Family and Pet-Friendly, Waterfront with Pier

There are two houses on the property. In June of 2015 we completed a full and total re-build of the carriage house and are back up and running on VRBO. Since retiring in 2014, Clarissa and I are living full time in the house and you may see us from time to time, but the carriage house 'cottage' has been designed to be a get-away that is comfortable, elegant, private, cozy and memory making. It is perfect for families, couples, and or friends just wanting to spend some time together. It is far enough away from civilization to enjoy the water, sky, trees and wildlife, without being entirely out of touch. You are in short driving distance to Cambridge, Easton, St. Michaels, and Salisbury, or Ocean City for lots of day-trip entertainment. For nature lovers, we are near the Blackwater Refuge for kayaks or canoes. For hunters, this is an area sought after by those interested in ducks, geese, deer, turkey and others. For golfers, there is one nearby golf course and plenty of varied and highly-rated local restaurants.

If you’d rather just stay on the property in a quiet, secluded natural arena, you can enjoy boating, kayaking, fishing, crabbing (right from the pier), swimming, walking, biking, sitting with your favorite folks, or holding down the hammock with a good book. In cool or rainy weather, there are games, books, internet and TV. The house is designed for entertaining, with a brand new kitchen equipped with plenty of cooking paraphernalia, and the living space is conducive to easy conversation and lots of comfortable seating.

There are two different areas for dining, inside or under the pergola, all in view of the Brooks Creek/Choptank vista. It is perfect for a family to get reacquainted or a romantic getaway. We provide the ambiance, you provide the fun!

Living room with 42' flat screen TV, dining room, bathroom and kitchen, two with queen beds and a third with a full size bed, and a loft with two twin-sized beds. separate 15 x 12 pergola with slate flooring, adirondacks, fireplace and dining seating for four. The pier can handle motorboats, canoes, or rowboats. Four kayaks are available. Linens and paperware provided along with all kitchen equipment and dining ware.

If you are looking for a bit of serenity and stillness, this is the place to be. We enjoyed this beautiful waterfront property so much, we skipped our plans to drive around and explore more of the area because we just wanted to soak in the water and the sky, with the moon on one end and the sunset on the other. Staring at the moon and its light reflecting off the water as we sat around the fire is a picture I hope to keep in my memory for a long time. This is the perfect place to clear the mind and the lungs Rob and Clarissa are very friendly, warm and they welcomed us with a tour of the property. The house is well-furnished, comfy, cozy, and very clean. Rob advised us in advance to make sure we had provisions when we arrived, as it is not a quick trip to town for a morning cup of joe. I can't wait to return.

Amazing property, Amazing Hosts
I cannot give this property enough stars! They had absolutely everything a family could need to have the most relaxing yet activity-filled stay. The accomodations were spotless, the beds super comfortable, central air kept the place nice and cool, and the kitchen and bathroom were stocked with all we could need. We enjoyed the kayaks, paddle boards, pedal boat, bicycles, fishing, crabbing, yard games, and fire pit. The hosts are super nice people who make you feel totally at home. Though we do not have little kids, the place would be great for them as well, with a small pool, play house, and all sorts of toys. The bay water was warm and fairly shallow but not super mucky like some inlets can be. Cannot wait to go back next year!!!

Relaxing getaway
Rob and Clarissa did an amazing job making their loft apartment cozy, relaxing, and spacious. There's plenty of room for a whole family to eat, entertain and sleep in different rooms. And then their outdoor space is amazing! Huge yard, playground for the kids, and welcoming to our four-legged family members. Their property is right on the water, with a dock for boats and another for kayaks and paddle boat. My kids absolutely loved it and spent every second outside on their dock, fishing or in the water. We can't wait to come back for our next vacation! Thank you so much!!

A wonderful long weekend getaway
Rob and Clarissa's property was absolutely perfect for a weekend getaway. Our hosts were incredibly proactive about making our stay as comfortable as possible– Rob took us on a tour to show us around, all amenities were easily accessible, and everything was as-described in the listing. We all enjoyed kayaking, grilling, chilling, and lounging on the dock. We can't wait to come back again!

Unique Stay With A Beautiful View!
We stayed at the property this weekend while we were in town for a wedding, and just loved it! The hosts were the absolute sweetest, and their property is so special. It is very important to note that this is about 20 minutes outside of town, but the peacefulness and view make it extra worth it! They had so many cool features for the adults and the kids, and we had so much fun. Just wish we could have stayed longer to get out on the water!

