Great little cottage near the shoreline. Perfect for R&R heavy on the REST and RELAXATION. Lots of books, games and outdoor seating if the weather required you to stay put. So many little gems in and around the area. Fishing, museums, great local food and lots of water opportunities. Fantastic attentive hosts!

We are over the moon that you enjoyed your stay and were able to so quickly find all the wonderful secrets found in St Mary’s County. Although most people know the cottages for the summer water sports you are well on your way to discovering the fantastic adventures available for fall and winter stays.

Lovely cottage with everything neededfor a small family — just pick up groceries on your way in. The entire area is quite festive around July 4th and locals celebrate with a fun parade in the morning and fireworks well into the night. Tall Timbers is probably best suited for guests with their own boat or a vehicle equipped to transport kayaks since immediate beach access isn't really available, but we still really enjoyed our stay and will consider returning to unwind in a cozy setting with relaxing accomodations again. Thank you, Lolly and Lindley!

We never tie of hearing how wonderful the cottage and peaceful neighborhood are. When we first stumbled across Tall Timbers and saw the property we fell in love and never tire of finding ways to mar it even more inviting. We especially enjoy the winters when the trails and parks are almost our own.

Great property for pets. Our only reason for not five stars was how dark the property is at night to find. Other than that, it was a nice place to stay.

Brenda thank you for taking the time to respond. We are delighted that you had a five star experience other than the difficulty finding the driveway in the dark. We appreciated the heads up so we could check it out and did find that a solar lamp needed to be adjusted but we went a head a purchased tall blue lamps to flank the driveway entrance.

A lovely small home on a quiet street in a quiet village. The layout of the house is very comfortable, the property was very clean and the hosts, Lolly and Lindley, very welcoming and helpful. It also has one of the best equipped kitchens I’ve encountered via VRBO. We came with our dog who is just finishing a recovery from surgery and neighborhood was perfect for taking her on longer walks.

Cute decor, plenty of cookware, towels, linens, TV with streaming and comfortable couch. Communication with host was outstanding and easy check-in and check-out.

We are not a company, this is our getaway home, so it is always exciting to find good people to share. Amy was a great guest, the kind that makes it fun to open your door to see who the world is introducing is too. We are excited to share the new outside dinning experience with them should they decide to return. We hope so.

I recently spent a weekend at this property with my family and my 2 dogs. The cottage is a little jewel that exceeded our expectations. Super clean, comfortable beds, powerful AC, fully stocked kitchen, WI-FI, etc. The communication with the owners was perfect. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended.

Cute cottage

This cottage is cute. The beach is more accessible via car - unless you're willing to walk through other people's back yard/pier. The dining table is great for entertaining. The rooms are a little tight but functional. Ideally a good place to rent for parents with 2-4 kids. Good and safe neighborhood.
Response from VrboOwner on Mar 31, 2020
Thanks for taking the time to write. I agree the car is an easy way to the beach and you are able to visit many more areas nearby via car, however I do love the walk along the bulk head. I also agree the house works best for 2-6 people. Two of the bedrooms have identical queen beds, the third bedroom is set up as a den with fold down sofa, and fireplace.

Comfortable. Needed better lighting at dinner table. Had to clean before leaving per house instructi

It was okay. Nice big kitchen. Worked well for a toddler. Shower did not drain well sorry we were not on the water.

Kenda, we take your comments seriously and are looking for an additional light to hang over the dinning room table. The shower drained quite well once we moved the clear shower mat back from the drain, it was completely covering the drain opening. Located across the street from the Potomac River with an easement that runs across the street and to the bulkhead that runs along the Rivers Edge we understand is not the same as the much more expensive on the beach rentals, but the woodland home has many wonderful features.. We love to launch the kayaks into the water at the marina and paddle around the Great Blue Herons, the deer, terrapins, otters and crabs. On occasion we enjoy watching the sunset while gathering around the fire pit in the yard. We are proud to offer a wonderful, clean, comfortable home with a water view at affordable prices.

This Tall Timbers bungalow delivers

I cannot say enough positive things about this rental. The home itself is adorable and exactly as represented in the photos attached to the owners' description. Tall Timbers itself is a tiny sleepy, waterfront community in a beautiful area of southern Maryland. We were there off-season so the marina and other area attractions were closed, but it was still a relaxing getaway. The owners are fantastic and very communicative and helpful. It is clear they take great pride in this property and enjoy "meeting" those who come to stay.

We stayed at this home Ju...

We stayed at this home June 2006 for two weeks. It was everything we were looking for in a vaca home. We have been coming to the the area for over 4 years and were tired of hotels. This was home away from home. Peaceful, friendly neighbors and very relaxing. It is a short drive to many attractions ie: Lookout Point, Solomon's Island, Historic St. Mary's City, Clavert Cliffs and much more. We are looking forward to our next vaca in Maryland and hope to rent the house again. I would highly recommend this property to everyone who would be coming to St. Mary's County on work, vaca or some R&R.
