Stayed Jun 2, 2026This riverside cottage is an oasis to get away from the crazy world we live in. Spending time outside, watching the water work go by, or a roaring evening fire feels rejuvenating yet relaxing. The hosts are super nice and brought over some special treats - oysters! Great place to unwind and decompress. I would definitely rebook this one!

Stayed Oct 24, 2025Above and beyond expectations! We have stayed in many VRBO's and this is only the second time that the property was much better than we expected. The pictures do not do the cottage justice. The decor is tasteful and comfortable. Many thoughtful extras were provided. The water is just a few feet from the back door and the sunset pictured on site is what we arrived to that evening. Only regret is that we weren't able to stay longer.

Stayed Oct 10, 2025No all thing that we need to cook, but most of it. The place was clean. The water wasn’t good, too salty, the bathroom too small. The mattress wasn’t comfortable. Water on the kitchen stink.

Stayed Aug 11, 2025Thank you Lauri and Scott for welcoming us to your beautiful cottage and beach! This was a great fit for our family of four with two school age boys. I liked the open space in the home so I could see our boys play while I was prepping food in the kitchen. I appreciated that the kitchen had all I needed to make simple meals. I loved that the beach was right out down below the lawn so our boys could have fun skipping rocks, finding shells and sea glass and come right back inside to cool off. We had so much fun kayaking to the longer beach and back and on our last full day we got to see a thunderstorm roll in. It was a beautiful place to spend a few days to rest and play. Lauri annd Scott, you are wonderful hosts!! We hope to come back!

Stayed May 23, 2025You couldn't ask for better hosts, who genuinely want to ensure you enjoy your time. Beautiful, well-appointed cottage right on the Potomac with a wonderful view in a friendly neighborhood. Close enough to everything you need but far enough away from it all at the same time.

Stayed Sep 13, 2024This location was a wonderful place to get away from life. The sunsets are great and it's very quiet. It's right on the water and perfect for kayaking. We were able to do day trips to Calvert Cliffs and Historic St Mary's City/St Mary's College of Maryland. The house was comfortable and clean. The owners provided a lot of items that we needed. We hope to return in the future.
