** Some dates to consider for fun filled family weeks in 2017 season
Chestertown Tea Party is every memorial day weekend, Rock fish tournaments usually early June and mid Sept
Sunday on 4th of July weekends is Waterman's day in Rock Hall, 7/3 Fireworks in Rock Hall, 7/4 Fireworks in Chestertown and parade in Rock Hall. All times are great with lots to do but, if you have never been to this part of the eastern shore then these are the best times.
Bettertown days @ Betterton Beach usually the fist weekend in Aug
The second weekend in Aug is pirate's weekend in Rock Hall another great time to be had. Lots of people dress up for the event. Sultana down rigging late Oct early Nov, early Oct is Rock Hall's Fallfest.
Every Sat. till noon in Chestertown's Fountain park, is the farmer's market. Lots of times on Fridays or Saturday evenings(in season) they have entertainment in Fountain park. On the first Friday of every month is 1st Friday in Chestertown(all year long). Many stores stay open and have snacks (wine & beer too) and some have entertainment all FREE. Lots of people walking around during these events. A great way to get to know the town.
Wilmer park has events as well. There are concerts, taste of the town to name a few. If you are planning a certain week and would like to know the events near town, just ask and I will do my best to list everything I know.
Feel free to surf the web as well. Most of the local towns have event calendars you can find online.
Special winter monthly rentals available (rate does not include utilities for stays exceeding 30 days.) Please be aware, that there are no fences. The neighbor has two labs that are very friendly and may come over to greet you. We have two small dogs as well that also like to say hi on occasion.
FYI, the school zone has camera 24/7, so watch your speed.
About Dianna or Russell
We were introduced to the area back in 2000 and fell in love. We reside in the property next door and felt that this was a good time to invest in a retirement plan that includes this property. We are so confident in the area, that we believe that when the market improves, so will our portfolio.
Dianna or Russell purchased this house in 2012
Why Dianna or Russell chose Eastern Shore
It has great potential. Every year we plan to make it better & better
What makes this house unique
This property has great views from every room in the house. I think most will enjoy the scenic environment. Just as I do right next door.

Quaint, beautiful waterfront
Dianna and Russell were very nice, the property was as described, and it was very nice to sit outside and enjoy the river. I would recommend and would stay again if I'm in the area.
Beautiful Views!
We stayed at this little house for a sibling reunion to remember our mom. It was an emotional trip as we don't see each other often and we hadn't been back to Chestertown since our grandparents passed away. They were long time residents of Chestertown, and we grew up spending summers and long weekends there.
We chose this place for it's location and similarities to our grandparents' location. The house was clean and tidy, and it was perfect for our purposes. Very close to town and the views were amazing. We made good use of hanging out on the dock and around the firepit. My brother was able to bring his dogs and they enjoyed the outdoors too. The house was nicely decorated and updated. We thought it was adorable and will definitely consider coming back again another time. We had a lovely stay.
Communication with Dianna was great and she was very accommodating. I saw the review from a previous guest regarding ants. They came around when we were there too, but this is the time of year when you see ants. If you have a problem with bugs or spiders, the woods may not be for you. The owner let us know about the possibility of ants and that they'd sprayed and/or used traps. She didn't see any before we arrived and neither did we. Once we had food in the house, we started seeing them, but the owner left us ant baits. We just made sure not to leave food out and it really wasn't a big issue.
updates inside - outside needs work
The kitchen in this house is well stocked with about anything you would need. The kitchen is updated & overlooks the river. Very pretty! Unfortunately there were ants on counters, stove & even the table. We needed to keep all food in the fridge. The house was clean & neat inside. The sofa bed was not usable - very very uncomfortable. the other two beds dipped in the center. It lists bikes as one of the items for renters use, but they sat off to the side very dirty and with flat tires. The outside of the house is missing pieces of siding, & soffits. I think this house is a work in progress. The dock & view were very nice. The owners live next door & their dog comes over and leaves a deposit in the lawn each morning. ugh!
Great Cottage
We really enjoyed our stay. Worked really well for us. It is clean and roomy. The dock and the beach were great. My dog especially enjoyed the trip. He was in the water the whole time. Close to town. The owners were very nice as well.
Wonderful riverfront escape
This was a great place for a weekend getaway. The location and house were exactly as pictured, although there was a lot more beachfront than we expected which was great. Dianna was super easy to communicate with and very flexible. She even took the trouble to mail back things we had left in the house. It's a great location and close enough to historic Chestertown and grocery stores, etc., but when you are at the house you feel like you are really getting away from the grind. We loved sitting on the dock watching bald eagles and ospreys and had a very peaceful weekend.
Great house, hosts, and location! Thank you!
I rented this house back in October 2015 for a girls' weekend and recently returned with my family. The location and accommodations were perfect for us… right on the water with a private dock and boat ramp. We brought our jet ski, but you could easily bring a large boat. The house is completely remodeled inside...it was very comfortable for 6 adults. We took advantage of the complementary kayaks, paddle boards, paddleboat, fire pit, and grill. One of the most important features for us was that the house is pet friendly (with the owner's approval), which is often difficult to find… our dog had a great time swimming from the beach! Dianna and Russell were great and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. We will be back!

Along with plenty of restaurant choices, there is a local theatre(center of town,) a movie theater in one of the 2 shopping centers and a bowling alley(featuring duck pin)just a short drive out of town. . Most of the local towns have taste of the town at one time or another. Betterton days is the first Sat in Aug.every year. Rock Hall hosts a rock fish tournament June 13-15, Pirates weekend Aug 8-10, Oct 11th is Fallfest. Dover is just 40 minutes away and Annapolis is just 45 minutes.

Because this is the country, there are no fences around most properties. There are 2 labs that live next door to the property. Please be aware, they are very friendly and may come over & visit.
