The pictures do not do the property justice. We traveled with plans for daily outings, so we were unable to enjoy the house as much as I would have liked. This house is perfect for a family vacation, a reading/writing retreat and weekend of scrapbooking. I slept in the bunk bed room. I haven't slept that well in years. It is so peaceful.St. Michaels's is lovely. There is a market on your way in, so you really could just grab groceries and spend the whole time hanging out in/near the house. I recommend exploring the area around the house on foot. The same can be said for St Michael's. I recommend checking out Jo Jo's Ice Cream, Olivin's Tasting Room and Book Hounds. Just in case you need more to do there are plenty of towns to explore, hiking and water activities. A few tips:-If you do take advantage of the kayak.... bring your own life jackets-I as well as my family are on ATT/CRICKET towers and we really struggled with signals. My family did okay on the house wifi. I have an old phone and could not get a signal even on the wifi. Signal strength was an issue throughout Md and into Del. I, fortunately, was able to use my phone hotspot and kept my laptop with me. -I recommend having back up directions if you plan to explore areas away from the house and St.Ms. We lost the GPS signal several times and utilized my hotspot/laptop. -When in doubt refer to the notes on the fridgeI hope to return with the plan to just hang out, read, eat and sleep.
