About this property

Luxury 5-Star Chesapeake Bay Waterfront Home

Winter at The Cottage at Silver Water is calm, clear, and quietly beautiful. Snow-dusted views and crystal-blue skies frame the Chesapeake as migrating waterfowl glide across the water. As the day ends, golden hour washes the bay in soft light, often finishing with a vivid winter sunset—quiet and unforgettable.

Inside, Nordic-inspired design, a cozy fireplace, and sumptuous bedding create a warm retreat for deeply restorative rest. Discover why so many guests return by reading our reviews.
Tucked at the end of a quiet residential street, The Cottage at Silver Water is a modern waterfront escape where Scandinavian design meets quiet luxury. With 10-foot ceilings, a thoughtfully curated interior, and a half-acre setting on the Chesapeake, the home offers sweeping bay views from every room.

Inside, every detail is elevated by some of the country’s most coveted brands—Brooklinen, Bodum, Vitruvi, ROAM, Lafco, RH, Eames, Article, Joybird, Williams Sonoma Home, Evermill, Fellow, Sonos, West Elm, and more—surrounding you with beauty and comfort at every turn.

Outdoors, the experience continues: an expansive lawn, inviting fire pit, sleek sling loungers, private bluestone patio, hot tub, kayak launch, and lush gardens await.

The home is spread across two floors. The ground level features the Green Bedroom with a walk-in closet, a full bath, laundry, and the main living area. A covered patio extends from the living room, furnished with teak sofas and a cocktail table.

Upstairs, the Blue Bedroom offers a private covered balcony, an en-suite bath, and a generous walk-in closet. The third bedroom/office includes a marble-topped desk and a twin daybed—perfect for children or quiet work.

Wherever you are, the view is unforgettable—broad water vistas that shift with the light, bringing the Chesapeake right to your doorstep.

We stayed here for 10 days with our family (my husband, kids, and in-laws) while attending lacrosse tournaments in Maryland, and it was truly one of the best vacation rentals we've experienced.The home is absolutely beautiful—thoughtfully designed, tastefully decorated, and filled with high-end finishes and appliances. Every detail felt intentional, creating a space that was both luxurious and comfortable. The views of the bay were incredible, and one of the highlights of our stay was swimming and seeing so much marine life up close. It was a unique and memorable experience for all of us.The property grounds are immaculate, peaceful, and wonderfully maintained. It was the perfect place to relax between games and enjoy quality family time.Our host, Evan, was exceptional. He checked in regularly, answered questions quickly, and shared helpful local recommendations. His attentiveness made us feel genuinely welcomed throughout our stay.We also appreciated the thoughtful extras, including coffee, laundry detergent, and dryer sheets—small touches that made a big difference.The town is charming and conveniently located near so many attractions. While we came for lacrosse, this home became one of the highlights of our trip. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special place to stay. The property is every bit as beautiful as the photos—if not better!
