The Space:
Mid-Century Charm and Modern Comfort:
Step inside our mid-century family home and be transported to a bygone era of classic design and effortless sophistication. From the sleek lines of the architecture to the warm tones of the wood accents, every corner exudes an inviting charm that welcomes you with open arms.

Expansive Living Spaces:
Spread out and make yourself at home in our spacious living areas, where large windows frame picturesque views of the creek and flood the rooms with natural light. Relax in the comfortable seating of the living room, gather for family meals in the large dining room, or unwind with an after dinner drink or book in the cozy den—there's plenty of space for everyone to find their favorite spot. The kids will love the lower level bunk/game room!

Well-Appointed Bedrooms and Bathrooms:
Retreat to one of our well-appointed bedrooms (three king, one queen, and the twin bunk room), where plush beds and soft linens ensure a restful night's sleep. Wake up to the gentle sound of nature and the creek life arising (Bald Eagles, Osprey) and step into the ensuite bathrooms, complete with modern fixtures and luxurious amenities for your comfort and convenience. Two of the four main bedrooms are ensuite, and the primary has a double shower, heated floors, and soaking tub under a skylight for the most relaxing bathing experience. The twin/bunk room on the lower level does not have a door, but it is at the base of the stairs going to the lower level so affords some privacy.

Outdoor Oasis:
Step outside and discover your own private outdoor oasis, where endless opportunities for fun and relaxation await. Take a refreshing dip in the sparkling pool, soak up the sun on the spacious pool patio, or gather around on the stone terrace for cozy evenings under the stars. With a large waterfront dock at your disposal, you can also venture out onto the creek for kayaking, paddleboarding, or fishing (byo poles), or simply enjoying the tranquility of the water with your morning coffee or evening drink. Try catching some blue crabs with our two crab pots!

Our vacation home is equipped with all the amenities you need for a memorable family vacation. From board games and books to outdoor toys and equipment, we've thought of everything to keep guests of all ages entertained and engaged throughout your stay.
