The house was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. I loved that there were enough bedrooms for all my children to have their space. Also, the beds were comfortable. The kids loved the creek and the scenery was beautiful. Even though there is a house on each side, it was still very peaceful and quiet. The one tip I would give others is to know where you are going without gps because reception is spotty. We would definitely go again.
Great time had by all. Not as many fish caught as we would have wanted but great memories make up for it!
We were looking for a quiet and relaxed New Years not too far from home and this was the perfect house to do that! Everything we needed was there and the house was very clean. The are was secluded and the scenery was beautiful. Would definitely go back again for a getaway!
Great host with fly fishing wisdom. Great cabin, just feet from the Savage River. 2.5 bathrooms for 4 bedrooms. Spacious living room, dining room , kitchen and basement apartment. Easy, clean and comfortable. Exceeds expectations. Access to Savage, North Branch of the Potomac, tributaries and reservoirs. Don’t count on fast internet. But isn’t that why you come to the Savage River., to catch difficult fish not watch YouTube videos about fishing.
We enjoyed the sound of the water. Very relaxing and soothing. Enjoyed gathering around the fire pit with the Savage River running through the back yard. Nice views of Savage River from the house. House well kept.
The Rainbow Cabin was excellent with an amazing trout pool in the backyard. Great way to experience the Savage River in comfort. The Fly Shop next store provided great information regarding the river as well as places to eat and visit in the area and you can book Charlie for personal lessons and guided trips. Outstanding experience, we'll be back in the fall to focus on casting on the Savage.
If you’re looking for a mountain/river/fishing escape in MD, look no further. Mike takes great care of these properties and is a fantastic host. This was our fourth annual trip and we plan to come back for many years to come.
This was by far one of the most relaxing places. Could sit by the water and read while my husband fished away. Loved it!
Absolutely beautiful location. Property was very clean and well kept. We had a wonderful fall weekend fishing and relaxing on the river!
My husband and I wanted to take a break from Working From Home! This was the perfect getaway! He went fly fishing every morning on the Savage River. We grilled at night and ate all our meals on the deck overlooking the river. Lots of chairs outside to enjoy the view, read, or nap! The house was spotless and had everything we needed for the week-fully stocked kitchen, clean towels, and a coffee maker! Most relaxing vacation we have ever had!
