Cozy home with fenced in yard-Dog Friendly . 2 block walk to historic downtown!
My husband and I stumbled upon this cozy home at the mouth of the Susquehanna River and the top of the Chesapeake Bay in historic Havre de Grace. Only a few miles to I-95 for easy access to Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington D.C. or New York City. The Great Wolfs Lodge and Perryville Hollywood Casino are 10 minutes away. This is a small single family two- story home built in 1880. A dog door opening leads to a fenced in back yard. (There is a non- refundable $200 Pet fee). The large porch is one step into the home. A combo lock box is between the storm door for easy entrance. Code will be supplied a few days before stay. Parking is free, but parking can sometimes be difficult, as there are so many visitors to the town. Handicapped parking is available across the street. The Queen size bedroom and dressing room are on the second floor. The home was built in 1880 so these stairs are narrow. As you walk in the front door, a small couch/bed to the right side has a window air conditioner. The main room has a baby grand piano which you are welcome to play. We have internet and wifi with a TV and an electric fireplace for chilly nights . The dining area and kitchen have microwave, coffee maker and dishwasher. There is a door leading to the large fenced in back yard with a large pet door. We welcome pets, there is a $200 Non- refundable pet fee( with references). Yes, the cats and dogs in the photos are real to let you know if you have allergies, this is not the place for you. Our pets are with us at our other home. The bath area is a newer shower with seat and a washing machine is available for use. Clothes can be air dried either on the line outside or the drying rack upstairs. There is a cot available for one extra guest. The upstairs bedroom has a window AC unit and a Queen size mattress. The closet and all dressers, nightstand drawers available to the guests in both bedrooms. Coffee, linens, towels, etc are supplied. Every weekend there seems to be a music, art or cultural festival. I have another home and are not able to take advantage of all the great events and happenings. Walk to restaurants, theater, the Opera House, Library, Post Office, Museums and the beautiful water. Go sailing, Kayaking, Paint, Hike the Lafayette Trail or enjoy Bombay's treats. Hollywood Casino and The Great Wolf Lodge is only a few miles away. Please note that the police department is only 1 1/2 blocks away and there are 5 fire departments in this town. Great for safety concerns, but sometimes the siren will go off. Also the train to DC runs right thru Havre die Grace. You will hear its whistle and horn. I try to accommodate everyone but this home is not suitable for more than 3 people with one car. Please let me know if you have any special requests and I will do my best. Suzanne

House could not be located any better. Was within walking distance of downtown. Very short drive to many different attractions for everyone in your party. Located in beautiful and friendly neighborhood. Was very comfortable and had all the amenities as if I was in my own home. Owner was amazing. She made me feel right at home. Available at any time if needed.I highly recommend this beautiful home if traveling/staying in area and in need of accommodations.

We enjoyed our stay. The house is on a quiet side street and within walking distance to all of the downtown attractions. The king size bed was comfortable and the kitchen was nicely equipped.
Suzanne is a wonderful host and the house is beautiful! Havre de Grace is a cute little town, but the piano sold me on the place. Would absolutely stay here again!

Suzanne was amazing and so was Havre de Grace. The town was very nice for walks and easily accessible. Great location and not far from Port Deposit which has some great food too! It was nice getting experience another part of the US in Suzanne’s house. Definitely a hidden gem.

I have two grown daughters, Alex, a geophysicist in Colorado and Kendra, getting her doctorate in biomedicine in Zurich. I have my degree in music and still play in various ensembles. I make my living selling cars. I enjoy cars, motorcycles, dogs, cats, music, food and life and most of all my daughters. I have a seasonal home -the "wheel house" 45 minutes away from Havre de Grace, where I stay from April to October. Havre de Grace is a beautiful walkable and historic town with so much to offer.
