About this property

Snow Hill Riverfront Retreat : Wildlife, Fishing, Kayaking, Nearby Beaches...

Surround yourself with nature's beauty when you stay at this 120 acre farm retreat. Located on the banks of the Pocomoke River, near quaint Snow Hill Maryland, this Cottage at Red Landing accommodates up to 7 people comfortably. Complete solitude overlooking the Pocomoke River, a perfect hideaway. Enjoy a morning sit on the deck watching spectacular sunrises over the river and evening sunsets across the farm fields. Feel far away while being right in the middle of it all!

The area
There is plenty to keep you busy if you want. Launch your own kayaks from the riverbank or rent canoes and kayaks in Snow Hill at the Pocomoke River Canoe Company. Catch a fish from the dock! Or book a cruise with Pocomoke River Cruises down the Pocomoke. Bike or hike, miles of the surrounding area are owned by the Nature Conservancy and Maryland State Parks.

You can stay and relax or for a short drive you can enjoy the attractions in the many nearby resort areas. Heading north from the Cottage, Ocean City, Maryland offers a 3 mile boardwalk featuring shops, amusement park rides, and bike rentals right on the beach. For something more quiet, Assateague Island National Seashore and its wild, undeveloped beach is only 28 miles away. Closer by, in Berlin, voted America's Coolest Small Town by Budget Travel, you can shop in boutique shops, visit a micro brewery and locally owned craft dining. Just south of the Cottage, Chincoteague Virginia is a small town gem with its access to beaches, shops, and wild ponies. All within a short drive, there are ample opportunities to enjoy live music, unique dining, quality shops, and the natural beauty of the Eastern Shore. While enjoying the quiet of a river retreat, you are still right in the middle of it all.

The Space
Outdoor Living: Adirondack chairs with outdoor gas fire pit sit 20 feet from the river’s edge. Enjoy views down the river along with the unique cypress trees and sweet bay magnolia that line the property. River breezes cool the air, even on hot summer days . Outdoor grill and dining table encourage outdoor living. Relax in the hammock or play ping pong and corn hole.


Indoor Living: Accommodations for 8 with linens provided, fully stocked kitchen, washer/dryer,and Wifi with broadband fiber. Or unplug! The real attractions are the views! Guests have spotted deer, turtles, eagles, turkeys, fox, and beaver!

The farm has been in Regina’s family since 1948 when her grandfather purchased and farmed the land. This area was historically called Red Landing and an old ramp and concrete kiln that might have provided pitch to repair the bottom of boats trafficking the river remain on the property as evidence of a bygone era when steamboats regularly traveled the river .

For those looking for peace and quiet, communing with nature, this stand alone house offers a chance to stay in the midst of one of the most visited areas on the east coast. Where else on the east coast can you spend time in a place without any other views of neighbors? The Cottage sits on a point of land that affords views of the river and the adjoining state forest. The privacy is spectacular; especially since a major resort that expands to 300,000 people in the summer is only minutes away.

Cottage by the river

This property is lovely.We throughly enjoyed our stay. Everything we needed was on hand and the cottage is super clean. The host provided lots of information about the local area and the cottage has nice touches of local and eastern shore history. The view of the river is awesome and the cottage property is beautiful. We saw beautiful cypress trees, cypress swamps and had a great visit to assateague.

Beautiful Secluded Location

The location was really great and was conveniently located near the town of Snow Hill, which was also a very nice place to visit. The house was clean and the hosts were very friendly and accommodating. Also, there was a ping pong table in the garage, which was a hit with the kids!

About the host

Hosted by Regina, Jeff, and Jessica Royer

Host profile image
Regina and Jeff are both retired educators. Jeff taught high school biology for 36 years. Regina was a professor in the education department of Salisbury University. Jeff stays busy maintaining the farm and two houses.. They keep fit boating and kayaking on the river as well as biking throughout the areas roadways. Much of the area's shoreline and forests are owned by the Nature Conservancy, a tribute to the area's scenic beauty.

Why they chose this property

Regina’s Mom and Dad built this house on the farm in 1981 and Regina and Jeff built a house and moved to the farm in 2015. Many family crab feasts and Christmas dinners have been held at the Cottage. Unfortunately, Mom died in 2013 and Dad died in December, 2019. Not yet ready to sell the house, they have decided to share this beautiful setting.

What makes this property unique

Where else on the east coast can you spend time in a place without any other views of neighbors? The Cottage sits on a point of land that affords views of the river and the adjoining state forest. The privacy is spectacular; especially since a major resort that expands to 300,000 people in the summer is only minutes away.
