Family reunion and USNA football game

This location is perfect for attending a Navy football game as it is within walking distance of the stadium. The house is modern, spotlessly clean and was well set up for our group of seven adults. We especially enjoyed the screened porch and the lovely back yard.

Beautiful home in a lovely neighborhood

Love this place! Spacious and beautifully furnished with a fully-stocked kitchen and surrounded by a lush Japanese garden that houses a family of cardinals. The beds are comfy and the bathrooms are luxurious. The location is close to everything. The hosts are wonderful - very thoughtful and easy to contact with questions. Thank you Kris and Doug for sharing your home with us.

Great house, location and hosts!

We have been staying in Annapolis for 2+ years now (son is at the Academy) and this was one of our favorite places so far! The house was great and the hosts were great communicators. Spotless house, and upon entering, having a gift bag with a bottle of wine and food to feed the Koi was a great touch! The Koi are certainly shy though! The neighborhood was great, close to the Stadium, Naval Bagels and really everything. Minutes to downtown Annapolis and a great house to come back to at the end of the day and relax on the screened in porch. We can't wait to stay there again.

Great location, Grewt house

We chose this property to attend a Navy football game. It was within walking distance to the stadium and in a greet neighborhood. The house had all one could ask for. The kids had tv, games, and a koi pond. As an extra bonus we got to pet the neighbors dog, a super friendly guy who helped our kids not miss our dog as much! The home is about 3 minutes from downtown and all the great shops and restaurants. Overall the home, people, and places made Annapolis one of our favorite family trips.

Huron House radiates peace and calm

My family had a wonderful stay at Huron House. The house is spacious and beautifully decorated. It felt like a peaceful and calm respite from this busy world. The interior takes inspiration from nature, with wood, natural colors, soft lighting and beautiful artwork. The yard is lovely as well, with lots of green space and a delightful koi pond. I never knew I could get so much enjoyment by watching and feeding koi! It's a nice neighborhood too, with many people taking walks. And it is located close to anything you might want to do in the area. I would definitely love to stay again.

Absolutely amazing!!!

This home was absolutely amazing for our family weekend with my Midshipman after 6 weeks of not seeing him! The kitchen where I spent most of my time cooking had everything I needed! My 4 year old was so happy and content spending his time in the little family area playing with the legos he found in the hallway closet. My 15 year old loved the basement and basically lived in it as her private quarters. We had my sons sponsor family over for refreshments and enjoyed our evening in the covered patio away from the mosquitos & enjoyed a big dinner with his rugby coaches around the dining table. The ONLY thing was I had my elderly father who is very hard of seeing and we had to mark the steps with bags and post its also around the dining table but if you don’t have to worry about someone’s eyesight or constantly bumping into things - this house is for you. Also all of the flashlights and lanterns stored in the closet came in handy for him in the evening!! The hosts were amazing and let us check in early after our long flight from CA. Again with my elderly father it worked perfect. A 5 minute drive to the Naval academy where I was twice a day. And such a cute neighborhood with families walking in the evening. I will definitely be booking this home again for my near future stays!! Thank you so much!

We stayed for a Navy football weekend and the proximity to the stadium was awesome. There were plenty of places to park and we could easily walk to the game. We entertained family afterwards and the kitchen was very well stocked. The beds were very comfortable and the neighborhood was quiet and safe. We had avery enjoyable stay.

Excellent house and location - highly recommend

A group of 6 (3 adults and 3 children) stayed for 2 nights while visiting the Naval Academy. It was an easy walk to the stadium where shuttles brought us over, very convenient location. It is a quiet neighborhood which was nice and what we were looking for.The house itself was great, very clean, lots of space, comfortable beds, and had everything we needed and then some. Fully stocked kitchen, games, and my bathroom even had a shampoo/conditioner/bath gel setup that you often see in hotels.Highly recommend if you are visiting Annapolis!
