About Pam Barefoot & Jim Green
We are both retired and decided to share our secluded waterfront property with travelers who seek peace, nature and privacy. We're located on a cove off a larger saltwater creek leading to the Chesapeake Bay. We enjoy camping in our small Winnebago diesel motorhome with our standard poodle, and we have a full hookup available if you need to park a small RV by the cottage (small surcharge). When we travel, we seek privacy, fishing opportunities and a chance to make new friends. We've fished in Alaska, Chile, Scotland, New Zealand, Costa Rica, British Columbia, Bimini and many other spots (including a cargo ship in French Polynesia) and would love to swap fishing stories with you.

Why Pam Barefoot & Jim Green chose Exmore
It's an oasis in the middle of nowhere! Once you get here, it is unlikely you'll want to leave, if you enjoy solitude and nature. We're here if you need advice on things to see or do. We'll even loan you an egg or help you make crab cakes! Our cottage is fully equipped for cooking. All you need to bring is clothing (we have bathrobes and extra jackets) and food/beverages (we supply water, coffee & tea pods, spices and some condiments).
What makes this Cottage unique
If you want to sit back, commune with nature, relax and not hear any traffic, this is the place. Our sociable standard poodle will visit you on the cottage porch and loves hanging out on the dock or chasing balls, but only if you feel like it!
