Property was super clean, very comfortable. Appreciated the extra touches ... we enjoyed the coffee, tea and wine. Always nice to have kleenex provided. Comfy beds and bedding. Nice towels. Truly all the comforts of home. Pete is a great host ... answered any questions quickly and when we had issues with the internet he made sure it was fixed quickly. Lovely, private location as well. Perfect base to enjoy all the area has to offer.
The host was very welcoming and helpful. Home was comfortable and quiet. Homeowner very responsive to our questions and needs. It was a peaceful retreat
Amazing location! Host is equally amazing and the home was perfect with everything we needed for a long relaxing weekend. Views are stunning and home was very comfortable.
The house was fully equipped, decorated nicely, and very clean and welcoming for us. It worked perfectly for our holiday plans! The waterfront view was amazing! It’s close to shopping and the Solomon’s Island area. Peter is a great host and we’re looking forward to returning!
ALWAYS ALWAYS A Beautiful Getaway. Literally any and everything you could possibly need & ask for, super relaxed vibe, great fishing & crabbing, and homeowners are as pleasant as they come. If you haven’t been to this Lusby get away, book ASAP! Have FUN!!
We went here just for a little weekend getaway for my boyfriend, his brother, his brother’s girlfriend and their kids. We had the absolute best time, such a nice getaway even if it was only for 3 days. The view of the bay from the house is gorgeous and everything was perfect. I will be recommending this stay to anyone I can!
Property is better in person…
Pete was a great host, no issues with check in..
House was spotless, well stocked and ready for us.. Everything is there for you to have a great time… Highly recommend
My stay was beautiful, excellent, peaceful, very relaxing. My views from the house was beautiful, the sounds of the waves of the water was much needed to detox from everyday life. We fished & crabbed took in the scenery. Our host is/was great wonderful timely response to all my questions.
We had a wonderful stay and loved the location. A highlight was catching 2 crabs the last day and eating them for breakfast. Thanks for providing everything that we needed!
Clean and nice location. Worked perfectly for our visit to the area to spend time with our daughter, son-in-law, and two perfect grandsons. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home and location.
We stayed here for 4 days. The place was as lovely as the pictures. Decor was tasteful. The host was very responsive before our stay. Would stay here again.
The Waterfront Retreat on the Patuxent River is better than advertised. Our whole family stayed -- everyone loved it! It was clean, comfortable, with everything needed to stay comfortably, sleep, eat, relax and use as a home base for exploring. Solomons Island and the surrounding area was filled with lots of fun things to do (restaurant's, museums, history, boating, walking, etc.).
The house was awesome, the view couldn’t have been better. Loved everything about it, quiet and peaceful and it is on a dead end short road with wildlife in the yard in the morning, deer, fox, blue heron, bald eagle, geese and ducks, just fabulous. Will definitely be going back soon I hope.
Absolutely wonderful home in a really beautiful area. The home has everything you need to feel like it’s your own home away from home! We hope to come back!

Why they chose this property
I bought this property in 1985 and built the current house on it in 1990 for myself and my family. We so enjoyed the activities, sights and sounds of the location but outgrew the house. We still live nearby. It is definitely a soothing and stress free location that gives you modern amenities and still allows you to experience nature at its best. The location also has some of the best walking and biking neighborhoods and roads without the hustle and bustle.
What makes this property unique
Whether its just sitting on the deck with your favorite beverage, or fishing and crabbing off the bulkhead, you will enjoy the experience to the fullest without leaving. The area also has a wealth of sightseeing, eating, hiking and touring.
