About the host

Hosted by Lauri Bruce

Host profile image
We recently purchased the cottage next door from family friends. We set about a year converting it to open, airy cottage. We have lived in this neighborhood for over 30 years and are happy to share this amazing and magical place with you. Scott is a retired Navy Test Pilot and currently working in the Electric Vehicle Industry and Lauri is a Yoga Therapist and Artist. Many of her paintings hang in the cottage. We are happy to help you make your stay as memorable as possible. Enjoy!

Why they chose this property

Valley Lee Maryland has been home to us since 1984. The home next to the cottage was our first home we ever purchased. This is one of the most beautiful spots on earth. We have travel extensively but for pure peace and beauty this is it for us.

What makes this property unique

You can see some body of water from every room in the house. The living room faces west and the sunsets paint the house with every color you can imagine. You can swim, float, borrow our kayaks, fish, crab and just sit and gaze at the beauty around you. Enjoy a picnic or a cookout and dine as the sunset over the Potomac.
