About this cottage rental

The minute you step into our charming waterfront cottage you will feel right at home!

Situated on Harness Creek, in a quiet residential neighborhood, the Yellow Cottage is a great place to 'get away from it all'. Recently renovated, our historic cottage has all of the modern day comforts to make your stay enjoyable. With the original heart pine floors and a huge farm sink in the kitchen, we have retained the feeling of a true waterfront cottage.

A cheerful country kitchen greets you as you enter the front door. If it's just a cup of tea you want or something more elaborate, the kitchen has it all. Beyond the kitchen is a sunny combination dining and living room area. Two oversize comfy chairs face the water in the sitting area where you can read or relax with a glass of wine.

With the two bedrooms, the cottage sleeps four guests in either a queen or full sized bed. A sleep sofa in the living room can sleep additional guests.

During the summer months enjoy life on the creek! Bring your fishing rod and cast from the pier or try your hand at catching some local crabs. Kayaks and paddle boards are included for your enjoyment. Visit us during the fall and watch the leaves change across the creek from your Adirondack chair each morning. Or settle in for a cozy winter weekend at the cottage with a good book and some hot chocolate!

My family and I had a wonderful stay at the Little Yellow Cottage on Harness Creek. Our Naval Academy Plebe Patrick was able to get some well needed rest and relaxation. Patrick and his three brothers also had a great time fishing and catching crabs from the dock. The cottage is very clean and we loved the sea side decor. Quiet neighborhood with an amazing winery within walking distance. With two sons at the Naval Academy we will definitely be staying at the Yellow Cottage again. Thank You! Go Navy⚓️🇺🇸

Our family of three adored staying in this beautiful, sweet cottage. Charming decorations, amazing location in the Chesapeake basin, and a very well appointed home made our first time to the area a very memorable and relaxing trip. Just what we needed!

Harness creek cottage was immaculate. Rhonda supplied us withsome starbucks for us to enjoy and all the basic necessities. Coffee pot, microwave, dishes and some spices. I particularly enjoyed a big ol’ bowl of grits. She had laundry down in the basement and a grill. The cottage had plenty of space for my family of three. There is a water view from the back porch. Down the hill Rhonda had kayaks and stand up paddle boards for us to use. We had a blast paddling around the water. Harness creek is very centrally located. Just a 30-45 minute drive to Washington DC and Baltimore. Downtown Annapolis was just minutes away. I would stay at Harness Creek again in a heartbeat

Fresh flowers welcomed us. Nice touch. Everything we needed supplied, including some things we forgot to pack. Owners are right next door so very limited privacy.

We had a beautiful and restful stay while our daughter attended a summer provram at the Naval Academy. Rhonda was so helpful and kind with lots of good suggestions. Her gardens are amazing and the cottage was comfortable and well stocked. . The only suggestion is to bring beach shoes if you want to swim or kayak-very slippery by dock.

What a magical property! Very cute, with a well-appointed kitchen (and amazing farm sink). Steps from the water, and having direct access to kayaks was so convenient. Only complaint is that the beds and furniture are, unfortunately, uncomfortable. Overall, a great place.

Incredible stay at the yellow cottage. There is not a single thing that was not great. Quiet, relaxing, beautiful and exactly what my family needed for rest between lacrosse games. The kayaks were a perfect addition for my son and his buddies. The cottage may not be big, but it is large in character and comfort.

The Yellow Cottage was perfect for my husband and me as we visited family in the area. Harness Creek is a very quiet and beautiful location, yet only a short drive into Annapolis and to the surrounding areas. It is a comfortable, no-frills space but at the same time it has everything you need. Rhonda is always available to help out and answer any questions.

My wife and I had a wonderful time staying at the Yellow Cottage. The location is peaceful but still close enough to everything you would want to do. Owner is very friendly and available if needed. Would highly recommend if you are planning a stay in Annapolis. Would easily consider staying again if coming back to the area.

Nice property - we did not get to spend as much time at the property as we'd have liked to - our schedule was too full. Really liked the winery down the street. Will be back.

Wanted to attend my USNA 50th reunion, but didn't want to stay in a big hotel. The Yellow Cottage was perfect for us. Close to the stadium and downtown, but very quiet and secluded. Too bad our schedule was so packed that we didn't have an opportunity to enjoy the property. Next time we will!

We had a family wedding and the yellow cottage was just what we needed. Mornings drinking coffee while sitting in adirondack chairs watching kayaks and paddle boards drift by on the river and close enough to where we needed to be in the evening. Would definitely look at staying in the yellow house next time we are in Annapolis.

What a great little cottage on Harness Creek. We were in Annapolis for 2/C Parents weekend and this was a great location to come back to and enjoy! We had plenty of space, a very well equipped kitchen, enjoyed kayaking and paddle boarding on the creek, great sleeping spaces and just an overall great experience! Would definitely recommend The Yellow Cottage on Harness Creek!

The house was perfect, very comfortable and just what we needed. The water activities were fantastic, with plenty of paddle boards and kayaks to choose from. The location is great, right across the water from a large public park, so there were plenty of little inlets and small beaches to explore in the kayaks. The host was very welcoming and helpful. Highly recommend!

What a great find. It is tucked away in an idyllic setting but only minutes away from Historic Annapolis and USNA. The little house is clean and comfortable. Everything you need is provided just bring your clothes and groceries if desired. It was a comfortable size for the 4 of us including 2 teenagers. I loved the little sitting/reading area overlooking the water. The beds were comfortable and the shower had good water pressure. We will definitely stay here again if returning to the area.

Our family loved our 3-day stay at this charming cozy cottage, beautifully decorated. Communication with Rhonda was great. Grounds are lush and beautifully landscaped with mature growth beautiful flowers. The eat-in kitchen was well-equipped and the shower was wonderful. Our adult children were excited to be able to use the kayaks and loved the water view. With lots of windows and an interior painted in yellow, it was such a bright, cheery cottage. It is a short 10 minute drive to the historic area of Annapolis. It on a lovely road with a rural feel to it and close to gorgeous homes and the South River.

The Yellow Cottage is in a beautiful neighborhood, on the water and convenient to all of Annapolis attractions. Access to several state parks is convenient and we enjoyed a different scenic hike every day. We look forward to returning so that we can enjoy some of the offered water sports. The cottage is stylishly quaint with a peaceful ambiance!

Loved the yellow cottage and will come again! While residing here for 20 days, I entertained over 21 guests (no more than 3 @ time) and they ALL loved the cottage the details…relaxing, peaceful and well appointed to meet every need. Many of my guests suggested they would come back for a long weekend! This is a 5+++ and I highly recommend. The desk and location overlooking the water was perfect for my Zoom calls and the time I spent writing. Can’t say enough good things about the location, the cottage and the care! What a special place.
