This house is huge and has lots of different indoor and outdoor gathering spaces so the kids and adults in our group of three families didn’t have to be on top of each other in one living space the whole time. Big firepit area and huge lawn were great, and we enjoyed the kayaks and canoe. There’s a place to buy fresh crabs, oysters, and shrimp very close by, and the house has everything you need for a crab night. The owner was incredibly responsive and kind.

We had a lovely stay at The Blue Heron. We had a retreat scheduled with friends that we had to relocate last minute due to snow in western Maryland. We stumbled upon this listing, and the home was perfect for our needs. Plenty of beds, fully stocked kitchen, several rooms and couches for those who wanted to read, others to play games, and others to watch football playoffs on tv. The best part of the house was the dining room table that could seat up to 18 (?). It was nice to be able to not have to separate into different rooms for meals. We are so grateful we stumbled upon this home! I’m sure in the warmer months, it’s lovely to be outside on the water, which is right in the back yard.

We rented Anne’s home for a Thanksgiving gathering. We were a group of 14 adults and three children and it was incredibly spacious for everyone to feel comfortable and not on top of one another. The connected apartment was also perfect for those with little ones to manage nap time and bed times while the adults still had space to be a bit lively without disturbing them. The house was well stocked with all the essentials, which was of great importance for preparing Thanksgiving dinner and the additional kitchen was also helpful in that regard. The separate workstations in the main kitchen were great as well as it gave the kitchen a nice flow so that no one was in each others way. The family room is incredibly large with a lot of seating options for everyone to gather around for games, conversations or movie watching. We hope to return in the summer where we can utilize the outdoor space a bit more as there are kayaks for use, a grill, a fire pit and a swing set for the little ones. Highly recommend this property as well as Anne as a host because she was quick to respond to any concerns or messages we sent her way during the trip as well as in advance of our trip.

This house worked well for our group of ten. Everything was clean, and the great tables allowed us to share our meals together in comfort. The rooms over the garage allowed the kids some privacy. The kitchen was well equipped, and everything worked well. Our younger set enjoyed the kayaks and canoes in spite of the chilly weather.

Perfect home/location for our group of 15 adults to do the six pillars century bike ride. Clean and comfortable beddings to rest before our ride. Well equipped kitchen with large dinning tables to share meals before and after the ride. We couldn’t enjoy the beautiful outdoors day after our bike ride due to heavy rain…wished we could since the home has a gorgeous back yard and well-equipped with several kayaks and fire pit. Anne was so easy to connect with…everything absolutely EXCEEDED our expectations. Highly recommend for large families or group of friends…plenty of rooms for everyone!

We had a wonderful long weekend with family young and old. Our crew ranged in age from 80-10 years old and everyone had a blast. The house was spacious and we played games and spent time on the water in the kayaks and the canoe. We had crabs, jet skied and golfed in nearby Cambridge. This was really a great spot to spend time together!
