Charming Waterfront Farmhouse 10 minutes from Blackwater NWR - Pet Friendly

We had a really nice stay overall. The house itself is cute, cozy, and well-stocked with thoughtful touches like board games, DVDs, and streaming apps. The waterfront setting is beautiful! We loved sitting at the kitchen table watching wildlife and even spotted eagles and osprey.A couple of things to be aware of: the bedroom layout doesn’t allow for full privacy, as there are open spaces on the sides of the rooms. This may not matter to everyone, but it was challenging for us since sound travels easily between rooms and some of us are very light sleepers. The only bathroom is downstairs, and the stairs are quite steep, so something to keep in mind for nighttime use.We also ran into an issue with the heat downstairs not working during a cold, 40 degree weekend, which made it pretty uncomfortable and unfortunately wasn’t resolved during our stay. Parking is shared with the other property and can be a bit confusing at first when arriving, and it’s very dark at night due to limited lighting (the street light was not working).That said, we really enjoyed the area. The island is charming, the people were friendly, and we had great meals at the two local spots. It’s also a quick drive to Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, which was a highlight.While the home has a lot of charm and could be perfect for a couple, the layout and heating issue would make me hesitant to stay again with a group.

Great place to stay in a beautiful setting for our visit to Blackwater Wildlife Refuge. Had a small problem with the property but host was fast to communicate and we were happy with the ultimate resolution. Very comfortable, well stocked and cozy house.

Nice place overall, clean, well stocked. Towels and sheets provided. Crabbing off the pier was good. Nice place for a quit getaway spot. Would recommend.

Beautiful cosy peaceful beautiful sunrise, and beautiful sunset everything was perfect

Home and porch is pretty and cozy. View is awesome. Dock was awesome. Great room controlled air conditioning. Love that we could bring our dog House had everything we needed. Grill was broken. Small leak in kitchen. Hose but no running water on dock. Ladder for climbing into bay should be stabilized. Outlets on one wall of kitchen not working. Everything else was in working order. Jellyfish in bay kept me from swimming. Husband fished off dock. He only caught croakers and rays. He also caught crabs in the cage which we cooked. We brought our dog to small beach a couple miles away. We went into the town of Cambridge, Blackwater National refuge drive through, and Harriet Tubman museum.

Very cozy comfortable house. It had everything we needed, great location and views, would definitely rent again!

Enjoyed our time at the bay. The property is open, airy, and bright. Loved porch with bay breezes. If you’re looking for respite from life’s normal pace, this is a wonderful place.

Was in town for family wedding. Place is clean, beautiful views and nice open space. Owners are very responsive and shared many ideas for activities in the area.

Great location, house was as expected. Large yard, firepit, great out door furniture to relax in. Pier was used extensively for fishing, crabbing, and dockage. A pleasure to use. Owners were amazing amd provided the kind of customer service you don't see anymore. Tumely and wonderful to work with. Thanks and hope to stay again!

We had a great time nice relaxing atmosphere crabbing of the dock very remote location dog loved swimming wife loved the sea glass beach down the road and food at saltys was awesome i give it 5 stars
