About this property

Fossil hunting - Museum - Solomons Boardwalk - Paddleboard/Boat Rentals nearby!

Spacious 1 bd, 1 ba private cottage on 3 acres. Beaches, marina's, fishing, boating nearby!

Experience a piece of Southern Maryland history. Bancroft Manor was among the first homes along St Leonard's creek. Every square foot of this house was renovated in 2019 - but the unique Tidewater Maryland architecture remains.

The Manor resides on 3 secluded acres. Close to everything Southern Maryland has to offer, yet feels a million miles away.

The Garden Cottage has a private yard with gas grill and and it's own private entrance. You also have a private yard with outdoor seating under the pergola and a gas fire pit.

Your Cottage is appointed in absolute luxury! Not a detail has been missed in making this your new favorite get away spot.

The kitchen has a full fridge, electric range/oven and large single basin sink. As well as everything you need to prepare and enjoy a meal. The kitchen also has a microwave, coffee maker and dishwasher.

You'll find the basic pantry staples like salt and pepper, spices, sugar/sugar substitute packets and creamer for coffee.

Your living room is appointed with a 32 inch smart TV. Login to your Netflix, Hulu or Prime TV account and watch your favorite movie or show. (Property does not have Cable TV.)

High Speed WIFI is available.

Your bedroom has a comfortable plush queen bed with nightstands and a lamp as well as easy reach outlets for device charging.

The bathroom has a shower/tub combo, and a good sized single sink vanity. You'll also find premium shampoo, conditioner and body wash should you need it. This bathroom is equipped with all the luxuries of home - including the size.

Enjoy your evenings in the private yard by the fire pit with a glass of wine. Grab some local meat/produce just up the road at The Chesapeake's Bounty and fire up the grill. Or take a 5 minute stroll just down the road for a drink and dinner on the water at Vera's Beach Club.

Lovely, comfortable getaway!

We found this great property when looking for a convenient and comfortable place to stay near Jefferson Patterson Park (for a summer 5K). The apartment delivered! It is clean and welcoming with a well-appointed kitchen and modern decor. We ate several of our meals there and made use of the grill (modern, clean, and easy-to-operate). Our favorite times were in the morning, enjoying coffee in the main living area. This property is great for couples. It is a short drive to the grocery store, restaurants, and local attractions. We plan to sign-up for another 5k soon and stay here again.

Adorable Getaway

Absolutely loved our stay here. We had never been to the Lusby/Solomon's Island area and it did not disappoint. The little oasis Julie has created was perfection. The string lights from the car to the cottage, the homey vibe, and the seclusion from the rest of the manor was executed flawlessly. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

Great stay near Solomons

This property was spotless and well-appointed. It had all of the typical starter things and much more - great soaps, plenty of Keurig cups, sugar, creamer, etc. The cottage isn't huge but the space is used well. Also all of the furniture was in very good shape - we couldn't be happier with our 4 night stay! Thank you.

Perfect Getaway

This is a lovely cottage that is perfect for a couple and/or a single person looking to getaway from a busy city lifestyle. Especially if you're in need of r&r. Julie is a great host. She emailed excellent recommendations of things to do in the area and even emailed us to make sure we had everything we needed. We definitely recommend staying here.

About the host

Hosted by Julie

Hey, I'm Julie! My husband Jason and I are real estate investors in Southern Maryland. We are just two Libras trying to make the world a more beautiful place one renovation at a time.

Why they chose this property

I specifically remember the first time I saw this house shortly after relocating to Southern Maryland. I was incredibly intrigued by it and wondered what it even was - it was so mysterious. Just my style. Little did I know that a few years later we would get to turn it into our dream home.

When we saw the house for sale, despite being in pretty bad shape, we knew it had to be ours. The complete restoration/ renovation took over a year to complete.

I immediately had a vision for what I wanted to create, in that I knew this property was meant to be shared. With friends, with family and anyone else who wants to experience its majestic beauty. It really is quite a magical place. The home and the property has a personality of its own. And as I dreamed up the renovation, I fully listened to what this house and this land wanted to be again, and that's exactly what we created. And we hope and pray we did it justice.

It was definitely the biggest project of our lives. But now we are grateful to sit back and enjoy this as our full time home and share it with others as they pass through.
