Riverfront Retreat 7mil from MD Renaissance Fest!

Upon entering the property, you are welcomed with an oversized beach chair and the pool. The house itself looked a bit rough on the outside but everything appeared clean. It isn't fancy but checked all the boxes although I did expect something a bit nicer for the price (marks on walls, chandelier coming out of wall, dingy blankets). There are a lot of beds and bedrooms which worked out great for our sized group. However, the bathrooms don't quite work out relative to their location. The room with 6 beds (1 additional bed entering) is super cute and comfortable, but there is only one half bath for 7 people! The view is lovely but please note the stairs to the dock is quite steep and a lot of stairs. There was a molded coffee pot that had been there awhile. Luckily, the owner responded quickly and directed me to the other kitchen which had another. Last but not least, the water. It was unusable for showering, drinking, or cleaning and the rotten eggs/sulfur smell lingered long afterwards. All in all, it met our needs for the weekend.

Communication was excellent. Home was wonderful. Great size for a large family gathering.

All around great stay! Plenty of space and activities. Great host and home!

We had 24 people ranging from ages 1 - 83 so we used every bed and we stayed for a week. As we arrived there were a few things that needed to be attended to but the property manager responded and sent workers over to fix them. It was very hot and humid outside the first few days and the A/C worked great! We enjoyed the pool, volleyball net, hammock, fire ring, exercise equipment, and the large living area on the Luxe side. We even brought in a big round folding table and chairs from the garage for extra seating. There were 4 refrigerators and a chest freezer that made it easy to store food to feed us all. We also used the dock to tie up a boat for the week but the boat lift that is pictured does not work. The steps down to the dock are very steep so our 83 year old did not get a boat ride. We had 8 kids, 10 years old and under, that loved playing in the bunk room on the Luxe side. There is lots of grassy area on the river side and the other side of the house to play games and run around. Sunset views are pretty on the river side and we even saw a July 4th fireworks display from the river side lawn. A perfect ending to our week together!

Wonderful spot for large group. House was massive. Comfortably slept 17 of us. The views of the canals were great and close to Annapolis. Would definitely come back.

We had a great family reunion/xmas celebration on this property. The property itself is amazing. Huge piece of land....and great views.

Large. Peaceful.

I reserved this property because a) the Guest Reviews were unanimously very positive and b) because I needed ten separate bedrooms for ten co-workers in town for a business offsite. The reality is that the two buildings and the configuration of the rooms is very choppy and not nearly close to one another in terms of comfort or atmosphere. One of the bedrooms is only accessible by walking through another bedroom. Others appear to originally be closets that have been poorly repurposed. The Cottage is musty and was unacceptable for my colleagues with sensitive respiratory issues. The basement bedroom in the Luxe is more bomb shelter than bedroom. In the end, I felt the need to offer to any of my colleagues to leave and stay down the road at the Courtyard Marriott. Also, this is not a new or property or high-end experience by any measure. I was sadly and significantly disappointed with this property.

It was a beautiful and private setting for a family reunion.

4 generations had a great stay!
