Fabulous property and wonderful place on the St. Mary’s River. We LOVED watching the freighters go by. The house was better than the pictures on VRBO! The decor is perfect for the location. It is very relaxing and quiet. We will definitely be back.

Awesome - no other way to describe it. Probably one of the best equipped, well communicated, and cool rentals we’ve ever stayed in. The house has everything you need and the views, water and yard are unbeatable. We just wish we could have stayed longer! Also the host is outstanding. 10/10 would recommend and also stay again if we’re ever back in the area.

For the most part it was clean in side windows could use a good cleaning along with extra care to getting cobwebs taken care of a little better past the height of the windows. The bed pillows need a little help especially the extra ones that are used for the pull out couch are very flat and smell aweful. The extra linen also was pretty much also just crammed in a tote like it was just pulled out of a wash wash machine and thrown in the tote.One set of towels also is not enough for three nights of stay for showers for three adults. Outside yard was a beautiful setting to watch the barges. Work on those couple things and it will be amazing.
