This is a great property and house to get away for a quiet weekend. The owner communicates well and timely, and the house is clean. Plenty of space for our 6 adults. We enjoyed kayaking on Hudson Creek but paddle boards also available. Highly recommend this property - 15 minutes west of Cambridge, MD

Perfect R&R

For my wife and I this was the perfect place to forget about work, kick back and just relax for a few days with our fur baby. Quiet, private and peaceful. No luck catching any fish from the dock but I suspect my fishing skills need a bit of polishing. There are a couple of old crab traps which did catch some crabs but l released them or they escaped on their own. We did not take advantage of the kayaks but they were there for your enjoyment. We cooked almost every meal during our stay. Kitchen had pretty much everything you need to prepare meals. A/C and fans worked great. Some things like the BBQ grill could use some TLC. Had a couple of very minor issues, but the host was readily available and all was resolved. Overall we truly enjoyed our stay.

Great location with lots of privacy. The dock and the kayaks were a great hit with the family. Really no need to go anywhere. The house was really nice and very spacious. Some of the amenities like the grill and kitchen supplies could use some updating. A nice place to unwind with family and friends.

Beautiful property, restful retreat

I booked this house for the property, the backyard, the dock, and it didn't disappoint. It's also about 20 mins from the main town (Cambridge) which was exactly what we wanted - a break from crowds and the bustle. We had such a relaxing few days just reading, fishing from the dock, and kayaking. We were four people, but this would easily fit two families. A wonderful stay overall.

Amazing water view

If you are looking for a peaceful stay with beautiful water views this is it. The pluses for us were the access to the kayaks and paddle boards and with very little traffic (almost none) on the water, the less experienced felt very safe. The dock is fabulous place for your morning coffee. The deck has a fully enclosed railing with gate so if you had small children or dogs, you didn't need to worry about an accidental escape. It has spacious living quarters and seating. All five of us agreed we would come back again.

Boys Annual Fall Glamping

This house was the perfect venue for our trip- we caught fish and crabs off the backyard pier, we watched the sun rise and set off the pier, we very much enjoyed relaxing by the fire pit with the stash of fire wood right next to it. The picnic table in the yard and decks allowed us to dine alfresco. The deck grill was very helpful for us in prepping our meals.. we hope to come back again and recommend this place to anyone seeking some quiet time from the city.

Family getaway

Had a lovely stay at this Cambridge waterfront property. It is about 20 minutes outside of town in a lovely quiet neighborhood. Plenty of room for two families with children and dogs. We all had a nice time out on the kayaks and paddleboards, and spent evenings watching the sun go down and crabbing. We had quite a few mosquitoes, so plan to pack extra bug spray. The crabbing was fantastic, and the host had two large crab pots in addition to two small crab traps for our enjoyment. The kids had a great time, and we caught over 3 dozen crabs. The host was very responsive to communications and was a pleasure to work with.

Fantastic house and location

TL;DR: we had the best vacation in years here! Long Story: We were 2 families (9 in total) and stayed for a week. The house is about a 25 minute drive to Cambridge where you have food, groceries and a Walmart for supplies. The house, dock and property location were the primary reasons we chose to stay here, as its very quiet and remote but close enough to go out to dinner. One tip: as you're driving to and from Cambridge, keep your eyes open for deer as they can jump out in front of you in a pack. The house itself was great, stocked with toys, games, fishing poles, crab traps, kayaks and bikes. You'll need to bring your own bedsheets, towels and supplies like toilet paper and paper towels. The owner, Alan, is very responsive and communicates all of this in his welcome letter. We brought our own fishing gear and right off the dock you can catch dozen of Perch and Spot in the early morning and evening which can be used as live bait for larger fish in the Chesapeake. We rented a boat from Slaughter Creek Marina and they delivered and picked up the boat to the house if you rent for several days, otherwise it's about a 45 drive to them. The bedrooms are comfortable and there's air conditioning in all of them. Wifi was great and cell service was fine on ATT, Verizon and TMobile. Watching the sun rise in the morning from the dock is amazing! If you're looking for a place away from the crowds but close to a city, you can't go wrong staying here!

Beautiful views and peaceful setting

The location on the water allowed our family to enjoy swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing and attempts at crabbing. The outdoor space provided plenty of room for the kids to play ball, run around, have water gun fights without worry of disturbing the neighbors (the house is on a cul de as). We also biked, took long walks and visited local crab shack for delicious crabs. Our host Alan was easy to contact and answered our questions timely. Overall we had a lovely vacation! Lisa (renter)
