Waterfront Oasis with Sunset & Sunrise with Dock

5 out of 5 average rating, 20 reviews4 months ago

Samantha was wonderful and the house and location is really perfect. its setting is so nice and quiet, and the house is set up perfect for a family with a great game room upstairs and tons of games. We spent thanksgiving there with our family and the house had everything you could need for cooking for sure. It was perfect. We look forward to coming back in the summer to enjoy the outdoors more. Waking up every day and going out on the dock to feed the three swans was really cool. We'll be back.

I had such a great stay at this property and Doug was a great host! The location is fantastic—it's in a friendly, welcoming community that's just a short walk to great restaurants and coffee shops, which was super convenient. The space itself was clean, comfortable, and had a cozy, inviting vibe that made me feel right at home. If you're visiting Cambridge, Maryland, I definitely recommend staying here—it’s the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

Waterfront 3BR/3BA Getaway: Beach, Dock, Firepit!

4.9 out of 5 average rating, 81 reviews3 months ago

We took a small vacation with my sister’s family and we loved the location. Our kids enjoyed the small play area in the basement with the arcade machine and foosball table. We cooked every night and they had all useful appliances. We used the Ninja air fryer and Keurig machine every day. Since we went in January after a snowstorm the road was a little hazardous to use and the lake was completely frozen, so we spent most times indoors. We did enjoy going to the dock and looking at the frozen lake. This will be a great place to visit during the summer, they had Kayaks to use and a nice dock to jump from and fish. We would definitely come back.

We had a lovely stay at Patrick’s place! It had everything we needed for a long weekend on the shore. A very comfortable home. Patrick was extremely responsive and helpful, with easy check in and check out. The kitchen was particularly lovely and well appointed! The house number is a little small so keep an eye out. And the mosquitos were fierce - don’t forget bug spray! Thanks, Patrick!

Beautiful, relaxing, multi-family house right on the water. The outdoor space is huge and completely fenced in so our kids and dogs could run free safely. The house itself is full of things to do (karaoke machine, hot tub, ping pong, etc.), and is also really close to several state parks, beaches, and more. We will definitely be back!
