Beautiful home and property. Was quite lovely. Quiet, peaceful, exceptionally welcoming. Host was wonderful. Enjoyed the views inside and out. We were boating swimming fishing and soaking up the sunshine. Enjoyed docking up at the bars&restaurants nearby. Would’ve loved to have stayed longer. Short but incredibly sweet :)

Three generations from PA, CO and VT all converged on the "Top of the Chesapeake" and had a lovely time. This is a stellar place for bird watching since it's between a creek and the upper Bay ("river".) Kayaks were a hit with 12 year olds and their parents. The owner's very reasonable rules and guidelines were so easy and he was available for help. Highly recommend this place!

Cannot say enough positive things about this beautiful home. Location on the water is scenic and relaxing. Floor plan is amazing for a large group upstairs and down. Home is outfitted with every necessity. Such a nice touch to have a lit Christmas tree awaiting us. Our adult children have already requested a redo here for next year. Grateful for wonderful memories made.

My husband and I come to the area at least once a year. This year our family stayed for the weekend and he and I spent 2 days alone. The house was amazing, campfire, cooking together, time spent in North East. Lots of good conversations and laughter! Our 2 year old grandson said "I had fun.... at river house!" We would stay at this house again. Thanks E.B. for making it a wonderful stay.

This house is great! Right on the water, quiet neighborhood, big house with lots of space! Beds were comfortable, beautiful views of the water even from inside the house. Host communicated everything you would ever need to know clearly in email ahead of check-in and printed at the house- very good communication! We would definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed our second stay at this beautiful house on the bay. We particularly enjoyed watching the bald eagles fishing in front of the house and seeing the sun and moon rising over the water. Lots of space for everyone to spread out and yet big enough tables for everyone to sit down as a family. Thank you for the memories.

It was a wonderful location with a gorgeous view. There was plenty of space for all 13 of us but the house does need some updating. The biggest addition to the property that I would recommend would be a dock. The host was very nice and accommodating.

My 3-generation family of 9 had a great time overall at this house. It is roomy, comfortable, and well-stocked with almost everything needed for an enjoyable stay. The owner’s helpful suggestion of a fresh crab meat source gave us the opportunity to have amazing homemade crab cakes for several dinners. The four under-10 kids in our family had lots of fun in the nicely-shallow water and little beach at the house, and we all enjoyed the quiet surroundings, beautiful views, and shorebirds. The only reason for the loss of a star in my opinion was the condition of the deck surface: we did not realize until my young grandson had gotten a painful splinter that the deck should not really be walked on barefoot.

This was our second time staying at this house, it’s great for our large group that gathers every year for a holiday vacation. Clean, spacious, with plenty of options to keep us busy. The view and access to the water make it even better.

Our family of 12 fit very easily in this beautiful home on the water! The teenagers loved swimming in the bay. The water is chest deep for about 50 yards into the bay. There is a lot of rocks close to the beach so if you have sensitive feet, water shoes are recommended. The house had a large table that sat all 12 of us around. We enjoyed local crab, oysters and shrimp. All of this was able to be cooked at the house. There were small issues with the house before our arrival and the owners went above and beyond to fix the issues so we wouldn't be uncomfortable for a moment! We enjoyed meeting them and would highly recommend this vacation spot!

We had a great time at E.B’s place. We were a party of 8 adults and 4 kids. House was large enough for all of us. House was clean, the beds were extremely comfortable, kitchen contains everything you need. But we did not spend the majority of our time inside. The outside space was incredible. Calm and serenity. The whole place made us feel at ease and relaxed. Great escape from our city lives. We ate all meals outdoors enjoying the views. We had one small issue first night, but E.B was quick to respond and accommodating. We all absolutely loved it.

Twelve of us gathered to celebrate and participate in a new venture which includes a concert series. The two level space gave our performers space to practice, which was great. We will be talking about this weekend for years to come. This was the second annual gathering but the first at this space. It is simply lovely. It is homey and clean. The views are breathtaking. And lots of parking. We met the owner on our last day. He was very gracious.We would definitely recommend this retreat!! That’s what it was to us.

We really enjoyed our stay at 84 Little River. The river is perfect and the inlet for the house is wonderful for floating and paddling. What a pleasure to just be able to show up and have linens ready for all the beds. The house is very well set up for multiple generations - the kids enjoyed spending time upstairs in “their” living room, but there was plenty of room for everyone to hang out together. Grandparents as well! Wading in the shallow river felt very safe and good for small kids. Please note: water shoes are definitely advised to enter the water but once you’re in the sandy bottom is great! Be sure to enjoy the natural environment - we spent hours watching the bald eagles, osprey and egrets that all live in the nearby trees. We also enjoyed dinner one night in Chesapeake City after the sunset cruise down the canal.
