A beautiful, peaceful, welcoming place to be

Overton Cottage is one of the most delightful, peaceful places we have stayed. The setting is beautiful - just up the road from a wildlife refuge. The owners are very kind, welcoming and responsive. The house is generously and thoughtfully furnished with every need in mind. This is the second time we have stayed there and we will be back.

Quick getaway

Our long weekend was exactly what we expected. The property was private, serene, and extremely relaxing. We took advantage of the restaurants and ice cream shops. We tried some fishing and crabbing but mostly just relaxed as a family.

Scenic Relaxation

What an amazing place. Wildlife everyday, along with sunrise views. Which was great for my mom who barely moved from the sun room. Was the cleanest place by far, and fully stocked. Owners are very personable and accommodating. Truly concerned about their guests having the best experience possible. We will definitely return.

Overton cottage

The owner was very nice and accommodating and the cottage was very clean. A couple of suggestions for guests: Be sure to bring soap for the shower, a night light, and a hair dryer. Hand soap, dish soap, and washing machine detergent are all provided. Very peaceful and relaxing there.

Vacation for relaxing and enjoying beautiful surroundings.

The cottage was very clean and was equipped with everything you needed for cooking, entertaining, enjoying the beautiful nature surroundings, etc. There is a screened in porch to enjoy meals or just relax outdoors and view the beautiful scenery around the cottage. It was a pleasure to meet the owner, Robert when we arrived at the cottage to show us around. Robert also invited us on a boat ride which was very thoughtful. We had a great time here and looking forward to visiting again.,

Wedding in Rock Hall

Overton Cottage was the perfect accommodation for a weekend wedding we attended in Rock Hall. The cottage was meticulously clean. The bed was very comfortable. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. The view of the water and the wetlands was picturesque. Robert was an outstanding host. We will definitely be returning!

Beautiful property, serene location

My husband, two teenage children, and I recently spent a week at Overton Cottage and it was wonderful. We could tell that Robert and Donna love their property and take great pride in it. It is beautifully maintained and decorated, and feels like home away from home! Robert and Donna are lovely people and are very knowledgeable about the area. If you love to fish, observe wildlife, and enjoy quiet relaxation you must visit Overton Cottage. We look forward to another stay. Thank you Robert and Donna!

Beautiful location, wonderful property

My husband and I had such a relaxing time staying at this house. It was clean and spacious, and the decor was fun. We were able to put our kayaks in from the dock in the back yard and go up the Chester River, to the nature preserve at Eastern Neck, and into the Chesapeake itself. The wildlife was stunning, and we enjoyed bird watching and relaxing on the screened in porch, even on chilly mornings. We also drove into the nature preserve a few times (it's just a couple minutes from the house) and ate lunch and dinner several times in Rock Hall. We were surprised at the number of good restaurants there. The owner was extremely helpful and made us feel very welcome. We definitely want to return for another visit, perhaps with our adult sons since there is plenty of room for four in the house.

The listing doesn't do it justice

Gorgeous property right on the water, the screened in porch has a beautiful 180 degree view of the water. From the bedroom window we could see the moon reflecing in the water. Lots of wildlife: osprey, bald eagles, turtles, rabbits, muskrat, deer and a friendly labrador retriever named Duke. The house is charmingly decorated, thoughtfully designed and well stocked with kitchen supplies and plush towels. It comes with a rowboat! It is 1/4 mile from the entrance to the Eastern neck wildlife reserve. The owner was very kind and gracious. If you are looking for a peaceful, picturesque getaway from the city - look no further.

We’ve stayed in several vacation properties over the years and Overton Cottage is definitely tops. The house was spotless, comfortable and its central air conditioning was very appreciated. Robert was friendly and helpful but in no way intrusive. You really can’t beat the views and privacy. This property is a winner.

Beautiful and generous

The location is powerfully beautiful, and yet serene and peaceful. The property is generously organized and delightfully furnished. The owners are deeply kind and thoughtful. The house is simple, easy, comfortable to be in - exactly right for the setting. There is a wildlife preserve a short distance down the road and the whole area is abundant with life. We had a wonderful time and will go back.

Relaxation at its best

We spent a weekend at Overton Cottage as a short retreat from our busy and stressful work schedules. The photos do not do this peaceful and beautiful home or view justice. The cottage is warm and inviting and the view is absolutely amazing. You really feel like you are staying in a friend's home. Mr. Strong was so helpful and accommodating. We were late checking in and could not find the exact entrance to the property. He came to our rescue in about 5 minutes. I can't wait to bring my friends to this lovely and tranquil place to recharge in the future. Hope to return for another stay very soon.

Outstanding getaway for a few days or much longer, of at least a week would be ideal.

The sunrise from this cottage coming up over the water is spectacular and does not disappoint as the wildlife and water fowl begin the day on these shores. The Cottage has been totally rehabbed down to the studs. Thoughtfully added on to, with everything brand new and kept spotlessly clean, while retaining a waterside cottage charm. It is filled with light and views of the waterway steps from the screened in back porch. Either relaxing on the back porch or on the floating dock the waterfowl abound and delight as they glide or skim the water's surface. A short bike ride, walk or car ride takes you to the National Wildlife Refuge that opens to the upper Chesapeake Bay on the western shores of this peninsula; there are plenty of walking paths, deer, turkey, and a variety of fowl. Sunset is not to be missed from this near western shoreline. Of course, there are plenty of places to dine outside, even dockside in Rock Hall. But, with the well equipped kitchen at The Cottage and a few good suggestions in the Guest Manuel I do recommend picking up an order of prepared steamed Maryland Crab, Crab Cakes, and / or Rock Fish to bring back to the Cottage as dinner. Wonderful food only made better when served by candle light on the back porch as the plenitude of stars appear over the waterway. Not enough can be said for the prompt and kind response as needed from Robert or Donna Strong. Robert was immediately at hand to welcome and show me around as well as for a call concerning the Wi-Fi, which he promptly fixed. And "Duke" his trusty black lab was a delightful greeting companion. Even after leaving I found that I had misplaced a personal object left near the boat launch at the Refuge. Robert immediately got a wildlife personnel to go out in search of this small object. The Strong's along with family members have been marvelous stewards to this beautiful track of land that is now being converted to Organic for future generations of farming. The Cottage at Overton Farms receives my highest recommendation for natural beauty, cleanliness, comfort, service and relaxation.