Wonderful Property and Hosts
My partner and I stayed here for eagleman 70.3. Rob and Clarissa were very responsive and welcoming. They made sure we had all of the info we needed beforehand and gave us a heads up that it’s a bit of a drive to a grocery store. They made us feel right at home. The property is beautiful and has everything you need for a relaxing getaway. The guesthouse was clean and well equipped. The views of the water from the deck and just inside were wonderful. The location is quiet but there’s plenty to do on the property or just a short drive into town. While we didn’t have a chance to enjoy all they have to offer, we couldn’t have asked for a better stay. We will surely be back!

Family Birthday Celebration
This was an excellent spot to enjoy a memorable weekend. The weather could not have been better and all 8 of us and 2 little dogs enjoyed all the property offerings. Only two minor critical reviews; In reviewing the property photos, I hadn't been aware that there were many steps to get up to the living space. That was difficult for my husband and limited his comings and goings. Had I known in advance, I may not have chosen this particular spot. Additionally, and absolutely nothing the hosts can control, the mosquitoes and ticks were quite problematic. Autumn there must be idyllic! We made some wonderful memories and thoroughly enjoyed this lovely spot in Cambridge. The hosts are such warm and accommodating people and loved having them show us around.

Beautiful sunsets
Rob, the owner, was friendly and offered good advice, such as getting groceries before checking in, as the house is about 20 minutes (one way) from Cambridge. The house was clean and well-equipped. Best part was being right on the water and the beautiful sunsets. Kayaks were out and ready but unfortunately it was a little too cold to use them. We enjoyed our weekend stay.

My In-laws met my spouse and I here for a few days to enjoy a little time together away from the city. It was rainy and cloudy most of the time, so only one person went kayaking for a little while. Regardless of the weather, it was a great time on this property. It's a cute little place renovated above the garage and it's so peaceful in the woods by the water. Rob is very responsive!

This is the perfect location for the weekend warrior to either get some serious adventure, training, or relaxation while enjoying the views and the comfort of this amazing cottage. Rob and Clarissa were fabulous hosts, from before checkin through the stay. We had a hiccup over the weekend- one of our dogs locked us out of the cottage, and the owners took care of us immediately. We'd happily stay there again!

Wonderful getaway!
Really loved the place! It was great for restorative relaxation, and also for gearing up for a biking weekend. The upstairs deck was just lovely to wile away some hours sipping coffee or wine and chatting. The kitchen was well-furnished and we could make breakfast and dinner with ease. Would definitely stay again. Minor note that the single beds in the loft won't accommodate tall folks and are probably best for kids (we had a few short guests in the group fortunately!)

Book this house!!!!
It will be hard to describe how wonderful this experience was with only words. I booked this house almost a year ago when I decided to come to Cambridge to become an ironman. Throughout the entire process, Rob was communicative and kind. As beautiful and comfortable as the property is, the true gems are he and his wife, Clarissa. They just have a way of making you feel like you've known them forever. We felt like part of the family. They welcomed us and spoke with us, but never in an overbearing way. I hugged them both when we left. This was a perfect home base for the race. Only about a 20 minute drive from the action with no traffic. Rob gave us a great dinner suggestion and even made the reservation for us. I traveled with my husband, Aunt and Uncle. I was the one who booked the property and was the contact. Unbeknownst to me, a few friends decided to travel down for a night to surprise me for the race. I'm also a host and was concerned about having additional guests that I hadn't informed him about. (We were not over the limit of the listed capacity of people, but did have 5 cars between us!) My husband explained the situation to Rob and he didn't blink an eye and told us it was fine. The home is clean, comfortable and has everything you need. I would not hesitate to book this place again and neither should you. The views are breathtaking. Highly recommend!

It felt like...
... staying with family. In an oasis for anyone who loves nature, peace, and being on the water. Rob and Clarissa's oasis exceeded our expectations. The grounds... the accommodations... the way Rob went above and beyond to make sure my kids felt welcome and had an absolute blast... Just WOW. The place was spotless, well-equipped, cheerful, and beautifully decorated. The beds hugged us to sleep. It was hard to pick a spot to sit and enjoy the sunset because the options were so plentiful. Every detail was attended to. We asked to stay an extra night, and Rob made it happen (ht to your cleaner!!). Our dogs came with us and romped, sniffed, and listened to the cacophony of birds (Download the Merlin App before you go!) while we wiled away hours on and in the water, hammock, by the campfire, etc. We had some great meals, both take-out and dine-in. The star being Carmella's. Just do it. Especially if you like cheesecake. You're welcome. We will be back. It doesn't get better than this.
