West River, Maryland
A perfect getaway spot, on a peninsula on the West River just across from Galesville. Houses on the point are mostly waterfront and neighbors are friendly and quiet. Say hi or just enjoy the sunset from the porch or the dock. Kitchen is fine for cooking, though nearby restaurants in Deale and Galesville are tempting and Annapolis is only 20 minutes away. If you are a boater, the Bay awaits! Galesville is even closer by water and you can kayak to dinner. I love going to this peaceful place, and I hope you will too.
The house is available at reduced rates during the colder months, a perfect spot for a sabbatical or writing that book. It's cozy in winter with baseboard heat, and the fireplace works.
We could have stayed on the porch looking at the water, boats and sunsets our entire stay. In fact, one day we did! We imagine it would be great when the leaves change. We might plan our next stay around that .
Since the crabs caught off of the dock are that big, a large steamer or bigger pot would have been useful. Even though it was September, it was probably the hottest week all summer. Thankfully the window units kept us cool. I like renting quirky places like this, more so before vrbo became a big business taking their big share with fees.
This is an older home with some quirks but plenty of charm! The bed was very comfortable and the wifi/tv worked well. However the real highlight of this home is the location and the beautiful views! This is close to Annapolis, Baltimore and D.C. if you want a quick day trip- but the highlight for us was just relaxing on the dock catching blue crabs and enjoying the local restaurants. The neighbors are all friendly and happy to share recommendations if needed.
First off Mary was exceptional in communicating with me during the entire process and stay. She was quick to respond and more than accommodating. The property is well kept and situated in a wonderful neighborhood. Everyone greets you very warmly. The interior is quite spacious. There are seating areas throughout. The dock is great for enjoying your morning coffee or relaxing and watching the boats pass through the marina. I’d definitely return in the future and would highly recommend this property.
What a wonderful place in a beautiful setting. I will look to return soon.
The views are stunning and we could not have asked for more. I especially liked being able to cook and make coffee in the mornings. If given the opportunity we would love to stay again.
We really enjoyed the simplicity of the cottage - no bells and whistles, but that's perfect for us. The location and views were outstanding and the enclosed porch faving the water was wonderful for relaxing with a good book.
The place was exactly as pictured. The location was perfect and the view was spectacular. Check in and out was very simple and the owner is very responsive. I had no problems during my stay but we had communicated before and after. I highly recommend this charming home.
My partner and I spent an extended weekend at this house and had a lovely time. The neighborhood is picturesque and peaceful. The views from the back of the house and the porch of the water are beautiful. We enjoyed our morning coffee in the porch and just looked out over the water. The owner gives you a document called Quirks and Perks which is apt. The house is a century old and does have some little quirks but nothing that doesn't add to the charm of the house. We had a lovely stay and are so glad we booked.
Primitive... 1920's house...built as vacation home for seasonal... not updated . meager updates do not keep up with what it needs. Leaky roof...bathroom outdated ...bathtub not safe... appliques on tub .. some of them half there and not complete. no light at front door so cannot see steps at night. boathouse has no cleets to tie boat down to. Two bedroom....no ..one bedroom with two mattresses pushed together. For 1800. wk expected much nicer accommodations. Shady Side beautiful area... cabin could give you more ..
My wife and I had a wonderful weekend on the water at this lovely house. The property is clean and well stocked, perfect for a cozy stay-in or a home base to see the Bay or day trip out to Annapolis. Mary was very communicative and helpful, and the setting is beautiful in a very friendly neighborhood, a few minutes drive from groceries and local dining (check out the BBQ Pit down the road!)
Wonderful couple's retreat with spectacular views! When driving up to the property you turn a corner and boom the view is jaw dropping of the West River. The cottage was a quaint get away spot. We enjoyed mornings on the screened in front porch watching the boats go by and then watching the sunsets at night. There were many waterfront restaurants nearby that were excellent and fun. If you kayak you can get to two restaurants in 10 minutes. Responsiveness of the host was great! I would recommend this fisherman's cottage to anyon
Enjoyed our stay at this very nice property! Very clean with a quiet neighborhood and beautiful view of the water. Lovely sunsets most evenings!
This quaint cottage will take you a step back in time to more simpler time. We enjoyed watching the sunset each evening from the front porch. It was all about the water view for my husband and me. The house was well appointed with everything we needed for a pleasant get away. We plan on returning soon. Thank you to our host.
We had a lovely stay at this cottage. It was very convenient to the family event we were attending. Views out to the water were wonderful.
I stayed in this quiet little cottage for two weeks. I was in need of R and R, and I found it. Thank you Mary, I'll be back.
We had a wonderful getaway at this property! We thoroughly enjoyed seeing the many ospreys in the area, and we got some spectacular sunset photos while we were there! Worked in the dedicated office area for a couple of days and enjoyed the view of the lake while working. Great place for a couple to unwind and relax.
Beautiful, quiet, clean. comfortable, oasis. We LOVED it!
My husband loves to crab and it's just not possible with 2 young children near water. This was our first time away to crab and first time at this lovely house with a dock. The house is so cute and neighbors are very quiet hardly ever seen them. We had a awes
