About this property

Tranquil, Fishing, Canoeing Paradise On The Gorgeous Severn River

Rustic, family, waterfront cottage, on a private, protected cove offers peace and quiet. This cottage has been in our family for almost 40 years providing a relaxing vacation escape for all. Wildlife abounds in this natural setting with almost daily sightings of loons, great blue herons, muskrats, woodpeckers, chipmunks and turtles. Endless hours can be spent exploring the cove by canoe or kayak. The protected cove offers a safe place for kids to try their hand at canoeing while within sight of home. There is a bunk house,or 'bunkie' about 40 feet from the main cottage where kids enjoy staying, allowing adults their own space in the evening hours.

A great place for a family vacation.
The cottage itself is quite nice, actually, and if you're paying attention, you'll notice that a lot of the paintings were painted by the owner (or a family member) and many are recognizable as views of the property itself. That was a fun discovery. The boathouse was in great shape and it made access to the rowboat and the canoe very easy. One of the rowboat oars was loose and we couldn't find a single tool to fix it so we only took the rowboat out once. We enjoyed the dart board on the porch, and fishing off the dock was fun, too. All in all, a very good experience. 10/10 would rent this one again. Our only complaint is that the barbecue tank was empty. We would've filled it ourselves if it hadn't been so big!

8/10 Good

Peaceful tucked away location
Very nice setting. Cottage is old school with retro furnishings. Not suitable for swimming, in a very weedy bay. Great fishing. Could use some updating, but overall happy with the experience there!

About the host

Hosted by Steve Horn

Host profile image
My two siblings and I grew up in Ohio. Our family purchased the cottage in the early 70's when our mother was a teacher, and we spent the summers of our youth at the cottage, swimming, fishing and boating.

Why they chose this property

We spent our summers at the cottage, but now that we live so far away, we are unable to visit as often as we'd like. It holds such cherished memories that we can't bear to sell the place, so have decided to rent it during the weeks that it would otherwise go unused.

What makes this property unique

The Severn River offers the unique opportunity to endlessly explore the river in either direction, while maintaining the overall look and feel of a lake. When you hear the word 'river' many people immediately assume there is a strong current and moving water. There of course is a current but it is only detectable in the few, narrow areas of the river. At our location the river is about a quarter mile wide with no noticeable current. Our cottage is on a protected cove which offers cover from the wind and waves of more open water locations.
