About this property
Historic Rousby Hall, Waterfront, Patuxent River
*Solomons Island FIREWORKS VIEW* Rousby Hall is located on the Patuxent River, outside of Solomons Island with a view of the river's opening to the Chesapeake Bay. The 16-acre property is adjacent to our very private conservation area that borders our 300 foot private beach. The year-round property has a pier, in-ground pool (May-October) with amazing river views. Family-style dinners by Chef Robert Wiedmaier upon request.
Rousby Hall of Calvert County is a historic home that has been beautifully maintained and updated over the decades for modern conveniences. The eat-in kitchen seats 6-8 and there is a large picnic table poolside including Weber gas and charcoal grills and a fire pit. This is an all-year-round property with fabulous bird watching, fishing off the pier, playing in the sand on the private beach, bonfires and grilling, boat watching, kayaks for four, beautiful sunsets on the Patuxent River and nearby hiking at Calvert Cliffs. One of the bedrooms is on the main floor, the other three are reached by stair. This is a dedicated rental property; spacious, free of clutter and other people's personal knick-knacks, more like an upscale, country, inn. There is an office with a desk, printer, office chair and internet. Pool is open May through October and heated when outdoor temps drop in September/October. The pool has an electric pool cover that is kept closed during the off-season, when heated or when guests want it closed for safety reasons during pool season. At Rousby Hall, we do not use on grass, plants, gravel, any glyphosate-based herbicide products on the property.
The barn/garage houses the owner's lawn equipment and studio and will have full access at any time to remove and use the equipment. Renters will be allowed to store bikes/toys in the garage. The owners also keep a boat on the Rousby Hall pier boat lift and maintain two crab pots and have access to it at all times. Guests are not to board the boat or operate the lift. The owners also own a beehive and will access property for maintenance. The beehive is located far away from the home and will not impact guests. Owners will also service the pool, clean skimmers, etc weekly.
Other things to note
We maintain two crab pots on the Rousby Hall pier and sell crabs locally and to Air guests. We also provide river Pontoon rides for up to 8 guests, 75 minutes, $200.
Inquire within for private events, retreats and weddings; additional charges for rental of venue above nightly rates will apply. Visit rousbyhall dot com.
We are located near the end of Rousby Hall Road, across from a single family neighborhood that borders Mill Creek and is a nice place to walk, run, ride bikes. Grocery stores, Starbucks, etc is a short eight minute drive. Visit us on Insta @rousbyhall

About the host
Hosted by Virginia "Polly" Wiedmaier

Hi, I'm brand new to VRBO, I'm also an AirBnB Superhost since the summer, of 2020. My husband, Chef Robert Wiedmaier, and I own and operate restaurants in DC, MD, VA and NJ. We understand hospitality, attention to detail and work hard to make all our guests happy and want to return to Rousby Hall. We bought Rousby Hall 10 years ago, one year after we bought the home next door (Maryland's first customs house). We have lived here full-time, since 2021, previously lived in Montgomery County and LOVE living here in Southern Maryland. We turned Rousby Hall into an AirBnB during the pandemic for lack of anything else to do when all our businesses were shut down.
Why they chose this property
Rousby Hall is a magical place; a beautifully restored home over the decades on 16 acres. If you appreciate Maryland's history, this is the place. The previous owners wrote a book about Rousby Hall that I can share with you in advance of your stay. John Rousby is buried on the property and the home has many original features and a story to tell!
What makes this property unique
Bird watching in the six acres of preservation area, 300' private beach, a pier to fish and watch the sunsets. A family-friendly pool, amazing water views, boat watching to and fro from the opening of the Chesapeake Bay to Solomons Island. We also host weddings and private events, visit rousbyhall.com for more information. Chef Wiedmaier is also available for chef dinners, served family style.
