazing! They left us plenty of toilet paper and paper towels, which is nice. They even provided beach towels in addition to bath towels. We used the washer/dryer- if you’ve not used a combo system like that before, just be prepared that it takes longer than a usual separate washer and dryer. Still, what a convenience! Short story: We loved it!

Perfect place to relax

Adorable little property right on the water. The house has essentials needed for day to day tasks. We stayed for a weekend in October. The house, hot tub and fire pit kept us warm! 15 min to towns for shopping and dining. It was a wonderful, relaxing weekend. I hope to return with my husband in the spring!

Amazing summer weekend at the cottage!!

My friends and I had the best weekend here. It was the perfect spot by the river (mornings and sunsets were especially dreamy). The house included kayaks, a smart tv for the occasional rainy day, ample outdoor seating, a great hot tub, fire pit, and everything you need for an amazing summer weekend. The neighborhood was super cute and the host, Jess, was extremely responsive and helpful. We didn’t want to leave!! Will definitely be back.

Relaxing getaway

My wife and I and our dog like to go away at Xmas and just relax. Although record cold temps made it freezing outside this was a cozy place to stay. They supplied plenty of heat for our stay and the communication was great. Unfortunately was only thawing out when we left so couldn't do as much outside as we wanted, you can tell it is a beautiful view over the water. Birds were coming around the last day we were there when the ice on the water started to break up.

Peaceful, Waterfront Cottage

Don’t judge a “book” by the cover. The curb appeal of the home needs a little sprucing but once inside we were beyond please with the cleanliness, use of space and amazing waterfront location offered through the beautiful views from the back of the property. We stayed as a family of 5 while traveling for a lacrosse tournament. We had plenty of space. The “porch bedroom” was a favorite! The house had all we needed and an easy drive to the fields. The use of kayaks was a great perk to fill our time while not at the lacrosse fields! We would highly recommend for anyone looking for time on the water, can’t get any closer!
