It feels like home when we get to the Cottage. We feel the outside world instantly melt away. Lori and her family go out of their way to make sure that their guests have everything that they need so that the vacationing can commence right away. This was our fourth stay at the Cottage but the first at this time of year. We dream about the view from the River room between visits. There were ospreys all over this time and a resident pair was repairing their nest that is right next to the dock. This was new to us because the ospreys are usually gone when we come in the Fall when multiple eagles move into the area. We fished and crabbed most days and fished a few nights. The dock is lighted with lights pointing at the water for night fishing. There were dragonflies around during the day and lightning bugs at night. We also saw dolphins and a loggerhead turtle right off the dock. Nature abounds here. At night, we fell right asleep in the comfy master bed. It is just the two of us Seniors and we enjoyed watching the sunrise and sunset almost every day and evening. This is such a special place and Lori and her family are very generous to share their home. We are already counting down to our next visit in a few months. What are you waiting for? This VRBO does not disappoint!

We had another great vacation at the Cottage. There have been some great changes since last year. There is a new very comfy couch in the living room. There is a new TV in the master bedroom and the internet is much better than previous visits. There is also a new washer/dryer. There are also changes that are not visible like the new plumbing throughout the home. Lori and Dave are constantly improving the property and obviously strive to give their guests the best possible experience. It is so peaceful here. The Rivah room is such a magical place to watch the eagles, blue herons, and bluebirds as well as the crabbers, sailboats, sunrises, the stars, and the Potomac. Tropical Storm Ophelia came and lingered for several days during our stay. The dock at the Cottage stood strong and undamaged because Lori and Dave had their dock redone and raised a few years ago. The wind howled and it rained a lot but we were snug, warm, and happy in our nest. The crabbing and fishing this year were really great. We caught puppy drum, rockfish, sea trout, croakers, spot, and lots of crabs with the 2 provided traps. Lori is a great communicator and we kept in touch during our stay. Thank you so much for our special welcome and for sharing your home with us. This is truly our happy place to relax and get away from it all.

I really enjoyed this vacation. We caught over a bushel of crabs (keepers) across the week. The fishing was pretty good. We caught a little of everything. Unfortunately there was a decent amount of sting rays, but it was fun to reel them in too. On our last full day we found a very friendly and experienced charter boat captain right down the street so we finished the week with a whooping 28 Spanish Mackerel (36 inches was the largest) and 1 blue fish. We ran into some plumbing issues during our stay but Lori promptly addressed it. The sun room was the highlight of the entire house. When we weren’t on the pier, we were relaxing there enjoying the view. A friendly neighbor even brought us his surplus cucumbers and tomatoes from his garden. We’ll definitely be coming back.

My family spent a week fishing and crabbing at the Rivah house and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The view of the river is second to none and the dock provided us with enough activities to keep us all busy. We would definitely return given the opportunity
