About this cottage rental

There are two houses on the property. In June of 2015 we completed a full and total re-build of the carriage house and are back up and running on VRBO. Since retiring in 2014, Clarissa and I are living full time in the house and you may see us from time to time, but the carriage house 'cottage' has been designed to be a get-away that is comfortable, elegant, private, cozy and memory making. It is perfect for families, couples, and or friends just wanting to spend some time together. It is far enough away from civilization to enjoy the water, sky, trees and wildlife, without being entirely out of touch. You are in short driving distance to Cambridge, Easton, St. Michaels, and Salisbury, or Ocean City for lots of day-trip entertainment. For nature lovers, we are near the Blackwater Refuge for kayaks or canoes. For hunters, this is an area sought after by those interested in ducks, geese, deer, turkey and others. For golfers, there is one nearby golf course and plenty of varied and highly-rated local restaurants.

If you’d rather just stay on the property in a quiet, secluded natural arena, you can enjoy boating, kayaking, fishing, crabbing (right from the pier), swimming, walking, biking, sitting with your favorite folks, or holding down the hammock with a good book. In cool or rainy weather, there are games, books, internet and TV. The house is designed for entertaining, with a brand new kitchen equipped with plenty of cooking paraphernalia, and the living space is conducive to easy conversation and lots of comfortable seating.

There are two different areas for dining, inside or under the pergola, all in view of the Brooks Creek/Choptank vista. It is perfect for a family to get reacquainted or a romantic getaway. We provide the ambiance, you provide the fun!

Living room with 42' flat screen TV, dining room, bathroom and kitchen, two with queen beds and a third with a full size bed, and a loft with two twin-sized beds. separate 15 x 12 pergola with slate flooring, adirondacks, fireplace and dining seating for four. The pier can handle motorboats, canoes, or rowboats. Four kayaks are available. Linens and paperware provided along with all kitchen equipment and dining ware.

Excellent property and host! It was great bringing our small dog. Kayaking and paddle boarding free on-site. Everything you need for water sports and for living like your home away from home included. Thoughtful and caring host.

I cannot give this property enough stars! They had absolutely everything a family could need to have the most relaxing yet activity-filled stay. The accomodations were spotless, the beds super comfortable, central air kept the place nice and cool, and the kitchen and bathroom were stocked with all we could need. We enjoyed the kayaks, paddle boards, pedal boat, bicycles, fishing, crabbing, yard games, and fire pit. The hosts are super nice people who make you feel totally at home. Though we do not have little kids, the place would be great for them as well, with a small pool, play house, and all sorts of toys. The bay water was warm and fairly shallow but not super mucky like some inlets can be. Cannot wait to go back next year!!!

Very awesome stay. Having rob on-site was a huge blessing- great information, guidance, and a very nice boat trip to a sandbar. They have all the water toys you can imagine- from water shoes to boats. Property and home are very well cared for.

Rob and Clarissa did an amazing job making their loft apartment cozy, relaxing, and spacious. There's plenty of room for a whole family to eat, entertain and sleep in different rooms. And then their outdoor space is amazing! Huge yard, playground for the kids, and welcoming to our four-legged family members. Their property is right on the water, with a dock for boats and another for kayaks and paddle boat. My kids absolutely loved it and spent every second outside on their dock, fishing or in the water. We can't wait to come back for our next vacation! Thank you so much!!

Rob and Clarissa's property was absolutely perfect for a weekend getaway. Our hosts were incredibly proactive about making our stay as comfortable as possible– Rob took us on a tour to show us around, all amenities were easily accessible, and everything was as-described in the listing. We all enjoyed kayaking, grilling, chilling, and lounging on the dock. We can't wait to come back again!

We stayed at the property this weekend while we were in town for a wedding, and just loved it! The hosts were the absolute sweetest, and their property is so special. It is very important to note that this is about 20 minutes outside of town, but the peacefulness and view make it extra worth it! They had so many cool features for the adults and the kids, and we had so much fun. Just wish we could have stayed longer to get out on the water!

My partner and I stayed here for eagleman 70.3. Rob and Clarissa were very responsive and welcoming. They made sure we had all of the info we needed beforehand and gave us a heads up that it’s a bit of a drive to a grocery store. They made us feel right at home. The property is beautiful and has everything you need for a relaxing getaway. The guesthouse was clean and well equipped. The views of the water from the deck and just inside were wonderful. The location is quiet but there’s plenty to do on the property or just a short drive into town. While we didn’t have a chance to enjoy all they have to offer, we couldn’t have asked for a better stay. We will surely be back!
