About this house rental

Nancy’s Touch, named after the amazing woman who developed and maintained the beautiful gardens, is situated in one of the best locations available on the northern end of the Chesapeake. From sunrise to sunset, the view of the juncture of the three rivers (the North East, Susquehanna, and Elk) that merge to create the Chesapeake Bay commands your attention. Soaring osprey, bald eagles, great blue heron and other waterfowl delight as well.

We ( 6 adults) came for a wedding nearby and chose Nancy's Touch for our home base. It is a wonderful, serene place with special, thoughtful touches throughout. We especially enjoyed the provided kayaks and paddle boards. Had we been within driving distance we would have also brought our dog- he would have been thrilled with the setting and the private dog park attached to the house. Truly a home away from home and we would love to return to return one day.

This was the second time that we had a family vacation at Nancy’s Touch. We really like the house and location. The view is great. It's a great place to relax & watch the wildlife(ospreys, Bald eagles, herons, etc) and do some paddling.

This place is amazing. They truly have everything you need -- just bring your clothes and food and you're good to go. We took my 90 year old mother for her birthday. She had a great time sitting in the river room watching the birds and boats go by. We enjoyed the kayaks, cooking on the grill and generally just sitting around watching the beautiful view. Oh ... And the sunsets!! The proximity to town is perfect. It has everything you need. The shops were cute and everybody was super nice. We loved the privacy of this place. It's literally the last house on the road before water. All the appliances and everything works the way it's supposed to. The gardens around this house are gorgeous and well-tended. We kept finding interesting hidden treasures in the gardens -- like fun bird houses and signs.

Everything was wonderful. Betsy and Barb were fantastic. The house and grounds are beautiful, the bay views from every room is wonderful to wake up to.. From the moment we entered the gate, the love and memories could be felt. We made memories of our own and say thank you. Barb thank you so much or all your texts and answers to my many questions. Barb it was a pleasure meeting you and appreciate your help. Would recommend this home to all and hoping to be back!

Just stayed here for an extended birthday weekend with family. Our first trip to this area and already looking forward to returning. What a beautiful property and charming cottage! Betsy was terrific to work with. Right on the water with beautiful sunset views, large fenced area and gated deck for our pups. Well stocked kitchen, and other amenities you’d need. Very close to the town of North East, Charlestown, and hiking at Elk Neck State Park. Quite a few bald eagle sightings!

The house is as exactly as seen in the pictures. Right on the water with beautiful views and even late in the fall the gardens were awesome. The house had everything we needed to have a family get together and we’re able to have my 90 year old parents come and enjoy it as well. The fenced yard for the dogs to play in was a very nice treat.

We had a very pleasant time at "Nancy's Touch." The accommodations were ideal for our gathering of two couples plus a visit from my daughter who lives in DC. We were so glad we could bring our pet Corgi, who enjoyed running around the large fenced-in area. The gardens with rose bushes, fruit trees, hydrangeas and clematis were also special. Our favorite moments included sitting either outside or in the "River Room" to watch the sun set.

Our visit to this home was short. We were only there three nights. We did not cook at all but the kitchen is very well supplied with anything you could possibly need. House is very comfortable and relaxing. There are a lot of antiques setting throughout the house. We had fun playing the pinball machine. The view of the river and bay are beautiful. Fantastic location. Would stay there again.

Nancy's Touch was just as wonderful on this trip as it has been in the past. The perfect spot to relax and catch up with friends. It could not have been better - and we were so pleased to find that the access to the water had been renovated.

The house was super clean had everything we needed and the views were gorgeous. My Husband fished every day my pup swam and we all used the paddle boards and kyacks. The location was very private my which was great but my boys wanted to go somewhere every day. We did enjoy the little town and drove about 20 min to Havre de Grace for some great retro game shopping. We had a wonderful stay!!

We have stayed at the home several times over the past few years. Owners are always cordial and respond immediately to any questions. House is always exceptionally clean and well maintained. Location is quiet and private, but just a short drive from shops and restaurants in North East, Chesapeake City, and Havre De Grace.

This trip was our second visit to this amazing property. The location is peaceful and relaxing, with the sound of the waves and numerous species of birds. The dogs had so much fun swimming every day, and the fenced area is so convenient. Thanks again for sharing this special place with us! We hope to come back again next year.

Nancy's Touch is simply wonderful. You feel like you've walked into a friend's home with your first steps. All of the personal touches are thoughful. It is kept super clean and the linens and towels provided are soft and plush. I can't say enough about our long weekend there. It took us a while to realize we hadn't heard a car drive by in 4 days! We will absolutely be back.

We had horrible weather and yet somehow enjoyed ourselves. Luckily I brought my 10 x 10 EZUP popup and that saved the deck, it fit perfectly. We also brought our dog loved the yard and made himself at home in minutes. We will be back!

We have been to this property in the spring, summer, and fall, and I can say with confidence that winter is my favorite time to travel there. The weather outside maybe frightful so we settle in front of the fire and catch-up with local family or a good book. You can watch the water and birds do their thing out of the wall to wall windows in comfort. If the weather is agreeable a nice walk down the lane leads to an open field frequently populated by a large herd of deer which are wonderful to observe. Our trip was absolutely delightful and I would highly recommend!!

Nancy’s Touch is such a pleasant place to relax that we try to return at least once a year. The home is lovely and always fully equipped with all amenities. The location is gorgeous, with spacious and beautifully landscaped grounds overlooking the North East River. We always bring our dog, and are grateful for the large fenced-in side yard for him to run and play.

The home is exactly what you would expect with a relaxing atmosphere and lovely grounds Tastefully decorated to match the history of the home it was large enough for family and room for the dog to roam in the fenced in yard The view is so beautiful and the quiet is only interrupted by the sounds of the water and the several different types of birds (eagles included ) Gardens allow for nature at its finest

Nancy's Touch is a beautiful and very private property that is close to other things to do. The owners Betsy and Barbara were very easy going and quick to respond. This house has a history, is very clean, well appointed, and every window has a beautiful view of the outdoors. There is a game room with a pinball machine, foosball, and a baseball game. The established well maintained gardens provide color and attract birds and butterflies. The water views are stunning, especially at sunset. Paddle boards, kayaks, and inflatables are provided for lots of water activity. We all enjoyed the water, including our dog. It was amazing to watch the interaction of the two bald eagles and the ospreys the week we stayed here. You can also find shopping and museums in the many small and friendly nearby towns. There are several good restaurants in North East and Havre de Grace. Book this place and you will not be disappointed! Our family agreed that this was the best vacation ever!
