Spocott is a 350-year-old house, newly renovated to provide a unique blend of history, environment, and modern comfort for a large multigenerational family. Located on Gary’s Creek on the Little Choptank River, 5.5 miles west of Cambridge in the historic Neck District of Dorchester County, Spocott House was built in 1663 and has since been owned by the same family. Spocott is the home of a former US Senator and provided inspiration for James Michener in writing Chesapeake. Immerse yourself in history, gaze at wildlife from spacious porches, and engage in a number of indoor and outdoor recreational activities. Sleeping 18 people comfortably, the house with its large waterfront, pool, boat ramp, and dock offers a wonderful opportunity for a private family getaway. Recently renovated, the house has central heating and AC, 7 bedrooms all with a water view and new beds, 3 1/2 baths, and a billiards room. Situated on 200 acres of wildlife management area, the property, bordered by over 1 mile of waterfront, has 5 miles of walking trails, birdwatching stations, ponds, proximity to great biking trails, and scenic views of the Little Choptank River. Consider off-season vacations when up to 10,000 geese inhabit the surrounding waters.

    It is a very unique house. Lots of property and plenty of things to do. The only let down was the number of jelly fish in the water. At least we had the pool which was great. Communication with the owners was excellent.

    Super nice owners, informative and available if we needed them. Home had great location, riverfront with a pool! Home was very old which gave it a bunch of charm and character. The accommodations fit our needs perfectly. Party of 12 with a few toddlers. Plenty of room. My only complaint would be the overall cleanliness of the home. It wasn’t dirty in important places but little things were. Interior rooms and kitchens were clean. The windows were all dirty, the porch needed pressure washing to get rid of dirt and cobwebs stuck in the screened in areas. The outside property was mowed but could have been weedwacked in high traffic areas like around the pool and fire pit. In the owners defense, I have very high expectations when we rent a property, and the home is very old. I am sure that I am being critical but that’s me.

    I've never stayed anywhere that gave so much information up front about things to do in the area and everything was just as he described. He was correct about the best pizza in the area and his recommendations were spot on. Our group ranged from 4 to over 60 and we all enjoyed our visit. It was a very traditional, restful week--the highlights were probably crab trapping, Layton's Winery and the horses.

    We enjoyed our stay at Spocott so much that we never had any reason to leave! There are so many activities and so many different gathering spaces that it was the perfect retreat for our large, multi-generational group of cousins.

    Spocott is a special place owned by very special people, Jackie and George Radcliff.We loved the property and the history, the constant beautiful breezes, sunsets, s'mores by the fire, the pool, all the space...our dogs were in heaven too. We had ages one month to 85 years of age and all were happy and occupied, cannot wait to return!

    We really enjoyed this property that has so much water frontage. There are huge lawn trees that provide ample shade on how summer days. The host were very responsive and helpful in answering questions and giving recommendations.

    What a lovely historical property surrounded by nature’s bounty! I can’t say enough about George and Jackie and their beautiful home and property. There is bird watching, fishing, trails for hiking, pickleball, basketball, horse shoes, swimming and just plain porch sitting! We enjoyed the screened in porch for games, reading, coffee, and just soaking in the beautiful landscape. We had coffee by the pool and campfire and s’mores in the evening. Our hosts have thought of everything you may need to enjoy this property. We loved learning the history of the home and George’s family. I can’t say enough about these hosts and this gorgeous property. What a relaxing week we had with extended family (ages 22-81)!

    We had a great time . There was something for all ages to enjoy. The pool was great and well maintained. The home was different than any place we have stayed-old farmhouse- but even kids found it to be fun.
