We you this place for the groomsmen’s house and it was perfect! They allow multiple cars to be parked I. The driveway which is super helpful especially when you have multiple people coming from different places. The kitchen and table was excellent we were able to sit everyone around the table and enjoy brunch! I would definitely recommend!

Anne was super responsive and helpful! The house is spacious, comfortable, with an extremely well stocked kitchen - plan to cook! We had our very first seafood broil ever, thanks to the equipment on hand. There are plenty of kayaks and a canoe, with easy access to the water. The screened in porch and deck were stellar for a summer trip when (as expected) the bugs are out in full force. When you’re there, make sure to go to Emily’s Fresh Produce farmers market about 5 mins or so down the road for fresh everything and some of the best milkshakes I’ve ever had.

House was wonderful, it had something for all ages, plenty of room for our group of 17. We also had family that lived nearby by over for breakfast one morning and still plenty of room. Lots of utensils for all our cooking needs. House was very clean. Host was very responsive with a couple of questions we had. Everyone enjoyed their stay with many memories made.

Beautiful property

My family had a wonderful time in Woolford. The screened-in porch, big living and dining spaces and the 4 bathrooms for 10 people made for a comfortable stay. Henry the Blue Heron was there every morning indeed and we got the canoes and kayaks the last morning of our stay and it was really refreshing. The massive dining room table was perfect for our crab feast. In July with 100 RealFeel it was ideal to have the option to do it inside this year. Would visit again!

Blue Heron

Plenty of room, well stocked kitchen, great spaces. Kayaks and ping pong big hit. Outdoor spaces was good, although high tide and rain made it swampy. Screened in porch looking out to water a treat.

Pet dandruff was throughout the house, water smelled of rotten eggs and some red sticky substance was left on the garage floor. The carpet was stained and furniture was worned. The house is roomy and a very nice set-up for multiple families. If family members were not allergic to pet dandrull I would rent again.

Family vacation

The home was spacious and clean. We appreciated the comfortable beds and linens.The kitchen is well stocked and functions well.Simply and nicely decorated.We looked forward to kayaking and enjoyed that, but,it is quite mushy getting down and into the water. We went to all the recommended locations and enjoyed them all. It is a quiet location, free of traffic and crowds. After our stay at the blue heron we finished the day at st Michael’s just 48 minutes from the blue heron…… it’s a lovely quaint town.

Time With Family

We had a wonderful long weekend with family young and old. Our crew ranged in age from 80-10 years old and everyone had a blast. The house was spacious and we played games and spent time on the water in the kayaks and the canoe. We had crabs, jet skied and golfed in nearby Cambridge. This was really a great spot to spend time together!

Lots of room - sleeping and eating

A beautiful location to enjoy Maryland crabs with a big family. We cracked crabs and enjoyed the view from the large dining room table. Because of the great air conditioning we were able to keep cool in the afternoon inside. In the morning, we enjoyed coffee outside. Communication was excellent up until a few days before we checked in. Then responses were delayed.

Perfect for family fun!

This house is huge and has lots of different indoor and outdoor gathering spaces so the kids and adults in our group of three families didn’t have to be on top of each other in one living space the whole time. Big firepit area and huge lawn were great, and we enjoyed the kayaks and canoe. There’s a place to buy fresh crabs, oysters, and shrimp very close by, and the house has everything you need for a crab night. The owner was incredibly responsive and kind.

Enjoyable and relaxing

This house worked well for our group of ten. Everything was clean, and the great tables allowed us to share our meals together in comfort. The rooms over the garage allowed the kids some privacy. The kitchen was well equipped, and everything worked well. Our younger set enjoyed the kayaks and canoes in spite of the chilly weather.

A beautiful gem near Cambridge, MD

Perfect home/location for our group of 15 adults to do the six pillars century bike ride. Clean and comfortable beddings to rest before our ride. Well equipped kitchen with large dinning tables to share meals before and after the ride. We couldn’t enjoy the beautiful outdoors day after our bike ride due to heavy rain…wished we could since the home has a gorgeous back yard and well-equipped with several kayaks and fire pit. Anne was so easy to connect with…everything absolutely EXCEEDED our expectations. Highly recommend for large families or group of friends…plenty of rooms for everyone!

Perfect retreat

We had a lovely stay at The Blue Heron. We had a retreat scheduled with friends that we had to relocate last minute due to snow in western Maryland. We stumbled upon this listing, and the home was perfect for our needs. Plenty of beds, fully stocked kitchen, several rooms and couches for those who wanted to read, others to play games, and others to watch football playoffs on tv. The best part of the house was the dining room table that could seat up to 18 (?). It was nice to be able to not have to separate into different rooms for meals. We are so grateful we stumbled upon this home! I’m sure in the warmer months, it’s lovely to be outside on the water, which is right in the back yard.
