We stayed here while we were producing an event at the Inn at Perry Cabin. Unfortunately, we were only able to enjoy the property for a small amount of time due to our work schedule, but this is definitely a place I will return to on my leisure time!

Wow, what a gorgeous house in St. Michael’s! Our family had a wonderful time here. The house is perfect. The kitchen has everything you need for prepping food (great for kids). We loved the grill and outdoor space, especially the cornhole set and sitting on the dock. We can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful and Relaxing Stay

The property is beautiful and very clean. The views are stunning! It was a great house for us traveling with our two young kids because they had at a open room that we could spread the kids toys across and still watch them from the kitchen and the living area. They also had a fully stocked kitchen so we were able to make our meals at the home. A stunning property and a wonderful stay!

Great stay at Riverview Terrace

My family and I had a great stay at the house. It was super clean and comfortable. The house is an easy walk or bike ride into town. We loved hanging out on the dock and were able to dock our boat as well. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your lovely home. We will sure to be back soon!

Beautiful home and setting. Loved the visit. All the amenities were easily accessible but we could never find the keys to the boat!! "walking" distance to town is accurate but the quotation marks are necessary.

Very clean and large property on scenic river. Only disappointing issues included problems launching kayaks over a tall wall and unfriendly TY cable system. Offset by abundance of great restaurants and peaceful and well maintained home.

We loved the house. Clean, spacious, amazing view, quiet & peaceful neighborhood. Everything you want do is about a mile away. Tip - We walked everywhere, but if you don’t plan on walking make sure you have a car. Uber is not really available in St. Michaels.

Memorable 4th of July Week!

What a fun, peaceful and magical week on the water at this special property. It is not an exaggeration to say the house was perfect - much more spacious than we expected, beautifully decorated, very comfortable, and it had all of the kitchen amenities you could imagine. The sun porch was a gem, perfect for gathering during the afternoon storms and also an ideal quiet spot for work calls We enjoyed the bikes, kayaks and SUPs daily and spent every evening on the lawn or dock. It was hard to leave and we can't wait to come back!

We rented this property for a long-weekend in October. The photos do not do it justice! So well stocked - not just the kitchen, but laundry facilities and games (indoor & outdoor) for kids & grownups of all ages. Amazing views. Clean & convenient to town. Can’t wait to return!
