About this house rental
***All New Mattresses installed March 2022***
THORNTON Estate, established in 1664, is a quintessential Eastern Shore estate. The magnificent manor house anchors the 325 acre preserved farm outside of Chestertown Maryland.
Lord Baltimore granted the original patent for Thornton from colonial lands he received from King Charles I of England in the early 17th century. Conveyed to Philip Hopkins in 1693 the estate is still owned by his direct descendants. The current manor house — built in 1815 — was fully renovated in 2008.

We had the best vacation in this historical beautiful home. Everyone in our family had awesome time. House was very comfortable and clean. Loved the pool area. I only wish they had more shaded area by the pool.
Property manager Mathew was very friendly and helpful in making sure that all our needs were met. Definitely recommend this home. Love to come back.

The Thornton Estate was above and beyond what my family was expecting. A historic home on an amazing piece of land. Dealing with the team that manages the house made the entire process a breeze. We would love to return in the future.

Our group had a great experience staying at Thornton. We had a large group in town for a wedding and it was the perfect place to spend time with friends. The house was gorgeous, the communication with the team was timely and efficient, and everything was clean and well-equipped. We’d definitely stay here again.

We loved this property! We visited with our large family (8 adults and 4 kids ages 3-6) for a long weekend and had a nice and relaxing stay. Very spacious inside, with lots of room to explore outside. Great kitchen, and tons of comfortable seating everywhere. We loved the pool too. Groceries and downtown Chestertown are just a short drive away. We would definitely recommend and return.

We had a family gathering which included several toddlers. All enjoyed the pool, the fire pit, walking the property and eating al fresco. The dormers in the bedroom above the kitchen make it a bit tricky for adults so be careful. Also, shower/bath water temperatures should be warmer. Nonetheless, we leave the property with huge smiles on our faces and hope to return in 2023.

Eastern Shore idyll
Our family gets together every summer for a week of lengthy meals, games, and time together. We haven't been able to do that since the summer of 2019. This was a lovely place. All of us had a marvelous time. Thank you!

Amazing Girls Weekend
The house, property, and amenities were better than expected! My group and I were amazed by the property and loved that the house has such interesting history. The marketing manager, Sarah, was super helpful and quick to respond to my messages. I met the groundskeeper upon arriving and he was helpful as well. Perfect for our Girls Weekend but I would also recommend staying at Thornton Estate for a family staycation. It's great for all ages!

Our stay here was perfect! The check in process was easy and the house was beautiful. I felt privileged to stay in the owners’ family estate.
We were in the area for a family wedding so it was a perfect place to stay with my daughters and their families. We spent so many hours in the swimming pool. Everyone loved their bedroom and bathroom accommodations. We had a great time playing games in the family room or sitting on the screened in porch. It was very clean and lots of rooms to spread out in when you’re traveling with a group.

We had an absolute memorable stay at Thornton. The estate has a rich history and every room has a distinct, charming character. Could easily spend the entire afternoon in the Library, playing games with the family. And yet the best part, is that there are so many wonderful spaces to explore and enjoy outdoors. Our family enjoyed walking down the long path to the creek and pond, and we made use of the pool every morning, afternoon and evening. We really enjoyed watching sunrises and sunsets from the outdoor patio, and looking up at the stars from the garden at night. Oh, and the staff was very friendly and responsive. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a private, adventurous escape with your family. My family and I will certainly be back!

Our extended family and friends gathered at Thornton Estate to celebrate being together after 15 months of isolation from the pandemic. Our ages ran from 4 months to 95 years. We had a truly wonderful time. Many thanks to Phil for his responsiveness, Sarah for care and Matt for being there whenever we needed him.
We can’t wait to return to paradise!
