Very Nice Home Away from Home

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Perfect size, clean, nice ambiance and very comfortable. As both of us have allergies, we were delighted to have sheets and towels that were fragrance free.

Great Location

Stayed for the weekend before dropping our daughter off at camp and found it to be a great property for our little group. House was decorated well, A/C worked well, nice open concept in the family room/kitchen/dining area. All of the instructions were communicated accurately.

Great stay for triathlon

We were in town for the local triathlon and had a great stay! My kids (3&4) and I were able to walk to the finish line from the location. The house was clean and large enough that we were all comfortable. If you have kids, it’s across the street from a cool boat playground. Diane was very responsive to my questions and provided plenty of towels, blankets, etc. Overall, a great stay!

Just the Perfect Spot

This was our first time visiting the area, wanted something close to the water and also walkable to what the town has to offer. This property fit the bill perfectly! We brought our own kayaks and were able to walk them across the street to the marina and put right in. Walking to town or the other end of the town to see the sunsets was nice too. The house itself was very thoughtfully laid out and comfortable. Would love to stay again!

Great location, cozy place

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The location was ideal as we could walk to different places around rock hall and right across the street was a stop for the shuttle that runs on weekends so that was convenient. The process of getting in and out of the property was simple and efficient. We loved our stay.

We were there for the local triathlon weekend. This property was centrally located within easy walking distance to the water, race site, and restaurants. We didn't get much of a chance to explore downtown but still had a great time relaxing and talking to the locals!

Just about perfect.

The home decor and furnishings, location, and town were just what we needed. We did have to collect and bag up all the scented products during our short stay. We assumed the cottage had not been used recently and the various scents were strong. When we finally figured out how to set the mini split heating and cooling system, we were comfortable. Views of the lush lanscaping and birds through the windows was a highlight for us.

Wedding

The place was very easy to find. Located very close to the wedding venue. Despite the nasty weather, we still enjoyed our stay. If I were to plan an East Coast getaway I would definitely stay here. We weren’t in the house much as we had so many wedding activities. But it has everything that would make a long term summer visit wonderful.
