About this house rental
Bonfield Manor is located at the entrance of Oxford, a half-mile walk or bike ride to restaurants, shops and the Riverview Ave beach. The waterfront property offers a 12-acre park-like setting, fabulous views, and access to Boone Creek and the Choptank at its confluence into the Chesapeake Bay. Bonfield Manor and its plantation buildings were established in 1771-73. The original Georgian manor burnt down in 1927 and was replaced by an elegant lodge built on the original mound (and colonial basement kitchen).
With two master bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms on the ground floor, two queen size bedrooms and 2 bedrooms with 2 twin beds each on the second floor, and 3 additional shared bathrooms Bonfield Manor can accommodate up to12 people. There is an additional pull-out sofa in one of the twin bedrooms upstairs and a kids' bed that can be set up as additional beds upon demand. The 12-acre property with its shaded outdoor patio, swimming pool, large dock, and extensive grounds provides both privacy, time to relax and an extensive playground for young and old. Fishing, crabbing, canoeing, and swimming are at your fingertips as are games, TV, WI-Fi, piano, and books for indoor entertainment. You are at the entrance of Oxford with everything in walking distance, St Michaels a ferry trip away, and Easton a 15 minutes drive.

This was our second visit to Bonfield Manor. The home is beautifully maintained and has plenty of dishes, household supplies and games. We had fun canoeing, swimming, playing crochet and badminton. We had several cook outs. The caretaker on the property was perfect. There was no need to go off the premises for other activities. WIFI worked well.

Bonfield Manor is a beautiful, welcoming home as described in its listing and confirmed by the many 5 star reviews. We all agreed with everything already written. A few things we especially enjoyed included reading about the history of the estate and playing the piano which sounded great! We watched old home movies from the 1950s and '60s on the DVD player which was so nostalgic. We all loved playing "no strike out" softball on the spacious yard as well as hide n' seek outdoors. Our group did a geo cache on the provided bikes in Oxford followed by lunches at local restaurants. Did I mention the not to be missed Scottish Highland Creamery which is on Maryland's official Ice Cream Trail? Yum! The friendly and helpful caretaker was an added bonus. Every morning we would see the caretaker checking on the pool. She let us know when the pool would be serviced and when the lawn would be cut. It was nice getting to know her. As they say in my western Pa. hometown, "A good time was had by all." We thank the owner for opening her beautiful house to us for our annual family vacation.

This house was absolutely perfect for our family
The layout of the house, everyone had their own space and bedrooms were very comfortable. A beautiful library of books, which we used in the evening after kids were in bed.
The grounds and the pool, dock, kayaks, and every space was ideal. We will definitely return!

The house and property were absolutely beautiful! We enjoyed swimming in the pool, going out on the kayaks and paddle boards and bike riding into the quaint town of Oxford. We truly enjoyed our stay at Bonfield Manor and would love to come back again!

The house and grounds are wonderful. All the bedrooms were well appointed and very comfortable. The common spaces were very generous and very well appointed to make you feel right at home. The kitchen had everything we could have wanted and more. Pool, dock and yard were great for gathering and games - wish we could have stayed a month! Will definitely stay here again.

The house itself was great, but the yard, pool, and dock make this the perfect summer house.

This was the perfect place for our girls get away. The house and location were perfect. There is plenty to do at the house and close by. The ferry to St. Michaels is not far. I would highly recommend this property and plan on booking again in the future.

This is a great rental for a large family. The town is beautiful and quiet with marinas, a ferry, a 25 mile an hour speed limit so biking is easy and safe, great restaurants and one of the best ice cream places in all of Maryland. The property has so many activities — a huge yard with breath taking sunrises, games, bikes, canoes, a pool, BBQ grills, badminton…we had an amazing family reunion!

What a magnificent home. Fabulously appointed with thoughtful furnishings. Bedrooms and baths were perfect. The surroundings, pool, dock, boats, bikes are everything you could want. We would love to stay here again

We were a big family including 6 adults and 4 children. The house was perfect for our needs having kayaks and paddleboats, games, inground pool, and an extensive library of all kinds of books to read. The large dining room and tables with chairs near the pool made it easy to enjoy family meals. My only fault with the house is that the bathrooms are a little small.We really enjoyed Oxford and spending time in Easton, as well.

