About this property
The Yellow Cottage on Harness Creek
The minute you step into our charming waterfront cottage you will feel right at home!
Situated on Harness Creek, in a quiet residential neighborhood, the Yellow Cottage is a great place to 'get away from it all'. Recently renovated, our historic cottage has all of the modern day comforts to make your stay enjoyable. With the original heart pine floors and a huge farm sink in the kitchen, we have retained the feeling of a true waterfront cottage.
A cheerful country kitchen greets you as you enter the front door. If it's just a cup of tea you want or something more elaborate, the kitchen has it all. Beyond the kitchen is a sunny combination dining and living room area. Two oversize comfy chairs face the water in the sitting area where you can read or relax with a glass of wine.
With the two bedrooms, the cottage sleeps four guests in either a queen or full sized bed. A sleep sofa in the living room can sleep additional guests.
During the summer months enjoy life on the creek! Bring your fishing rod and cast from the pier or try your hand at catching some local crabs. Kayaks and paddle boards are included for your enjoyment. Visit us during the fall and watch the leaves change across the creek from your Adirondack chair each morning. Or settle in for a cozy winter weekend at the cottage with a good book and some hot chocolate!

Everything is exactly as described. We loved the Great Frog winery within walking distance. The entertainment friday was great. Close to anything you want to go to or simply enjoy your surroundings. Quiet and serene.
My boyfriend and I stayed at the cottage for the Fourth of July weekend and had a wonderful and restful stay. This was one of the easiest stays I’ve experienced- check in and check out was as smooth as it gets, the cottage had all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay (specifically the kitchen), and the bonus of having kayaks to use and the grill in the yard was the cherry on top.Thank you!
Charming cottage in a quiet area, but close to Annapolis. Lovely hosts and amenities were exactly as described. Loved the farmhouse/cottage core feel as soon as you open the door and see the flowered tablecloth and farmhouse sink. Lots of games and books. We had a great, relaxing time.
This was a great place to relax, have time to disconnect, and time to enjoy the company of my good friend. Loved the location and walked to the winery for a fabulous afternoon picnic.
Great cottage along a quiet road in a private setting. This is just what my family was looking for to escape the busy weekend in Annapolis. Will not hesitate to schedule future stays at this home.
Excellent little yellow cottage for sure! So quaint and quiet and charming property. Very homey and comfortable. We have stayed at the cottage actually 10 years ago when my son attended the Naval Academy and have very fond memories of our stay.Host Rhonda is the best and so accommodating.Would give 10 stars if possible!
Rhonda was a wonderful host and was SO accommodating to our needs. The kitchen has everything you need to make meals, and even has a few spices and seasonings to use. The kayaks and paddle boards were a hit and the view of the water is beautiful.Thank you for a wonderful stay, Rhonda. We will definitely be back!
My wife and I had a wonderful time staying at the Yellow Cottage. The location is peaceful but still close enough to everything you would want to do. Owner is very friendly and available if needed. Would highly recommend if you are planning a stay in Annapolis. Would easily consider staying again if coming back to the area.
Wonderful stay, great space and location. We loved the lush garden and atmosphere. Thanks Rhonda for having us at your beautiful Yellow cottage. Greetings Ruth and family
