Come out and enjoy Autumn at the HH Ranch on Smith Island.

The perfect place to wind down, reconnect with people, culture and a way of life we’ve strayed away from. The house was amazing! The town, the good people and the atmosphere just as much.

Excellent property, excellent host. This is a very well-appointed property located very close to the ferry dock. Golf cart, bikes, and kayaks were in great shape. Chris could not have been a more responsive or helpful host.

This was our first visit to Smith Island and the Double H was perfect. It was close to the ferry landing so getting there was very easy. The house was well appointed and felt like home as soon as we arrived. We enjoyed the quiet of the island and we were able to fully disconnect and relax Thank you for a great day.

Such a lovely, cozy little house. Right in town. We could walk to restaurants and the bakery. We really enjoyed talking with the islanders and the walk out to Rhodes Point was beautiful.

Great stay, Christopher was accommodating. Great place for 2-3 people. Golf cart was a great add on. Friendly neighbors. Very short walk from boat ( use green boat) Otis

Very comfortable house that had everything we needed. Having the golf cart included in the rental was super convenient. The only downside was the sulphur smell of the water but otherwise the property was well cared for and a great location. First time to the island but we had a great time. Pelican island was amazing

This was a last min trip so it was a lot of info to gather in less a day but we did it and we made the ferry on time and we got here on a very hot and humid day. The ferry ride was fun and the dog didn’t seem to mind it. We should have mapped out where the house was better because when we arrived we were walking with our suitcases and dog and it was hot! We did finally arrive and the house was just as described. The water was right behind the house and the island was so peaceful. We relaxed and took the dog for a walk and got some food at the local restaurant - crab cakes were so good! We enjoyed our time on Smith Island - don’t forget to try the Smith Island Cake, the bakery is two doors away! Thanks for letting us share your little piece of heaven here in the middle of the Chesapeake!

Smith Island is remote, isolated, and a 45 minute ferry trip from Crisfield on lower Maryland's Eastern Shore.The house was recently renovated. It is very well furnished and equipt. Chris has a detailed handbook about what to expect on the island with names and phone numbers for residents who can provide services and give tours including the listing for the ferry boats. He is an engaged, conscientious and outstanding host who quickly and thoroughly responded to our questions. As a waterman community, resturants close very early, so some advance planning is essential. There are fortunately multiple local families that will cook dinners for reasonble prices and deliver food directly to the house.My daughter and I spent two days kayaking various water trails around the island, paddling 7 - 8 miles each day. As this was my second kayaking trip to the island, we knew what to expect and was aided by our hosts excellant handbook. The cultural center in Ewel sells detailed water trail maps published by the State of Maryland. These can also be found online. There is an abundance of wilflife on the island, such as Maryland terrapins, blue crabs, varius types of ducks, geese, great blue herons, great white egrets, commorants and brown pelicans. The waters around the island are shallow, except for the dredged channels. Much of the trails are inaccesible to boats with motors so the experience is very peaceful. Insect repellant is essential.Finally the sunsets are spectacular!

Visiting with locals, fresh steamed crabs, simply enjoying the quiet island life

Wonderful little house overall. The small bed was not great. It did not appear clean. The only sheet, the fitted one was in knots under a messy comforter. Since it was a mattress on the floor, jammed into a corner, it was not great for this 71 year old. The shower was not clean. We did not take photos.

This beautiful house is perfect for two or three travellers who want to be in the heart of a sleepy waterfront town with lots of heritage. The house is nicely updated and has all the necessary creature comforts and is a very short walk from the town's waterfront.
