Very, Very Nice
Came down from SE PA (Lancaster County) to celebrate the 60th birthday for my wife with two other couples. House made a very nice weekend home for six people. Enjoyed the porch - sitting on the porch telling stores at night -- We had a wonderful day at Blackwater Wildlife Refuge. Saw several bald eagles and blue herons up close - amazing! Saw a large turtle stretched out warming itself on a rock in a waterway --head and legs fully extended for a long period of time. None in the group had ever seen anything like that before! The fall weather was fine -- warm and comfortable. We even stumbled upon a schooner show in Cambridge. Boarded several boats and enjoyed free folk music about the sean and the Chesapeake Bay. All in all it was a very nice weekend. Thanks for sharing the house!

Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2003
Why the Owner Chose Cambridge
This is a spectacularly beautiful area - unspoiled, serene and historic. Staying there is like pushing the reset button. It is situated on a long peninsula that juts out into the Chesapeake Bay and there is a picturesque creek across the street. I never didn't love the 10-mile drive from town, whatever the weather or season. Keep a keen eye for nature, which abounds - you'll always see something - wild turkeys, rabbits, deer, turtles, geese, ducks, crabs, eagles, osprey, and lots more.
The Unique Benefits at this House
This neighborhood is gorgeous 365 days a year - wake up early and have a cup if coffee on the front porch to witness the sun's glow through the morning mist that rises off the creek. Step outside at night at see a billion stars twinkling overhead, free of any competing city lights. Take a walk in the crisp fall and hear the geese which are settling into their winter rest right nearby. Be reminded by a friendly wave (and almost everyone does) that there are places where people are actually nice.

Bad Experience
Guest: Sid
(Bethesda, Maryland)
Date of Stay: 07/02/10
Review Submitted: 07/16/10
This was the worst rental, I have ever been to. The house shows all signs that it is 100 years old. Upon entry was greeted by a stink and found the garbage including discarded food in the kitchen trash can, there was a pile of dirty clothes on the drier and all the bed linens shabby. The master bedroom, guest bedroom and the kid bedroom share a common bathroom and there was a half inch hole in the door between the master bedroom and the bathroom. The kitchen had uneaten snacks by earlier visitors and the whole place was a complete mess. Called up the owner and said we are leaving and need a refund. The owner agreed will refund, but later sent a mail saying the cancellation policy is a 10 day notice so cannot refund. The owner feels returning of the damage deposity and cleaning charages for the unoccupied rental, itself over and above the agreement. All in all a nightmare of an experience and will not recommend this place even to my worst enemy.
Owner response:There was a problem with my housekeeper who did not show up in time and I addressed the problem immediately by having another housekeeper come right away and clean the house. I offered these people free rent for that evening and a free meal out while the house was cleaned plus a refund on the cleaning fee. Instead they chose to leave the area and then try to get out of the contract, expecting a full refund, which was not what our contract stipulates, unfortunately. These people were not reasonable and made no effort to work out a solution. I did refund their security deposit and the cleaning fee but the house was left empty on a holiday weekend. Not all guests behave nicely, nor does every housekeeper! This is part of running a business and I do my best to ensure a pleasant stay. By the way, now I have a wonderful and reliable housekeeper, Jackie, who lives 2 houses away.
