Waterfront cottage for paddle boarding, kayaking, crabbing, and fishing
This renovated waterfront one bedroom cottage is located in a quiet community called Banks O'dee. Located one hour from DC, Budds Motorcross Speedway, Maryland International Raceway and close to wineries and historic Virginia.
The house itself offers a view of Cuckold Creek and Perry Branch to view from the pier or the screened in porch. The pier is shared with our home next door. We also have a boat ramp and a ladder for swimming off the pier.
You’ll find an abundance of wildlife here. It's not unusual to be sitting out in the yard and see bald eagles, osprey, swans & great blue heron doing their thing. Frequently, you will see deer standing along the side of Banks O’ Dee Road.
The house is located in an old fashioned charming community, on a creek right off the historic Potomac River. The community is very small and quiet, and the neighbors are very friendly!
You are more than welcome to bring your boat, jet ski, kayak or canoe and use our private pier along with the community boat ramp. You can navigate to several restaurants from Cuckold Creek to the Potomac river. Charter fishing, boat rentals, and cruises can be reserved at nearby Cobb Island. Crab traps, kayaks, and paddle boards are provided for your use.

I thought it might need tongs for flipping the bacon at breakfast.It was very well stocked otherwise and clean.Very happy with our stay and super quiet and safe.
We enjoyed our stay at the waterfront cottage with yoga on the dock in the morning, afternoon kayaking and dinner at Captain Billy’s Seafood restaurant. Down time spent reading and nature watching made the for the perfect weekend.
This is a comfortable place with a lovely view. It was easy to launch our kayaks and we really enjoyed our time on the water. The location is great and the neighborhood is peaceful. Our dogs love to swim and they had a great time, too!
We stayed here for the weekend while attending a car show at the raceway close by. Very private and welcoming. Great place to relax and unwind after a long day.
The location was perfect for us for a few days to get away. Being on the water was perfect. We loved being able to bring our fur babies with us. The kitchen had everything we needed. Tina was a great host. We hope to go back again.
This was my third time staying here. Beautiful home on the river. Caught plenty of fish and crab. Home is incredibly clean and cozy. Tina is quick to answer any and all questions. Will definitely be back. Thanks!
We chose to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary here for a quiet weekend away with our dog. The house provided everything we needed and the owners were great to deal with. Highly recommend!!
