About this property
Historic Oxford Waterfront Estate
Bonfield Manor is located at the entrance of Oxford, a half-mile walk or bike ride to restaurants, shops and the Riverview Ave beach. The waterfront property offers a 12-acre park-like setting, fabulous views, and access to Boone Creek and the Choptank at its confluence into the Chesapeake Bay. Bonfield Manor and its plantation buildings were established in 1771-73. The original Georgian manor burnt down in 1927 and was replaced by an elegant lodge built on the original mound (and colonial basement kitchen). With two master bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms on the ground floor, two queen size bedrooms and 2 bedrooms with 2 twin beds each on the second floor, and 3 additional shared bathrooms Bonfield Manor can accommodate up to12 people. There is an additional pull-out sofa in one of the twin bedrooms upstairs and a kids' bed that can be set up as additional beds upon demand. The 12-acre property with its shaded outdoor patio, swimming pool, large dock, and extensive grounds provides both privacy, time to relax and an extensive playground for young and old. Fishing, crabbing, canoeing, and swimming are at your fingertips as are games, TV, WI-Fi, piano, and books for indoor entertainment. You are at the entrance of Oxford with everything in walking distance, St Michaels a ferry trip away, and Easton a 15 minutes drive.

Great secluded property just off the Chesapeake Bay. There were 12 of us and the house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was near 100 degrees every day of our week and the pool and air conditioned house allowed us to get through the heat. Our family would go back to this property.
Absolutely beautiful home along with a 5 star atmosphere (waterfront, pool, gorgeous landscaping, air conditioned sunroom allowing for continued awe of water etc., even when humid weather lingers outside, Plus, crabbing was fun for the whole family - great dinners!!!! Privacy, away from the crowds but not far from shopping centers, restaurants, food markets etc,Perfect 10
The house and property were absolutely beautiful! We enjoyed swimming in the pool, going out on the kayaks and paddle boards and bike riding into the quaint town of Oxford. We truly enjoyed our stay at Bonfield Manor and would love to come back again!
This was the perfect place for our girls get away. The house and location were perfect. There is plenty to do at the house and close by. The ferry to St. Michaels is not far. I would highly recommend this property and plan on booking again in the future.
What a magnificent home. Fabulously appointed with thoughtful furnishings. Bedrooms and baths were perfect. The surroundings, pool, dock, boats, bikes are everything you could want. We would love to stay here again
My wife, three children, spouses and four grandchildren and I spent a week at the manor. Very relaxing, pool was great. The house and the grounds were wonderful. Enough to do to keep busy, or just relax.
This is a great rental for a large family. The town is beautiful and quiet with marinas, a ferry, a 25 mile an hour speed limit so biking is easy and safe, great restaurants and one of the best ice cream places in all of Maryland. The property has so many activities — a huge yard with breath taking sunrises, games, bikes, canoes, a pool, BBQ grills, badminton…we had an amazing family reunion!
This house was absolutely perfect for our family
The layout of the house, everyone had their own space and bedrooms were very comfortable. A beautiful library of books, which we used in the evening after kids were in bed.
The grounds and the pool, dock, kayaks, and every space was ideal. We will definitely return!
Idyllic Location with lots of amenities for a group
10 of us spent a wonderful long weekend at the idyllic Bonfield Manor House. Gorgeous property with peaceful stunning views, an easy walk into Oxford and plenty to do at the house.
Marianne was so easy to work with and very responsive!
Highly recommend!!!
The house was amazing!!! Beautiful, clean, plenty of space for a family. The owner and property manager were both wonderful and very attentive to our needs. We’re booking again for next year. The house was exactly as described and the pictures did not do it justice
Very highly recommend
The house and grounds are wonderful. All the bedrooms were well appointed and very comfortable. The common spaces were very generous and very well appointed to make you feel right at home. The kitchen had everything we could have wanted and more. Pool, dock and yard were great for gathering and games - wish we could have stayed a month! Will definitely stay here again.

We stayed again at Bonfield Manor this summer [early August]. Read our review [5 stars] from July of 2015! Great time, wonderful facilities! A perfect vacation!
Beautiful home and setting! Lots to do to keep pre-teens and teens occupied: canoeing, paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming, games, plus large, flat yard for outdoor games, such as bocce ball. Very relaxing…highly recommend!
The house was spotless and filled with everything you can think of and then more. Extra towels, linens anything else needed. The grounds are well kept. Every morning someone could be seen cleaning any leaves from the pool. The house is filled with games and all different sizes of bicycles. All on acres of private property adjacent to a conservatory park.

About the host
Hosted by Marianne Haug
We have cherished Bonfield Manor for nearly 20 years and use the property YEAR Round as a 1-2 day retreat and for longer vacations. With children grown and heavy travel commitments, we would like to share this special historic property with others who are looking for a short-term 'get-away' or vacation rental. Bonfield has been updated to today's standards and furnished with 19th century antiques and engravings as well as modern art works and furniture.
What makes this property unique
Priceless setting and water views. Convenient, close-in but peaceful location, Abundant wildlife: ospreys, owls, blue herons, fowl, foxes, and deer. Remaining colonial buildings on the property. Plantation and literary history of Bonfield Manor.
