Cozy home w/fenced in yard-Dog Friendly with Pet fee. 2 block walk to downtown!
My husband and I stumbled upon this cozy home at the mouth of the Susquehanna River and the top of the Chesapeake Bay in historic Havre de Grace. Only a few miles to I-95 for easy access to Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington D.C. or New York City. The Great Wolfs Lodge and Perryville Hollywood Casino are 10 minutes away. This is a small single family two- story home built in 1880. A dog door opening leads to a fenced in back yard. (There is a non- refundable $200 Pet fee). The large porch is one step into the home. A combo lock box is between the storm door for easy entrance. Code will be supplied a few days before stay. Parking is free, but parking can sometimes be difficult, as there are so many visitors to the town. Handicapped parking is available across the street. The Queen size bedroom and dressing room are on the second floor. The home was built in 1880 so these stairs are narrow. As you walk in the front door, a small couch/bed to the right side has a window air conditioner. The main room has a baby grand piano which you are welcome to play. We have internet and wifi with a TV and an electric fireplace for chilly nights . The dining area and kitchen have microwave, coffee maker and dishwasher. There is a door leading to the large fenced in back yard with a large pet door. We welcome pets, there is a $200 Non- refundable pet fee( with references). Yes, the cats and dogs in the photos are real to let you know if you have allergies, this is not the place for you. Our pets are with us at our other home. The bath area is a newer shower with seat and a washing machine is available for use. Clothes can be air dried either on the line outside or the drying rack upstairs. There is a cot available for one extra guest. The upstairs bedroom has a window AC unit and a Queen size mattress. The closet and all dressers, nightstand drawers available to the guests in both bedrooms. Coffee, linens, towels, etc are supplied. Every weekend there seems to be a music, art or cultural festival. I have another home and are not able to take advantage of all the great events and happenings. Walk to restaurants, theater, the Opera House, Library, Post Office, Museums and the beautiful water. Go sailing, Kayaking, Paint, Hike the Lafayette Trail or enjoy Bombay's treats. Hollywood Casino and The Great Wolf Lodge is only a few miles away. Please note that the police department is only 1 1/2 blocks away and there are 5 fire departments in this town. Great for safety concerns, but sometimes the sirens will go off. Also the train to DC runs right thru Havre die Grace. You will hear its whistle and horn. I try to accommodate everyone but this home is not suitable for more than 3 people with one car. Please let me know if you have any special requests and I will do my best. Suzanne

Perfect location. We were in town for a wedding and it was only a 3-4 block walk to the center of town. It was also a nice quiet street. The host was easy to get in touch with and very accommodating.

We loved our stay at this charming little house in Havre De Grace. It's just a short walk from the main area of shops and restaurants. It has charm and personality. And the host is exceptionally courteous and went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed and enjoyed our stay.
We were super happy staying at this place! It was in a great location, and very easy to walk to many cool places! The backyard was awesome for hanging out in with my dog first thing in the morning, and the weather was absolutely perfect during our stay! I also love that there is a piano there to play, which I did daily. I would definitely recommend this house, and I would most certainly stay there again!

Suzanne was wonderful!!The house was just what I was looking for. Love the neighborhood and the ability to walk downtown and check out the shops. Looking forward to staying again next year!
It was great to meet the host, very welcoming and informative as we checked into the home. The location was perfect for our time, with easy walking distance to the town, harbor and shopping/restaurants. There was a 3-ring binder full of helpful information on a wide variety of things to do, maps, and restaurants. Parking was easy, right in front of the home which is a plus. The home was well equipped in the kitchen, bathroom and home entertainment needs. Nice porch to sit and have morning coffee, and fenced in back yard with chairs for relaxing in after walking downtown. All around, an enjoyable place to stay. Thank you to the host.
Suzanne’s place is in great location, has a perfect yard for traveling with a dog, and is very cleverly arranged. She could not have been more helpful and her communication with was was excellent.We had a bit of trouble with the key pad but she responded immediately to resolve the issue.We would stay there again!
We had a wonderful stay! Cute little property and home with a wonderful host who was very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely stay again! Thank you Suzanne!!
We had a wonderful stay here. The host’s hospitality and flexibility made everything easy, and her responsiveness was truly appreciated. She even extended the check-out time as a bonus! The binder of instructions and local ideas was helpful; and the home felt warm and cozy, The decor complemented the character of the house very well.Amenities were outstanding. Towels, bed linens, pillows and blankets were plentiful. The kitchen was fully stocked with quality appliances, general pantry ingredients, and many canned choices. The shower had great hot water. And the listing photos accurately reflected the space, including the loveseat and baby‑grand piano. Check‑in and out were simple and accommodating. Street parking worked fine for us. The location was walkable to most attractions, which made the waterfront stroll even more inviting. Overall, this was one of the most thoughtfully prepared places we’ve stayed; and we’d gladly return.

Dear Kris,
Thank you so much for this kind review. Come back anytime.
Safe travels,

We were in town for a friend's wedding and this cozy house was perfect for us traveling with our English bull dog. We had a friend stay with us and we all enjoyed the house. The primary bedroom has the best bed and I got two great nights of sleep. There was plenty of space for three adults and the dog. Communication with Suzanne was wonderful. She is a fantastic host.

We enjoyed our stay. The house is on a quiet side street and within walking distance to all of the downtown attractions. The king size bed was comfortable and the kitchen was nicely equipped.
Host was excellent making sure we had everything we needed and more for a comfortable stay. The home was very cozy and comfortable like being in your own home. We will definitely be returning!
