Map & Owner's Profile
March Madness ! Waterfront Property Gone Wild-See Below
Year Purchased: 1991
Why the Owner Chose Annapolis
There are a thousand tributaries to the Cheasapeake Bay, this one little slice of heaven was little known, but has gained some notarity several years back, when LL Bean chose it as one of its only 2 spots for their popular Discovery kayak learning trips. Local Annapolis Author Tom Stoner's book " Open Spaces, Sacred Places" features our exact location on page 23 of his book. Across the creek is the home of The Chesapeake Bay Foundation, who purchased the acreage , expressly to leave as a nature preserve. The only thing you will see , as you wiling away the hours , are very grateful critters, and some boaters.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage
The expansive windows in every room, face east, so you enjoy the sunrise as well as the beauty of the moon on the creek , from the master suite as well as other perfect spots. One of the greatest attributes of this property is its beauty and peaceful, quiet surroundngs.
Owner's Map of Annapolis
I have lived on this property for 20 years. This home along with its beautiful perennial gardens,and creek are magical, and should be shared. I now devote all my time and attention to this lovely home. One of my passions is as a pastry chef, no longer full time, but still bake ,when not preparing for house guests.
I enjoy the whole process of preparing for the arrival of a new family, ensuring that the home exceeds all expectations. Along with my assistant, always by my side companion "Cady" my 12 and 1/2 year old golden retriever-

Beautiful house with gorgeous backyard and lake view

Review Submitted: 01/05/12
We just finished an exceptional New Years long weekend in Debbie's Annapolis house. The group was 3 couples with our toddle boys. We had plenty of room in the house for everyone to have their own wing (the house essentially has 3 wings) and the open main area was perfect for socializing while cooking, playing, etc. The views from the house are spectacular. It is right on the water. The backyard is absolutely gorgeous. Debbie was really helpful and we can't wait to get back!!!

This is an amazing property. The house is extremely well furnished, with everything imaginable for preparing meals in the large kitchen. The views from the three separate decks are indescribable, and it was clear from the moment we arrived that the owner had gone out of her way to make her guests comfortable. The house provides both space to gather as a group and plenty of private space as well, and is perfect for family vacations. Thanks, Debbie! We'll definitely be back.
Owner response:You are so welcome, Lori, it was an extreme pleasure meeting all of you , and little Noah, and I look forward to seeing you again next year. Debbie

We stayed at the house for a weekend in dec to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and a family Christmas party for my husbands family. My husband is one of ten children and this was a in door party of 50-55 people. It ended up 30-35 ,But I can,t say enough about how great the owner Debbie was the house was beautiful. All of our children and their children stayed at the house watching the Bald Eagles from the master bedroom in the morning then from the kitchen then from the pier we loved it. One of our sons works at Lowes Hotel in Annapolis and the older children went downtown and caught a cab back 4 miles door to door.We will be back for sure Love This House and the Piano! Thanks again for sharing your beautiful home Debbie can,t wait to see you again!!!!!!

We had 16 girls for the weekend at this gorgeous home for a bachelorette weekend, and we all loved it! The house was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. The girls were commenting all weekend about how great the house was. We went swimming off the dock and spent many hours chatting out on the deck overlooking the water. The kitchen is well-stocked and was great for cooking dinner in one night. Debbie was more than hospitable and we are very grateful to her!

Family Reunion

Review Submitted: 08/10/10
Our family held a reuntion in late July. The house was wonderful! Each family was able to have their own bathroom and the downstairs section was perfect for a group of teenagers. The kitchen was just the right size for a great big family cooking experience for a German meal. The owner Debbie could not have been more kind. Would highly recommend this house to families considering a reunion. We were able to travel into Annaoplis and enjoy the sites and shops. We would consider going again for future reunions.

We had a wonderful experience in this gorgeous property for a large gathering of people ranging from babies to grandparents. The beautifully manicured backyard was a perfect setting for relaxation and the kids (and adults) had a blast fishing and crabbing off the dock. A short drive into town, and plenty of space for indoor and outdoor dining and play, this is a highly recommended site for a nice family vacation in this area.

Absolutely Perfect!

My husband and I were looking for a house to rent over our wedding weekend, and needless to say, after visiting this house, we actually chose our wedding date around when the house was available! The house was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! Debbie was amazing to work with, and she even gave me advice on certain vendors to use for the wedding. All I can say is that when each one of our guests arrived, they were all amazed at how gorgeous it was. It is decorated so beautifully, and she keeps such good care of the gardens! Everything was so picturesque that we even had the photographer arrive early and begin taking wedding party photos in the back yard on the dock, in the garden, and along the enormous decks. This was by far one of my favorite parts of the entire wedding weekend. Renting this place is an absolute MUST!

Review Submitted: 07/09/10
Several families and friends gathered at this home for our daughter's wedding. The home owner has impeccable taste and has filled this home with fantastic linens, artwork, and impressive furnishings. It was the perfect combination of space, allowing for the married couples to have private apartments, scenic views ~ from every window on the main and lower level, gathering spots for groups or all of us at one time, and fully equipped kitchen for whipping up meals. The decks and outdoor space should not be overlooked, as they are equally inviting and offer an opportunity to socialize in a wonderful setting provided by a grill, many tables and chairs, and bring your cameras, this home has beautiful gardens. The home owner has provided items beyond your expectations. For example, in the kitchen, you'll find spices and seasonings, as well as napkins and paper towels. There are thoughtful items included for your use outdoors such as bug spray and binoculars. The owner's graciousness extended beyond the contract and genuinely cared about our needs during the stay. We wholeheartedly would recommend this home with our utmost conviction.
