We loved staying here and would definitely stay here again. The house has everything you need and then some. This property lives up to it consistent 10 rating. Extra nice touches leaving snacks and smores ingredients. I want to come back to enjoy more of the outdoor activities, but we enjoyed relaxing and water the birds.
Incredibly communicative host! Loved the special touches especially for staying over thanksgiving l.

Thank you for your review. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay. Please comeback anytime maybe when it’s a little warmer so you can use all the outdoor amenities.
Awesome place, great experience. House was clean and there were so many nice added touches by the host. Would definitely come back!! Thanks for the hospitality!!
We enjoyed our stay very much. The host is extremely thoughtful to ensure your stay is great. She put her own personal touch to make us feel welcome and comfortable. The place is very clean and there are a lot of amenities that they offer. Highly recommend!!
We had such a relaxing time here! Absolutely beautiful location and property. Lots of fun on the river and in the pool. Owners were fantastic and quick to respond. Very sweet arrival basket for us with all things Maryland!
Host went above standards for making the home inviting from throw blankets, various indoor and outdoor cooking appliances, games and water fun to welcome basket items and muffins. Even left us items for Bear -Raven game when she found out we were going to the games. Highly recommend. The rooms were so comfortable and lots of space

Domonique, it was a pleasure meeting and having you and your family at our property. We would love to have you back again. Thanks for the lovely review.
This was a perfection of balance. The simple calm beauty of the natural surroundings and the pampering comfort of exquisitely appointed modern and tasteful accommodations. Add to this the hostess’s quickness to assure that all needs are provided for. Why would I want to go any where else?

Thank you so much!!! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay….please come back again (working on that hot tub idea) thanks :)
We have stayed at many vacation rentals over the years. This place was something special!! Wonderful and friendly hosts (pet lab included :), exceptionally clean, tastefully decorated, and comfortable. The combination of the pool and the bay made the stay so enjoyable and fun. Our hosts made it more special by having so many different extras- paddleboards, pool loungers, kayak, canoe, backyard games, etc- we needed to have stayed longer to enjoy it all ! Thank you Sheila!

Thanks, we are so happy you enjoyed your stay come back anytime
We only wished we had been able to stay longer. There are so many amenities that we didn't even get to. But the view of the water and the pool was more than enough for our 4th of July weekend. Everything is new about this rental and the decor is so warm and inviting. The owners spare no detail, right down to the super soft blankets that are conviently place everywhere. This place is truely a find!
I just wanted to say me and my friends had a great time. The host bought me cupcakes for my birthday. She made sure everything was just right for my stay and she was very responsive. House was very clean better than pictures. Everything was at my disposal and even if I didn’t have anything, she was willing to help will book again soon.
We had a great time at this beautiful property. It had all the outdoor amenities we could ask for (river view, pool, plenty of seating, fire pit, use of canoe/kayak and fishing poles). Three nights wasn’t enough to enjoy everything. It was so beautiful outside that we really neglected the very updated and clean interior. The location is secluded so you can enjoy your privacy, but most bars, restaurants, etc are within 15 minutes drive. I’d be remiss to not mention how thoughtful the owners were, having set up decorations as I’d mentioned it being our anniversary and also providing very nice snacks for our arrival. Nothing to complain about during our stay. Highly recommended!

Thank you so much for the lovely review…Please come back anytime :)
In my 25 years of renting properties for my college girls weekend this has got to have been the best experience we have ever had. The hosts were simply amazing. From building fire pit for us each night of our stay to helping us get the grill going for one of our dinners they made us feel like we were at a resort, not just a rental property. The pool was amazing and the chairs were set up with towels each day so all we had to do was bring our book and beverage to enjoy it. The house was clean, beds comfortable, and little touches like snacks for when we arrived and a smores kit for the fireplace made this rental that much more special. I would not hesitate to rent this house again. The views, pool and river toys let you be as active or nonactive as you want to be. Thank you for such a wonderful stay and for ordering up such amazing weather while we were there!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review.. please come back again we would love to have you!!!!
My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary. The check in was super easy! She had a S’more pack ready to go, towels in the pool lounges, toothbrushes (lucky because we forgot ours…lol… The views of the River were beautiful and we were blessed to see an eagle the morning we left. The bed was so comfortable which is not something we can say often due to bad backs and hips (husband is disabled vet/Ranger). Our host, Sheila, was wonderful. She literally thought of EVERYTHING! So many things to do -we opted for pool time and peace… ;-)
