Quiet Cottage
This cottage is very lovely. Clean and so quiet. The setting is beautiful. Host provides so many things. I just had to bring my clothes, makeup and hairbrush. She provided all the rest. This is my 3rd time back. I will go back again. Host was very responsive when an issue came up. Thank you for such a lovely experience.

Overnight for Wedding
This was a lovely property with plenty of amenities for a longer stay. It was clean and had plenty of room for our party. We had a last minute addition and it worked out perfectly. Only wish the listing didn't say Owings in the address because we thought we were closer to the event we were attending. The extra 10 min. didn't hurt. I would recommend this quiet, pretty location.

Cute little cottage
while renovating our home, my husband and I had to
leave while repairs were being made.
The cottage was very clean and neat and stocked
well with toiletries. The location was very easy to
find. There was a very nice swimming pool
on the property and play area for small kids.
I highly recommend this property for an enjoyable
vacation.

New grandson getaway
Monday to Monday, last week of April 2024. Commuted to Waldorf daily to visit family. Loved the peace and quiet. Loved it was close enough to Harris Teeter and other major stores to get everything I personally needed easily. Beautiful view of the river! Diana was friendly, helpful but never intrusive. Great that the owners are on property. Convenient, easy highway drives to nearby sites but secluded enough to feel very safe and private.

Our stay was beautiful. Small house but perfect for our overnight stay. Immaculately clean. Though we did not need anything during our stay, the home is on owner’s property and she was very nice in our brief interaction. Check out procedure was easy. Would absolutely book again.

VRBO REPRESENTATIVE PROVIDED TERRIBLE SERVICE. However, the property and host exceeded expectations.
The property is breathtakingly beautiful, no words or photos can do it justice. The home had many special touches to make it very comfortable. The pool, the gardens, and the views of the water, created an ambiance I’ll never forget.
