About this house rental
Wonderful large family home on Harris Creek.
With 6 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms (including master bedroom suite), this house easily sleeps 12. Broad views of the water, 250 foot pier, in ground pool and large 2.5 acre expanse of lawn make this home an amazing retreat.
Hang out by the pool, explore with the 4 complimentary kayaks, or crab and fish in the tranquil Waterhole Cove where birds and other wildlife abound. You can also bring your power/sail boat and dock it at the pier, which has full electric and water at the end as well as a fish-cleaning table with water at the shoreline. You won't run out of things to do.
Located just 10 minutes between St. Michael's and Tilghman Island, off-site activities also abound. There are great restaurants nearby, including the Lowe's Wharf restaurant and bar within walking distance - a great place to go for dinner or a drink and watch the sun set over the bay.
The living room and most bedrooms have large flatscreen TVs with cable, streaming video, blu-ray dvd players, etc., and high-speed WiFi throughout the house. Optional: Sheets and Towels provided for an additional $300.
The pool is open from Memorial Day through Labor Day, with some flexibility for 2-3 weeks on either end. Also, please note the pool is not heated.

We were a group of 8, ages 4-77 — home accommodated us all with wonderful gathering areas, gorgeous views, plenty to do. We enjoyed crabbing, swimming, sitting, marshmallow roasting, meals, kayaking, games and much more — house is well equipped, comfortable, easy. Jennifer was patient in responding to early questions. Altogether, a great place for an extended family gathering.

What an incredible property! Our party of 12 (5 adults, 4 teens, 3 kids) enjoyed the pool, kayaks, fire pit, TVs, lawn, lake, and crabbing very much! Everything is clearly labeled and user-friendly, plenty of dishes and cooking supplies. We woke early enough for sunrise one morning, and it was breath-taking. Thank you to Jennifer and your husband for hosting such a beautiful place! Highly recommended.

House was as stated— large to have spaces for everyone. We crabbed off the dock, took the canoes out, had S’mores at the fire, had card games on the big dining table and yummy meals too.. close to shopping and grocery store. Kitchen was labeled and had everything to cook & serve big meals.
We had a great, relaxing time. Thank you Jennifer for the use of your home!

Wow, what an intelligently planned and beautifully maintained property. Pretty much everything you need is there, logically placed and clearly labeled. So many activities for kids that they didn't even notice until the last day that we'd "forgotten" the iPads.... There was really no need to go anywhere but the grocery store. Very friendly and responsive owners. A real gem.

Jennifer,
We had a great time at the house with family and the grand kids, swimming and crabbing, plenty of crabbing.
We even got to watch the baby ospreys learn to fly, the house, is in a great secluded location.
Thanks for hosting us! We hope to return next year.

Even nicer and larger than the pictures portray. Multi-level living with multiple family rooms was ideal for our family with three sons and their wives and children. The outside area with pool, fire pit with Smoors and dock also meant that not much time was spent in the house.
The only challenge we had was the washer machine started to leak in the middle of our stay and within 24 hours didn't work at all. I contacted the owner who not only immediately sent over a repair person but upon hearing of the issues immediately replaced the washer with a brand new state of the art washer, all within 24 hours.
I also had several other questions which I texted to Jennifer and all were immediately and thoughtfully answered.
I travel a lot and this service was far above any I had experienced before. I could not recommend this location or these owners more highly. If there were 10 stars available they would earn all 10.

The house and it’s property is so good it’s very hard to leave even though the surrounding communities in Sherwood and St Michael’s offered a lot for our group of adults and young children to explore. The details for guests including labeled light switches and kitchen cabinets goes to show you how well guests are taken care of at this house. A+ propert without a doubt

Jennifer's house was just as described, if not better. The weather was rainy and cold the weekend we were there but we still had a great time. The dock, pool and huge yard provided plenty of activities for us all.

Love, love, love this house! It was the perfect house for 8 ladies for a weekend golf trip. We enjoyed the fire pit and kayaks, and it was so much cozier than a hotel room. The view was amazing! Highly recommended!

As my children and grandchildren are getting older it becomes more difficult for all of us to get together for vacation like we have done in the past. This was a year wear everyone was available so we decided to get a nice place for the 12 of us. I stayed at St Michaels a few years ago so starting looking in that area vs the Jersey shore or the Poconos. I came across this place (forget what I googled). It looked good but not enough pictures on the site to make us feel totally comfortable. I contacted Jenn (owner) and she quickly sent me photos of just about every room in the house. We were totally sold on it. Our expectations were greatly exceeded as soon as we arrived. We had our own resort on 2 acres of freshly mowed grass. The house was in immaculate condition, very clean and well maintained. The pool, bay (four kayaks) plus a small fishing boat and kayak we brought was awesome. The fire pit with adirondack chairs around it made for fun evenings, roasting marshmallows and having some "beverages of our choice" :). We did go into St Michaels (about 15 minute drive) a few times for dinner, watch the US in the world cup at an Irish pub, and paddleboarding which was all very nice but quite honestly we were very content just staying at the house and enjoying our little resort with all its ammentities. I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in having a great place to do whatever you want - swim, fish, kayak, just relax and read, etc. etc. etc. The owners were great to work with and hopefully we will be able to get our family together for next year. Our best family vacation ...... ever!!!!

Took my parents and 3 sons to the this property for a nearby wedding. The house was exactly what we were looking for. Phenomenal views, nice pool, dock, enclosed porch, peace and serenity. We had smores over the firepit watching the day end. The owners were very easy to work with and we're all looking forward to a return visit. Thanks again!

The pictures barely do the house justice...from the moment we walked in we knew we made a great decision to stay here. Very well kept, extremely clean...and the owner was very easy to deal with. .
We were able to dock our boat to the deepwater pier at the house, so plenty of time spent fishing, but the pool was probably our favorite part. It directly overlooks the water and is very nice.
We had numerous family members stop by during our stay, and had plenty of room for cookouts, etc. Each of the six bedrooms (including those not shown in the pictures on this website) is very nice! Also, the enclosed porch also allows you to enjoy the scenery without having to worry about the weather or bugs.
If you are looking for some R&R in a quiet, picturesque setting..this is the place.
