Great house in the heart of downtown Annapolis!Walk to everything! Well kept with lots of fun and historic USNA decor. Looking forward to staying again for future visits to our Mid. No negatives but one suggestion would be to clean up & spruce up the back patio and yard for the seasons when it would be useful. Once again, GREAT HOUSE!

Historic home full of character

Great walkability to everything. Garage is quick walk to park. Owner was very flexible. Lots of fun memorabilia. Kitchen is well stocked. Plenty of towels. The only thing I’d suggest is to change some lightbulbs. 2 of 3 master bedroom lights did not work. Also couldn’t find any extra blankets where the binder/labels said they would be located.

Great Family House

We had a wonderful Navy football weekend stay in Annapolis at this property. We had 2 families (one with 2 kids and another with 3 kids) and we all were very comfortable. The location can’t be beat walking distance to Main Street, The Yard, and Navy Marine Corps Stadium. Parking garages nearby were also convenient.

Beautiful accommodations within walking distance to downtown

Great place for a big family or group to stay. Very close to downtown Annapolis. Everything is labelled for finding items, light switches etc. Check in and check out went off without a hitch. Communication was great, host was available when needed and not at all intrusive (as we have seen before). Hope to stay here again.

Beautiful stay in historic Annapolis!

We truly loved our long weekend in this historic house in the heart of Annapolis. Very homey and clean with everything we needed. Plenty of towels, well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and amazing character. We enjoyed the fire pit in the back yard, played cards at the kitchen table, ate at some amazing restaurants in walking distance, shopped, and watched boats coming in and out. We will be back!

Beautiful House in a Perfect Location

This gorgeous and historic home was perfect for a girls trip. The bedrooms were spacious and there were multiple gathering spaces for everyone to relax together. The home is steps from Main Street with a convenient parking garage one block away. The host went above and beyond to help, even helping to return an item that I left behind after our stay. 10/10 spot for your Annapolis getaway!

Location Changed - All is well

We ended up at a home on Market Street around the corner from our original location. The home was great! It was clean, very cool (excessive heat that weekend) and nicely stocked with plenty of glasses, plates, etc. We were very busy that weekend but the family room accommodated the 6 of us fine and the dining room table captured all of our stuff as we came and went. Great house!!

Everything you could want & more!

There’s a reason this house has perfect reviews - I stayed here with my family for Christmas. It was absolutely lovely! Communication with the owner was super easy and they were very responsive! Instructions were laid out for my family via chat prior to our stay along with a binder of helpful info in the home when we arrived. The location was unbeatable - prime spot, close to everything! The house itself had a ton of character, was cozy, clean, and comfortable! My family didn’t want to leave and had an amazing stay overall. Can’t recommend this home in Annapolis enough!
