Stunning Views from Waterfront Log Cabin With Fireplace On The Chesapeake Bay

This place is magical! The view – 180 of sky and water- is ever-changing and SO relaxing. The cabin itself is charming and cozy and deliciously quiet. Brett, the host, was delightful to work with. We can’t wait to come back.

Great place and stay! Brett is a great host!! We would definitely book again here.

Hubby and I loved our stay in this rustic cabin. It is above the water with unobstructed views. We saw a LOT of birds during our stay. There were many Osprey flying around and catching their breakfasts/dinners right in front of us! There were bald eagles in the neighbors tree. Brett is very helpful and nice. The cabin is well supplied with nearly everything - TV, binoculars, telescope, beach chairs, as well as the essentials like Kleenex, paper towels, TP, etc. I recommend bringing your own sheets and towels to avoid a fee. There is no washer or dryer (so the housekeeper has to take it away in order to clean it). There are safe roads and trails to walk on and a lot more hiking if you don’t mind a short drive. It is the perfect place for a getaway of any length!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this kitschy, cool, rustic cabin with a million-dollar view. Communing with the ospreys, hummingbirds and the bald eagle who perched numerous times on a nearby tree was an added bonus. And, the owner may be the most friendly/helpful we’ve ever rented from. We hope to be back some day. Thanks!

Everything about this cabin was just what we were looking for! From the initial booking until we left we were taken care of by Brett. The pictures on-line were spot on but seeing the bay view in person from the windows and deck took my breath. There was a lot to do and we took advantage of close by activities (hiking, paddle-boarding, kayaking, jet skiing) but the cabin is a destination in itself with it's peaceful and calm surroundings. We were blessed with beautiful sunrises, hummingbirds and butterfly friends visiting all day and osprey, bald eagle and deer sightings daily! We had an amazing time connecting with nature and each other as a family during our stay!

First, Brett is an exceptional host. Very helpful and responsive. This is a very special place in a wonderful community with incredible views. Rustic, warm and the perfect place to relax. We didn’t want to leave! Highly recommend.

Cottage was just as pictured. Lots of character and charm. Host, Brett was easy to work with and very helpful!

Brett was by far the best host I’ve ever interacted with on VRBO. There was consistent communication before, during, and after our stay to make sure I had the best experience possible. The cabin was also wonderful. It is an old cabin with tons of charm and character. The water views are as awesome as the pictures show. Every morning and evening a bald eagle perched on a tree beside the property. If you love bird watching there was a wonderful showing there as well. I definitely plan on returning to the cabin and spending future vacations here!

The Navy cabin was just as pictured/described and Brett was a pleasure to deal with. The views were spectacular and we greatly enjoyed exploring the small beaches nearby. A day trip to Solomon‘s capped off our stay. Would love to go back and enjoy the serene nature of this rental.

The views are fantastic. Very quiet neighborhood.

We were looking for a quiet stay in a beautiful place and that was our experience. The view of the bay is spectacular. The neighborhood is quiet and an easy drive from DC, so this is a great place to find some peace when that's what's needed. There was a windstorm that knocked out power for much of the region one day. Brett was responsive and helpful in dealing with that unexpected event.

Great time!! Floridians playing in the snow!! Cozy fire afterwards in the fireplace. Picturesque drive up to the Navy Cabin, deer playing in the snow too.

There are so many reasons to visit Scientists’ Cliffs in the winter, especially if you enjoy cozying up with your honey by the beach. The warm, inviting cabin features an oversized hearth and breathtaking 180-degree views of the Chesapeake Bay from atop a cliff. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the endless hiking opportunities, whether it’s searching for shark teeth along the beach or exploring the nearby land trust trails.As the neighborhood history book in the cabin notes, “Scientists’ Cliffs is not fancy. You have to like roughing it to some degree.” But don’t let that deter you—host Brett is always available virtually to ensure your stay goes smoothly.We can’t wait to return, especially with our Vizsla, who absolutely loved it!

Forget your cookie cutter, unlived in and unloved rentals. If you’re looking for a quirky, rustic, eclectic authentic 1930’s log cabin, a genuine family home (Brett is an exceptional host and wants you to love his home as much as he does) surrounded by unspoiled nature with an unparalleled view of the magnificent Chesapeake Bay this is the ticket. From the crackling fireplace to the panoramic water view I felt like I was living on an historic old boat, with every breath of the restorative air on the beautiful deck, I could feel the stress of city life leaving me. I spent hours just watching the colours of the water change, and the birds of prey pass overhead. My elderly pup & I loved our daily visits to the beach and walks around the hilly neighborhood and the nature trails.

One of the oldest log cabins in the historic Scientists Cliffs community. Lovely deck overlooking the Bay. Stone fireplace. Cozy. Beautiful Fall weather and leaves.

Wonderful cabin right on the Chesapeake Bay. Quiet and private. Lots of parks and good restaurants in the general area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We were welcomed by a very cozy, warm, clean cabin. Peaceful, restful, gorgeous view and pretty much everything you would need in a cabin. It is important to remember it is a cabin so not all the comforts of home but pretty close. The deck and the view of the Chesapeake is amazingly soothing. Eagles daily flying overhead, trails to walk, and sail boats across the Bay. Truly a wonderful stay and perfect for tranquility. Will be back. Our host is not on site yet very attentive. We had to contact him a couple of times and he was readily available within minutes. Check in easy. Check out easy. Just a great stay overall.

We stayed at the cabin for my son's 9th birthday. The cabin was a perfect for us. The views of the bay are spectacular. There is small beach within a 5 minute walk from the cabin. We had great luck finding shark teeth and other fossils there. South beach is a 5 minute drive and again we had no problem finding shark teeth. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we're already talking about a return trip. The owner is super proactive and goes above / beyond to make sure you have a great trip.

The cabin was clean, well appointed and close to grocery stores and restaurants. We especially liked the proximity to hiking trails. Five stars!

Great rental and location. Enjoyed the amenities of the neighborhood. Very peaceful.

We had a great time. The balcony view was spectacular and the eagle in the tree to our left was an added bonus. Having a private beach was wonderful and we took advantage of the hiking trails close by. Thanks!!

We had a great stay and Brett was extremely responsive. Gorgeous location and special cabin.
