Very clean beautiful house! We stayed there for a wedding weekend and it was perfect. Great location. The hosts were wonderful and got back to us right away! Would love to go back one day.
The Woodland Retreat property was quiet and a good location for our fall golf trip. All beds comfortable and the place was very clean. Good hot water for showering and plenty of towels / linens. The Owner was very responsive to all questions we had prior to checkin and during our stay. The Wifi worked well. This is a heavily wooded area and we enjoyed using the firepit and grill. Plenty of room to park if multiple parties are involved. While not real close to many restaurants most will deliver and we opted for this. A nice secluded getaway.
Our family came for a wedding on Kent Island and had a wonderful time at this location! The property was beautiful inside and out, tucked quietly away from busy streets - very peaceful, immaculate, and relaxing! Lou and Shelly were absolutely excellent hosts and we greatly appreciated them!
Beautiful, peaceful house in a quiet neighborhood. Great location for our son's wedding weekend, close to all venues. It was perfect having two levels of bedroom so everyone could enjoy their privacy. House was very clean and well stocked.
We really enjoyed our stay at Woodland Retreat. Even in November we were able to enjoy the beautiful backyard. We cooked dinner on the grill and had s’mores while enjoying the fire pit. Really appreciated the cleanliness of the whole house and the comfortable beds. The woodland setting is private but convenient to shopping,etc. Hosts are very kind and quick to respond to any questions.
Shelley & Lou were awesome hosts! Everything was immaculate and welcoming. It was like staying at a friends home. Close to restaurants and shopping, and peaceful at the same time. Had two places for entertaining and a big outdoor space to entertain as well. We will be back next year!
Our family was in the area for the Naval Academy graduation so the weekend was somewhat a reunion as well.
Many positives: Location, small touches like bottle of wine and two Navy mugs as gifts, cleanliness and proximity to the grocery.
The only negative was that the two bedrooms on the upper floor never got cool. A portable air conditioner or window unit would be helpful. We weren’t even there in the heat of the summer. Being more specific in the description on VRBO.
Thank you for the use of this lovely home in a lovely setting!
Everything was exactly as described on the listing. It’s the perfect spot for a peaceful and relaxing getaway, all while being close to a charming town. The hosts were very pleasant and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend this place!
This was our second time spending Thanksgiving week at Woodland Retreat. We appreciate the overall cleanliness of the house. All the beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked. The primary suite has plenty of room for baby’s portable crib. The downstairs bonus room is ideal for family movie night. The hosts are very kind and quick to respond to any questions.
The home was very accommodating for our family members and was very close to the wedding venue. We didn't need to purchase too many items that we needed for our stay. We would recommend this property to others.