We had a great family vacation at Bonfield Manor!! Property was immaculate and the grounds were beautiful. Surrounding area was clean and quiet. Would def recommend the Scottish Creamery for an ice cream treat! The owner Marianne and the caretaker Betty were both very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. For such a beautiful property, it would be nice to have a heated pool, which would have allowed us to enjoy the pool much more. Certainly would recommend this property to others!

Ten people in my family stayed at the gorgeous Bonfield Manor to celebrate the college graduation of my two sons. The house was plenty big enough for all of us to be together or hang out in smaller groups. The kitchen is very well stocked and looks like it was recently remodeled. We really appreciated being to sit at the large dining room table and share meals together. We also enjoyed the kayaks and the amazing view.

10 of us spent a wonderful long weekend at the idyllic Bonfield Manor House. Gorgeous property with peaceful stunning views, an easy walk into Oxford and plenty to do at the house.
Marianne was so easy to work with and very responsive!
Highly recommend!!!

This is a wonderful waterfront house with plenty of bedrooms and full bathrooms for our group. The house was well appointed with ample toiletries, yard games, board games, bikes, canoes, and water safety equipment for children. The pool was great. Chris, the property manager, was not far and I felt was always available if needed. We never needed any assistance since the house was well organized with items thoughtfully placed in its logical positions. Our family had a wonderful stay and would come back again.

We loved our week in Oxford. We especially enjoyed the window enclosed veranda which has the most beautiful view of the property and water. The kitchen was well stocked with top of the line dishes and cookware. Any hours were spent in the pool.

Bonfield Manor is a beautiful, welcoming, and historical home. There is lots of space for relaxing and entertaining with one-of-a-kind views and unique privacy. It has all the activities you might want - warm pool with large shallow end for kids, kayaks and canoes, a great BBQ set up, walking trails and even a rich library. Oxford is close to Easton so it's easy to get groceries, and anything else you might need. Chris and Marianne were both very responsive and helpful. The only thing we missed was Netflix / Amazon, but even that we appreciated after a few days once we slowed down! We can't recommend Bonfield enough - it was great for our extended family.

3 generation vacation
This property is nothing short of AMAZING! Spotless! Our family, ages 16-79, enjoyed everything this property had offered; pool, dock with launching step for the kayaks and SUP, bicycles, library, piano, a well stocked kitchen and closeness to town. We definitely will be returning. Great communication with the owner, Marianne. Property manager, Chris, lives on the property (separate house) and was quick to respond when grill needed propane. History galore!
Thank you Marianne for sharing this gem!

Bonfield Manor was awesome! It is such a unique property with a great view and the charm of an older house that has been carefully maintained and curated over the years. The large lawn, pool, and dock kept us fully entertained all week. We look forward to visiting again soon.

This property is beautifully maintained with great attention to detail, including a well stocked kitchen, children’s nursery, a lovely swimming pool, and dock complete with a gorgeous view. It was the perfect spot for our family reunion which included 6 adults and 2 children. We would love to return again next year!

We had a wonderful weekend here with friends with young kids the same age as ours. The property truly has every activity you could imagine wanting to enjoy - including the fabulous pool, BBQ, boating, badminton, etc. with a wonderful lawn for games and lounging. It’s a quick bike ride into Oxford. The house was big and comfortable and when not in the pool we spent hours enjoying the sunroom overlooking the lawn and water. It has lots of charm with modern updates to the kitchens and bathrooms. Clearly many thoughtful touches into making sure everyone is comfortable and has what they need, down to the smallest details of easily accessible outlets and reading lights by each bed. Thanks for sharing your home!

This place has everything we needed for a family getaway. Both Marianne and Chris were very responsive to our needs. The kayaks and paddle boards were a hit all week. The furniture on the dock was our favorite area to hang out and relax. The enclosed back sitting room was great to relax if it was hot and still has open views of the water and pool. We were interested in crabbing off the dock so Chris went out and got us a trap and keeper pot, which made for a delicious feast for our last day.
