Nice stay!

The property was very clean. Nice historic feeling to the place with its pine floors (although stairs are steep and narrow) yet kitchen & bathrooms very updated and new. We all commented how nice the outdoor space in the back looked - would like to return in warmer weather to use it! The beds were super comfortable. We were there on a very cold weekend and the main level stayed pretty cool while the upstairs was comfortable (there was 1 thermostat and we didn't want to turn it up too high as it would have gotten very warm upstairs.) We needed an extra layer to socialize on the main level. It wasn't too much of an issue for our group as we weren't there too much. The location was great! (We enjoyed hearing the national anthem every morning from the Yard.) Very walkable to/from downtown.

Roomy place in downtown Annapolis

Perfect spot for easy access to USNA "Yard" through gate 3 for those with a "CAC". Up to two hours of parking along street at a time. Easy 7 min walk to garage parking on other side of nearby St Johns College that is free over night.

Recent USNA Visit

The Hanover House was extremely well-appointed and perfectly situated in Downtown Annapolis. It was immaculate and spacious - plenty of room for a family and/or friends get-together. The only challenge, which is the case for nearly all properties Downtown, was lack of adjacent parking. There are, however, some nearby garages and USNA directly across the street (if you are a DoD member). I definitely recommend and would stay here again. Thank you!

No notes

Everything was great at Hanover house. It was spotless and smelled clean and fresh when we arrived. The beds were comfortable. The layout was nice and fit 7 of us with no problem. The updated and well-appointed bathrooms made a huge difference in comparison to other rentals. The location is great. Easy walking to everything downtown. The pedestrian gate (gate 3) to USNA only allows you to exit so you’ll need to walk to gate 1 to enter if you don’t have a military ID or pass. But it was convenient for accessing the yard nonetheless. It would be nice if a parking spot was included but it seems it’s rare for the area. We preferred parking on the street in front of St. John’s rather than the parking deck because it was free until 10am versus 6am.

DO NOT MISS THIS!

We had a spectacular weekend staying in this charming city and the EXCLAMATION POINT was this home from start to finish! Hanover Home delighted at every turn. This home is quaint and you can feel the history talking in it! We had eight guests and were all very comfortable in this lovely home! The kids loved the upstairs room on the 3rd floor! The kitchen has every single thing you need and the layout of the downstairs and backyard allowed for us to host a wonderful gathering for friends and family! The decor and furnishings are fresh and top quality. The backyard is spacious and we made good use of the grill and fire pit with plenty of chairs for all! You simply cannot find a better location for enjoying this town and also the Naval Academy! It literally backs to the Academy and when you walk out in the morning you see the sun rising over the gorgeous iconic Naval Academy Chapel Dome. The management company also did a great job in communicating promptly with any questions that arose. I give the owner's of this home an A plus plus to the owner's for their attention to detail and the warmth they have created to make this a place one we never wanted to leave!!!! Be back soon!

Great House for Group, Quiet & Walkable Location

I stayed here for a weekend with a group of friends and would absolutely recommend! It was exactly as listed - easy to get in with the electronic keypad, clean and comfortable, and the perfect location. Its a super quick walk to hang out in Annapolis, but also tucked away on a side street for quieter nights. The owners were very responsive to the few questions we had during our stay.

Visit to USNA

This is our second stay in this home on a trip to visit Annapolis. It is a perfect location to visit USNA, downtown Annapolis, or the Waterfront area. Parking is often available nearby, and garages are within easy walking distance. It is comfortable, cozy, and clean. We will likely be back soon!!

This place was wonderful! Came with a parking pass and was easily walkable to anything downtown Annapolis! The hosts made us feel welcome and were good communicators. Interior was beautifully updated. Our party of 7 adults stayed comfortably. Wonderful relaxing back yard. We could hear taps and revelry each day as well as bell tower chimes . Would definitely stay there again!
