I can’t say enough about the owners
This is our 4th time staying at this house, we just love the layout and elbow room the ranch provides. Great location by the stadium, super convenient to everything. We had a travel delay and Kris and Doug bent over backwards to help us solve our issue, including recommending an auto shop to fix our car. Very easy to communicate with, very kind and understanding, very responsive. We’ve enjoyed renting from them for the last 3 Easters in Annapolis.

Huron House radiates peace and calm
My family had a wonderful stay at Huron House. The house is spacious and beautifully decorated. It felt like a peaceful and calm respite from this busy world. The interior takes inspiration from nature, with wood, natural colors, soft lighting and beautiful artwork. The yard is lovely as well, with lots of green space and a delightful koi pond. I never knew I could get so much enjoyment by watching and feeding koi! It's a nice neighborhood too, with many people taking walks. And it is located close to anything you might want to do in the area. I would definitely love to stay again.

Great location, Grewt house
We chose this property to attend a Navy football game. It was within walking distance to the stadium and in a greet neighborhood. The house had all one could ask for. The kids had tv, games, and a koi pond. As an extra bonus we got to pet the neighbors dog, a super friendly guy who helped our kids not miss our dog as much! The home is about 3 minutes from downtown and all the great shops and restaurants. Overall the home, people, and places made Annapolis one of our favorite family trips.

The property is very nice, with extreme privacy, multiple spaces in which to relax. It is well stocked with linens, dishes, cookware, cooking basics (spices, etc.), games, outdoor equipment, and basic first aid supplies. It is located conveniently for groceries, gasoline, and visits to the historic downtown area. We highly recommend the property.

Absolutely amazing!!!
This home was absolutely amazing for our family weekend with my Midshipman after 6 weeks of not seeing him! The kitchen where I spent most of my time cooking had everything I needed! My 4 year old was so happy and content spending his time in the little family area playing with the legos he found in the hallway closet. My 15 year old loved the basement and basically lived in it as her private quarters. We had my sons sponsor family over for refreshments and enjoyed our evening in the covered patio away from the mosquitos & enjoyed a big dinner with his rugby coaches around the dining table. The ONLY thing was I had my elderly father who is very hard of seeing and we had to mark the steps with bags and post its also around the dining table but if you don’t have to worry about someone’s eyesight or constantly bumping into things - this house is for you. Also all of the flashlights and lanterns stored in the closet came in handy for him in the evening!! The hosts were amazing and let us check in early after our long flight from CA. Again with my elderly father it worked perfect. A 5 minute drive to the Naval academy where I was twice a day. And such a cute neighborhood with families walking in the evening. I will definitely be booking this home again for my near future stays!! Thank you so much!

Beautiful home in a lovely neighborhood
Love this place! Spacious and beautifully furnished with a fully-stocked kitchen and surrounded by a lush Japanese garden that houses a family of cardinals. The beds are comfy and the bathrooms are luxurious. The location is close to everything. The hosts are wonderful - very thoughtful and easy to contact with questions. Thank you Kris and Doug for sharing your home with us.

Great spot for USNA Commissioning Week
Super convenient location to USNA, downtown Annapolis, freeways, the mall, and Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium We walked the short 10-minute walk to the stadium for Commissioning so we avoided all of the traffic after the ceremony. Spacious, well maintained house with all the amenities we needed. Koi pond in the backyard meant constant, pleasant sound of water moving over the small waterfall. Ample on-site parking and large backyard. The screened in patio was nice for outside-but-inside dining. We enjoyed our week-long stay and would definitely stay at Heron House the next time we are in Annapolis. Go Navy, Beat Army!!

Everything this house boasts, it delivers and then some! It is the perfect location to be close enough to the city for dining and shopping and also a quiet refuge from all the excitement of the city!

We were in town for a Navy game and this was a perfect home not only for its lovely design and yard...loved the koi pond...but the location perfect for walking to the stadium. Clean and had everything you could possibly need. We can't wait to plan another trip to this house! Owners very helpful and check in was so easy.

As described and then some!
A very well appointed property. We stayed here to attend the Annapolis Sailboat Show and this year, the remote parking was at the Naval Academy Stadium so it was a short walk to the parking lot to catch a free 7 min bus ride to the City Dock. The house has a very well equipped kitchen so dining in was very much like cooking at home. Very quiet neighborhood; accurate house use instructions. Easy check in and check out. Highly, highly recommend
