great peaceful cabin close to everything

The cabin was teh perfect get away location. It's set in a picturesque wooded setting that seems off the beaten path but really isn't. I was pleasantly surprised at how close everything was to the cabin. The cabin is the perfect size for 1 or 2 people and the location is perfect for a relaxing and peaceful get away. Thanks for a wonderful stay, Nancy!

Perfect Getaway!

This cozy cabin is the perfect place to get away and unwind. It had everything we needed for our three nights stay. The beds upstairs were very comfortable. There were coffee, bottled water, and snacks available on our arrival. The Hosts were very responsive to questions and very helpful. The cabin was clean and tidy. We liked the privacy of this location. There was a wonderful view of the river, with a path that takes you right down to the river's edge. I would highly recommend this place!

Great but items to note…

The overall trip and stay were wonderful. It was perfect for my friends to have a quiet get away. My only issue was that were items not mentioned in the listing that were important and a few mislabeled descriptions. 1. There only a 5gallon hot water tank. With 3 people, we had to be strategic in our showers. 2. There is no oven. Amenities Listing stated “oven” and later “toaster oven” which I didn’t catch3. The wood burning stove is no longer usableAll that said, the cottage is quaint and quiet. Perfect for a relaxing time away and I would stay again

Fantastic week!

We came to this lovely cabin for a week long "working" getaway. What a wonderful place, quiet, beautiful, peaceful and rejuvenating! Perfect for what we were looking for! Everything you need for a getaway. Perfect hosts, wonderful surroundings and many things to do and see around town or even just sitting in on the front porch doing nothing. Really enjoyed our stay!

A peaceful stay on a beautiful property.

Hilltop Cottage is a lovely retreat in a beautiful area in Calvert County, Southern MD. It is located on a heavily wooded site uphill from the main house along a wide expanse of the Patuxent River. The cottage is well appointed and cozy. It is perfect for two people. The loft sleeping area is a little tight and we did hit our heads on the ceiling a few times. WiFi was good. Couldn’t get the TV to work, but we enjoyed the sounds of birds and the trees rustling, so it wasn’t a big deal. It’s very close to Solomons Island, Jefferson Patterson Park, Calvert Cliffs and other local attractions. Enjoyed hiking in The American Chestnut Land Trust area. Nancy and Kent were gracious hosts and we enjoyed speaking with them while sitting outside along the river near their home. Gorgeous views from a bluff. They offer the use of a single person kayak. We definitely hope to return.

A quiet, restful retreat

We really enjoyed our stay at Hilltop. Between the view of the water, trees all around, and a family of deer that we spotted on the first night, it was the perfect remedy to a stressful move. The inside of the cabin is really cozy and had everything that we needed including good wifi, a fridge, stove and toaster oven. There's also a wood-burning stove that you need express permission and instructions to use so we didn't get around to using it but it really added to the charm of the property. The only negative for us was the limited water heater; we had to take short, on-and-off showers so as not to blow right through its five-gallon tank, lest the next person need to wait an hour.

Wonderful

This was a wonderful get away, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The property was exactly what was listed. The Mountfords we very gracious and accommodating. The value of the cost per night was exceptional. I definitely hope to have return visits, and I have been telling family, friends & colleagues about Hilltop.
